Today with the use of sports betting many people wants to include the esports and one of the growing betting site is with the use of esports commonly with the use with the games like the defense of the ancients 2, league of legends, Fortnite and many more. Esports betting is one of the best matches today and also there are a lot of websites that support the team analysis it shows the stats of the team win rate, player analysis and records and by the data we can gather is we can use to find out which team will win the game.
I agree to @TheUltraElite. There are fixed matches but mostly in esports it's not the bookies that run it but it's the players themselves. For example, there were already a lot of players that were banned by valve due to match fixing. Knowing that Valve is the owner of steam where Dota 2 currently runs and the one that organizes huge tournaments with millions of prize pools, it's a devastating ban for life for those involved players.
https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Banned_playersThis is precisely why I can never bet on esports. I'm not saying it's full of cheats or anything but I've heard stories from lower levels and seen myself in my country some of the local tournaments, where it's just full of deals and backdoor agreements.
Good to ban people for life from cheating. I absolutely hate it.
It's painful to the side of the bettors because they are supporting a specific team, knowing that the team they are supporting is already accepted or designated to lose the game. This covers the whole betting platform for Dota 2 which includes item and also to those bookies which are the bets are into bitcoin. The punishment is hard and it's removing your whole career into the competitive scene if you are a pro player.
Dota 2 is one of the best competitive game of all time today the valve or the pro scene if the world of dota now supports the use of esports betting like the gosugamers and odds of the winrate of the time and this is good because the viewers see the potential odds of winning of the team.
