First, in the world of e-soccer, teams from the Liga Pro face off in simulated matches on the FIFA 20 video game.
Then, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive news, the ESEA MDL Season 34 competition brings several matches to the table today.
Finally, in the Czech Republic, several excellent darts players face off in the Tipsport Premier League, which brings four matches to the betting slate today.
Overall, there’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump right in!
E-Soccer Liga Pro Betting
The COVID-19 pandemic has given new prominence to the simulated versions of a lot of different kinds of sports.
Soccer especially has some interesting applications as far as the simulated matches go, with a lot of smaller leagues that can be simulated due to the FIFA series of video games.
The showdown between FRZ Forze and PSG Shemyakin Onze presents a couple of interesting opportunities on many major sportsbooks.
The spread for the match on Bovada is 0.0 goals, with Forze having -115 odds on that spread, and Onze having -120 odds.
On the moneyline, Forze is +150 while Onze is +145, and a draw has +275 odds.
This makes it relatively more profitable to bet on the moneyline odds in this match compared to the spread, since the spread is set at 0.0 goals.
The Over/Under line is set at 3.5 goals, but there is some significant shading towards the Under, which has -140 odds, compared to the +100 odds given to the Over.
This implies a relatively low scoring game, which is likely part of the reason the sportsbooks are struggling to put a spread on this game.
Overall, this is an interesting betting opportunity for many soccer bettors and virtual sports bettors to take a look at.
ESEA CS:GO Betting
Pivoting from virtual sports betting to esports betting, the ESEA MDL Europe Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Season 34 competition continues today.

This is the 34th season of the European ESEA MDL competition, and the closest of today’s matches - according to the sportsbooks - is between Movistar Riders and Sprout.
Movistar is -120 on the moneyline, while Sprout is -115, putting very little daylight between the two teams.
The most lopsided of today’s matchups happens earlier in the day, as AGO Esports takes on GamerLegion as a significant favorite.
AGO are -335 on the moneyline against GamerLegion, who clock in with +230 odds to pull off the upset.
There are six total matches in the competition today, and this is a good opportunity for sports bettors to familiarize themselves with the workings of Counter-Strike betting.
Darts Tipsport Premier League
This column has examined the sport of darts before, but mostly in the context of the major organizations like the PDC and the BDO.
The Tipsport Premier League is decidedly not one of the major darts organizations, but that’s why it’s such an interesting betting opportunity.
Today’s highlighted match comes courtesy of MyBookie Sportsbook, which gets pretty specific with the odds.
It features Michael Ondo taking on Adam Gawlas, in a match that sees Gawlas favored by a significant margin.
Gawlas is -263 on the moneyline, while Ondo is +181 in terms of odds to pull off the upset.
It is entirely possible that the sportsbook is just letting the odds be dictated by the people betting on this match - these are very specific odds to have on a small competition like this.
There are four matches in this competition, and MyBookie has the same kind of very specific odds on all of them, so they might be worth keeping an eye on.
