eSports Betting Tipster – Full Review
If you had said a few years ago that you would have stadiums full of people watching people play computer games, you would have been laughed at.
Fast forward to today and amazingly, that has become a reality. eSports – or in other words competitive sports video games – has become big business. This year it is estimated to be worth $700m and by 2020 it is forecast to be worth $1.5bn, quite astonishing sums.
Perhaps just as astonishing is the fact that you can now bet on eSports as well. Yes – the bookies offer markets on it and there are even tipsters offering tips on it.
So we decided to take a look at our first eSports service in the form the eSports Betting Tipster.
Unfortunately though after a strong start and going over 40 points up at one stage, we ended up 28 points down in the end for the trial.
That represented a 28% loss of the bank and represented a negative return on investment of -9%, so all in all it was a disappointing review.
As you can see from the graph below, things were going well up until around the half-way point, at which they took a decided downturn and ended up in loss.
In these circumstances we feel we have no choice but to give the eSports Betting Tipster a FAILED rating based on the results of our trial.
If things turn around and they start generating a profit then there would always be scope to revise our findings, but for the moment it is not a service we will be adding to the portfolio.
Service Breakdown
Ease of use: There are an average of just one bet per day, so a very easy service to follow.
Availability of prices: Not all the bookies offer odds on the matches in question but there are generally a few (e.g. Bet365, Sky Bet, William Hill) so you should be able to get the bets on at the advised prices or close to them.
Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 28%, which was a little below the long-term average of 33%.
Advised Betting Bank: A 100 point bank is advised for following the service, but we think given some of the drawdowns experienced and high staking, a 150 point bank might be advisable.
Subscription costs: The subscription costs are very reasonable at £1 for the first 10 days then £20 per month, £50 per quarter or £180 per year.
OVERALL VERDICT: FAILED
eSports is an increasingly popular form of entertainment and you can now even bet on live events.
The eSports Betting Tipster is the first service we have reviewed in this new field but unfortunately the trial finished with a loss of 28 points.
On that basis and have lost over a quarter of the bank, it is a FAILED rating from us, but as ever if things dramatically improved we would always be prepared to take another look.

eSports Betting Tipster – Results Update
30th June 2018
Unfortunately there’s been quite a drop in performance for the eSports Betting Tipster lately, with 59 points lost since our last update a month ago.
That means they are now 27 points down for the trial overall.
You can view full results here.
The recent drawdown is a shame because things had been going so well, but that is gambling for you really – it can be very unpredictable.
Let’s hope that was just a blip and they get back to winning ways shortly.

eSports Betting Tipster – Results Update
31st May 2018
The e-Sports Betting Tipster continues to deliver the goods, with another 13 points profit made since our last update.
That puts them 32 points up for our trial overall.
You can view full results here.
Staking is quite variable with this one, with everything from 1 to 10 points being advised per bet.
So making sure you have a sufficient bank to cover the staking is important. They recommend a 100 point bank when following the service but we think you could actually go to a 150 point bank here to be on the safe side.

eSports Betting Tipster – Results Update
3rd May 2018
It’s been a good start to our trial of the eSports Betting Tipster, with 19 points profit made to advised prices after just under a month.
You can view full results here.
We had been wondering how easy the service would be to follow as we are now to betting on eSports (and eSports in general), but we haven’t had any issue so far really.
Not all the bookies offer odds on the matches in question but there are generally a few (e.g. Bet365, Sky Bet, William Hill) so you should be able to get the bets on. And the tips come with the recommended bookie to use as well.
So really whilst you may know nothing about the action you are betting on, it shouldn’t stop you from making a profit from following this service.

eSports Betting Tipster – New Review
7th April 2018
If you had said a few years ago that you would have stadiums full of people watching people play computer games, you would have been laughed at.
Fast forward to today and amazingly, that has become a reality. eSports – or in other words competitive sports video games – has become big business. This year it is estimated to be worth $700m and by 2020 it is forecast to be worth $1.5bn, quite astonishing sums.
Perhaps just as astonishing is the fact that you can now bet on eSports as well. Yes – the bookies offer markets on it and there are even tipsters offering tips on it.
So enter our next tipster to be reviewed, the aptly-named eSports Betting Tipster.
Competitive odds and tips sent every morning in tournaments such as League of Legends, Overwatch, Dota 2 and CS:GO.
The tipster’s record is very impressive, with over 180 points profit made since starting tipping in November 2017. That equates to over £1,800 at just £10 stakes and means the betting bank has been nearly trebled in that time.
The return on investment is excellent too at over 40% and the strike rate has been solid at 35%.
It will be interesting to see how this all works in practice and it will be something of a learning experience for us too.
We will run our standard three month trial and will report back soon on how things are going.
In the meantime you can check out the eSports Betting Tipster here.
