Value Betting in Esports

Value Betting in Esports

Many of you asked for this one, so here it is. Esports markets move for different reasons than football or tennis markets. A player swap or a game update can change a team’s chances overnight. Soft books do not always update their prices at the same speed. That gap is where an edge tends to […]
