How to adjust and work with the bet365 live streaming

[darewaller]

I never faced any issues, and it's perfect in terms of betting. There's a lot of fun of your choice; the remarkable thing is they don't apply a fee for withdrawals, and they're fast compare to the other bets sites. The only thing I dislike is charging a high phone bill when you call customer support with a Canadian phone. Had a pleasant little surprise on my phone bill.

No doubt they are the best gambling site in my opinion too but actually this thread is not about player reviews, instead there is an excellent explanation how we can use the tools and actually enjoy the live stream in full size. I used to zoom the page to see the stream better but the layout of bet35 is such that the fonts and other things will enlarge first and stream hardly zooms in, thanks for the great explanation OP and I have tested it myself so I can it works.

I have watched all the Australia Open matches on bet365 itself and some of the matches they show are even ahead of the stream that is being shown on TV so it was a great experience with the method you shared.

It was even faster in the previous seasons for many sports, but they deliberately added a delay to their streaming service now. Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A was faster on bet365 than on satellite/cable. That is no longer the case. German BBL basketball, Austrian and German Bundesliga - same thing. There is now an artificial delay probably to prevent players from having any sort of edge.

Going to try this for sure but recently they have made a rule such that you cannot zoom the window otherwise it will just disable stream. I used to watch a lot of streams at bet365 but it is nearly impossible to watch in that small window, I hope your method works.

I fully agree with the delay in streams, earlier the streams were far ahead and some players used to take advantage of it in sports like tennis where odds change within a few seconds and having an advantage used to give players the edge. Now almost all the streams are delayed but still, bet365 is one of the best sites to watch sports even if they are not as far ahead as before.

Check my opening post. I have described how you can adjust the stream window however you want by using Mozilla Firefox, or using the Maximize Flash Video add-on available both for Chrome and Firefox. If you don't like installing unnecessary add-ons (I know I don't) just stick with the Firefox method. It's easier.

streaming on bet365. For those who have never used bet365, in order to watch their streams, you need to register an account, deposit money into it, and for some sports, make a bet on the match you want to live stream.

Do you mean to say if a newbie dosent deposit and place a bet after creating an account he/she can't access the livestreaming option of bet365, but I feel in actual sense livestreaming is meant to be free since data is been consumed all the way or could this be another avenue to generate more fund from the site just asking for clarification since I haven't streamed a match using bet365 and might likely consider using it if it's features seem appealing, attractive and affordable

That's correct. You can't view their streams if you have never deposited money on the site or placed a bet at one point in time. 

but I feel in actual sense livestreaming is meant to be free since data is been consumed all the way or could this be another avenue to generate more fund from the site just asking for clarification since I haven't streamed a match using bet365 and might likely consider using it if it's features seem appealing, attractive and affordable

Live streaming isn't free. Don't compare bet365's services to those free and pirated live streams. Bet365 pays money to broadcasters to have access to streamed matches and expects the same from its customers. It's a for-profit organization interested in generating revenue, not a humanitarian organization providing a community service.

I am using bet365 live streaming to watch some matches, but it do consume datab a lot, also is the other one which is just a representation of where football is being passed to on the football field, but the live streaming gives the best experience. The delay is not that much, with the matches I have watched are not more than 10 second delay.

One thing that came to my mind was to try and use the opportunity to manipulate live betting, but the dalay did not allow such manipulation to be possible. The delay is simply because of the people that bet not to manipulate the matches staked.

It depends on the person I guess. if you are watching the match on a multishared IPTV server, the delay could be anywhere from 40 seconds to over a minute if the provider is a very bad one. Compared to that, 10 seconds is nothing. But if you have a regular TV channel that is several seconds faster than the bet365 stream, and many are, a 10 seconds delay is huge.

One thing that came to my mind was to try and use the opportunity to manipulate live betting, but the dalay did not allow such manipulation to be possible. The delay is simply because of the people that bet not to manipulate the matches staked.

That will never work. Sportsbooks have foreseen such possibilities. There is a delay with the acceptance of livebets of 6-8 seconds. That's because the system is checking if anything happened in the match that affects the markets and odds. If something is detected, your bet will get rejected.

This is actually a really good guide and thread for those who are new to bet365 and don't understand how to watch streams and more useful for even experienced players who are aware of how the stream works but don't quite know how to zoom, enlarge and pop out the window to watch it fullscreen.

Earlier years back when I first played at bet365 I remember you could just simply zoon the page and shift the page accordingly to make the stream almost full screen. In fact most ATP and WTA matches I used to watch there and bet on sportsbet haha

I am glad someone (Pmalek great work really!) has put the efforts and created a proper guide on it!

Yeah, that option was available in the past. You could zoom in and manipulate the screen according to your liking. But then they made it impossible to do that because it automatically stopped the stream. Luckily, it's no longer needed because full-screen mode is now available.

I used to watch some Serie A matches by zooming in back in the days when I didn't have better options and more choices for televised football.
