What Is eSports Betting?

Betting on video game tournaments — an introduction

Esports betting means wagering on the results of professional video game competitions. Just like backing a team to win in cricket or football, it works the same way in esports — except the arena is a computer screen, and the athletes are professional gamers.

Over the past decade, e-sports has grown into a global industry. Events like The International (Dota 2), CS2 Major, Valorant Champions Tour, and the League of Legends World Championship draw millions of viewers, with prize pools worth crores of BDT. Betting markets have developed around this ecosystem — covering match results, map winners, first blood, and much more.

The e-sports betting section at 162 is built with Bangladeshi gamers and sports fans in mind. A clean interface, a seamless mobile experience, and easy-to-read odds formats are what set 162's e-sports betting experience apart.

Know before you start

There are no guaranteed wins in esports betting — outcomes are entirely uncertain.
Every betting market's odds include a house edge — this is the platform's built-in mathematical advantage.
Knowing about a tournament before you bet on it makes the experience more enjoyable and informed.
Set a budget and stay within it — never chase your losses.

Odds Guide

How do you read odds?

Odds are the most important concept in e-sports betting. Understanding them tells you which team is favoured and how much you stand to receive if your bet wins.

1.85

Decimal Odds

The simplest format — just multiply your stake by the odds to get your total potential return. For example, a BDT 100 bet at odds of 1.85 returns a total of BDT 185.

Stake 100 × Odds 1.85 = BDT 185

+185

American (Money Line)

A positive number (+) means underdog — how much you win on a BDT 100 bet. A negative number (-) means favorite — how much you need to bet to win BDT 100. Some platforms use this format.

+185: profit on a 100 stake BDT 185

17/20

Fractional Odds

In this traditional British format, the left number is the potential profit and the right is the stake. 17/20 means a BDT 20 stake returns BDT 17 in profit. Decimal odds are far more common in esports.

17 wins out of 20 bets = 37 Total

Reading implied probability from odds

The formula for deriving implied probability from decimal odds is straightforward: 1 ÷ odds × 100 = probability (%).

Odds 1.50 (Strong Favorite)

67%

Odds 2.00 (even chance)

50%

Odds 3.00 (Underdog)

33%

Odds 5.00 (Heavy Underdog)

20%

Odds 10.00 (Rare Outcome)

10%

Implied probability includes the house edge — so the combined percentages across all markets always add up to more than 100%.

Practical Tips for Reading Odds

Low odds (e.g., 1.20–1.50) indicate a favourite — a higher chance of winning, but a lower return.
Higher odds (e.g. 4.00+) indicate an underdog — lower chance of winning, but a bigger return.
The house edge is the amount by which the combined implied probabilities of both sides in a match exceed 100%.
In live betting, odds shift quickly — they update in real time based on how the match is unfolding.
Odds reflect market expectations, not guaranteed outcomes — underdogs win too.

What Is a Value Bet?

A "value bet" is when you believe the odds offered by the platform are higher than a team's actual probability of winning. This concept is the theoretical foundation of betting strategy — though in practice, identifying genuine value accurately is very difficult.

How to Get Started

Esports Betting on 162 — Step by Step

If you're placing an e-sports bet for the first time, the whole process might feel a bit unfamiliar. The general steps are explained below.

Create an Account

Register at 162 and set up your account. Complete the registration process by following the instructions on the platform.

Go to the Esports Section

After logging in, go to the eSports betting section from the navigation menu. There you'll find a list of ongoing and upcoming tournaments.

Select a tournament and match

Pick a game you know or a tournament you follow. You'll see a list of upcoming matches along with their odds.

Choose Your Market and Set Your Stake

Choose which market to bet on (such as Match Winner or Map Winner). Set your stake amount within your budget.

Confirm Your Bet Slip

Review your selections and odds in the bet slip before confirming. Once you place the bet, it generally cannot be changed.

View results

Once a match ends, bets are settled based on the result and any winnings are credited to your account. Settlement times may vary depending on the platform's policy.

Tournament guide

Learn about major e-sports tournaments

Having some background on the tournament you're betting on before placing your bet makes it easier to make informed decisions.

Dota 2

The International (TI)

Global Annual 16–20 teams

The most prestigious tournament in Dota 2. Betting markets are available from the Group Stage through to the Grand Final.

CS2

CS2 Major Championship

Global 2 per year 24 Teams

The most prestigious event in the CS series. Organized by Valve, it brings together the world's top teams. Offers the widest variety of markets.

