Basic Starcraft betting strategies
As a rule, StarCraft players devote their entire playing career to playing as one of three possible races
Zerg, Protoss or Terran. Based on this, in order to make a successful prediction, it is necessary to
take into account what race the esportsman plays when you plan to bet, and how easy it will be for him to
play against the opponent’s race. For example, in average the Terran player is successful against the
Protoss, but has difficulty playing against the Zerg. At the same time, the player’s personal skill does
not always play a decisive role.
It is also necessary to take into account patches that can slightly strengthen one race and weaken
another.
In addition, the card that players choose is important, since one race is stronger on some cards, but
weaker on other cards.
