In-game wagering, better known as Live betting, has grown in popularity because it is a way to make wagers during sporting events that are happening in real time. Unlike pre-game betting, which is locked in until the end of a game, live bets have the opportunity to shift based on relevant game occurrences and as a result can offer much better value than pregame lines.
However, making money in the world of Live betting isn’t a walk in the park. It requires a keen eye and quick fingers to keep up with the odds that change constantly in response to the games’ happenings. This is why it is best to limit how many bets you attempt to place during a game as you can only have so much bandwidth to follow.
The biggest advantage of Live betting is that the odds are always shifting, which gives punters a chance to find value on picks they would have otherwise passed up on pregame. For example, if a game has an over/under total of 54 points and the score is tied at halftime but the second half is very defensive, the over/under will likely drop to 51. This is a great opportunity for those who have a pregame notion of how the game will play out and can recognize when an expected outcome is not going to happen.
This is also true for team props, where bettors can bet on individual player stats such as how many yards a quarterback will pass for or how many receptions a receiver will make. This is an excellent way to get more bang for your buck, but remember that you are taking on more risk with every bet.
