Learning to make money on Dota 2

Underdog betting

If favorites bring money in Dota 2, then in CS:GO it is more profitable to believe in outsiders. Yes, quotes for an underdog rarely exceed 2.50, but even such a coefficient allows you to have a ROI of 5–7% at a distance, if you analyze the latest performances of the teams at least minimally.

Catching up with odds above 2.00 is a very nice thing: the amount of the bet increases no more than twice, so a modest bankroll is enough for a successful game.

TB (2.5) by cards

The first two rounds are alternately held by the opponents on their favorite maps, and it is quite logical that most of the meetings go to the destroyer (additional scenario). Scores of 2-1 or 1-2 are much more common than 2-0 or 0-2. Your task is to choose matches of rivals comparable in terms of level and load on three maps in a match.

Financial strategy is only a matter of taste. It is almost impossible to lose a bankroll when playing flat, but you are unlikely to show an ROI above 10%. But catch-up will bring ROI up to 25%, but the chance of losing all the money is much higher, because. no one is immune from long-term loose streaks.

TO by rounds

A rare match in CS:GO goes completely without a fight, and even more so when the underdog has a well-pumped card up his sleeve. Therefore, a bet on TB will never be a mistake and is a more accurate alternative to TB by cards: in order to play cards, a priori need a score of 1-1, and the standard high total (55.5) often goes smoothly in a dry match (for example, 16:13 and 16:11 on two maps).

It's the same story here: if you vote for reliability - choose flat, if you want to raise as much as possible - catch up.
