Outright winner
Pick the champion before or during the event. The bet settles when the final ends.
So what: higher payout, but the price carries the margin of every round and your stake is locked until the trophy is lifted.
Tournament · Age of Empires
Red Bull Wololo is Red Bull's Age of Empires tournament series, played 1v1 with in-person finals since 2021. It started as an online Age of Empires II event in 2020 and has added Age of Empires IV, Age of Empires I and Age of Mythology events. The latest edition, Red Bull Wololo: Londinium, was played in London in April 2026, where Hera won the Age of Empires II title. This page explains how bookmakers price Wololo matches and who has won every Age of Empires II main event.

Short answer
Where bookmakers list Age of Empires, they offer match winner, game handicap and total games on Wololo sets, and sometimes an outright winner. Sets are long, first to several games, so the better player wins more often than a single game suggests: a player who wins 60% of games takes a best-of-seven about 71% of the time. Age of Empires sits deep in the esports menu, so fewer bookmakers cover it than CS2 or Dota 2.
Outright vs match
Pick the champion before or during the event. The bet settles when the final ends.
So what: higher payout, but the price carries the margin of every round and your stake is locked until the trophy is lifted.
Pick the winner of one series. It settles when that series ends.
So what: usually the lowest margin on the page, and you can react to form, rosters and the draw.
Total games in a set, civilisation-related specials and first-game winner, where the bookmaker offers them.
So what: thin markets with wider margins; compare the price on two or three sites before you bet.
Odds through the bracket Example odds
A worked example: a team with a 60% chance in every series and an example outright overround of 25%.
Quarter-final
Semi-final
Final
Champion
Title chance = chance per series to the power of the series left. With 3 series to win: 21.6%, fair odds 4.63. Each series won removes one factor.
What it means: a pre-event outright price at 3.70 includes the margin on every round, so backing the same team series by series can pay more or less depending on the match margins you get.
With only eight players at the main event, the favourite needs three set wins; long sets make each step safer for the stronger player than the 60% used here.
Worked example, not a forecast. Book odds = fair odds ÷ (1 + overround).
