Is live betting better than betting in advance?

[Maslate]

I can't answer that because I don't see an advantage where I win most of the time when betting on live betting.

Most of my bets are advance betting, that made me relax while watching the game, the thing is when you are doing some live betting, sometimes it makes a bettor so stressful as everyone point matters a lot. I also remember when I bet on a certain team in basketball where it gives +3.5, then my team go behind with more points, so I took another live bet at +7.5 then so on.. and still end up a loss, I learn that I should just let it go and focus on the next game rather than chasing odds in just one game.

Live betting requires a gambler to learn how to control his emotion, otherwise it will wiped out all his bankroll.

I really don't do a live betting since for me it's really risky to place bet on it also i'm not really comfortable since every time the odds changes and it could be really risky.

Betting live matches and also in advance are two unique ways to win in gambling; and there are no distinct differences from them both. For advance betting; you have enough time to research and find out about the game before staking your gamble. But for live betting (especially if you are watching the match), you are able to predict even far more correctly the outcome in the next minutes; half time, or even predict a gamble on the next goal scoring team.

Finally; it depends on the individual and attained skill in gambling.

I'm into quick profit so I would go with the live betting though if you are betting in advance the odds of the game is way more better than the live betting games. But on the other hand you could easily bet on live games.

For quick profit as you said; live bet seem the best IMO. The odds of the advance game bet and that of the live bet are somehow interesting, live bet odds are just too good for anyone who want to bet on single game with high odds but the advance bets seem less IMO, though this depend  absolutely on gambling platform. Personally, i love the live bet game than advance bet becasue through the live bet anyone can somehow easily determine the scores or how the game is likely to end, though it depends on luck too.

Bookies will not be able to adjust the odds easily because they are not watching the game, but us gamblers can see what's going to happen and we can find that as a value so we will bet on it. For example, a superstar in one team is fouled out, the betting odds will not react right away as it's only calculated based on the scores

That's not always true. If you try to make an in-play bet you will notice that the odds keep changing and if you select two or three events it will be almost impossible to place your bet without instantly accepting the new odds proposed by the bookie. Bookies rely mainly on third party services to feed them with real-time data which allow them to adjust their odds accordingly.

Personally, I prefer live betting because I don't like to wait too long to see if I won or not and because it makes watching the match more entertaining but I don't bet on more than one or two events at the same time.

Live has disadvantage and advantage. Its good to bet during live when you are confident to the team you are betting. You can bet on handicap bet that favorable to your team to the time when they are behind score because you can guarantee that they recover soon before the game ends, In that case. You will have an advantage on getting better odds compared when you bet in advance.

The only disadvantage is the time pressure since the bet change every seconds/minute. You might experience panic and you can't analyze properly your bet.

[thisappointed]

It depends on the bettor some bettors are good with in game or live game and some bettor are good when betting in pre match game, since not all bettor could analyze the game pretty well in live game also in live game it could be risky in my opinion.

Correct. Betting in live game will just give you crumpled decisions that will lead to future losses. Analyzing a game is a must, knowing the possibility of chances of a certain team in winning by using the information they have like watching the past videos of a game in sports to have solid decision on where to bet and how much bet they will risk.

Live betting can also mainly be for the players who want quick action and see whether their bet has won or lost.
If you place a bet at a football match before it has started, you have to wait at least 2 hours before there is a clear result. With Live betting it can be a lot faster, sometimes in 2 minutes.
With point betting even faster, but whether that is wise to bet on is another question.

Hello
This is something that is dependent on the person who is using it. If the person is more comfortable and can make informed decisions under the pressure then they should ofcourse go to the "live betting".
On the other hand , if the person is actually very fragile when it comes to changing decisions fast then he should now engage in such cases, if would just make them more frustrated and likely to fail.
I don't think anyone here should go for bookies since we have to pay them money 💰 , their commission and at the same time when you can access all the things already through internet.

[death69]

Well, it is your opinion. There are still many people love live betting. It is more fasicinated to them or might be they just need more information to make a decent decision

I dont have much time to watch live match and make a bet. Therefore, i prefer betting in advance. It is much faster and i dont have to worry much about the results.

Both live betting and prematch are good, but learning and knowing how to analyze the matches before betting will be good, having single bet while not betting frequently will be good.

