Bets are an important part of any game, and nothing can get your adrenaline pumping like a massive payout or loss. CSGO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) betting is no different, and the fact that there’s money on the line adds an extra element of excitement to game play. However, as soon as you start losing, it can be quite the opposite. Why do I always lose on CSGO betting sites? Is it because they’re rigged? Is it because I’m not using a good strategy? Is it because I’m not skilled enough? Is it even my fault because I don’t know how to play properly? Find out in this article what causes me to lose so often, and how you can avoid the same fate.
Rigged
It’s important to note that many CSGO betting sites are indeed rigged, and that’s why you often end up losing. You see, instead of using actual odds, which you would get if you played in a legal casino, most online betting sites use a technique called ‘conforming’ or ‘stacking the odds’. This basically means that the site will try to ensure that all of their bets favor them more than they favor your team. It also means that they’re not revealing their hand (or the fact that they’re using stacking) to prevent you from figuring it out and taking advantage of the situation.
There are a few things you can do to avoid getting roped into playing on a rigged site. First off, make sure you’re not using an actual money transer, like a credit card or debit card. These are some of the most frequently targeted by scammers and hackers, and you don’t want to risk having your account hacked just to get its value.
The next step is to use a different browser. If you’ve played on a site that uses stacking, you’ll notice that it doesn’t work in the same way in other browsers, like Firefox and Opera. If possible, try using Edge, which is currently the best option for gaming and getting around on the web.
Strategy
It’s important to play by the book if you want to be able to win, and that means using a specific strategy instead of just throwing money at the problem. One of the first things you should do is make sure you’ve figured out the odds for each of the bets you’re making. It might happen that the odds are clearly in your favor, but that doesn’t mean you should take the bait just to make sure you get your money back. This is where doing some research comes in handy.
For example, let’s say you’re a CSGO pro who’s just won a significant amount of money on a tournament. You get to thinking that you’ll have a great chance of winning even more, so you decide to bet some of your winnings on the upcoming game. If you don’t know how to do research correctly, you could end up in a situation where you’re exposed to unnecessary risks without knowing it. Make sure you do some homework and figure out how other players are beating the odds, and what you should be doing differently to have a better chance of winning.
Skilled
To be able to effectively use any sort of betting strategy, you need to be skilled. It doesn’t matter how smart you are or how much experience you have, if you don’t know how to place bets then there’s no point in trying to use strategy. Remember, strategy without knowledge is like a sunset without clouds: it’s a beautiful thing, but also a little bit disappointing. When playing on a rigged site, getting skilled is almost impossible because they’ll always have an edge no matter what. The good news is that it’s not exclusively related to being skilled, and there are ways you can still get some wins on these sites even when using a less-than-perfect strategy. All you need is a little bit of luck, and since we’re dealing with odds here, a bit of good fortune as well.
Fortune
According to the law of averages, eventually you’ll win regardless of what strategy you use or what browser you use. Sometimes it can even take a bit of bad luck to lose, especially if you rely heavily on stacked betting sites. When you do eventually win, you’ll be on top of the world, but for now, you have to content yourself with just getting some more money to place more risky bets. It’s all about risk versus reward, and in the case of CSGO betting, the risk is always high because there’s so much money on the line. Sometimes you just have to accept that you’re never going to win. It’s a losing battle, but at least it’s a fun fight.
