• event outcome. There are also many similarities with the usual types of bets. As a rule, the bet is placed on P1, P2, X;
• handicap bet. It can be plus or minus. If in an esports competition one of the participants or teams has a clear advantage, then you can bet with a more favorable odds on the handicap – positive for the outsider and negative for the favorite;
• total betting. Depends on the type of discipline. The odds in this case are also quite high, but this type of bet is recommended to be made at the beginning of the competition.

CS:GO betting

The cycle of the game includes two periods – in the first 15 rounds, and the second – up to 16 team wins. In case of a draw, additional periods are assigned.

Tips for beginners

To begin with, the bettor is advised to choose a suitable bookmaker with low margins. It is necessary that the bookmaker does not limit the actions of winning bettors.

The player should collect information about the player and concentrate on one market or tournament. You should not bet on several games at the same time, so as not to drain the bank.
