I just don't understand why some people can say that esports betting aren't worth it since it looks like all the games and matches are all 50/50. These words can only came to those that do not follow an esport game.
For me, there is no difference between esports betting and sports betting when it comes to chances of winning. Betting odds aren't just made in order to fail. Esports betting is a growing market.
Well, at least in my experience, match fixing is still said to be an issue with e-Sports. TO be honest, there is a disproportionate amount of matches for how low the stakes can be and how small some teams are. It might seem too intriguing to some new players that their team is now playing on matches that can be bet on, and there have been report sof players fixing their own matches to bet on them... This is easier to be done in esports than other events. Especially so since the rewards for a tournament can be at the level of a per-match salary for real-world sports. In such cases fixing your match might even be more profitable. Also easier to hide since it's a virtual environment.
We can't do anything about match-fixing because it is what it is for them to bracket the esports team, I think that is unfortunate for some teams to fight a recent champion on the tournament within their brackets. As a better, it would be a safe decision if you bet on the highest probability team that would win a certain game but sometimes upset happens and some underdogs win unexpectedly. Like TNC who did the biggest upset on Dota history as defeating the biggest team on the tournament.
Miracles happen, do they?
