Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a first-person shooter title developed by Valve, the corporation behind games platform Steam and popular esports title Dota 2. The game spawned from humble beginnings as a Half-Life mod in 1998, and is now one of the leading esports in the world today, attracting millions of dollars in prize money each year.

Before we get into the betting proper, it’s important to understand how match odds are written, as the formatting is concise but not necessarily intuitive. Let’s start with an example to make it clear.
Let’s suppose that Team A is playing against Team B in a match of Counter-Strike. A betting site is offering 3:1 odds. That means if you bet on Team B to win and they follow through, your bet will yield $3 for every $1 that you put down. That means a $50 bet turns into a $150 return. That’s pretty straightforward, right?
You can also use these odds to work out what your betting site reckons the chances are that a given outcome occurs. Let’s use the previous example once more, where Team A has 3:1 odds over Team B.
We sum 3 (Team A’s part) and 1 (Team B’s part), giving us a total of 4. We take the inverse of 4, meaning we divide one by that value. That’s 1 over 4, which is equal to 0.25; that means the bookie thinks that Team B has a 25% chance of winning.
If you believe that Team B has a much better shot, you could back the underdog and potentially make a tidy profit. Similarly, if you think Team A has an even greater chance than 75%, you could bet on the favourites to get a smaller, but relatively safe.
