Live-bets: Strategies and Advices

The last 15 years have been marked by the rapid development of Internet technologies and everything that is associated with them. If in the late 90s most bookmakers were positioned as the most progressive betting service on the phone, in 2010 almost every office that has a website allows players to bet in real time. Some gambling operators offer as a supplement to live broadcast video of the sporting event, others add text translation and infographics.

Today live is one of the most popular types of sports betting. Players rely on the data obtained during the direct observation of the match, trying to navigate and draw some conclusions. As a result, they bet.

In theory, everything is very simple:there is an event, there is a broadcast of this event, there is an idea of ​​what is happening on the sports ground. All that is required of the player is to choose the most obvious outcome with a sufficiently high ratio, place a bet and put a win in the pocket.

In practice, the situation is somewhat more complicated. Any sporting event is a bright and dynamic event with an unpredictable outcome, which during the match can change several times. Sometimes the situation on the field can change within a couple of minutes. Sometimes a team that loses during the entire game, at the last minute of the regular time, scores two goals and wins the match.

In live you can win a lot and quickly, or lose a lot and quickly lose. Because this type of betting is more suitable for experienced players who are able to analyze the situation and instantly draw the right conclusions. For beginners, the standard pre-match will work.

If the player understands the chosen sport and can calculate the situation on the sports ground, he can make live bets, regardless of experience in the bookmaker office. At first, mistakes are inevitable – the process of acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills without them is impossible.

Some standard errors can be avoided if you know about them in advance. Let us analyze some of them.

The main mistake is when the player is guided exclusively by a low coefficient and puts on a temporary favorite. As we noted earlier, during the match the favorite can change several times. In this case, small coefficients should not be avoided. Small quotes mean that this outcome can occur with the greatest degree of probability. This does not mean that the outcome will necessarily happen:in sport sensations are always possible, and Iceland’s national football team can beat the English.

Some players bet on the current account and hope that in 5-10 minutes left before the end of the match, nothing will happen. This is one of the biggest misconceptions. In football to the main time can be added a couple of minutes, and both teams will score each other a couple of goals. In hockey in five minutes can be scored four goals. Dynamism in most sports is huge, especially towards the end of the meeting.

Live-bets require some preparation. It is preliminary necessary to study all available information about the match, familiarize yourself with the current form of rivals (see the results of the last ten matches of each team or participant), the history of personal meetings.

It is necessary to know the features of the chosen sport. For example, men’s tennis differs markedly from the female one. In the male version, fights are more stable, without noticeable differences in results. Women’s meetings are more energetic and unpredictable. The tennis player can lead during the meeting 5:0, and eventually lose 5:7.

It is not always advisable to bet on bookmaker errors and arbs. Most bookmakers consider such bets with disbelief, and if they are found, at best they will cancel the bet and return the money to the account. At worst, they cut limits or block accounts.

In general, after watching even a small part of the match, you can make a definite opinion about the game, the mood of the athletes and the possible outcome. This opinion may not coincide with the opinion that was drawn up before the match, and may be incorrect. However, many experienced players draw conclusions during the match.

The main difference between live and preempt is that when placing a bet before the start of a sporting event the player is guided by a line compiled by bookmaker’s analysts, specialized programs, etc. By putting in real time the player competes only with the bookmaker office employee, who watches the match and adjusts the odds as the situation on the field changes.
