Well, you are right that sometimes it works that when you are watching the game live, you can analyze the players and the teams and understand which team is performing better and has got more chances of winning the game, but, it sometimes backfires, and the team that seems to be in lead during the initial phase of the match, tends to fumble later on and the team which might be weaker manages to win against the side which is the favorite.

Even with checking the match statistics, you can know where the march might end to. Most people that are gambling on live matches depend more on checking the statistics as the match continues because they can not be watching all the matches at once and there are many live matches that you will not be able to watch. But there are some online betting sites that you can also watch the match directly but it will consume data. Watching the match can be good though, but checking the statistics as the match' goes on has been what I use most of the time.

It is true that a match can change. This has happened to me before. Not once or two times but plenty times. You can even see the match change around 80 to 90 minutes. Some matches may even not change but the opponent may just have a tiny opportunity which they do not misuse and just score. The score can even happened at the 3, 4, 5 to 10 minutes extra time give after 90 minutes to conclude the match as 90 minutes.

Stats save time, attention, and data. A worthy approach. How accurate and reliable are these statistics? Isn't "sampling bias" a risk here? Academia recognises that data may not accurately depict the situation. Do match statistics account for unanticipated events like weather changes, injuries, and disputed referee decisions? These elements can greatly impact matches

You mentioned last-minute, heart-stopping incidents. Last-minute goals or extra-time miracles? Don't they disregard all statistics? Statistics are useful, but unpredictable variables limit their applicability

You know how statistics work

But interestingly I think some of the variables like you mentioned (weather changes, injuries etc.) will be considered with new AI based models in the future. We are not there now (I think), but AI could scrape the data from the Internet and then adjust odds before the game starts based on any new information gathered and the calculated impact it may have on the game.

But placing bets during the game can also be fun. I guess most here know what kind of situations in a game can be an indicator for a turn around of one team or other important events. That's why I usually try to have some funds on the platform to make a quick adjustment bet if it seems to be appropriate to me. But there will remain a factor of coincidence that not even improved AI models will ever be able to predict.

The main problem with live betting is that if you place a bet before an event starts you cannot adjust your bet to the changing odds. This is a major problem because sports betting odds often change with the state of a match. If emotions get out of hand and place a bet a few days before the game, you risk your bet because there could be a change in the team or an injury could have a negative effect on the team you have chosen as your favorite team.

We gamble with high stakes since it is the only way we may generate enormous returns from the system. For me, the English Premier League is my favorite league to bet on; I've already chosen a number of teams whose performance I'm acquainted with, both mediocre and outstanding clubs. Manchester City remains first on my ranking of elite clubs, followed by Liverpool and Chelsea, and then Brentford, Newcastle, and Aston Villa for common clubs. Making precise predictions and strategizing on these clubs will always result in enormous earnings. To me, a live bet means smaller money; I prefer betting before the game since it keeps the odds high and the profits big.

As long as we can predict well and find a team with more potential to win than the opposing team, we can place bets before the match. But if not, we can place bets while the match progresses. Everything has advantages and disadvantages for gamblers, so they must know when to place their bets. And gamblers who are used to analyzing many matches will know what they will do and will not force themselves to keep placing bets if they are in doubt. But they can still place bets just for fun rather than considering the result.

I think it's better to bet on games before they start than betting on life games. Before games kicks off, one can carefully analyse how what could be the outcome of the match by going back to the performance of the teams you want to place a bet on . While on live betting, the match can be favouring a particular team and which will make someone to think that the better team in performance will win thereby betting on that team only to see a player from the better performing team pick up a red card which totally changes the atmosphere of the match.

Going by your analysis, have you not seen where teams performed very well in the previous game and fumble in the next game? The antecedent does not determine the out of the game. The team playing which team and the squad in a particular is the key factor that sometimes determines the outcome of the game. Live bet is way better than betting before kick off since you are watching and analyzing at the same time. You can easily predict the outcome.

That happens, maybe not very often but it does and I say that because it has happened to me on a couple of occasions, I didn't bet when the match was starting even when I knew which team is better, and when the match started, I saw that the favorite is having a big lead, so I went ahead and placed my bet, and surprisingly, the opponent won the match.

This is not what live bets are. Live bets are in-play matches. They are matches that have already started but punters can still continue to bet and the odds will be changing as the match starts. What you are talking about are matches that have not yet started.

