How does live betting at a sportsbook work? And, is live betting a smart way to bet? TPN expert betting analyst, Steve Clark, tells you everything you need to know about in-game wagering and live bets.
In This Video: Whether it’s a tennis match or the Super Bowl, you can live bet on pretty much any sport live betting or in game betting is a way for you to bet on a game. While it’s happening. Sports books release new money lines, point spreads props and totals as the game is going on. And as often as between plays between points or between at bats. Live betting is a great way to get good values in games and a fun way to watch sports. Maybe you wanted to place a bet on a game before it started, but you just couldn’t get to your phone or computer fast enough. Live betting is a perfect way to get in on the action. If nothing dramatic has happened yet in the game, you’ll likely find the same or similar odds as you would have before the game started. On the flip side though, if one team scores on their opening drive or one team scores, three first inning runs, the odds will shift considerably. If you really think a hockey team is going to win and they go down one nothing early, you’ll get much better odds live betting them down one nothing than you would have before the game started. In a similar vein, if you’ve noticed a trend with a football team where they don’t do a ton of scoring in the first half. But they do tend to score a lot in the second half. It might be wise for you to wait until halftime to bet they’re over under total because the number will be much more reasonable and you’ll get way better odds on this last NFL postseason was a live betters dream when we saw the Chiefs go down and three different games and make comebacks and win all of those games. an extreme example of how valuable life betting can be is Super Bowl 51. You know which Super Bowl I’m talking about patriots vs Falcons. The Patriots entered the game as minus 159 favorites but by near the end of the third quarter, the Falcons were winning 28 to three some people still had faith in Tom Brady and the Patriots to overcome that deficit. So they live bet the Patriots money line at plus 1600 we all know what happened next, the Patriots launched one of the biggest comebacks in Super Bowl history and a lot of betters walked away with some big wins. But let’s say that you took the Falcons money line at plus 139 before the game started if you wanted a really great way to hedge your bet in the middle of the game, live betting the Patriots plus 1600 for a fraction of the cost that you put on the Falcons would ensure you came out of the super bowl on top. Let’s jump on the DraftKings Sportsbook right now and I’ll show you some examples as they’re happening. Here are some games happening right now we can bet on in the NBA. As you can see the point spread the over under and the money lines are constantly changing. This is both caused by the score changing which we can see on DraftKings and things like change of possession, injuries, things like that, that you need to be watching the game to really see if you want to give live betting a try. Here’s some tips that I use when I live that game live betting odds move extremely fast. So if you’d like something, take it immediately I’ll even set thresholds in my head, I’ll tell myself if the Chiefs get to over plus 100. In the first quarter I’m going to take if I notice a mismatch or if I see that a player looks like they’re getting hot, I’ll check the live player props and try to find some good value before that player really goes off. And like I mentioned earlier, I use live betting as a way to hedge some of my bigger bets. And the biggest piece of advice I can give for someone trying live betting is to watch the game. If you’re live betting on a game, don’t just check the line movements on your phone. Make sure you’re actually watching the game so you can get a feel for how it’s going. So that’s live betting. If you’re wondering what to do tonight, and your favorite teams aren’t playing, maybe just turn on the TV, put on a game and try your hand at it’ll definitely keep you entertained during the game and you might even find some good values. If you’re new to sports betting and you want to learn more about it.
