id=\"Dota_2_Betting_Basics\"><\/span>Dota 2 Betting Basics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before getting into the nitty-gritty of betting, it\u2019s important to have an understanding of the Dota 2 gameplay and the character types. If you don\u2019t understand how the game is played, you can\u2019t make an educated bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay\"><\/span>Gameplay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena game, otherwise known as a MOBA.<\/p>\n<p>Very similar to titles like <a href=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/en\/how-to-bet-on-league-of-legends\/\">League of Legends<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/en\/how-to-bet-on-counter-strike-global-offensive\/\">CS:GO<\/a>, two teams are fighting to complete certain objectives before their opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Teams are comprised of 5 players, with each competitor playing as one of the 119 unique character classes, or \u201cheroes\u201d as they are referred to in the game.<\/p>\n<p>The match begins with each team starting on opposite sides of the arena. The primary objective is to be the first team to destroy a large structure known as the \u201cAncient\u201d \u2014 which is fortified in the opposing team&#8217;s base.<\/p>\n<p>There are all sorts of different paths (or \u201clanes\u201d as they are referred to in the game) to reach the opponent\u2019s base. Along the way, the players aim to complete neutral objectives and kill NPC\u2019s (non-player characters) to gain experience points and precious resources used to make their hero stronger.<\/p>\n<p>When one of the teams is confident enough in their hero\u2019s abilities, they will make a push for the other teams \u201cAncient\u201d. If successful in their efforts, and can destroy the opposing \u201cAncient\u201d, then the game is over.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dota_2_character_types\"><\/span>Dota 2 character types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Part of what makes Dota 2 so popular is the diversity in character types. There are 119 different heroes to choose from, each with their own unique abilities.<\/p>\n<p>The varying hero abilities are reflective of their specific role.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the role of a hero with very high defensive attributes could serve as bait for the opposing team \u2014 almost like a meat shield. While the opposing team is busy dealing with the hero who just stormed the gates, you could have another hero playing the role of a sniper, safely laying down devastating blows from afar.<\/p>\n<p>With 119 hero classes and 5 different heroes on each team, there are an insane amount of combinations. This also means that there is a lot of different strategies that teams can explore.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Bets_in_Dota_2\"><\/span>Types of Bets in Dota 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One reason why online betting on Dota 2 is so popular in Africa is because there are so many different options to bet on \u2014 and Parimatch has all of them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moneyline_bets\"><\/span>Moneyline bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You may already be familiar with this traditional bet type \u2014 it\u2019s the grandfather of all bets. You are simply picking which team you think is going to win. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s what a moneyline bet looks like on Parimatch:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/cybersport\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=esports_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-bet-on-dota-2\"><i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1060 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vikin.gg-vs-Live-to-Win-in-Dota-2-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Vikin.gg vs Live to Win in Dota 2 esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"646\" height=\"92\" \/><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By default, Parimatch uses decimal odds, but on our mobile betting app you have the option to view odds in fractional or American format.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Handicap_betting_on_Dota_2\"><\/span>Handicap betting on Dota 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Handicap betting is similar to moneyline betting, only the bookmaker applies a virtual advantage\/disadvantage to the teams before the match begins. The odds will be skewed to reflect the advantage\/disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what a handicap line looks like on Parimatch:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/cybersport\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=esports_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-bet-on-dota-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1061 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Vikin.gg-vs-Live-to-Win-in-handicap-Dota-2-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Vikin.gg vs Live to Win in handicap Dota 2 esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"651\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This is the same matchup as the previous example. Take notice of how the odds change when a handicap is applied.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Dota 2, a handicap is applied in the form of a map lead before the match starts. So in a \u201cbest of 5\u201d match, <i>Live to Win<\/i> is up by 1.5 rounds before the competition even kicks off.<\/p>\n<p>Say you picked <i>Vikin.gg<\/i> to win. For your bet to pay out, they would have to win the match by at least 2 rounds in the \u201cbest of 5\u201d round match.<\/p>\n<p>If <i>Viking.gg<\/i> won the match by a score of 3 rounds to 0, your bet would pay out because they won by more than 1.5 rounds.<\/p>\n<p>If they won the match by a score of 3 rounds to 2, the bet would not pay out because they only won the match by 1 round.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Totals_bets_on_Dota_2\"><\/span>Totals bets on Dota 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a totals market, you are being asked to predict if you think \u201csomething\u201d will happen more or less (over\/under) than the number the bookmaker presents. In Dota 2 that \u201csomething\u201d is maps needed to be played for a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, Dota 2 matches are played in a \u201cbest of\u201d format. So, in a Dota 2 totals market, you are essentially wagering on how long you think the match will last.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example from the Parimatch online sportsbook:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/cybersport\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=esports_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-bet-on-dota-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1062 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Total-bets-in-Dota-2-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Total bets in Dota 2 esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"640\" height=\"112\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p>This example is from a \u201cbest of 3\u201d maps style format. You have to decide if you believe the match will be over after 2 maps or, if you think the teams will split the first 2 maps, in a necessary and decisive 3rd map. Once you\u2019ve made that prediction, you\u2019ve got your bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Betting_on_firsts_in_Dota_2\"><\/span>Betting on firsts in Dota 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most popular Dota 2 bets is betting on firsts. This means you have to predict which of the teams will achieve \u201csomething\u201d first.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on the Parimatch online sportsbook, you have the option to bet on which team you think will get the first kill (first blood). If you don\u2019t fancy that line, you could bet on which team you think will capture the first tower or which team you think will destroy the first barracks.<\/p>\n<p>Here are all the firsts you can bet on Dota 2:<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"\/en\/cybersport\/prematch\/1?utm_source=tz_blog&amp;utm_medium=esports_prematch&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-bet-on-dota-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
