Live sports betting at the 1xBet bookmaker

Live sports betting: basic information

Live sports betting is dynamic, because the odds literally react to what is happening in the match. This makes the forecasting process exciting. The main difference is that the acceptance of coupons starts only after the start of the event.
Among other features:

• many markets. In addition to the standard ones, there are special ones. Their list depends on the popularity, significance of the event and the specific sport;
• hedging. Live bets allow you to partially or fully compensate for losses from previous bets;
• high involvement. In order to react to what is happening, you need to watch the match or fight. This also makes betting more exciting and provides an adrenaline rush.

The bookmaker offers live betting on various sports. But the most popular are football, tennis, boxing, hockey, basketball.

Changing odds in live betting

The odds in live sports betting change constantly, which is due to the dynamics of the game. A goal, injury, refereeing, weather – all this and many other factors affect the balance of power and the possible result. Bookmakers offering live betting constantly monitor and promptly adjust the odds.

In addition, the indicators in the line are influenced by betters’ forecasts. A mass live bet on football or another sport, but on a specific outcome, changes the odds. The bookmaker’s task in this case is to balance the bet to minimize their own risks.

Betters who can “read” the game and react quickly will be able to make the most successful live bet.

Pros and cons of live betting

Life bets have a number of advantages and disadvantages. It is important to understand them before choosing this type of forecasting. Pros:

• monitoring the game process and, if necessary, quickly reacting to changes – injuries, disqualifications, worsening weather, etc.;
• adjusting odds. During the game, the favorite and the underdog can change roles many times. This is especially noticeable in sports such as basketball, volleyball;
• quick result. The calculation occurs almost immediately after the end of the event;
• pre-match bet insurance if the game develops unfavorably;
• viewing the event. This brings additional pleasure.

Disadvantages: less choice of events, high margin, rapid change in odds that you can’t keep track of. There are also low limits and emotionality, which can prevent you from looking at what is happening objectively, especially if your favorite team is playing.
