Esports Betting at v7v7 — A Complete Guide to Betting on Competitive Gaming
CS2, Dota 2, Valorant and League of Legends — bet at v7v7 on the world's top esports tournaments. A wide range of markets is available here, from match winner to map handicap.
How Esports Betting Works
Esports betting works essentially like regular sports betting — the difference is that the competition takes place in a video game. Two teams or two players face off in a set game, and you predict who will win or which event will occur.
For each match, v7v7 sets odds. These odds show which team is considered stronger and what your potential return on a bet could be. You can bet before the match starts (pre-match) or while the match is in progress (live betting).
Before placing a bet, it helps to have a basic understanding of the game's rules and the recent performance of both teams. Esports tournaments are usually played in BO3 (best of three maps, first to win two) or BO5 format, so knowing the format helps you understand the markets.

Popular Esports Betting Markets
The markets below are the most commonly used among esports bettors. A simple example is given for each one.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the entire match. In a BO3 match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B, the bet settles in your favour only if Team B wins.
Simplest MarketMap Winner
Who wins one specific map in a BO3 or BO5 series. Example: whether Team A will win the second map.
Popular in CS2 and ValorantMap Handicap
The stronger team is given an artificial deficit. Example: Team A at -1.5 maps means Team A must win by at least 2-0.
Balanced OddsTotal Maps (Over/Under)
How many maps will be played in the series in total — example: betting the over on 2.5 means 3 maps must be played (BO3 series).
Widely Used in Dota 2First Blood / First Kill
Which team gets the very first kill of the match. In CS2, this market is available at the start of each round.
Quick ResultTournament Winner
Which team will win the championship of an entire tournament. For major competitions, bets can be placed well in advance.
Long-term BetOdds Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
Three odds formats appear in esports betting. Two practical examples below clarify how each works.
Example 1 — Team A Wins (৳500 bet)
Decimal: 2.25 | Fractional: 5/4 | American: +125
All three formats express the same odds — only the way they are written differs.
If Team A wins, return: ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + original ৳500 back).
If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B Favourite (৳500 bet)
Decimal: 1.50 | Fractional: 1/2 | American: -200
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100 — here it is ৳200.
If Team B wins, return: ৳750 (৳250 profit + original ৳500).
Decimal format shows the total return directly — bet amount multiplied by odds. Fractional format shows only the profit, excluding the original stake. In American format, "+" means that amount of profit per ৳100 bet, and "-" means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. Decimal is the most common format on esports sites.
Pre-Match vs Live Betting
Pre-Match Betting
Bets are placed before the match begins. During this time odds are relatively stable and there is more opportunity to think before placing a bet. Pre-match betting options for major tournament matches may open several days in advance.
Live Betting
You can bet while the match is in progress and the odds change every moment. If one team takes the lead in the first round, the opponent's odds will increase. Live betting requires quick decisions, so some experience helps. Alongside live betting at v7v7, you can also get a real-time experience at the Playtech Live Casino.
Both types of betting have their own advantages. For newcomers, starting with pre-match is easier.
Practical Tips and Common Mistakes
Useful Tips
- Learn the basic rules of the game before betting — CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant each have different mechanics.
- Start with small bets instead of one large bet — your balance lasts longer and you get the chance to understand different markets.
- Do not rush in live betting — take a little time to understand the pace at which odds change.
- Focus on a specific game or tournament — betting everywhere at once creates confusion.
Common Mistakes
- Always backing the well-known team to win — in esports, the underdog often surprises.
- Placing large bets to recover losses — this turns what should be entertainment into a stressful experience.
- Adding too many selections to a multi-bet — if even one loses, the entire bet is gone.
- Betting without knowing the match format — markets work differently in BO1 and BO3 matches.
Betting is always for entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to play responsibly.
