Understanding Esports Betting Markets
New to esports betting? Here's a quick breakdown of the most common market types you'll encounter on the kudos8 platform, explained in plain English.
Match Winner (Moneyline)
The simplest bet: which team will win the match? Pick Team A or Team B. If your team wins, you win. This is the most popular market for esports betting in the Philippines, especially on Dota 2 and Mobile Legends matches.
Map/Game Handicap
Used in best-of-three or best-of-five series. A handicap is applied to balance odds when one team is heavily favored. For example, Team A at -1.5 maps means they must win by at least 2 maps for your bet to pay. Team B at +1.5 means they can lose the series 2–1 and you still win your bet.
Total Kills / Total Rounds (Over/Under)
The bookmaker sets a line (e.g., 45.5 total kills in a Dota 2 match). You bet whether the actual total will be Over or Under that number. Perfect for bettors who follow team playstyles — aggressive teams tend to produce high-kill games, while defensive teams play lower-scoring matches.
First Blood / First Tower / First Dragon
Popular in MOBA games like Dota 2 and League of Legends. Bet on which team scores the first kill, destroys the first tower, or secures the first major objective. These markets settle within the first 10–15 minutes of the game, offering quick action.
Correct Score (Exact Map Count)
In a best-of-three series, you predict the exact final score: 2–0, 2–1, or 1–2. Higher risk, higher reward. This market is favored by experienced bettors who study head-to-head records and recent form closely.
Outright Winner (Tournament Winner)
Bet on which team will win the entire tournament before it even starts. This is a long-term bet — your wager is locked until the tournament concludes. Popular for The International, Worlds, and M-Series events. Big potential payouts if you correctly predict an underdog run.
Bet Smart, Bet Responsibly
Esports betting at kudos8 is meant to enhance your viewing experience, not replace it. We strongly encourage all players to bet within their means and never wager money they cannot afford to lose.
