How World of Warcraft is played
To play World of Warcraft, the gamer requires making a character known as a hero. The hero is the avatar that is used when playing the game. The avatar has no limitations as it can come from all races and classes. During gaming, a player can use the avatar in different ways. You can use it to visit various places of the map, accomplish missions commonly known as quests, fight all kinds of monsters and meet in-game characters and players as well.A player chooses a server commonly known as a realm which represents an individual copy of the game. The realms available in the World of Warcraft are in two categories which include Normal and RP (roleplay). Normal is essentially is a regular type of realm where much focus is on fighting monsters and completing quests. The RP (roleplay) on the other hand looks similar to normal type realm only that the main focus is on players with their roles in the game.
With consistent gaming, characters in World of Warcraft adopt and gain special skills and abilities. Besides, characters can decide to have a selection of two main professions which can be from mining, skinning, tailoring and the art of jewel making. Also, each character can choose from other four secondary skills that might involve fishing, first aid technique, archaeology as well as cooking.
A player in this game can decide on its quests during the game. One of the key components in World of Warcraft is interaction and players achieve this by forming a coalition for the best part of the game. Besides, when players group during gaming, issues are easily solved. It is simply referred to as Player versus Environment (PVE).
The Arena Player versus Player (PVP) system, on the other hand, is achieved in the eSport World of Warcraft. The matches in this kind of gaming involve a tournament where matches played are controlled. The matches are in three formats and each separate team involved in the battles having two, three or five players. The winners in specified match earn their team rating besides Arena Points.

These bets include futures or outright winners betting market, winners betting market, handicap and specials market.

To begin with, betting on the match winners market is so far the easiest way of betting on World of Warcraft. In this type of betting market, punters choose the team that will eventually emerge as winners between the set of two teams. The most favoured team has shorter odds whereas the underdog gets longer odds. A team which is considered the favourite has low profit as it is given low odds and in case you place your bets on the underdog team and win, you get high profits because of the higher odds.
Next is the handicap market type of betting which looks quite similar to match winner market with just a slight difference. It is so far one of the best bet type liked by most betting fans in the world. One advantage it has over the match winner market is that it has starting odds of +1.5 or +2.5 that goes to one of the battling teams. During the game, when any team shows a starting advantage, the odds change where the underdogs get the highest odds.
The advantage to punters who use both the handicap market and the match winners market is that they can make predictions of possible winners of the particular match before the match begins.
On the other hand, punters who use specials market benefit from game-specific bets. Punters can predict the correct score of the tournament or use Number of kills (under/over) odds and win only if the predictions are correct.
