What's New in Sports Betting  - EPH Brothers

Sports betting is an ever evolving world where innovation is accelerated by technology and live streaming of sporting events all around the world.  

Esports Betting

Esports betting involves placing wagers on competitive video gaming tournaments and matches. Esports Bettors will place bets on different aspects of an Esport event like team victories, individual player performances, or specific in-game events. The rapidly growing industry encompasses popular video game titles like League of Legends, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.


Just like traditional sports betting, Esports betting has bookmakers that calculate the odds of different bets. Esports odds are offered by most major betting platforms who offer diverse betting markets, live streaming, and real-time update. Esports betting creates an engaging experience for fans and enthusiasts seeking to add an extra layer of excitement to esports competitions.


Game-Specific Betting Strategies: Esports betting requires a similar approach to traditional sports betting. Successful Esports Bettors know the games, understand the meta, and monitor player rosters. They analyze team dynamics, recent performances, and player stats and their impact on informed bets.

Live Streaming and Betting Synergy

Esports are often live streamed and streaming platforms like Twitch have become the go-to spot for watching matches. Successful Esports bettors watch the games, analyzing relevant team and player performance data and use that live information to place in-play bets. 
 

In-Play Betting Innovations

In-play betting or live betting, is predicting outcomes during the action responding to shifting lines and changing opportunities as the game goes on.

  1. Dynamic Odds and Instant Wagers: In-play betting looks at constantly adjusting odds on events like the next team to score, the player with the next touchdown, or the outcome of the next corner kick. As games go on, instant wagers can be placed on constantly changing odds as opposed to conventional bets which are placed before the start of the game.


  2. Cash-Out Options for Tactical Retreats: Sometimes Sports Bettors will place a wager and immediately regret it. In-play betting platforms offer cash-out options, allowing Sports Bettors to lock in a profit or minimize losses before the game ends. Like a tactical retreat, it allows for greater control of your bankroll and greater control over bets.


  3. Multisport In-Play Adventures: Some successful Sports Bettors will juggle multiple in-play bets across different sports. Many betting platforms now offer multisport in-play options, allowing for diversified real time bets. 
     

New Types of Bets: Beyond the Basics

While classic bet types like moneyline and point spreads are timeless, the world of sports betting is constantly evolving with innovative bet types to increase engagement and excitement for Sports Bettors around the world.

  1. Player Props for Personal Performances: Player prop bets have gained immense popularity in all sports, allowing Sports Bettors to wager on specific player performances. Will LeBron James score over 25 points? Will Messi find the back of the net? Player props are like having a personalized stake in your favorite player's success.


  2. Same-Game Parlays for Variety:  Same-game parlays combine different bets within a single game adding variety to your betting portfolio.


  3. Future Bets for Long-Term Thrills: Future bets allow Sports Bettors to predict outcomes that won't be settled until much later. From predicting the Super Bowl winner to the next World Cup champion, future bets are a common bet for fans of a particular team. 
     

Tips for Intermediate Bettors: Navigating the Trends

Here are some tips for the successful Sports Bettor to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of betting:

  1. Embrace the Learning Curve: New trends in betting like Esports, in-play betting, or new bet types might seem overwhelming at first, but embracing the learning curve is key to becoming a successful Sports Bettor. They take the time to understand the games, explore in-play betting features, and experiment with different bet types.


  2. Mix and Match Your Betting Styles: Successful Sports Bettors don't stick to one style of betting, they mix and match traditional bets with new types of bets allowing for new kinds of a wider variety of bets and new strategic opportunities.


  3. Use Technology to Your Advantage: A successful Sports Bettor will use sports betting apps, analytics tools, and data driven products like EPHbrothers.com. The more information you have at your fingertips, the more informed your Sports Betting decisions will be.
