eSoccer battle betting is an alternative to placing wagers on real football, such as the Premier League and Champions League. It features competitive video gaming action played on leading titles from EA Sports.
With professional players and live streaming bringing fans the latest coverage of major tournaments, eSoccer betting is a popular sports betting niche worldwide. It features fast-paced digital action, and at Betsson, there are a variety of markets to explore.
eSoccer vs Real Soccer
The markets for a bet on eSoccer are similar to those found for regular football betting, as options like 'Match Result', 'Correct Score', and 'Both Teams to Score' are available. Other similarities include league and cup formats for competitions.
Instead of players strapping on their boots and taking to the field, eSoccer is a digital online game between competing players sitting behind their computers.
eSoccer games are also shorter than real-life fixtures. They are usually played over 8 or 12 minutes and can feature just one player controlling an entire team or up to a team of eleven players, each controlling an individual virtual footballer.
Popular eSoccer Betting Tournaments
This form of esports is a global phenomenon, thanks to the popularity of the real game and the stunning realism of video games. There is also a competitive edge, with professional eSoccer players playing for real prize money.
eSoccer battle betting comes from one of the biggest leagues, where many of the top players from around the world, including England, Italy, Argentina, Spain, and Germany, compete for supremacy.
Game developer Konami's eFootball Champions Open and the eFootball Championship Club Event are some of the newer competitions on the market. One of the biggest eSoccer events is the Esports World Cup, played on EA Sports's FC 24.
Markets for eSoccer Battle Betting
Betting on eSoccer is much the same as placing wagers on regular football. The 'Match Result' markets are listed well before kick-off, so there is time to check out the latest standings and form of the teams involved.
Among the popular markets for eSport odds are the ‘Goals’, Handicap’, and ‘Halves’ markets, as well as numerous live betting options.
Goals Markets
Covering everything from the correct score for the entire game or a particular half through to a prop bet on whether the number of goals in the match will be odd or even, there are many goal-focused options for a bet on eSoccer.
Handicap Markets
You can find both standard and Asian handicap markets. Pre-match, there are options for individual teams and halve handicaps, as well as a variety of eSoccer live odds.
Halves
Betting on the '1st Half Result' or how many goals will be scored in the second half of the virtual game are further options for eSoccer battle betting.
Below are some of the popular markets:
- 1X2 Betting
- Double Chance
- Over/Under 2.5 Goals
- Both Teams to Score
- Draw No Bet
- Home/Away to Score
- Half-Time/Full-Time
eSoccer Live Betting & Streaming
At Betsson, free esports streams accompany the latest live betting odds. Look for the live play button next to a market to watch the latest action.
There is a fantastic variety of eSoccer live odds on popular markets like 'Draw No Bet' and 'Match Result' after kick-off. Markets like 'Team To Score Five Goals' and 'Which Team Wins The Rest Of The Match' further enhance the variety.
For some fixtures, a full graphical representation of the game is provided. This feature of live eSoccer battle betting shows the flow of a match, including which team is in the midst of an attacking play, a corner, a dangerous attack, and other major match events.
eSoccer Betting Tips
Access to the stats is an essential component, just as it is for regular football betting odds. Get up-to-date listings of league standings and recent results from teams. Statistics will help with areas like identifying free-scoring teams and determining players' overall strengths and weaknesses.
A wide variety of leagues from across the world appear in the eSoccer betting listings at Betsson. It's hard to cover them all, so pick out your favourite leagues and focus entirely on them to gain familiarity with the players.
