Wagering on esports is a growing trend throughout Czechia. Licensed online sportsbooks and international foreign websites offer betting opportunities on teams, players, tournaments, and matches. For those familiar with the popular players, information is king in betting. High-profile tournaments draw enthusiasts from across the globe, including the Czech Republic. Although esports betting in Czechia is new, the market is growing.
Bettors hope for favorable odds. Esports provides an opportunity to wager in a number of ways, including decimal, fractional, and American. For players, decimal odds betting is calculated by multiplying by a decimal number. For example, a bettor wagers $10 and wins $15 for odds, which are 1.50. Fractional wagering is different; a bettor wins $30 for a $10 winning gamble on 3/1 odds. American odds offer favorited teams a minus and underdogs a plus sign, determining the amount of profit on a wager of $100 or more. For experienced gamblers, betting on the odds is the best way to make substantial sums of money.
With more than 26 teams and more than 70 top players, Czech's are experiencing growing enthusiasm in the esports market.