Knowledge about the games are big advantages, it's gives you the right timing in picking the team of player to bet with, analysing and weighting the possiblities. High chances in winning if you understand the game and what are the hints that let you to pick one over the other.

What can make betting not to be good is addiction, having a single bet at ones be it live match or prematch are both good. But as for me I prefer live matches.

Inside live betting, you'll be able to analyze well, though odd are changing from time to time. The good catch is you are well capable knowing which is which is having the advanate if you know the game and you really paying attention from each advantages that your choosen pick have between the opposing team/player.

I've been experimenting with betting for some time, but I must admit that I consistently avoid live bets. It's very annoying to me that the odds are changing fast, and that while placing a bet you're likely to see the odds changing again right in front of you, and then you have to accept the new ones before you can proceed. I also prefer to bet in advance because it gives more time to think and make calm informed decisions, whereas live bets put additional stress to the process, and I believe it makes the choices more emotional rather than rational. Then again, it might become way more obvious who's going to win the match after it started because you've already seen how the teams are doing today.
I placed a small low-risk live bet on Sportsbet.io today to see through the process, but I don't think I'll change my habits:

What about you? Do you prefer live bets or not? Why?

It's on the user's experience and preference, some bettors who are good in the analysis do betting in advance and then just challenge their bet if it's going to win, those who are not good in the analysis are good in live betting, they know how to time their bet on who's going to win, both preferences need skills.
I prefer advanced betting, so I can concentrate on the performance of the team I bet and enjoy watching at the same time, live betting takes away the enjoyment of watching.

The point I pay attention to in live bets is to watch the match and get a goal bet. My personal opinion is always basketball betting is more fun than live football betting. These issues should always be viewed in terms of entertainment and should stay away from ambition.

[imstillthebest]

im not really into sports but seeing you and other comentors makes me visualize that live betting are more thrilling .

if we can used a carnival rides as example , the live betting will be a roller coaster and the advance betting is a carousel .

 if your a person that seeks for more thrill , live betting can be a good match to you but for a person that are not that brave enough to face more thrills he is fine with non live bets .

I think live betting is very thrilling, especially in my favorite football, I will bet every match because it will be more challenging than other bets.
Look, we will know the results faster, how the bookie announces it, we also know what they like every time there is a match that is taking place, always enthusiastic to keep betting on their respective choices so live betting will be preferred more than the usual.

[Mahdirakib]

I have good knowledge about few games and team. I like to place advance bet when the sports event and team is fully known to me. And I prefer live bets while I don't have much knowledge about any team. By watching the game for a while I place bet at low odds in live events. It gives me much confidence. Though the profit become low but it gives higher possiblity to choose the winning team correctly.

Unfortunately for sports betting in the field of basketball it is not very attractive to me because the very fast movements will make it even more difficult for me to guess the score, whereas in other sports I still have pretty good potential to predict the team's victory.

My advice for live basketball betting, the second quarter will be total number bets, usually teams can score numbers that can be surprised if the game structure is fast in certain quarters. As a result of my analysis, it is usually the second and third quarters in which the fast teams score a lot. If the basketball game structure is not suitable for you, it would be better to get used to another game structure.

[smyslov]

Those who are good in analysis will prefer advance betting and those who wants excitement and and believe in their hunch will go for live betting there is excitement in live betting because it requires quick thinking and right timing in putting up a bet, OP should put a poll on this one since it's an interesting topic to see the effectiveness of both option.

[Oceat]

So there you go people choose different betting style based on their preference, some may bet in advance because they are certain that the team they were chosen will win. But, of course, the chances of winning is not really 100% but it's higher chance than losing. While others choose to bet in live because they aren't certain who's going to win and this is mostly what I should do if in doubt.

[Lordhermes]

Those odd changes are one of the disadvantage of placing live bets both you have to accept it.
I have really love live betting because I followed it with strategy that works out for me.
-I start placing bets at 75' minutes to end and my bet option to play then, is to pick a particular team and predict them not to score again till match finishes.
-Also I used higher stakes for smaller odd during live betting, this helps boast your balance if the bet goes well.

Live bets opens up the weakness of a team and gives a bettor better ways and opinion to place bets, never play live bets without checking statistics, because that's the real and actual hints to place good live bets.
