Basis of making betting tips for Dota 2
Lord MatusLevel of the teams
First of all, creating tips for Dota 2 matches, you need to consider the level of the teams participating in the match.
If you want to write tips for the meeting where teams of different levels participate in, you will face a failure in both of the cases. If you make a bet on the favorite whose coefficient is equal to 1,1-1,3, your analytical skills are unlikely to be estimated by anyone as the fact that the favorite will win is pretty obvious.
If you make a bet on the team whose coefficient is set as more than 4, the chance of your coefficient to be successful will not reach the level of the opponent, but will get defeated.
Current gaming shape
The second important factor that should be taken into account while creating your own tips for the match is gaming shape of the participants in the match.
If you have found out that the teams are at the same level and there is a point in making a bet at the match, you have to pay a special attention to the gaming shape. This factor is often a stumbling block for many inattentive betters. Sometimes the team that is intended to be the winner can lose as the players have a bad gaming shape that is observed in the last performances of the roster.
Also, the gaming shape is influenced by other factors that could be seen on social media on the official accounts of any team.
For instance, at the recently held MDL Macau 2019 at the group stage Virtus.pro performed not as well as it had been expected as they thought that neither the group stage nor the tournament itself were valuable for them. Furthermore, surveillance cameras captured a moment that is still remembered by many people — during the pick stage two players mimized the game and played Apex Legends.
This fact proves that the players were not involved in the draft process if we put it mildly. Also it could be possible that the team prepared for the tournament poorly or one of the players could get sick. In this case you can go against the system and speak about these facts in your material and make a bet on the outsider that can become the winner in the end.
As for the gaming shape, we can also add that it is necessary to pay attention to its relevance. For instance, if the team took part in the official matches a month ago and their opponent — yesterday, in this case you should not rely on the good results of the first participant in the match, especially if you don’t have any information about team’s preparation for the championship.
You should not forget that the level of the previous opponents of any of the teams can also be decisive. For instance, if Team Secret play with Virtus.pro and at the previous matches their opponents were Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses and Ninjas in Pyjamas, and VP played with Natus Vincere, Forward Gaming and Infamous before, in this case Team Secret has the advantage.
It can be explained by the fact that Secret have already passed some hardening and played with rather strong opponent and it means that they have already got used to difficult battles when Virtus.pro were able to play with their opponents not at full blast and they were a bit relaxed in some sort.
As for the gaming shape, you can find many other little things that will define your success as a predictionist.

Format of the match
Another important detail for creating tips and defining the potential winner is a format of the matches. At the Bo1 competitions, as a rule, unpredictable things can happen and the outsider can become the winner of the match. It can be explained by the fact that the favorite of the tournament hasn’t had enough time to warm up or to get prepared for the meeting or the championship morally and understand that there is a right to make a mistake can put even the strongest team at ease. The most risky matches are Bo1 meetings at the group stage, especially if the results of the group stage will define only a seeding of the teams in the playoff bracket and nobody will leave the competition.
Conclusion
As in any other sphere, the longer you do it, the better your tips become, especially if you make a correction work of the mistakes that you have made.
