My Esports Betting Adventures
 

Near the beginning of July, I happened to basically get my index finger crushed in a stupid accident, leading to me being unable to really play any starcraft. Fortunately, I was still able to watch most of the tournaments that happened in the past few weeks, and what better way to make the viewing experience more exciting than by adding in a little stake to go with it! After skimming through the article on betting on this site, I decided to put in 50 euros (which after conversion came out to around 83 SGD) into my pinnacle account and began betting.

At the start, I just casually went with my heart, betting purely based on who i wanted to win, instead of who I believed would win ... which didn't go too well at all ...



And there went my capital. Unwilling to just give up like that, I put in another 50euros for 1 last try. I decided to put in a little more thought before betting and also made use of statistics like current form and past history of players involved. And with some luck...



As my balance increased, so did my stakes ...



It was a mixed experience as on good days I could win hundreds and similarly on bad days I could lose as much if not more easily. I noticed a few trends throughout my first month of betting:

1. Dota is really unpredictable:


2. Proleague on the other hand...


All in all, it was a really fun month, which contributed to a new and unique experience while watching games as I found myself more invested than I was previously. I hope you enjoyed reading the blog as much as I did sharing it, and perhaps encourage you to try out betting occasionally for yourself!
