Live Betting guide
Live betting or In-play betting is a popular alternative to traditional fixed odds betting. Betting markets are offered as the event occures or the games are being played and the bookmakers allow the punters to read the flow of play before they can decide what betts to put.
There are plenty of sports that allow in-game betting, but team sports like football offer dynamic live betting, with punters being alowed to place bets in real the time. Markets will include betting on which team will score next, handicap markets, final score of the game and more.
Many bookmakers offer live betting, however, the live betting opportunities will differ from one bookmaker to another. It is a good ideea to have several betting account, thing that will allow the punter to locate the best opportunities for live betting during a particular game or event.
Live betting could be very tricky for begginers as punters will have to be prepared to make quick decisions when placing money on in-play parkets. A very good knowledge of the sport and of the teams invlolved is crucial, as is being able to predict how the events will unfold, and that could bring a nice profit.
It is also preferable to invest small ammounts of money in multiple markets rather than risking a big amount of cash on one single market. That because even 1.01 bets can be lost despide a team leading 3-0 at half time, and that means a huge loss when the punter would have earned only a small profit.
Here are some tips on live betting:
1. Weaker team scores first, early in the game.
Most of the time, when the weaker team scores first, early in the game, the strong team will at least equalize and likely win the game, especially if they play at home. So, a good market here is to bet on the strong team to win the game after the weaker team has scored the first goal in a game.
2. Almost 33% of all games end as 0-0 at half time
It is well knowed that the action in most football games occurs in the second hald. A good market is to play Under in the first half and Over in the second half.
3. Player sent off in a game
3.1 Late send-off
If a team is winning and a player of that team is eliminated from the game, is a good opportunity to put bets on Under as that team will concentrate defending rather that scoring more goals.
3.1 Early send-off
Whatever the score, if a player gets elimnated early in the game, it is likely that the other team will manage to score. This is true when a player from the weaker team gets sent off od the teams are evenly matched.
