How esports betting runs at Megapari
Esports grows faster than anything else on the book. CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege account for roughly 95% of the handle.
Pre-match opens 24 to 48 hours before a series with match winner, map handicap at -1.5 and +1.5 in a BO3 or -2.5 and +2.5 in a BO5, correct map score, total maps, total rounds and first map winner. The map handicap is the esports equivalent of a tennis set handicap, and it misprices for the same reason: a series that looks close on paper often is not close once a side takes the first map and the momentum with it.
In-play reprices every round in CS2 and every draft phase in Dota 2 and League. Round handicap and pistol round winner carry the most live volume on Counter-Strike.
