5777bat Esports Betting — place bets on professional gaming tournaments
Bet on pre-match and live markets across the world's top esports events including CS2, Dota 2, Valorant and League of Legends. Odds update as the match progresses, so every round brings new opportunities.
How Esports Betting Works
Esports betting is a way to bet on the results of professional video game competitions. Just like cricket or football, two teams or players compete against each other, and as a bettor you predict which side will win.
At 5777bat, choose a match, select a market, enter the amount you want to bet, then confirm on the bet slip. Your win or loss is determined by the match result. If you are familiar with cricket betting, you will find the process here almost identical.
Higher odds on a team generally means they are considered less likely to win. However, higher odds also mean a larger payout if they do win. Before placing a bet, check the team's recent performance and map statistics.
Popular Esports Betting Markets
The most commonly used markets in CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant, with a brief example for each
Match Winner
Bet on which of two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Simplest MarketMap Handicap
A handicap is applied to the stronger team to even things out. For example, if Team A is given a -1.5 map handicap, they must win by at least 2-0.
Strategic MarketTotal Maps
Bet on how many maps will be played in the series. Example: Over 2.5 means your bet wins if three or more maps are played.
Over/Under MarketFirst Map Winner
Bet on who wins only the first map, not the series. A team can win the first map but still lose the overall series.
Partial MarketTournament Champion
A long-term bet on which team will win the entire tournament. Odds are generally higher because many teams are competing.
Outright MarketFirst Objective
Bet on which team gets the first kill or first objective in a match. The result is usually known within the first few minutes of play.
In-Game MarketA Simple Guide to Understanding Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — all three formats carry the same information, just written differently
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳450 (profit ৳250 + stake ৳200); if they lose, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (minus odds show how much you need to stake to make a ৳100 profit). With a ৳200 stake, total return is ৳360 (profit ৳160).
Why are decimal odds easier?
Decimal format makes it straightforward to calculate the total return: stake × odds = total return. ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450. Most Bangladeshi bettors prefer this format.
- Any number above 1.0 is decimal odds
- The lower the number, the more favoured that team is
- The higher the number, the lower the chance of winning but the higher the return
- Fractional and American formats show the same information in a different way
Pre-Match vs Live Betting
Understanding the advantages and differences between the two approaches makes it easier to bet at the time that suits you
Pre-Match Betting
- Bets are placed before the match starts
- Odds are set in advance
- Enough time to analyse before deciding
- A good starting point for new bettors
- Tournament outright bets are also pre-match
Live Betting
- Bet in real time while the match is ongoing
- Odds update after each round or period
- You can make decisions based on how the match is going
- Fast-moving odds can be missed
- WL Live section has more live options
Live betting is especially popular in esports because a single round in CS2 or Dota 2 can turn a match around quickly. Even so, it is better to be patient and wait for the right moment rather than placing bets in a rush during live play.
Useful Tips and Common Mistakes
Check team form
Rather than betting on name alone, look at the results of the team's last five matches. Esports team performance can go up and down quickly.
Focus on one game
CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant each have different rules and meta. Trying to bet on all games at once makes it hard to give each one the attention it deserves.
Set a budget
Betting is for entertainment. Set a fixed amount before each betting session and do not go beyond it. Read the responsible gaming guidelines for more detail.
Keep a clear head during live betting instead of getting carried away by emotion
A common mistake during live matches is increasing your bet on a favourite team out of emotion when they fall behind. If the odds are not logically attractive, it is better not to bet at all.
Be careful with multi-bets
Combining several matches multiplies the odds, but if one selection loses the entire bet is lost. For new bettors, starting with one or two selections is a sensible approach.
