When to Favour Live Sports Betting?

It's like regular sports betting, only better. However, there are several occasions on which you should consider betting in real time. First, it’s a sports choice. For example, in Dota 2 matches, it’s crucial to draft proper heroes. Live mode allows you to wager after you see teams’ drafts, which is an amazing tactic for more wins.

Another sport where live betting shines is cricket. In its matches, bowlers must choose a serving hand, which drastically impacts their serves. Once you know that a bowler serves with his off-hand, you know that he is more likely to fail, which shifts the live odds to his opponents.

The second reason is a change to team rosters. It works only with team sports. For instance, if a key player receives an injury during a football match, his team is less likely to win, meaning it’s a good time to wager against them.

Finally, live betting is insurance from missing a bet. So, if you’re late, just open the sports match with the Live icon and add a bet to the slip. Or maybe more than one, who knows?

Live Betting Odds Explanation

Live odds are unstable. They constantly change according to the in-game situation. For example, if you want to wager on the match winner in soccer, the live odds will drastically shift each time one of the teams scores a goal. In Dota 2, for instance, it’s slightly different. Bookmakers will change the live betting odds once a key team’s character becomes fed and fulfills his game plan.

If you’ve made a live bet, you can’t change it. It imprints the odds it had when you were betting and lasts till the match ends. However, instead of changing the bet, you can just place another one (you can do it an unlimited number of times).

Unique In-Play Betting Markets

Live betting is full of markets to suit different in-game situations. The general ones are:

• Match winner. Wager on who you think wins a match;
• Totals. Place a bet on whether a score goes over or under a given number;
• Handicap. Bet on the outsider with a reduced win condition (for example, for your bet to be considered a winning one, a weaker team must be 1 score behind the opponent or less).

The rest of the live markets are prop (unique to specific sports). For example, you can conduct live sports betting on an estimated basketball match score during a specific quarter. Or, you can wager on how many times Roshan (map boss) will be killed within a Dota 2 match.
