FIFA Betting Guide 2024

How to bet on FIFA eSports

FIFA eSports betting has its own specifics. Lineup of cyber football in bookmakers is inferior to traditional sports. This is especially true for pre-match bets, but is partially offset by a wide lineup in Live. For example, a pre-match bets include stakes on the outcome, double chance, individual and general totals and handicap. In live, the choice of bets increases. During the meeting, clients have access to bets on the exact score, bets on which team will score the next goal, and on the outcome in one favor or another with a high or low total.

For this reason, live bets will be much more rewarding and less risky, as there is less chance of a comeback in e-football, which plays in favor of the teams that score first. To be successful at eSports betting, you need to play FIFA on your own. Only in this case you will be able to notice the nuances that are important for the bet: who plays the ball first, who cannot realize one hundred percent chances, who is more nervous. Watch online broadcasts carefully. If you don’t play FIFA on your own and watch the competition online, you will have to be content with rare, random successes.

Here are some other FIFA betting tips:

• Do your pre-match analysis. The version of the game, the lineups and the current form of the eSportsmen all affect the result.

• In a computer simulation match, take into account the theory of probability and mathematical rules, since the outcome of the meeting is determined by an algorithm based on a random number generator.

• Note possible bugs and errors in the simulator software. For example, in FIFA 19, the kick-off bug was repeatedly triggered: after a conceded ball, the team playing the ball from the center of the field, with a high degree of probability, immediately scored a return goal.

• Stick to your chosen strategy. If the bids for the meeting are deliberate and based on accurate calculation, do not deviate from the plan. Persistence is more likely to yield results than random attempts to guess the event.

• Take your time to bet large sums if you have no experience in betting on e-football events. Allocate for the bank the amount of money that you are not afraid to lose due to an unsuccessful bet.

• Don’t bet on favorites in the pre-match. ESports football is highly competitive. Oftentimes, even established leaders fail.

• For this reason, any big bets on the tops, even with low odds, would be too risky.

FIFA eSports Events

Cyber ​​football is distinguished by a huge number of competitions held at the level of individual countries and even geographic regions, but there is a series of tournaments of a global scale in the world, participation in which is a huge achievement for players.

Today, there are three main groups of tournaments, differing from each other by the organizing companies.

• ESL (European Esports League). Combines all eSports in Europe. The league hosts various FIFA tournaments on a periodic basis. It is one of the most respected eChampions League. It is held every year, bringing together 64 players participating in a long-term tournament, which has a competition structure similar to the real Champions League. The prize fund of the tournament was almost 300 thousand dollars in 2019.

• FIWC. The eSports World Cup held under the auspices of a real FIFA with an appropriate level of organization and a prize pool of several hundred thousand dollars. It also provides for a pre-selection system. EA runs some of the tournaments on its own. For example, the FUT Champions Series and the FIFA eWorld Cup. Other major competitions are held jointly with partners. EA is hosting the eChampions League in partnership with UEFA and alongside the real Champions League. The same situation is with the FIFA eNations Cup and FIFA eClub World Cup (with FIFA).

EA often hosts small tournaments with various sponsors, inviting top rated eSports players. Many competitions are held in collaboration with professional football leagues such as the Premier League and Ligue 1. Singles tournaments are held in many countries. They are not approved by EA, but the company allows non-commercial FIFA tournaments to be held without EA’s knowledge.

FUT Champions Cup

EA Sports is hosting the FUT Champions Series. These tournaments are the main events in the EA Sports FIFA 20 Global Series and are considered qualifiers for the FIFA eWorld Cup Main Event. The series consists of 6 tournaments in total. Each of them includes 32 players who have passed the online selection. Also, each of these tournaments has 4 seats reserved on Xbox and PlayStation for the players with the best performing in the previous FUT Champions Cup. Players will earn substantial prize money (from $ 500 to $ 50,000) as well as Ranking Points for their performance in FUT Champions. Based on the results of 6 played tournaments, the 16 players with the most points automatically enter the FIFA eWorld Cup. Additional 16 players are selected for the FIFA eWorld Cup via online qualifiers.

FIFA eWorld Cup

The top 16 players of the season and 16 online qualifiers compete for the title of World Cyber ​​Football Player of the FIFA eWorld Cup. The tournament is held in LAN format at the eSports arena. The last FIFA eWorld Cup was held in London.

Players play matches on both platforms (PS and Xbox One). In the final, two matches are played (one on each platform), and a champion is determined based on their results. The last winner of the FIFA eWorld Cup was the German Mohamed “MoAuba” Harkus. He received a trophy, $ 250,000 and an invitation to The Best FIFA Football Awards.

FIFA eSports Leagues

ESL is the most recognized eSports brand in the world. It is a world-class leader in a wide variety of games, with a huge amount of online and offline competitions, from amateur tournaments to global stadium-packed events such as ESL One and Intel Extreme Masters. FIFA eSports Leagues include matches involving clubs from the championships of England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Russia, Portugal, the Netherlands and Ukraine. ESL is one of the oldest eSports organizations hosting FIFA tournaments.

FIFA Betting Odds

It should be understood that FIFA betting odds, as well as for other computer disciplines, are set in such a way that the advantage is always on the side of the bookmaker. Making money with simple strategies such as flat is impossible here because of the negative mathematical expectation for the player.

Therefore, you need to use more complex techniques or combinations of simple financial strategies.

Best Professional FIFA Players

The guys whose names are heard by all fans of cyber football are Tekkz, Msdossary, Gorilla, MoAuba, Megabit and many others. Donovan “Tekkz” Hunt is one of the most famous Fifer. A 17-year-old player from England has devoted more than 12 years of his life to virtual football and only got on the professional scene in 2017. He is one of the most titled cyber football players in the world, with more than 15 different trophies to his credit.

Msdossary is only 18 years old and already the FIFA World Champion, MoAuba will turn 24, but he also won the world championship and also became the best player in Germany for 5 years in a row.
