Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet?

[Pierre 2]

I think betting on live game is more "pro" thing to do. Most people I see rather bet on games hours before they are played. I think it's very fun experience trying to bet on live games. You can find opportunity to hit crazy odds through live betting. But its not very suggested. As I said that its to be tried when you really know performances and players/teams. Otherwise you can end up losing money.

First, it depends on the timeline.
For example, most of the games that I watch are in the mornings and sometimes worst, super early mornings. So, I won't be able to do any live betting at that hour as I am still asleep so I input my bets before I go to bed.
But whenever I know a game is coming up and I will be able to watch it, I do try to put some bets while it is ongoing especially if I knew that my early bet is going to lose. Chasing losses, which is not recommended. This is only for those who know their game and I did make a lot of wins by doing so. In fact, there are times that my early bets are on a losing streak and I find myself making profits during live bets.
In my case, if I know I am going to be present before the game starts, it's better to input the bets. Sometimes the changes in odds are to the gambling site's advantage so it's not a good option too.

Betting on sport itself is for the people that have knowledge about sport betting, be it betting before the match started or in-play. If you can be able to make the right analyses to bet on sport matches, betting on in-play will be very simple because no more knowledge requires than to watch few in-play for sometimes and see how they are. I mean watching for sometimes to have better knowledge and experience about it.

Only what I see more about in-play is that it can cause more addiction because football are played from morning till late night which will end with matches in the North and South Americans like clubs in Brazil, Argentina and Maxico. Through a single match, some can stay checking the odds that will favour. But it is very risky than it sees to be, very tricky and punters that have just started may not know until they see themselves losing.

In-play sometimes is beyond performance of players teams, it goes to what the match statistics is showing too, but a match could be changed in a way a team that were playing not good before may later play better and win while after the second team was leading before.

it's really interesting as argument of discussion. It should be needed to weigh the pros and cons of these activities.
It is necessary to understand what goals you want to achieve and how confident you feel about it

I personally use two modus operandi:
- I place half a pre-live trade and another live trade (to try and get a better quote).
- or I place the bet entirely live to try to get a higher odds (there are all a number of reasons why the odds can go up during an event).

Thats also true. The only reason why I bet on the sport is because there are almost 30 matches happening everyday and though I have no enough knowledge of these athletes, the number of matches is enough to bet on to gamble whether I can make money out of it.

Premier League is all over the bookies so just keep on betting on those bookies favourite players. Thats just the strategy for now.

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.

This decision can be personalized by each gambler to determine wether they select the games right before the start of the matches or rather bet once the match begin, for my own way of gambling, i prefer making adequate preparation before the match begins and make the games well presented right before the start of the match, this will give me enough time to select and plan the bet i want to make on each game as I've wanted to.

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

Definitely some match odds on the team changes sometimes as the game proceeds because once the match started, things are equally bound to change in the opposite way as expected which may cause them to make an adjustment on their odds as the match proceeds.

[TopTort777]

For me betting when game is already started is more preferable, as you can see how and which players play, their mood, selected strategy and etc. Making a bet before event started, this is similar to guessing, as prediction is made only using numbers on the paper. In combat sport, on the paper one can be a true favourite, while other is a heavy underdog, but in the ring or octagon they are skilled even.

[demonica]

I actually do both. Usually, I bet even if the game hasn't started yet since I'm confident that my bet will win. But even though I bet early, I still watch the game for some thrill and excitement. Another reason for me to watch the game is if I think the team I bet on is winning, I can still increase my bet on them.

 At the same time, I still look for some live games, then I will check the team with the higher odds if they have a chance of winning before the game ends. If there's still a higher chance of it, I take the risk of betting. But sometimes when the game starts late in our time, I still bet then I will just look at the result once I woke up.

I have done the reciprocal betting trick, in the middle of the game or before the game takes place, I have also placed bets at the end of the 80' minute, it's still a win based on luck, all the tricks i've ever done, sometimes win and sometimes lose, that's gambling and one game, nothing is certain, just instinct and sheer luck, especially sports betting.

I remember yesterday the bet I made on Portugal U21 vs Netherlands U21, at first I bet on Portugal U21 with a bet of 1.80, they scored a goal in the 20th minute' by A. Almeida, after the game had lasted 50 minutes I changed my mind, this match will end in a draw bet x increases to 10.50/1 dollar, the end of the story I put in a draw for the two teams, luck was on my side, the end of the match between Portugal U21 vs Netherlands U21 (1-1) B. Brobbey scored in the 78th minute' finally I lost the initial bet for Portugal U21 and won a draw (1-1). Don't get me wrong, my prediction is that some have bad luck, not all of them are lucky, the initial bet lost and I won midway through the tie bet.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I have tried betting before the game started on several occasions and I must say most times I almost loose sleep when the game begins and my slip or game has failed. Most times I would double the slips or games before the games in a manner of spreading my eggs in several baskets. Still, both games would fail, even more than I can remember.

