Live Betting solutions
I will now present you with some of the methods use in live betting.
Betting on number of goals/points
One of the preferable special bets in the world of sports betting is betting on number of goals or points. Pre-match bet is good, but playing it live is even better. As we said, the starting point is to choose your sport. Say you choose a basketball.
When the match starts odds are slowly moving up or down, from a point of where they have been before the match. The first quarter ends 15:21, and limit for number of points is now set on 144.5 instead of the starting 162.5.Why is that? Bookies use an average function just like an excel one. First quarter ended with the total of 36 points, and if we assume that rest of the quarters will have the same number of points, we end up with 144 points on average. Normally, if second quarter ends with higher or smaller number it will take an average of those two and so on.
Anyway, we watched the game and analyzed that the match is rather fast-going. Defense was really bad in both teams and first quarter had a low points only because the shot efficiency was low.
Betting live to guard against pre-match bets
Say you had a $100 pre-match bet on Team A to win against Team B at 2.0 odds for a possible return of $200. The sport is basketball.
You are watching the game, a really tight one. Team A is leading most of the match but Team B is keeping close to them.
Third quarter ends with Team A leading by 6 points. The odds for team A to win would be around 1.5 then and Team B to win around 2.5
You are not really sure that Team A is going to win and if it match ends in a draw or Team B winning you will lose $100.
The odds for a draw or Team B to win would be around 2.2 To guard against possible loss on your pre-match bet, you place a $90 bet at 2.2 odds for a return of $198. So you placed a total of $190 bet on a game for a possible return of either $200 or $198. Either way, you win.
