First Blood is the bet on who lands the opening kill of a map or round, a fast, esports-only market that settles in the first moments of play.
First Blood is an in-game objective in League worth an early gold bounty, which makes invades and level-1 skirmishes pivotal. Aggressive junglers and lane bullies are your read for which side draws it.
First Blood is a wager on who records the first kill in a period of play, usually the opening kill of a map or round, depending on the title and the bookmaker. It is one of the most esports-native markets on the board: there is no real equivalent in traditional sport, and it settles fast, often within the first minute or two of action. You are not backing who wins the match, only who strikes first.
Most books frame First Blood as a two-way team market: Team A or Team B to draw first blood. Some operators break it down further, first kill of a specific map, first kill of a specific round, or a named player to land it. Read the exact wording before you stake, because "first blood of the map" and "first blood of round one" settle on different events. Odds sit close to even in balanced matchups and only drift when one side has a clear early-game identity. Because it resolves quickly, First Blood is popular as a live, in-play market where prices shift with the draft, side selection and early positioning.
Your edge comes from reading early-game tendencies rather than overall roster strength.
First Blood can add engagement to a watch-along, but a single early kill is close to a coin flip in many matchups. Bet only within a budget you are comfortable losing, and never treat any market as a guaranteed source of income.

It is the first kill within the defined period, most often the opening kill of a map or round. Bookmakers vary, so always confirm whether the bet settles on the map's first kill, a specific round's first kill, or a named player before you stake.
It is easy to understand and settles quickly, which makes it approachable, but the outcome is close to random in many matchups. Use it in moderation, focus on teams with aggressive early tendencies, and never stake more than you can afford to lose.
