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

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.

Well, if the platform allows you to cash out in the middle of the match, you can get easy money off of it. It may not be as big as you can get, but there's still some money to be had on it. The flexibility of live betting is what makes it more attractive to bettors. You can know which guys in the team are out in the last minute, and who will be the replacement if any. The fixed odds offered by pre-game bets however, are also good especially if you are betting on an underdog that performed unexpectedly well in a game that they're not supposed to be on top.

I prefer to bet on a game way before it started.  I observed that odds are better during those times.  While live game maybe more exciting I also find the odds during the live game drastically changes to worse especially when the favorite is leading.  Aside from that betting on live game can upset us when are watching the game and think that we are sure about who will win is then bet on that team but eventually the result is the opposite.

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 I can say it's more stressful especially if you bet on a different side.

Well the sense of placing a bet is to win and I don't see anything as being bet on a favourite club and not on the possibility of winning the match,  even if I am a fan of a club,  once I am sure that their opponent is stronger than them and have high chances to win the match,  I will select the potential club against my favourites clubs because of my ticket to win.

Live games have been the most helpful in sport betting and I have won a lot of bets using that feature at least it gives you the chance to predict the outcome of the match easily most especially when the match is already in the second half,  the possibility to win becomes high.

You know everyone is having the strategy that's working for him, so you will have to go for what's working for you. When am gambling, I prefer placing my bet before matches that are yet to start, am always taking my time and choosing the games which I will be betting on, but immediately a match have started and I decide to place a bet, then I will end up losing, I don't really know the cause maybe its because am not always settled at that moment so am always losing, since I notice am always getting it wrong then I stopped it because I was just wasting money on it. Before any match start I will take my time and select the teams which I will be betting on, if the matches start, I will just keep on monitoring my bet.

Really depends on the situation if the game or fight is so tight then I may have to cast my bet during live and one more reason about that is there might be some sudden movement about the lines during live mainly if the suspected outcome is not that likely to happen.

But when I'm somehow confident about who will be the winner then that is the time to cast my bet much earlier as at that time, there could be some great odds especially if I'm rooting for the underdog(s) to upset the favorite(s). Other reason why I will have my bets in advance is if I have some scheduled errands later that day.

Each of these has its own challenges. Maybe if I had lots of money and was used to it, I'd do both. because usually if you make a bet before the game and the results match or are close, the results will be bigger and very profitable. But this is how it is, high gain, high risks. Vice versa if betting during the game, especially when it is nearing the end, there may be less risk but also less gains.

Live betting can be fun if you watch the match live. You can evaluate the current form of a player or team, changes in tactics or injuries that occur during a match. For example, if one team is the clear favorite but the weaker team is lucky enough to score an early goal, the odds can change drastically giving you an advantage over if you had placed a pre-match bet. But as others have mentioned, it really depends on the specific case and your betting strategy. I generally only use live betting if I'm watching a game at the same time.

Matches that are far from the day it will hold use to have large odds prior to the day it will happen, this is because the event is yet to capture too much attention and so predictions are always difficult and then the bookies will placed big odd to attract bettors to make drastic decisions because of greed in their odds and as the event reach the day, it get reduce because people already knows who will win and who will lost, they also do that to reduce their own risk of losing money to you. That's why in that day, you will be seeing something like 1.2 odd, 1.11 odd and if the team you are betting on is having 70% winning chances, you may see odds as small as 1.01 odds.

I usually play with pre-match bets, not usually live. I'd much rather see the result AFTER the match, and not bother myself with the changes that occur related to my bets during the match. I've tried it a few times before, it was a huge pain in the ass especially since I enjoy watching the game themselves. Worrying about my bet while watching? Not so much. Granted in those few times I have tried to play with live bets, so a big change to odds isn't something unknown to me (another factor why I don't do live).

The odds will automatically reduce in half or more when a game begins - but certainly, a good gambler can easily predict a win from when a game is started already... It stands like an advantage sometimes and in most cases of very sure wins, those options aren't available.
I would prefer betting on live games too... The feeling when a game has begun -say, 30 minutes ahead is always different,.... Most times, you'll wager on a game based on the club's previous performances but other tims, most games are not guaranteed.

I'd whatever I think is gonna make me win, I don't have a favorite on them but I just cast bets when I think that I've got a better feeling and the odds are quite reasonable.

Especially in Dota 2 games, I know that I've got an idea on the teams and players and also watching out some specific news if there's a player that won't be able to play and a stand-in will come for their live match.

