Our latest Rocket League betting tips cover all five matches on Thursday’s card. Visit our Rocket League betting guide for more tournament coverage, or compare the best esports betting sites before placing a wager.
Gentle Mates enter this best-of-five as slight favourites at -138.89, but there is very little separating the two teams in the market. Team Falcons sit at +100, making the underdogs an appealing option at an even-money price.
With such a narrow gap between the two sides, Falcons do not need to produce anything resembling a major upset. One strong opening game could quickly swing the series in their favour, and their price provides more upside in what looks like a closely matched contest.
Gentle Mates deserve favouritism, but Team Falcons at +100 offer the better risk-to-reward balance.
Team Falcons to win
Karmine Corp are strong favourites at -500 against Spacestation Gaming, who can be backed at +300. The favourite sits right on our minimum price but remains playable in a best-of-five series.
Spacestation Gaming offer a much larger return, although they will need to find consistency across several games rather than relying on one upset result. Karmine Corp should have enough time to adjust if they are caught out early.
The underdog price is tempting, but Karmine Corp remain the more dependable match-winner selection at -500.
Karmine Corp to win
Team Vitality are overwhelming favourites at -2500, leaving almost no value in taking them as a standalone match-winner bet. The market expects a comfortable win, but the potential return is far too restrictive.
TSM can be backed at +700 and provide the more interesting option at the available prices. They face a huge challenge, but a best-of-five still leaves room for a strong start to put the favourites under unexpected pressure.
Vitality are clearly the likelier winners, but TSM at +700 offer the only worthwhile value in the two-way market.
TSM to win
Twisted Minds are priced at -400 to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas, making them clear favourites without pushing their price below our minimum threshold.
Ninjas in Pyjamas are available at +250 and have enough upside to make this interesting if they can settle into the series quickly. However, they will need to maintain that level across three winning games to complete the upset.
Ninjas in Pyjamas carry the bigger payout, but Twisted Minds remain the stronger match-winner selection at -400.
Twisted Minds to win
MIBR.LOS enter the final match as favourites at -200, with Wildcard available at +140. The best-of-seven format gives the stronger side plenty of time to recover from a poor opening game.
Wildcard offer an attractive underdog price, but they will need to remain consistent for a much longer period than in Thursday’s BO5 matches. Any drop in level could give MIBR.LOS the opening they need to take control of the series.
Wildcard can certainly make this competitive, but MIBR.LOS offer the better combination of price and reliability at -200.
