Cast your bet in a match that have yet not started or bet when the game is already live?
It must have been asked before but in case new sports bettors have not yet read such thread, reply back your opinion about it.

Found myself losing when the money line changes from 1.75 to 4.35 as the game began. But sometimes when I also wait for the game to start, it changes to worse such from 1.75 to 1.10

I prefer going live for a match that is likely to end 0-0 at half time and then waiting until it gets to 60 mins and going in for over 0.5 goals if the game is still goaless at 60mins, the least odd you can get at this time is BTW 1.50- 1.57 depending on the league, most top leagues offer 1.50 in this case. That's a 50% return on your investment, and it works for me 80% of the time. It's a great strategy, but it takes time. It will not make you rich immediately, but your chances of winning are always 95-98%.

If the money line is less than 1.30, it climbs to 1.50-1.80 if the game is still goaless after 30 minutes, however live matches are good if you are only staking on a single game. If you want to run a multibet, place your bet before the game begins.

If you think a club or a team would win a certain match, you can wait for the live matches to start, the longer it takes to score the first goal, the higher the odds become. This is what I like going for with in-play matches. For other in-play, I do not like going for them.

People should be careful of in-play matches, they are faster to win, which means to lose too is faster. And losing is very common.

What can be most dangerous in in-play are underdog that may be winning with like 2 goals, the big team losing odd will be increasing and the small team odd will be decreasing. But this does not only happen to big teams. It can be big and big team too, or small and small team or any team. It can happen to any club in a way the winning team will have small odd that may attract gamblers, but many of the rematches go otherwise in a way the gambler might lose.

As a sports bettor, you should really expect that change of line while the match is approaching. Especially, of course, in live betting.

But I'm more curious about your example. Do you mean the moment the game began, the pre-match odds from @1.75 turned to @4.35? As in when the game began? The jump of odds is quite distant and these are the possible scenarios that I think happened to your concern:

- Maybe the status of those players under "game-time decision" or what would be called it in other sports, are now officially out when the game starts? But for that huge gap of odds when the game began, maybe those players are really key players or a "big deal" on that team

- Or maybe, you just think that the line moves when the game began but actually, the game was already started, maybe several minutes ago, and it was an early dominance by either one of the teams resulting in that quick jump of odds in the "live betting".

Personally, I don't have a single preference on whether to bet only in pre-match odds or during a live bet. Hey, both are worth trying.

If I don't have the time to watch the game (which I don't most of the time), I just leave a bet on the game on lines that I think would retain more value than other lines. If I have time, I prefer to bet on live and cash out immediately when I see that something is about to go wrong on my bet - kinda like preventing a loss before it occurs. Most casinos allow that on live bets and it's one of the safest ways to make money on sports betting that not a lot of people are aware of.

[BIT-BENDER]

It all depends on the odds and the capital you are willing to put out for it that's what sport bet, on days that I have more capital to gamble and I am not looking to take risk in my selection, I bet on the odd I believe is most likely to play out and then stake on it.

In cases where I have little Capital and actually want to make more out of the game, I wait let the game start playing out and then I stake on the best possibility that had increased odds after the game has started.

Betting on live games is what I preferred so that I can analyze the current condition of players or team since some players getting injured in-game or late announced injured that will destroy your bet if that player is a key player.

This is the beauty of betting live games, You have the choice to skip betting when odds went down significantly on both ways because you don't need to place any bets on games that you are already uncomfortable. I always use live games to bet strong teams that have a rough start to get a higher odds on prematch. This strong team will eventually recover later on that will give you high odds in return.

My way of betting is about 90% in placing the bets before the game and keeping them until the end.
Only on specific occasions I place a bet during the game, only if I see an opportunity, and only if I am following the match live

You have to be very controlled to place bets during the game and not get carried away by the emotion and make risky bets.
Everyone has their own strategy, but I get good results by simplifying my bets as much as possible. Usually my strategy is to bet on single wins, some specific championships I do multiple wins, and rarely do I bet on under or over goals.
This is where I get the best results.

The best is to place bets before the game has started if you are confident enough that this event that you have chosen to bet on will be a winner and also all predicting websites,news,analyses says the same and back your choice.

I personally prefer to bet on live games as I don't like trying my luck before the game has started,I also choose games that I can watch on live streams,nowadays almost all leagues even low ones you can find stream for them and while I watch the game I create an idea in my mind as what the best bet will be,usually I play with over/under goals most of the time in live games or total goals from a specific team.

