CS:GO betting strategies
In this modality of Esports there are numerous strategies, so we also have to take into account many factors when making our forecasts and learning how to win bets on csgo games.
The most important thing to keep in mind is the choice of side. To decide who plays on each side, a first round is played that does not affect the score. The winner of the round will choose whether he is a terrorist or an anti-terrorist. This is important since some maps are more favorable to terrorists, and others to terrorists. That is, some team will have an advantage depending on the chosen side.
Therefore, we can find a team that came out with high odds that has chosen the most favorable side for the maps and therefore, will have an advantage and it will be interesting to bet in their favor.
The rapport between the players and team members is also key when making bets. Before betting on a team we will have to check the members of it to make sure that they play the best. If we see any important absence, it will be interesting to bet against the team in question.
