CS2 Kills Bets Explained

There are two forms of CS2 Kills bets. The simplistic one is Match Betting. The other form of CS2 Kills betting focuses on individual players. Each CS2 player will have a kills under/over market for each map. So, if a player has an CS2 Kills under/over of 15.5 and gets 16 kills or more on the map, the over would land.

CS2 Kills Bets Tips & Tricks

Now that you have a good idea of what CS2 Kills bets are all about, it’s time for some tips and tricks. Please note that the five tips and tricks below include general information. We do not guarantee success with these tips and tricks. HLTV is not responsible for any losses incurred.

Who’s The Winner?

You will rarely find a scenario where a team with fewer total kills wins a match. It is just the nature of the game. With that in mind, one tip about CS2 Kills betting in relation to “Most Kills” bets is a simple one.

When looking at this type of bet, all you really need to do is predict the match-winner. Nine out of ten times, this will also be the team with the most kills in a match. Odds for “Most Kills” bets are close to that of the match-winner, with variants between 0.10 and 0.20.

Research CS2 Esports

One of the most important tips we can ever give you for CS2 Kills bets, as well as betting in general, is to do research. While nothing is guaranteed when it comes to betting, diligent research can increase your chances of winning. At HLTV we’ve got you covered with team match histories, previous results, stats and more. For CS2 Kills bets specifically, we recommend heading to the Player Statistics page and diving into the detailed stats before placing a bet.

Lifetime Average vs Current Form

Following our “doing research” tip is one very important detail CS2 bettors should always consider: Lifetime average vs form for individual players. For example, let’s say you have an Over/Under bet option of 16.5 on a player. Throughout the years, this player has delivered more than 17 kills per map.

However, in his/her last five games, the player has dropped to an average of 14 kills per map. This current player form suggests there’s a good chance he/she could again perform poorly, which means an Under bet could provide the bettor with a better chance of winning.

Focus On Players You Know

It’s tempting to place CS2 Kills bets on each and every player in a match. The odds might be tasty, and bettors might feel confident about their choices. However, one has to consider that not every player will perform to their best ability in a match.

There has to be a losing side, after all. Therefore, in terms of CS2 Kill bets, you could mix things up, placing Over bets on top fraggers from the team you think will win, and Under bets on support players for the team you think will lose a bet. This practice should help bettors win more CS2 Kills bets, if they predict the winner outcome correctly…

Consider Warm Up

Even some of the top CS2 players in the world take a while to warm up. On multiple occasions, you can see one of the best players ever with a lower kill score on the first map. This could be due to several factors, from flying to an event or simply the way the player operators.

This tip for CS2 Kills bets suggests that the bettor considers such factors. For example, a bookmaker provides odds of 1.9 for a top tier player to get Over 22.5 on map one. Oftentimes, you will notice that the same player in Map 2 has 1.7 odds to get Over 22.5 kills. Consider this aspect, as the exact maps for a match are unknown during pre-match betting. There’s a good reason for this, as certain top players perform betting once they are warmed up. Do your research to find out who that is!

These general tips should help you further understand the risks and rewards of this exciting feature. Odds examples are fictional. It is up to the bettor to check the odds provided by their bookmaker of choice.