Betting on the live game before first half is over and also for second half has been a revelation to many of us bettors who have access to online betting services with such features. We don't get to loose out entirely, we are more entitled to bonuses that we can use for future betting too.

From my experience, I usually prefer to bet before the match starts. As far as I know also, some betting platforms close their betting deals once the game starts which makes it impossible to bet. Though this happens rarely, I mostly encounter this situation.

In addition, I find myself winning every time I stick to my gut. I do not change my bets and prefer to bet whenever a certain timeframe is given for us to place the wagers.

I find this interesting- I might try and explore other sports betting websites that offer bettings that can be changed during the game. Most of the ones that I have tried had locked once the game starts.

it depends on the top teams playing or not and on the teams I know or not. if the match is the top team I already know I will bet before the match starts because the odds will definitely be higher on the underdog.
but if the match is not the top team and I don't know that team yet I will bet when the match is on to determine which team will win.
It's pretty easy but sometimes people complicate their minds.

[darkangel11]

I usually bet before the match begins. Betting during the game makes me more distracted and I can't watch in peace, I just keep thinking if I should maybe change the bet. I tell myself that when I bet on a team, or a player, I stand behind them from the beginning until the end and there's no way to change it. Also, bets made during the match usually pay less, so it's better to make your choice before it starts.

[electronicash]

when you bet while the game is live, may mean he is not sure who to bet or he doesn't know who those players are. there are games that i do this like tennis but when it comes to basketball and i already know who could win the game, i would bet already before the game start.

bookmakers such as Stake sometimes suspend the betting already when they see one team is obviously winning. Sportsbet is probably doing the same.

[Helena Yu]

After all it depends on the chance of which team or fighter could win.

The odds always change based on the possibility of which team of fighter will win, you can take advantage by bet on Real Madrid to win on 89th minutes where the odds Real Madrid to win is really high since the match looks like they wouldn't win, but there's miracle happen where Rodrygo and Benzema score many goals in the injury times.

Either live or before the game hasn't started aren't really different.

Yes, I also do the same thing as you bet before the match starts because it won't be inconvenient when the match takes place and starts even though it's the same risk before and after it makes no difference, but I personally bet on sports betting like football on weekends usually while watching my matches while playing casino games like Limbo using Auto bet to make it easier to watch matches while playing Limbo.

I like to gamble on weekends not a gambler who is active all the time and gambles because I am a busy worker every weekday, so there is only weekends to find fun in casinos and sports betting , not to make money or multiply money, but just looking for fun, if you win, consider it a bonus, but if you lose, consider that I was unlucky that day. but before gambling, make sure we have to bet using money that we can afford to lose.

It’s really good to bet on live games if that is possible but some sports like e-sports doesn’t support live games on some picks since most of their bets can be concluded within few minutes after the game start but if there is a chance then betting on live gives an advantage bettors it’s easy to analyze the game based on current stats compared to the old statistics.

The only disadvantage that I can see on live bets is you are susceptible for comitting an impulse bets or bets that you are just pressured to place due to the time constraint.

While betting on live match gives us a better perspective of the match, it still depends on individual's preferences.
If you are really not sure of how the teams would perform then you might consider waiting for the match to begin.
Once the match is started you are few minutes in then you can decide which team is performing well and bet accordingly.

On the other hand, if you are very sure and your gut feeling says a particular team will win they you can go ahead to place bet on that team.
Also, if you have no clue about both the teams then you can also consider randomly placing a bet although it will just be pure luck if you win.

It is a valid strategy as well. I will only talk about soccer/football bacause I have more knowledge
Many times you can wait around 10 to 15 minutes to find out how the teams are playing. Most of the time you can draw a good conclusion and have a good estimate if the match will have many goals or not, who is stronger or if there were any surprises in the line-up
But in this strategy the difficult thing is that during the break, the coaches can change the way they play and a team can improve a lot or change the tactics completely, especially with top coaches like Guardiola or Ancelotti who can change the game in the second half, so there's some context to the match you have to consider

So it can be a strategy, but it is difficult. I don't usually do this.

[Pandu Geddon]

I usually bet on matches that will start in a few hours. I don't know that Odds will also be variable in this situation. except when the match starts and the odds reflect the statistics of the competing teams.
that's because I have also bet on matches that have entered halftime. The odds look convincing enough, but in sports, sometimes there are lots of unexpected surprises that make a score reversal.
it is possible that some gamblers like live betting. but I mostly bet before the matches start.
