Starting on Friday, Epic Games will launch one of the largest video game tournaments in history, the Fortnite World Cup, held in New York City. With $30 million in prizes up for grabs across numerous formats, money is expected to change hands inside the area and out of it.
Bovada, one of the largest online gambling websites in the world, has added an entire section to their site dedicated to the World Cup itself. On it, users can place bets on who will win certain events such as the Pro-Am or Solo and Duo portions of the tournament. Additionally, there are more niche "prop bets" such as "Will a player from an organization win?" or "Region of the Winner."
Bovada, who has yet to respond to InvenGlobal's request for comment, has the two most well-known players in the world as the odds-on favorite to win their respective events.
In the Fortnite World Cup Pro-Am, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins and Christopher "Marshmello" Comstock are +450 to take down the competition. The "+450" means that if an individual bets $100 on them at those odds, and they do win, the user will take home $450.
As for the two $15 million tournaments, Bovada has Turner "Tfue" Tenney (+1200) as the favorite to take home the $3 million first-place prize in the Solo event. Right behind him are Timothy "Bizzle" Miller (+1400) and Klaus "Stompy" Konstanzer (+1500). Users can also bet on who will finish in the top three.
The Duo portion of the event, also with $15 million on the line, has Stompy and his teammate, Thomas "Tschinken" Hörak as the betting favorites with a +700 odds. Rounding out the top three are the pairing of Benjy "Benjyfishy" David Fish and Martin "MrSavage" Foss Anderson (+800) and Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson and Dmitri "Mitr0" Van de Vrie (+1000).
The full list of eligible bets and odds can be found here.
With all bets needing to be placed by 4 am EDT on Friday morning, money will be made by those sitting inside the arena and those home watching.
