Why I Switched from Electronic Sports to Sports Betting?
Let me tell you why! The easy answer is that in my spare time I used to play games and participate in (and even organise) tournaments with teams of 5 to 10 players. We played a lot of electronic games on various devices including PlayStation, PC games and Xbox but the wins were never big enough. Maybe I should perform better and participate in bigger tournaments with greater prizes but let’s face it – sports gambling can really make you reach, especially if you are quite a sports fan. Which I am!
There are many opportunities for sports betting in the UK and I’ll give you my observations in a jiffy. First things first – let’s make clear what are the differences between electronic sports and sports betting. The first one, the electronic sports or e-sports, have a strictly competitive and tournament character. In the UK, you can participate in four divisions including Open, Championship, Cup and Premiership, and I can tell – the Open division was really my thing for a lot of time. However, there was always a part missing. I’m talking about the enticing gambling part which comes with a lot of fun and ease of playing too. Hence, I switched to sports betting!
Coming along, there are many gambling sites in the UK and punters can easily find their favourite bookmakers. Of course, I preferred the online platforms instead of going to a land casino simply because it is easier and more fun. There is nothing extraordinary or wrong with this gambling endeavour since it is regulated in the UK. You only need to make sure that you are playing at online casinos and sports betting sites that are licensed by the British Gambling Commission. The regulatory body in the electronic sports area (e-Sports) is UKeSA. By contrast, the gambling sites can also offer numerous other games (slots, roulette, etc.) which are regularly tested by different organisations including Ecogra, iTechLabs and so on and so forth. In other words, sports betting is safe and secure in the UK and it can be much more profitable, at the same time.
All right, but how I made my sports betting experience more profitable, in the second place? The key is all about the creation of fun and entertaining experiences while playing your favourite pastime. Although FIFA is among the UK’s most played games, the electronic sports require a lot of preparation, strict procedures and training, and it went along with a lot of expenses to travel. On the other hand, I can enjoy big profits by betting on my favourite sport which is football, and all thanks to my experience with the FIFA video game. So, do the math for yourself and you can see that sports betting is the real thing! You only need to follow a few must-haves which I synthesised in a couple of short tips.
- Make sure to bet on your favourite sports.
- Always check out the odds and place multiple bets per session.
- Keep track of your bets’ history.
- Follow blogs, news, TV shows and other sources with the latest information.
I think that explains why and how I switched from electronic sports to sports betting. Guess what’s better? Gambling can easily offer more entertaining adventures with a chance to win big. The choice of British bookmakers is great too but that’s a completely different story that I can tell you soon. Stay tuned!
