Dota 2 Betting Quick Guide
How to Bet on Dota 2 at SBX
Dota 2 is one of the world’s biggest esports titles, offering deep gameplay and even deeper betting markets. This guide will walk you through how the game works, the most popular betting markets on SBX, and how scoring and objectives influence outcomes.
🎮 What Is Dota 2?
Dota 2 (Defense of the Ancients 2) is a 5v5 strategy game where teams compete to destroy each other's Ancient - the core building in their base. Each player controls a unique hero, and teams gain advantages by earning gold, buying items, leveling up, and claiming objectives like towers and Roshan.
Matches are typically played in best-of-1, best-of-3, or best-of-5 formats in tournaments.
🧠 Key Objectives That Impact Scoring
Understanding these objectives helps when betting on markets beyond just match winner:
Ancient: The core building; destroying it wins the game.
Towers: Defensive structures that must be taken down to reach the Ancient.
Barracks: Destroying these spawns stronger “megacreeps.”
Roshan: A powerful neutral boss. Killing him gives the Aegis of the Immortal, granting a hero a second life.
Kills: Each kill grants gold and map control, influencing momentum.
💸 Betting Markets on SBX
Dota 2 offers a wide variety of betting options on SBX, including:
🏆 Match Winner
The simplest bet - choose which team will win the series.
🗺️ Map Winner

🎯 Correct Score

⚔️ Kill-Based Markets
Total Kills Over/Under - Will the match have more or fewer kills than a set number?
Team with Most Kills - Which side will rack up the most eliminations?
First Blood - Which team secures the first kill of the game?
🏰 Objective Markets
First Tower - Who destroys the first tower?
First Barracks - Which team takes the first lane of barracks?
First Roshan/Aegis Claimed - Who kills Roshan and claims the Aegis?
Megacreeps Spawned - Will a team wipe all enemy barracks and summon megacreeps?
📊 How Scoring Works
Unlike traditional sports, Dota 2 doesn't have a fixed score system. Victory is achieved by:
Destroying the enemy Ancient (win condition)
Gaining advantages through kills, gold income, tower pushes, and objective control
These in-game metrics drive most of the betting markets - especially kills and objectives.
