Question 4

What is an esports point spread?

Accepted Answer

When betting on the point spread in an eSports match you will usually see two different options, “Match” spread betting and “Map” spread betting.
Match spread betting will be related to number of maps won.
Map spread betting is all about the number of kills by each team on that specific map. Both Map and Match spread betting work the same way, however depending on the eSport different options might be available for wagering.
A spread bet is where you select a team to either win by more than a set number of maps/kills (the favorite), or for the other team to either win, or not lose by more than that set number of maps/kills (the underdog).
This is very similar to spread betting in Tennis.

What are esports parlays?

Accepted Answer

Regular sports parlays and esports parlays serve the same function. You are “parlaying” two or more bets against each other for higher odds. As always, there is a catch to these higher odds - every single bet you make in a parlay has to hit for any payout to occur.
