Introduction to the strategy
The speaker introduces an eSports betting strategy for CS:GO, claiming it can yield positive results if refined.
[00:40]

Betting on map picks in BO3
In BO3 matches (best of three maps), each team picks a map. The strategy is to bet on a team winning its own pick, as teams have a higher probability of winning maps they choose.
[02:19]
Example match: Avangard vs. Chaus
The match shows Chaus picking Overpass and winning 16-10, while Avangard picked Mirage but lost. This illustrates the strategy of betting on the team's pick.
[03:37]
Timing and selection criteria
Bets should be placed live, ten minutes before the match starts. The speaker advises betting on the favorite and specifically on the map they pick. Select matches with roughly equal teams to increase the chance of the team winning its pick.
[04:51]
Risk and conclusion
Not all teams win their picks; matches can go to three maps. The strategy works best when teams are balanced. The speaker suggests trying the approach but notes limited match availability.
The betting strategy relies on the statistical tendency of teams to win their own map picks in evenly matched BO3 series. While not foolproof, it offers a structured approach to eSports betting on CS:GO.

[00:40] now I'll show you everything if such a site is called High Loft in Ark, I'll leave all the links is called High Loft in Ark, I'll leave all the links in the description,
[00:52] there are all the statistics for each match here, and we'll bet on winning on the and we'll bet on winning on the map, and we'll bet when our
[01:04] match is a bo3, that is, up to two wins out of three on the maps, so guys,
[01:18] well, whoever doesn't know what to do, I'm saying, and to play bo3, each team chooses, that is, picks, chooses the map on which it will play and which it
[01:31] it will play and which it emphasizes, and in the end, one team and the other team removes another map,
[01:45] probability that the team will take its map, well, percent there under the table because it chooses so that the other team plays well, it's
[01:57] team plays well, it's pretty good, here's an example for you I'll pretty good, here's an example for you I'll show you right now, the show you right now, the match is going on, Avangard is playing against Chau, he's hiding right now, they
[02:19] that is, in response, Chau jumped with a score of 2:1, they hid Chau jumped with a score of 2:1, they hid all three cards, whoever wins two cards wins the game overall, so that leads to
[02:37] game overall, so that leads to statistics, there are no statistics like this anymore, there is no such thing as Yavi statistics now, I'll show you, the live is going on for an hour, now, I'll show you, the live is going on for an hour, we donkey is not there, well, you
[02:53] we donkey is not there, well, you can see by the cards, that is, Chaus kicked Vertig better, Avangard whispered Yug, there Chaus drink, picked Overpass, that is, he chose the Overpass card,
[03:07] Overpass card, Avangard picked Mirage, then Chaus teaches inside Avangard with 2 and again became a boarding school guys, we have an hour, we chose the Overpass card, and an hour on this
[03:23] chose the Overpass card, and an hour on this card, he won 1610, Avangard chose Mirage, and he, like Piquet Mirage, and he also did not win, that is, this strategy is to bet
[03:37] live when the match starts there. when the match starts there. This team is baking before the match starts, this doesn't happen, everything happens again ten minutes before the start and you need to bet right away.
[03:52] start and you need to bet right away. You can place your bets right away where the bets are, let's say a win of 1 on his picks and wins of 2 on him, nothing, but I don't
[04:06] advise you to do that. It's better to choose the favorite and which card the favorite will choose, just and which card the favorite will choose, just on this and bet. Well, then see for yourself. You can test it, try to go here and there
[04:24] because some marks end at 20, that is, they often play three cards, but sometimes they don't end at 20, that is, the team doesn't take its pick, that is,
[04:36] special ones, we'll see the result, this even exists, that is, the match ended at 20,
[04:51] exists, that is, the match ended at 20, it was three, everything, and therefore you need to choose a boy where approximately equal teams are playing. What do you want to bet on? The teams are playing. What do you want to bet on? The first win, 2 in their picks, everything was one, just now
[05:08] first win, 2 in their picks, everything was one, just now ours closed at 21, that's ours closed at 21, that's 21, so the strategies are basically not bad, but there are
[05:20] 21, so the strategies are basically not bad, but there are n't many in the line for the match, but still, try it. Bet everything. n't many in the line for the match, but still, try it. Bet everything.
