Esports data and technology supplier Abios has today revealed its new odds product for CS:GO, featuring a wide selection of engaging bet offers curated for esports fans.
In a statement, the company confirmed that bet offers can be mixed and matched with “exciting product features such as same-game parlay, player props, and flash markets, allowing sportsbooks to take full advantage of esports and create a compelling offering for fans”.
Abios notted: “With the continued growth and promise of esports, many sportsbooks have recognised that they do not want to miss out. Esports is considered a way to reach a new generation with gradually increasing buying power. As such, we see esports next to football and other sports in many sportsbooks today.”
The company explained that because esports differs from traditional sports in many aspects and has a younger, more tech-savvy audience, the types of bet offers available in sports might not always be enough for the genre.
The new data-driven odds feed for CS:GO features a vast array of markets for many aspects of the game, including round-by-round betting and game-specific events such as pistol round winner and player to get over/under x kills.
The odds service also incorporates a same-game parlay, also called bet builder, enabling players to combine correlated markets from the same match in their bet slips which, said the firm, unlocks a new dimension to CS:GO betting.
CEO and Founder Oskar Fröberg commented: “We are happy to release a product that unites the features we’ve seen at the forefront of sports betting with esports. While we have seen that many operators are including esports in their offerings, there is a growing demand for better esports odds products. Products that reflect the fast, dynamic gameplay in esports.
“With a same-game bet builder, round-by-round betting and player props, we believe CS:GO is finally ready product-wise to reach the next frontier, to become one of the top-tier sports in terms of turnover in sportsbooks.“
