With several Majors in the DOTA 2 Pro Circuit now commencing in different areas of the world, it’s high time to join the action and prepare for your first, or next, DOTA 2 bet. The DPC, particularly The International, is the biggest and most lucrative betting event in all of esports, and it serves a staple in all major sportsbooks like Nitrogen Sports. So with this short esports betting guide, you’ll learn how to successfully place a bet on the various tournaments in DOTA 2.

Know the top teams

The winningest teams in DOTA 2 include OG, Evil Geniuses, and Virtuous.Pro, if we’re talking about track records. But don’t get us wrong; just because we’ve mentioned who the strongest teams are, doesn’t mean you’ll just automatically bet on them. Having this knowledge will simply give you a better idea on what to expect, or to consider and a better understanding of the odds and how they are presented in the market.

Know the heroes

Getting to know all the heroes and their unique characteristics is a plus, especially in DOTA 2 Bitcoin esports betting. If you know your way around a hero and apply that knowledge to a team player’s hero preference, then you can instantly gauge their winning chances and how a play may turn out at the end. So before you place your bet, do your DOTA 2 review and learn everything you can about the heroes and hero selections.

Know how a team plays

Knowing the strongest and the weakest team is one thing, understanding each team’s play style is another. You don’t stop at identifying the bad and the good based on win record; you dig deeper into their records by taking a closer look into their map decisions, hero selections, and most importantly, team coordination. That’s why an esports betting guide always comes in handy!

Know your sportsbook

Whether you’re into regular cash betting or Bitcoin esports betting, it’s important to know that your sportsbook has to offer and how it hosts DOTA 2 betting events for you to explore your options and ensure a smooth betting process. Be sure to check the betting lines available, refresh constantly for updates, and the best odds possible.
