CS: GO Betting at VulkanBet

Did you know that Counter-Strike (CS) was developed by a player as a mode of Half-Life game, and when it became very popular, that player was hired by Valve? The “Global Offensive” (CS: GO) version of the game was released as a standalone title in 2012, and it quickly became the most popular competitive shooter of all time. If you are really new, here is  the summary of this PC game, and what it is about: 

  • CS: GO is classified as a “multiplayer first-person shooter”. There are two teams, Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists. 
  • Each team has 5 players, and they compete in different game modes in different games. Usually, the goal is to secure a place to plant/defuse a bomb or rescue hostages. One team tries to do this; the other team tries to prevent them. 
  • CSGO is played in rounds, and the winning team is determined by the points achieved at the end of the rounds.
  • CSGO is the most popular esports out there: its tournaments can award as high as 1,000,000 USD.

And, as can be expected, CSGO betting is quite popular too. Tens of thousands of bettors around the world participate in CS GO betting for all kinds of matches and events. You can be one of these bettors right now. If you are new to e-sports betting, CSGO is one of the best games you can pick, due to its familiar concept and rules. Below, you can find everything you need to know to place your first CSGO bet at  VulkanBet.

How to Bet on CS: GO Matches

In terms of bet types, there is no significant difference between CSGO bets and other sports. Yes, it's a computer game, but its rules and gameplay are like any other sport. The teams compete in rounds, and at the end of the round, the team with the most points wins the match. In a way, we can say that it resembles basketball games - almost the same logic is used. 

For the same reason, you can guess for which outcomes you can place a CS GO bet. You can bet on the result of a match or round, try your luck on the total of points, or try to predict what the individual score of a particular player will be. Betting options that apply to all point-based sports also apply to betting on CSGO. Below, we list and briefly explain some of the most common types of these bets. You can find them all and much more on our site.

  • Outrights: This is the straight bet of CSGO – you are betting on which team will win the match/tournament. 
  • Player with Most Kills: As the name implies, this bet is about which player will have the most kills. 
  • Round/Map Totals: This is similar to the over/under bets in regular sports. You are betting on how many maps/rounds will change before the match ends. On average, this number is somewhere between 22 and 30. Here is a simple example: Team A Over 15.5 (1.643) – Under 15.5 (2.086)  
 

Team A 

Team B

Over 15.5

1.643

1.864

Under 15.5

2.086

1.987

 

If you place an “over” bet for Team A, you are saying that “Team A will win this match after 15 rounds”. Or, you can place an “under” bet and say that “Team A will win this match before 15 rounds). 

  • Knife Round Winner: Most of the tournaments start with a “knife-only” round. This means the only weapon that teams can use is a knife. This is harder than you think: in order to kill a rival, you need to get very close. This bet is about which team/player will win this round. 
  • Team to Win Both Pistol Rounds: Just like the knife round, there is a “pistol-only” round too. You are betting on which team will win this round. 

How to Win CS: GO Bets

We can give you a couple of tips to increase your winning chances & boost your winnings in online betting CSGO: 

  • Play this game yourself. Unlike other sports, all you need is an internet connection. You can start playing CSGO in an hour or so, it is that easy. And even if you are bad at computer games, don’t worry: we are not asking you to play competitively. We are asking you to play because you need to learn the jargon and the maps. When someone says “corridor in Dust”, you need to know what it is and where it is. In short, you need to know the game as much as a professional player.
  • CSGO teams participate in local events and practice throughout the year before participating in major tournaments. It is possible to say that they play almost the whole year without taking a break. By following these small-scale tournaments, you can get very important information about team performances and learn the strengths and weaknesses of team members. Use this information to make more accurate predictions.
  • Follow the private lives of the players. CSGO players actively use social media and share almost every moment of their lives. Follow their accounts and be aware of the developments in their private lives. If a star player breaks up with his girlfriend the day before the match, you should know - his performance will naturally be lower, and this may affect the whole tournament.
