We make live bets correctly

Live bets are the bets that the bettor can make during the game. According to the latest statistics, nine out of ten people who are addicted to sports predictions bet live. Almost every bookmaker office provides its clients with such an opportunity. The most popular bookmakers today carefully approach the development of the live line: they follow the smallest changes in the match, and immediately reflect this on the numbers in the line.

The essence of real-time betting

The user gets the opportunity to bet on a particular event by choosing the maximum odds. It is enough to carefully monitor the events in the match in order to understand what moment is the most appropriate for a bet. 

Example: football. Before the starting whistle, the odds for the winning of the stronger team are 1.6. After the end of the first half, the score remains equal, the bookmaker concludes that the original outsider is capable of fighting with dignity. As a result, the coefficient for the favorite rises. If the same favorite concedes a goal at the start of the second half, the number of his success will increase even more. As a result, from the starting odds of 1.6, it turns out to be 2.5. This moment is optimal in order to put on the success of a stronger team. As a rule, in such situations, strong teams begin to press, equalize the score, and then snatch the victory.

Psychology of live

Live is the most gambling and popular direction in betting, about 80% of all bets are received by bookmakers during the game. Live betting in psychology is not suitable for everyone. It happens that even very experienced prematch players start literally pouring in live. To play live, certain qualities are required: 

• Stress resistance; 
• Ability to quickly calculate and make decisions; 
• Composure, ability to control emotions and excitement; 
• Multitasking . 

It is important to develop a clear plan for the live session, identify a specific bankroll and set specific financial goals. A game without a plan, goal and strategy is almost doomed to a quick drain of the bank. Unless you are very lucky, which happens infrequently.

What to bet on live?

Each person prefers a particular sport. Someone perfectly understands football. Someone likes hockey or basketball. As a rule, one player specializes in a particular direction. However, there are some bettors who show themselves well in a couple of disciplines at once. And here there are two options: this is a professional who has been in betting for many years, or a beginner who has not fully decided on the best sport for himself. If a beginner in a number of disciplines has good statistics at once, most likely luck is on his side.

It is important to choose your niche, your sport, or even better, a specific league. If you have a narrow specialization, then it is quite possible to outplay the bookmaker's line by placing bets at the most profitable odds. 

It is also very convenient to implement exchange trading methods in live. For example, you can offset a prematch bet made with the desired profit (hedging). Or use scalping tactics - making a quick small profit from a trade and moving on to the next one.

Choosing an office

The choice of offices for live and for classic bets is different. 

If you want to bet in the bookmaker only in real time, you need to pay attention to the following nuances:

• How quickly bets are placed and how stable the odds are. If there are delays in the registration, the bet may be passed at the wrong odds. 

• Stability of the resource. 

• Maximum bet limits on the sports you are interested in in live. 

• Availability of a mobile application for different operating systems. 

• It is equally important that the bookmaker does not kill the odds in live. Many companies sin by increasing their live margin to cosmic values ​​of 10-15% for almost all events. It is almost impossible to beat such a margin at a distance and it is worth giving up the services of such a bookmaker. 

• It is of great importance that the bookmaker has special live tools: automatic confirmation of coefficient change, delayed bet, bet buyback , quick bets in one click and so on. The more such tools there are, the more comfortable players will feel in live. 

• Some bookmakers are now introducing modern live centers on their websites. They contain huge amounts of statistical data from suppliers and, in terms of functionality, are not inferior to large portals like flashscore. This is very convenient, because you can analyze events without leaving the bookmaker's website.

How to play live correctly?

As in the case with regular bets, a well thought out strategy is needed here. For many players, the best option will be a fixed percentage of the bet, or a fixed amount of the bet. If the bettor chooses a specific strategy, you should not retreat from it under any circumstances. This is the only way to have a stable income. If in hockey a team won the first period, and the tennis player took the first set, this does not mean that they have already won the match. Comebacks in sports happen regularly and these are the best situations for betting live. These are the things that you can make the most profitable bets on. 

The best strategy for playing live is to combine it with pre-match analytics. It is worth highlighting several matches for yourself in advance, carefully analyzing them and understanding what you can expect from them. It is even possible to make preliminary bets prematch, if there are prerequisites for profitable surebets or middles. 

And only then sit down directly to watch the events, preparing the remaining pot for making the most profitable bets already during the game. 

For example, you bet on less than total in Serie A. The second half is in full swing, but the teams still can't score. It's time to pick up TB for an excellent coefficient and calmly move to another match - here the profit is already guaranteed. If there is a goal, and there are all the prerequisites for the next one, you can cover the initial bet with the least losses and, again, move on to the next match.

Forks in live

There is an opinion that it is unrealistic to catch the fork in live, but this is not the case. Moreover, the most profitable surebets can be caught in live, because the situation on the field is constantly changing, which means that the odds do not stand still either. Bookmakers simply do not have time to change the odds one after another. 

Matches in many sports are played according to a swing scenario, and players with good experience often make bets during the game on opposite outcomes with odds higher than three and even more. Sometimes, even corridors are obtained in which some profit on both leverage is already guaranteed, and when it falls into a certain range, both bets can play.

Summarizing

For a live game to be successful, it is not enough to find a suitable bookmaker's office. You need to create optimal conditions for your live session: set aside a couple of hours during which nothing will distract you, the computer and the Internet should be as fast as possible. You can start playing only in a calm, balanced state. Only in such comfortable conditions can you count on productive work in live. 

 Some work needs to be done even before the starting whistle: to study the lineups, performers' uniforms, weather conditions, statistics of recent matches and much more. Only knowing all the subtleties and nuances, adhering to the chosen strategy, having a clear plan for the session, you can achieve success both in classic bets and in live mode.
