How it works
Betting CrossFire in four steps
-
Find a bookmaker that lists it
CrossFire is a niche market outside Asia. Check the esports menu before you sign up.
-
Check the format
Best of three or best of five maps; the Grand Final is the longest series.
-
Price per map first
Estimate a chance per map, then turn it into a series chance with the table below.
-
Set a limit
Thin markets move fast. Stake small and stop at your limit.
Markets Example odds
CrossFire betting markets
The markets you will usually find, with example odds for a best of five.
Match winner is the cheapest CrossFire market in this example. Single-map and round markets cost more per bet.
| Market | You bet on | Example odds | Margin | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match winner | Who wins the series. | 1.50 / 2.45 | 7.0% | the lowest margin here. |
| Map handicap −1.5 | The favourite must win 3–0 or 3–1. | 1.95 / 1.75 | 7.8% | turns a short favourite into an even bet. |
| Map 1 winner | Who wins the first map. | 1.55 / 2.30 | 7.4% | one map gives the underdog more room. |
| Total maps over 3.5 | The series goes to four or five maps. | 1.73 / 1.97 | 7.9% | a bet on a close series. |

Series maths
From a per-map chance to a series chance
If maps are independent, a BO3 is won with p² × (3 − 2p) and a BO5 with p³ × (10 − 15p + 6p²).
BO3 = p² × (3 − 2p)
BO5 = p³ × (10 − 15p + 6p²)
p = 0.60: 0.648 and 0.683
| Per map | BO1 | BO3 | BO5 | Fair odds BO3 | BO3 vs BO1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 50.0% | 50.0% | 50.0% | 2.00 | ±0.0 pp |
| 55% | 55.0% | 57.5% | 59.3% | 1.74 | +2.5 pp |
| 60% | 60.0% | 64.8% | 68.3% | 1.54 | +4.8 pp |
| 65% | 65.0% | 71.8% | 76.5% | 1.39 | +6.8 pp |
| 70% | 70.0% | 78.4% | 83.7% | 1.28 | +8.4 pp |
| 75% | 75.0% | 84.4% | 89.6% | 1.19 | +9.4 pp |
| 80% | 80.0% | 89.6% | 94.2% | 1.12 | +9.6 pp |
Pure maths: maps treated as independent with the same chance p.
