Live betting or in-play betting is the new way to place bets on a certain sport whilst the games or events are taking place. For instance, you can place bet on multiple aspects in a Soccer match after it has already started and throughout the duration of the match.
It removes the need to make preparations and puts you at the heart of the game, while also giving you the chance to change your bet or place a new one throughout the duration of the event.
Live Betting Explanation
What is live betting in sports? Basically, at the site you’re betting on, there are set odds on a match or event before it takes place. Those odds will change multiple times before the event starts, depending on what happens.
For example, if Team A are the favorites to win the match against Team B, and after a few minutes Team B has taken the lead, the odds will reflect on this. Team A are still the favorites to win however with less chance of doing so, this will raise their odds.
Therefore, bettors who wish to bet on Team A will get better odds than they would before the event or game started.
It is not only the goals in Soccer that can change the odds. Every action throughout the game will change the outcome and alternating the odds in the process.
The odds are automatically updated by the live betting site, using a computer algorithm which constantly updates the information. Then, depending on what’s happening in the match as well as past outcomes will change the odds.
