Depends alot on the game, but teamwork counts alot for integrity of results and likelihood the team is practising together, etc. I got alot more faith in an underdog bet when I believe that team has underlying potential to keep improving and surprising in their results, alot of that revolves around the team spirit being healthy. The biggest mistake people make is counting results evenly when some games wont have the effort spent on them over others, some enemy teams or the map choice allows an easier result.

There are a lot of analysis that we need to know in order to win in Esports betting. Before you place a bet you need to know who's underdog and who's have upper hand. I often bet in dota 2 and I have high win rate because I always identifying the strength and the weaknesses of the team before I bet my money.

for instance?
share these tools because apart from hltv, I don't see anything worth using...

In what game do you mean by that word 'often'?

Not specifically a certain game, but in general.

I don't know about the other games but I'm pretty sure that in Dota 2 and CSGO the percentage of fixed match is small especially if its big tournament or atleast minor tier.

How are you sure? Do you have any proof and would like to show it or tell about it?

I still think that fixed match cases in esports are way less than sports, based on two games that i mentioned before.

eSports still seem much easier to fix. In a real match where players are sweating and beating each other up, primal emotions become more obvious, impulsiveness and anger often fuel a player to forget his promise to the bookie to lose the match and may end up doing something rash which may lead to a win. Chances that the big whale who paid the team to take part in fixing ends up going South.

Thats what I have felt in game, but play acting is also possible so you may have a point worth discussing too.

Not necessarily. Imagine the equipment and artificial AI that detects that a player doesn't play 100% of his or her abilities, but just plays worse and makes mistakes that are unusual? You think this is not possible?

We don't know what is happening behind that curtain.

All we know is that these professional players do their best to take home this prize money. In Dota 2, there are a lot of players getting banned because of this, and they really regret they did it. For me, it is not that less but a lot of things proved that fixing is not a thing anymore. In the past, we can only see the games being played, right now we can see how players evolve and rage in a tournament showing their regrets when they commit mistakes.

Dota is a game better to be avoided - 50 % russian cheaters