[bitzizzix]

Live betting is great for those who like to increase the tension and excitement of watching live games, and besides that, live betting can be very profitable and fun, especially if you are good at making quick decisions.
and I prefer live betting because with live betting, I can easily realize how different the game is once it starts and this will make me serious and tense while watching, and I value the difference more when watching live.

When a game starts and you see how the the dynamics of the game, you can have an idea of what the final outcome of the game can be if you are properly able to observe how the game is going. I can cast my bet on a live game on that condition where I missed making the prediction or analysis for the game before the game started. I do not do it all the time, but only at times when I know that the outcome of the game can be predicted from how I notice and observe the game to be going.

Me too, I just want to see how these team will work in the first part of the game and then that's where will I decided to bet . Been doing betting before the game but end up losing, I always bet in esports in which what team will get the first kill etc. But now I realized I let them start playing on live before making decision because you will see the glimpse of their strategies.

You may have a point on this, seeing them live will give you a hint how they will perform with the rest of the game.
However, expect the odds will change as well. So don't expect too much about the selection of odds.
But if you happen to bet before the start of the game and you are seeing a different results once the game is playing,
you can always cash out, if the bookie is still allowing you to cash out, at least not losing much from your bet.
Because there's only time duration where you can cash out your bet, otherwise, wait for the result of the game.
And this decision depends on the sports you are into, and how well you know the athletes involve.

[Slow death]

in my opinion it depends on each person's strategy, for example in cases of games in the main leagues, I'm talking about the premier league, la liga, serie A, bundesliga and liga1, if you are watching it on tv you will see that there are some small delays and if if you are watching on the internet, you can also run the risk of crashing and spending a long time waiting to resume, and this affects a little when placing bets, now if the games are broadcast in the casino itself, because there are some leagues with the usa league and the NBA and some others that are broadcast in casinos

so it may be easier for you to bet, but that is if you have already done an analysis of the game and you have seen that team x is better but you need confirmation, and in order to have that confirmation you will have to watch the game live for a few minutes, now on the over and under goals market it may be more advantageous to place live bets. it all depends on what kind of market you feel most comfortable with. In my case I use both options. but in the case of the big soccer leagues I always place bets before the games and now with the holidays in the big leagues I don't have anything to bet on, I tried to bet on the games of these small leagues but I'm doing very badly

This is so me! 

Most of the time i do really miss out on watching a certain game live on which even i do make out a bet then most of the time i do just simply trying to see if those bets did won or lose.
If i do have that vacant time or something that it would really be in great timing on which there's nothing something been doing then i might really be able to check out and see it live.
I do make out bets before the game or it hasnt started yet.I dont really like on betting on something which odds do keeps on changing as the game goes on.
I do want to be fixed because you do know on what would be your potential winning if the match is over and not something that you would be expecting some good
odds but later on it did make out some adjustments.

Betting on a live match can be so confusing to betting on games that haven't started yet. Cause the live games is where the odds makers find it easy to deceive gamblers by making up a high  deceptive odd in favor of a team that could end up losing the game. One of the most disadvantage of betting in live game is that of not been privy to certain information about an on going match that the gambling site have already gotten knowledge of and then use odds to attract glambers in betting for it only to end up having a backlash in the play, by then the gambler has already placed the bet. So I prefer betting on a game before it kick off after making my analysis and getting my strategy in place.

Usually it's not so good to bet when matches have started because live bets have often big margins, so odds can drop from 1.75 to 1.71 for example just because the scheduled time of the beginning of the match has been reached, even if players haven't started to do anything. Bets with fix odds allow you to bet at the current instant without having to think about how actual probabilities will change till the beginning (or till the end if live betting is available) of the match.

Live betting are for those who are seeking for more excitement and wants to earn more.
Personally, I prefer to bet before the game started since that’s the concept of prediction for me and I have to focus on the game so I don’t want to get disturb just because I have my bet especially if I’m watching the game live as well. Though there are times where I bet during the match but I can say its more stressful especially if you bet on a different side.

[DaNNy001]

Better on live games its still way risky than actually betting on events and games that haven't started yet. But the facts is that betting on any match is also a risk because no one knows the possible outcome of the  game. Sometimes I have when betting on live games end up being more frustrating than usual because sometimes the moment you place your bet on a match which money line is a 1.50 odds at half time the outcome might eventually change the moment you place the bet.

[klidex]

I would prefer to bet before the match starts.
Because I really like things that make myself curious and doing independent research before placing a bet and betting before the match starts for me it will be more profitable for me because the odds haven't changed quickly and we have plenty of time to do research.
If you bet when a match starts, the odds will always stop and when any club looks to win the odds will get worse and the profit you will get will be bad.