So, any will do as long as I've got a good percentage and accuracy.

[harapan]

Actually for me it depends on the game.
There are some games that looks really unpredictable even when the match is on. These kind of matches are very difficult when playing a live bet. Another bad thing about the live bet option is that, the likely outcome comes with very small odds so you have to stake high. If you go for the bigger odds then you're taking more risk. What's funny is that that option with very big odd might have been a very small odd before the game.
In live bet you have to always follow the game so you'll know how to bet, it requires more attention.
I play both options but I feel placing your bet before the game is better for me because I can just sit back and enjoy the game after betting.

[Strongkored]

More when the match hasn't started compared to live bets, only do Live bets when I'm quite sure that there are very attractive odds that I can take a chance on, or when I forget to place a bet and the match has already started, for example during the NBA finals, I sometimes forget to place a bet and when the match starts with the favorite team lagging behind the point, the odds are really more tempting than pre-match bets, but the odds change often so quickly and not always live bets and also pre-match bets provide more benefits, because the two cannot be compared and bettors have their own respective preferences.

It really depends though, if the odds of the team that I'm going to bet is not that attractive, then maybe I will wait till the game progresses and see how it goes. Maybe the team that you are going to be bet might not play good and become the underdog in the first half and then come back strong and win.

So sometimes its really better to do live betting as far as my experience goes, specially in NBA, just like what the Miami Heat did in their playoff run. They are always the underdog so good for them to bet. But there are times that when you thought that they are going to lose the game, they will suddenly do the catchup and so the odds goes up very high and if you bet on them and they win on their comeback, going to be like 4.x and up winnings.

Different timezone forces me to bet before the match. If I don't like the pre-match odds and if the time coincides with my schedule then I'm most likely to bet on live. It happens often when the team that are huge favorite before the game falls behind early or within the first half. I really like it when the odds quickly change when the underdogs take the lead.

[iv4n]

Well, both pre-match and live betting have their advantages. In the case of pre-match betting, we have a chance to carefully analyze both teams and make a prediction based on that research. I like that approach and I enjoy analyzing statistics and trends before I place a bet. On the other hand, live betting offers a more dynamic experience, especially in a game with many goals on both sides (I mostly bet on football, and I make live bets only on football games).

So both are good... sometimes it's good to research games and place a bet, and sometimes it's good to place a bet while you watch a game and you get a "feeling". I am more of a pre-match bettor, I like parlays, but from time to time I place some live bets.

[_act_]

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.

But there is a chance that you may not take the bet again if the stronger team is winning already at the beginning. Live matches also happens in a way that those odds that is growing bigger as the match is going to 90 minutes are the odds that their prediction is not likely to happen, although it can happen, but in a way that bettors will not want to go for such odds.

But I do it like yours too, even when I have little money and I have time to bet when the match has started already, I can wait for like 10 to 15 minutes after the match start to bet on the team I think would win, but the disadvantage is what I have said, that if the team score early, the odd drops instead, in a way you will be discouraged to bet on such club because of the odd that has fallen abruptly almost to it lowest.

It depends on whether I'd be available to watch the game or not, in cases where I am occupied I simply just place my bet on my preffered team and leave the game but whenever I know I am free I do always bet on live game, it enables me make some die minutes decision that improves my chances of winning.

I have always had more wins when I bet on live matches than when I just place my bet and come back to view my bet ticket... So if I'm to vote for anyone it would be the live matches.

I prefer placing a bet before the beginning of the game immediately after my pre-match analysis with a target of 2.0 to 4.0, I place a my bet and close my App till the final game, though I occasionally bet on first half draw, Strong team to score in first half etc, all those bets are played before the commencement of the match, I never play a live bet when the game had already started because I don't have much knowledge of it, though I use to win as well as lose some of my bets, however I hope to start live betting on inplay live games beginning from next season  I will research on how to play bet on those inplay games and likely chances of winning the bets.

If you want to get extra money, you can bet while the match is in progress, even though that has risks too, because there are no bets that are not risky, maybe when the match takes place, we can enjoy the tension that we feel while watching, besides that, we can also see the game that is taking place. strategy of opposing forces.

I personally actually prefer to bet before the match starts because it has higher odds than the odds during the match, as you can see sometimes the odds change during the match can be higher and can even be smaller. that's why I'm not too interested in betting during the match because it's too complicated for me personally, my advice is to bet before the match starts.
