Make sure to read the the ItemBet rules before betting.
How to bet
First off, you need to register and login at GosuGamers. By clicking your name in the top right corner, you will trigger the user menu. To access the itembets, click "My Itembets". If you have not used ItemBets before, you will have to confirm to agree with the rules and conditions. GosuGamers may also ask you to change your password into a safe password, for the safety of your inventory.
Next step is to connect a Steam account to your user account, if that has not been done already. After successfully doing so, you can start requesting bots to load items. You will then be asked to add a steam bot by a steam plugin. After the bot requested the add, it will ask you to trade with it. In the trade, add the amount of rares/keys you specified when requesting the trade. When the trade is complete, the rares/keys will be added to your balance at GosuGamers.
In order to place rares/keys on a match, simply open the match page of a match with ItemBets enabled (there will be a red dice icon shown in the match ticker for such matches). If you have at least 1.00 rares or keys in your GosuGamers Itembet balance, you may use them to bet at matches. In the Betting panel, toggle between GosuBet (branches), rares and keys - depending on what currency you would like to bet with. Click the team you are betting for, fill in the amount and press "Save Bet". You can remove your bet at any time unless the match is started or starting within five minutes.
You can not only win whole keys, but also part of keys. This means you can end up having for instance 4.26 keys in your inventory. Out of these you can only bet and/or withdraw 4. But the decimal keys (0.26 in this case) can be used when they form one whole key. The process to withdraw rares/keys is the same as when you deposit, except that the bot will trade you the number of keys you requested, provided your balance allows it.