Valorant

Valorant Champions Tour (VCT)

Regional + Global Year-round Regional Leagues

Riot Games' official circuit. Betting opportunities run throughout the year, from the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific leagues all the way to the annual Champions tournament.

Live Betting

In-play betting — how does it work?

Live betting, or in-play betting, lets you place bets after a match has already started — so you can wager based on how the game is actually playing out.

Real-Time Odds Updates

In live betting, odds shift in real time. When a team pulls ahead, their odds shorten; the trailing team's odds lengthen. These rapid swings are what make live betting so compelling.

Map-Based Markets

In CS2 or Valorant, new markets open for each map after the previous one concludes. This creates multiple betting opportunities within a single series.

Pressure to Decide Quickly

Time is limited in live betting — odds shift fast. Rushing into decisions increases your risk. If something doesn't feel right, skip it — the next match will come.

Bet While You Watch

Live betting works best when you're watching the match stream. You can make decisions based on how the game is unfolding — though that also raises the risk of placing impulsive bets.

A Note on Live Betting

Live betting is even more exciting than standard pre-match betting — which can make it tempting to place bets faster and more frequently.
Before placing a live bet, set a separate personal limit for yourself.
If you lose on one match, it's best not to chase that loss by betting more on the next.
Depending on platform rules, live betting may not be available for certain matches.

Glossary Guide

Key eSports Betting Terms

The esports community uses a lot of specific terminology. Knowing these terms makes it much easier to understand betting markets.

Bo3 / Bo5 Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 — the first team to win 2 or 3 maps in the series takes the match.

Elo / MMR A ranking system that measures player skill. A higher Elo or MMR means a more skilled player.

Roster The current roster of players on an esports team. Roster changes can influence the odds.

LAN / Online In LAN events, players compete on-site in the same location; in online events, they play remotely. LAN events are generally considered more prestigious.

Patch A game update that alters balance. Team performance may shift following a new patch.

Underdog A less fancied or lower-profile team considered unlikely to win — reflected in higher odds.

Handicap A method of levelling the market by giving the weaker team an advantage. For example, giving a team a -1.5 Map Handicap.

Accumulator Combining bets on multiple matches into one — the payout is higher if all selections are correct, but one wrong pick loses the whole bet.

Void Bet If a match is cancelled or a bet is voided for a specific reason, the stake is generally refunded.

Overround The combined implied probability across all markets exceeds 100% — that gap is the source of the house edge.

Betting Knowledge

Make better decisions in esports betting

There's no formula for winning — but certain habits can make your betting more informed and enjoyable.

Why Knowing the Game Matters

Check the Team's Recent Form

Check how the team has performed in their last 5–10 matches. A team's form heading into a tournament tells you a lot.

Keep track of roster changes

A key player joining or leaving a team can significantly shift that team's strength.

Understand game patch updates

In Dota 2 or LoL, major patches often shift the meta — some teams' playstyles may become more effective under the new meta.

Analyze the Map Pool

In CS2 and Valorant, teams perform differently depending on the map. If a team has a weak map in their pool, that matters for the Map Winner market.

Betting habits — dos and don'ts

Focus on One Game

Rather than spreading your bets across every game, go deep on one or two. Informed decisions in familiar markets outperform guesswork in exotic ones.

Don't bet based on emotion

Emotional attachment to a favorite team or player can cloud your betting judgment — try to keep the two separate.

Keep Records

Keep a note of how much you bet on each match and what the outcome was. It helps you spot patterns in your own betting behavior.

Don't put your entire budget on a single bet

Split your budget into smaller portions. A single loss won't wipe out your entire bankroll.

Responsible Gaming

Enjoy betting — responsibly

162 believes betting is a form of entertainment, not a solution to financial problems.

Set a budget first

Before each betting session, decide how much you're willing to spend and stick to that limit. Once you've reached it, stop. Chasing losses by increasing your stakes is a dangerous pattern.

Stick to your time limits

Extended betting sessions reduce focus and increase the risk of impulsive decisions. Take regular breaks and set a daily time limit for yourself.

Use self-control tools

Many platforms offer the option to set deposit or session limits. Using these tools is a responsible step. For tools available at 162, Responsible Gaming View page.

Keep an entertainment mindset

Esports betting can be an enjoyable experience as long as you treat it as entertainment. If it starts to feel like a source of stress, take a break.
