Fans of the iconic Xbox and PC game Halo will be treated to an absolute spectacle of eSports action this weekend in Fort Worth, Texas. The top 16 teams in the world will fight it out for their share of the $250,000 prize pool, and more importantly, valuable qualification for the Halo World Championship later this year.
With FaZe Clan winning the most recent major in Arlington, can they back up their strong performance and take out the top spot here in Fort Worth as well? Or will the ultra-consistent Spacestation Gaming produce a result? We break down all the latest betting odds from bookmaker bet365 and outline the best bets to make on the Halo Championship Series 2023: Fort Worth Major this week.

Looking at the outright betting odds from bookmaker bet365, it’s a close race at the top of the odds heading into the tournament this weekend. Spacestation Gaming has been rewarded for their consistency with odds of just 2.50 to win in Fort Worth, ahead of recent winners FaZe Clan who sit on 3.00. Behind these two, OpTic Gaming pays 5.00 for a win, while Sentinels and Quadrant round out the top five betting favourites at 7.00 and 10.00 respectively.
Odds to make the final are similar, with the same five teams paying anywhere from 1.57 to 4.50 for a finals appearance.

In terms of the best bets to make on the Halo Fort Worth Major this weekend, we see two strong bets to make. First, back Spacestation Gaming to make the final at 1.57. Sure, these are the most lucrative eSports odds you’ll ever see, however, the team has made the final of every event they’ve played since May, winning on two occasions. There’s a good chance they’ll win here, but an even better likelihood that they’ll at least make the final.
For our winner, we recommend wagering on FaZe Clan. Yes, they were recently upset by Sentinels at the Global Invitational, but this is a bigger stage where the team typically performs better. Last time FaZe played in a major, they won it, and we say there’s an excellent chance of them doing it again here in Texas. For a side that has already won six events in 2023, we say they’re the best bet to make ahead of this weekend.
