The Best Esports Games to Bet On at Betiton UK

At Betiton UK, we know that esports enthusiasts like betting on various games, so we have all the best ones to bet on. Let’s look at the best video games you can bet on on our platform.

Call of Duty

Call of Duty has become a very popular franchise in the video game community thanks to its modern and realistic setting. Compared to other video games, it’s also easier to play and understand. The game involves a team of seven to ten players competing to be the last standing on the map. The aim is to eliminate the other team and complete mission objectives in a war-like setting.

Counter-Strike

There are a number of games in the Counter-Strike series, but Counter-Striker: Global Offensive, the 4th game in the series, is the most popular one. This entertaining game involves two teams, the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists, going up against each other.

The aim is to eliminate the other team while successfully completing various tasks. These can include trying to plant a bomb or rescuing hostages. It’s a popular game among those who like to bet on games with a range of bet types and markets due to its diverse gameplay.

Dota 2

Dota 2 has become one of the world’s most lucrative esports games. The game is contested match-by-match, with two teams of five players competing against each other. Each player gets to control a powerful hero who has a unique set of abilities and different styles of play.

Each team has to try and defend their base and destroy their opponents’ Ancient – a structure found within the confines of each team’s base. There are several items that can be collected during a match to aid a team’s march to victory.

Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 is a real-time strategy game where each player is tasked with building and commanding an army capable of wiping out an opponent’s army. This is one of those games that requires an understanding of tactics and strategies and the ability to think fast.

Like many UK esports betting options, Starcraft has both single and multiplayer modes, but the latter is the most popular in the competitive sphere.

Valorant

Valorant is a first-person shooter which combines hero-based abilities with tactical gameplay. The game consists of two five-player teams aiming to defend or attack designated sites on the map.

Each player gets to choose a unique hero, each with their set of skills, to help contribute to their team’s success. Valorant emphasises communication, individual skill, and teamwork.

Each match is fast-paced and requires participants to make decisions in seconds, execute strategies, and show their mechanical prowess. The balance between team coordination and individual skill makes it a great game for live betting.

League of Legends

League of Legends, also known as LoL, currently has over 100 million active players. It involves each player assuming the role of a particular champion. Each champion has its own set of skills, and you need to battle individually or with a team against another team, player, or computer-controlled Champion.

The aim of this game is to destroy your opponent’s Nexus, which is the heart of their base. The champion can increase strength throughout the match by collecting various items.

Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite Battle Royale is the most popular game in the Fortnite series, and it is now a bit of a cultural phenomenon. Like PUBG, this game involves a single player or a team of up to four players getting airdropped onto a map. You must play with your teammates and keep opposing players at bay while scavenging for resources, weapons, and vehicles.

As the match progresses, the map shrinks, and a toxic storm attacks the players’ health. The last players standing just before the map disappears completely win the game.

eSoccer

Considering football’s popularity in the UK and worldwide, it’s no surprise that esoccer games like FIFA are among the most popular in the esports community.

Esoccer is highly popular for betting due to football’s global appeal. The objective of these games is very simple and much like a real football match: players must defeat the opposing team by scoring the most goals. There are many esoccer events that you can bet on, and we will offer odds and markets for the best ones right here at Betiton UK.

Betiton UK Esports Betting Markets

Due to the increasing popularity of esports betting, there are many different markets that you can bet on at Betiton. In this section of our guide, you can learn more about the most common esports markets available at Betiton UK.

Outright Winner

Betting on the outright winner refers to predicting the winning player or team in a tournament/competition. This market is about predicting the overall winner of the entire event rather than a single match—for example, the winner of the Valorant Champions.

Match Winner

The match winner is a similar market but involves predicting the winner of a single game or match and, for example, betting on which team will win a match in FIFA. This tends to be the most common market in most sports betting.

Map Winner

This is a standard betting market for games like League of Legends, Dota 2, and CS:GO. It involves betting on the team you think will win a specific map in a tournament. Your chosen team doesn’t necessarily need to win the entire round; it only needs to win the map.

First Kill

This is one of the most popular markets among bettors, and it involves betting on the team or player to get the first kill. It’s also called the ‘first blood’ bet for some games. As one of the more specific bets in esports, the payout can be quite rewarding if you get it right. However, it’s a risky bet because the odds are low.

Total Kills

The total kills bet is similar to the previously described market but refers to predicting the total number of kills made in a match. This means that kills made by either team count, and it typically has an over/under format with the bookmaker providing a number. If you think the number of kills will exceed that number, you bet ‘over’. If you think it will be less, you choose the ‘under’ option.

Esports Betting Odds Explained by Betiton UK

Betting odds are the numbers or figures used by bookmakers like Betiton UK to indicate the likelihood of a specific event happening. Punters use these odds to place their bets, form their predictions, and calculate the potential return on their wager.

You can find three different odds formats at Betiton. The decimal format is the default for our British players, but you can choose an alternative format if you prefer.

The different formats are explained below:

• Decimal: The decimal format is a simple numerical representation of the potential return, including your stake. The smaller the number, the higher the odds of winning, and vice versa. For example, if Team Liquid have odds of 1.51 and FaZe Clan have odds of 4.20, the first is more likely to win. It also means that if you were to bet £10 on Team Liquid winning, you’ll get a return of £15.10 if they win.
• Fractional: In this format, the right number is the amount you must bet to win the amount on the left. For example, if you bet £10 on odds of 7/1, you get a total return of £80 and make a profit of £70.
• American: This format represents the odds with a ‘+’ or ‘-‘ sign attached to a number. The positive sign indicates the underdog (the least likely to win), while the negative sign indicates the favourite. The number with a positive sign is the amount that can be won for every £100 wagered, while the negative number is the amount that must be wagered to win £100.

Esports Betting Tips by Betiton UK

Like traditional sports betting, it’s important to approach esports betting with careful thinking and knowledge. You can place random bets and hope for the best, but you’ll significantly reduce your odds.

While the element of luck can never be eliminated from betting, you can consider implementing these expert tips to improve your strategy when placing bets.

• Check out recent stats: Review current team form guides, previous tournament results, team rankings, and fixture history before choosing your bet. This will give you a better understanding of the competition and the teams most likely to perform the best.
• Play the game: Playing the game you want to bet on will allow you to understand better its intricacies, rules, and elements that can influence a player’s performance. Understanding the various game modes and required skills will give you a better chance of making accurate predictions.
• Know the players and teams: Take the time to read about the competing players and teams, paying particular attention to any new members or changes in team formation. Players bring unique skills and assets to a team that can influence the overall odds.
• Focus on one game: This is particularly important if you’re new to esports betting. Before betting on multiple tournaments, stick to one game to build your knowledge and experience. It’s also a good idea to start with simpler bets like outright betting before experimenting with more advanced markets.

Esports Live Betting at Betiton UK

Live esports betting is betting on a match or competition when it’s already in play. The odds in live betting fluctuate regularly, unlike in pre-match bets, which change less rapidly. This means you’ll need to react quickly to the events and take advantage of rapidly changing odds. At Betiton UK, we offer a range of live odds and markets for the most popular esports events.
