Hi guys,
After TI groupstage I started to test my betting skills and I've been wondering about some of these questions:
1. Are there people who specialize solely in esports betting?
2. What kind of volume can you achieve in a month (# of +ev bets)?
2.1 Spread among how many disciplines?
3. Should esports betting roi be a bit higher than traditional/popular sports?
And maybe anyone can share their statistics so far (discipline, # of bets, roi)?
From the beginning of the TI 2015 groupstage (3rd of August) I've made 40 bets and achieved 18.21% roi. I've made most of my bets on the underdogs and if I understand correctly I could have lost a little bit or made very good returns. So happens I'm somewhere inbetween at the moment.
1. Yes. I acutally don't know anyone who bets both on esports and on other things professionally. I think you really need to know your niche very well to make money. I doubt you can make money without knowing the scene very well.
2. I don't want to talk about my own volume. You have to consider though that since the roi is usually quite low you have to put in the volume to make it worth while. I analyse a huge amounts of bets. The bets i take in the end are a very low amount, maybe 50 a month.
2.1 Only starcraft 2 for me
3. I don't know anything about traditional sports. What I do think is that if you find a niche market (can be also a tradional sport, e.g. regional or not the highest league) the roi should be better. There is probably less competition from professional bettors but also less volume. Keep in mind that this is only my assumption I have not seen any statistics on that topic.
Roi varies heavily for me. Just to give you a dimension I would say 5%.
