How to Easily Predict CSGO Matches and Tournaments in 3 Steps

Disclaimer: the strategies used in this guide are for informational purposes only. We do not promise rainbows and unicorns.

If you’re like most of us then you have searched for CSGO betting predictions on more than one occasion.

What you found was a bunch of tipsters and promises, but not a lot of tangible information that you can trust.

Trust me, this happens all the time.

CSGO is one of the most competitive games in eSports. Right now, there are more than 2,000 tournaments in a year, with a total of 4,500 professional players.

And that can be overwhelming.

Hence, many of us have, at one point, decided to take a shortcut and follow someone else’s tips instead of spending time analyzing the matches ourselves.

Don’t get me wrong, there are good tipsters out there. But in my own experience, there are also a lot of scammers.

But what if you could do it yourself? Read more

9 Craziest Winning Odds We Saw at IEM Oakland (Worth 5 Million!)

Another day, another exciting tournament wrapped up. Simply put, IEM Oakland 2016 was a blast.

IEM Oakland 2016 — Complete Statistical Breakdown

With IEM Oakland around the corner (November 16-20), I wanted to do a bit of research and give you guys a complete breakdown of the current form of our favorite CSGO teams.

When it comes to picking the right platform for CSGO betting, trust is the key.

It’s easy to risk $150 gambling on skins when all the website has is your Steam inventory.

How to Prepare Your CSGO Bets (Top 4 Prep Websites)

What would betting be without good old statistics?

Whether you have been betting on CSGO from the early days or you switched over from regular sports betting there is only one true way of preparing a bet — through statistics.

Now, I am not taking intuition out of the equation. We all know how important sixth sense is when it comes to eSports, but in a market as volatile as this, it would be better to just burn your money straight away than to place a bet only if you have a hunch that one team will win.

Because, let’s face it, not even the bookies yet have a good way of predicting a match winner. So, how can we? Read more
