Why Are Esports Betting Odds So Damn Inconsistent?!

Look, I’ve been digging into esports betting odds for weeks now, and it’s driving me up the wall. One day, you see a team like Cloud9 priced as favorites in a CS2 match, and the next, they’re underdogs against some random tier-2 squad. What’s the deal? Bookies seem to be throwing darts at a board. I get that esports is fast-paced—rosters change, patches drop, meta shifts—but come on, the swings are ridiculous. I checked odds across five platforms for the same Dota 2 tournament, and the spreads were all over the place. One site had a 1.5x payout for a team, another had 2.1x for the same pick! Are they even watching the same games? I’m starting to think half these odds are just vibes-based. Anyone else fed up with this mess or got a trick to make sense of it?
