How to bet on virtual football – FIFA 20?
Cyber football is the most popular virtual sports destination. For this reason, several competitions are simultaneously held at once, in some only e-sportsmen participate, in others professional players fight.
Matches are held daily in tournaments:
- League Pro (Ultimate Team competitions among the best esportsmen in Russia);
- ESports Battle series (cybersportsmen representing football clubs play the top tournaments – Champions League, Europa League, World and European Championships);
- Exhibition competitions in which professional football players take part.
League Pro – the best option “Both will score”
Only the best Russian e-sportsmen play on the virtual fields of this tournament, so matches with one wicket are extremely rare. In addition, battles are held in a special game mode “Ultimate Team”, in which participants form their team based on the budget. It is for this reason that two Messis, Neymar and even Gullit can appear on the field at the same time.
In lineups, attacking potential almost always prevails over defense, so both esportsmen usually differ at least once.
You can learn more about the peculiarities of betting on total in cyber football with the participation of artificial intelligence in a special material.
League of Nations and League of Europe from eSports Battle – total over
The peculiarity of eSports Battle tournaments is that esportsmen represent teams in exactly the same lineups that are represented in the game. They do not have the opportunity to strengthen their club with top players, and the national team or team is determined by a draw. In these tournaments, the difference in the composition of the participants and their ratings is too great, therefore, there are systematic defeats.
The best option for betting on these events is the total over 3.5 goals. This outcome breaks through with a high degree of probability.
You can read about the influence of the match format on the result in FIFA 20 in a special study.
Champions League from eSports Battle – “plus” handicap outsider
But in this competition, only the teams that have received a ticket to the current playoff draw are performing, so there are simply no weak participants there. And the team representatives are some of the best cyber football players in Europe. Firstly, opponents try to pay great attention to defensive actions, they rarely reveal themselves.
Secondly, the advantage in the score very rarely exceeds the difference in two goals, the teams are often equal. The best option for a bet is an outsider's handicap of (+2) goals
Exhibition competitions
During the quarantine, the organizers of e-sports competitions began to invite professional football players to tournaments in order to increase the interest of the audience. Such professional footballers as Bale, James Rodriguez, Lukaku, Zinchenko and Dziuba managed to appear at various FIFA 20 tournaments.
Players live up to expectations, throw out fiery matches and enjoy the game, but rarely seriously care about the result.
For this reason, it is better to watch the battles of football players for fun, not to place bets on these events, because their outcome is too unpredictable
Virtual Hockey Betting – NHL 20
Cyber hockey is currently represented by only a few major competitions, and professional hockey players are in no hurry to hold exhibition battles.
Matches of the following tournaments are held daily:
- League Pro (competition of the best esportsmen in Russia playing for NHL clubs);
- ESports Battle tournaments (the best players in Europe play for national teams and NHL clubs).
And the features of betting on virtual hockey, in which teams are led by artificial intelligence, can be found in the profile note
League Pro – TB (4)
A similar situation, as with football, is observed in interactive hockey from the Pro League. The best cybersportsmen of the country, who are very well versed in physics and the inner content of the game, compete at the tournament. In addition, the mode also provides for the presence of the best players in the National Hockey League on each team.
Players rarely bet on defense, they usually try to win at the expense of the attacking potential of their team. In addition, you need to remember the peculiarities of the game of individual esportsmen. For example, Karagodin always gives effective matches, it does not particularly depend on the opponent.
National Team Matches from eSports Battle – Grassroots Total
It just so happened that national teams in the NHL are designed in such a way that the defensive lines almost always outperform the attackers in power. Cybersportsmen understand this very well, therefore they use defensive tactics. Washers are generally a rare thing, and more than four are practically not scored.
The best option for betting on matches of national teams is the total under 4.5 goals.
NBA 20 Virtual Basketball Betting
Cyberbasketball began its active development only during the quarantine, soon it is planned to hold the Russian championship, in which even a professional basketball player, Dmitry Kulagin, will take part.
In the meantime, the line of bookmakers has the following competitions:
- Regular NBA Cup (the best North American esportsmen represent their favorite clubs);
- Tournament among NBA players (professional basketball players will converge on a virtual court).
Features of betting on virtual basketball performed by AI can be found in a separate article
NBA Regular Cup – Lowest Total
Professional e-sportsmen attach great importance to the defense of their ring, since they perfectly understand the strength and weakness of their squad. Virtual basketball players of the leading NBA clubs have a high level of shooting accuracy, so players try to interrupt attacks on the way to the three-point zone.
For this reason, in NBA regular cup matches, total under 150 points is almost ideal for betting.
Professionals – “race to 75 points – nobody”
Professional basketball players cannot pay much attention to the game due to constant training, therefore they play at a rather amateurish level. For this reason, the ball very often flies into the milk, the players do not try to find the best option for throwing, but simply shoot at the ring.
Athletes are not particularly worried about the result and just enjoy the game, there are quite a few abandoned points.
The subtleties of betting on virtual tennis – AO Tennis
Cybertennis is the youngest of these areas, and there are still too few tournaments, not all European countries have representatives of the cybersport sphere in this type of virtual sport.
The following competitions can be found on the open spaces of bookmaker lines:
- Men's eSports tournaments;
- Women's eSports tournaments.

You can safely bet on the score 2: 0 in favor of the favorite, since he calmly takes his serve due to playing skill, and wins at the reception with a high degree of probability
What bookmakers offer these types of bets?
