What can I bet on Overwatch?

 

Betting on the winner of the meeting is the easiest option. More often than not, the favorites win and the underdogs lose. Therefore, it is worth considering other options: betting on the spread, the round advantage or the winner of the whole season.

In Overwatch League matches, teams play 4 cards. To win, you need to win on 3 of them. The number of all wins and losses can affect a team's passage to the playoff stage, so even if the score is 3-0, the game continues. If the final score is 2-2, teams play an extra card to determine the winner.

With this format, the maximum winning score can be 4-0. Let's take for example a match with the following odds: London Spitfire (1.10) vs. New York Excelsior (6.00). The team from London is the obvious favorite, so it is doubtful that the team from New York can win the meeting.

But that does not mean that New York Excelsior can not surprise the audience at all. If the bookmaker gives the opportunity to bet on the spread, then it is definitely worth checking them out. Let's go back to the confrontation London Spitfire -2.5 (1.95) vs. New York Excelsior 2.5 (1.83). If you bet on the team from London, you can earn if they win the match with a score of 4-0. Making a profit with a bet on the New York squad is possible if they win at least one card. Even with a loss of 1:3 the bet will still play, as the opponents will win only thanks to 2 cards.

In addition to betting on the result of the match or on the spread, betting on the outcome of future tournaments is popular. You can choose the team that will make it to the Overwatch League playoffs, become the winner of the result or win the World Championship at BlizzCon. The odds on such bets are constantly changing throughout the year, depending on the performance of the squad.

Sometimes there are bets on specific results during a match. But due to the fact that the Overwatch pro scene is still young, such bets are underdeveloped.
