Whichever team is able to destroy the opponent\u2019s nexus wins the round. The <i>LoL<\/i> bet handicap represents which team has a round lead before the match even starts, and the odds are skewed accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look:<\/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-league-of-legends\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-920 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/GamersOrigin-vs-Misfits-Premier-in-handicap-LoL-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"GamersOrigin vs Misfits Premier in handicap LoL esports betting on Parimatch\u00a0\u00a0\" width=\"651\" height=\"163\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you know, <i>GamersOrigin<\/i> is the favourite in this match but look at what happens when a negative handicap is applied. The odds go way up, indicating that with a (-1.5) handicap, they\u2019ll need to score at least two more points to overcome the handicap.<\/p>\n<p>If you bet on <i>GamersOrigin<\/i> to win with a (-1.5) handicap in a best of 3 round match, they would have to win by a margin of at least 1.5 rounds \u2014 in other words, they would need to win the best of 3 matches by a score of 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>If the teams split the first 2 rounds, and <i>GamersOrigin<\/i> went on to win the match by a score of 2-1, they would not have won by at least 1.5 rounds \u2014 meaning even though you picked the right winner, they were unable to cover the spread, resulting in a losing bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Total_League_of_Legends_bets\"><\/span>Total <i>League of Legends<\/i> bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a total <i>LoL<\/i> betting market, you are essentially wagering on how many rounds you think will need to be played in order for there to be a victor.<\/p>\n<p>To be more precise, you compare the number of rounds you think will be needed for an outcome against the number that the bookmaker comes up with.<\/p>\n<p>If the number you came up with is higher than the bookmakers you would want to bet on the over and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at an example from <i>League of Legends<\/i> betting on Parimatch:<i>\u00a0<\/i><\/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-league-of-legends\"><i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-921 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Total-in-LoL-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Total in LoL esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"651\" height=\"116\" \/><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This example is based on a best of 5 round match. The bookmaker has set the total at 4.5 rounds which is an impossible outcome because the round will always come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>This is done on purpose so that there will never be a push. The outcome will always be over or under the figure set forth by the bookmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself, do you think the match will come down to a necessary and decisive round 5 or do you believe that one of the teams will win the match in 4 rounds or less?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Race_to_5_or_10_bets\"><\/span>Race to 5 or 10 bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you place an <i>LoL<\/i> bet in a race to 5 or 10 market, you are betting on which team you think will be the first to win either 5 or 10 rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Typically the odds in a race to 5 or 10 <i>LoL<\/i> betting market will be very similar to the moneyline odds. That\u2019s because, typically, the first team to reach 5 or 10 round wins is also the favourite team to win the match.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look:<\/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-league-of-legends\"><i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-922 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Race-to-10-bet-in-League-of-Legends-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Race to 10 bet in League of Legends esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"638\" height=\"200\" \/><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here you can see that both the moneyline odds as well as the race to 10 <i>League of Legends<\/i> betting odds. Take notice of how similar the odds are.<\/p>\n<p>Since <i>GamersOrigin<\/i> is the favourite to win it\u2019s no surprise they are also the favourite to be the first to 10 rounds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Total_kills_LoL_bets\"><\/span>Total kills <i>LoL<\/i> bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to bet money on <i>League of Legends<\/i>, you should consider betting on total kills. This popular type of <i>LoL<\/i> bet is unique to esports betting \u2014 you would be concerned if there was an option to bet on total kills in a football match!<\/p>\n<p>A total kills <i>LoL<\/i> betting market differs from a total market because rather than wagering on the total rounds played, you bet on the total kills in a match.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what a total kills bet looks like on Parimatch:<\/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-league-of-legends\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-923 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/parimatch.co.tz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Total-kills-bet-in-LoL-esports-betting-on-Parimatch.png\" alt=\"Total kills bet in LoL esports betting on Parimatch\" width=\"642\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With this type of <i>LoL<\/i> bet, you aren\u2019t picking a team to win or lose. All you care about is if the combined kills of both teams will be over or under the number that the bookmaker provides.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, you can see that the bookmaker expects the total kills to be over 26.5. You are able to determine this because the over has lower odds than the under.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_blood_LoL_betting\"><\/span>First blood <i>LoL<\/i> betting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Which team do you think will be the first to kill one of the enemy players?