You are not wrong though because it is good to check all the players before you place bet on a team, you have to make sure that all the players that you want to be there are there and playing. I can not forget a match I took in the past which was Juventus versus Parma when Juventus was very good and winning Seria A. Three of Juventus players did not play because the manager rested them for Champions League that was coming and they lost the match, yet the margin Juventus had, compared to the second position was still far.

We know that there are sudden news or events which could really make out that huge impact on a certain team specially if the match hasnt started up yet but on the time that it do make out such event then you do find out that there's some missing or starting players cant be able to play initially or the entire game because of such possible accident or injury which you might have missed on your radar on reading it
which it would really be affecting your winning probability.

When it comes on betting whether on in live bets or earlier then it would really be according into situations because there are conditions on which i do see some sure win on a specific game then i would really be
preferring on having that fixed odds because i dont really like on seeing those changing odds as the game is progressing but well it would really be that depending
on you since not all bettors does have the same preferences when it comes to this manner.

It is boring betting on a football match after it has started. The possibility of a wrong prediction is very high.

That statement reflects your personal perception, but in reality, there are many bettors who enjoy placing bets on games that are already in progress. While there may be larger betting volumes on pregame bets, live betting exists for a reason. It can be likened to trading, where you observe stocks that are experiencing a drop in value and take it as an opportunity to buy. Similarly, bettors seize opportunities when they arise without hesitation. However, it's worth noting that sometimes emotions can get out of control in these situations, which is not ideal.

In the first place, why will I have to wait for a match to start before having to bet on them? If there is a consciousness for me to even bet two months earlier on same game that I wanted to bet when it starts, then I will gladly do it because there are more chances of having more odds and bigger wins and Cash out.
I really want to know what will prompt a player to wait until start of match before betting on such a match? I hope to get some responses.

Quote from: klidex on June 25, 2023, 03:29:07 PM

I would prefer to bet before the match starts.
Because I really like things that make myself curious and doing independent research before placing a bet and betting before the match starts for me it will be more profitable for me because the odds haven't changed quickly and we have plenty of time to do research.
If you bet when a match starts, the odds will always stop and when any club looks to win the odds will get worse and the profit you will get will be bad.

If its not a virtual game, then I see no reason why we should be in a haste to play such games.
The only reason to me that might make me bet on a game when it already starts is if the game code was personally booked by my friend whom I trust his predictions so much and if the game is only about 5 to 10 minutes into the match else I'm letting it slip.

Most of the time when I prefer to go with the underdog my choice will be live betting, because during the match we'll get better odds so that the bet amount can be minimised and our luck can be tried. This at times brings luck and in such a stance I've won @10 odds, but those are very minimal bet amount. Other than this when the match is in critical situation, where any of the team could win I prefer making bets which will have high chance of wins.

Or maybe sometimes we lately found ourselves betting on games we didn't planned for due to some certain conditions arising that warrant for doing such, they may actually include friends influence, quick opportunity, set up match and personal desires that could help us plan the game we right before it begins, yet we still have to be dependent of luck to crown every effort made, the odds can also be an advantage in playing the bet right before the match begin and this is very common to all gamblers playing sport bettings in gambling.

Most of my bets are made before the games start. I felt more comfortable with it since I can do my assignment by making additional research apart from my own observations.

Although live game betting is also interesting. I had big wins before especially in NBA and DOTA where I am waiting for the underdogs to take a lead before making a bet on the favorite team prior to the start. Although sometimes it is annoying when odds changed a lot real quick and you cannot bet properly. It is actually one of the main reasons why I stop live betting. So I just made bets before the games start and then relax and watch the games more focused and more enjoyable since I am not trying to catch some odds that sometimes you cannot take.

You brought up an intriguing betting topic: pre-game versus live game. I see you prefer the former, approaching it like an architect, setting up a blueprint based on comprehensive research and good observation. Prudence and wisdom characterize this meticulous approach. Live betting is thrilling, as you indicated. It's like navigating a storm, where adaptability is crucial. NBA and DOTA victories demonstrate your game sense and fast thinking. However, the frequently changing odds can sometimes lead to more annoyance than pleasure. Like attempting to catch a butterfly, it's beautiful but elusive. It's excellent that you stopped live betting and just enjoyed the games. It demonstrates your maturity and love for the game outside of betting. Roll Eyes

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

I think, bet when the match is not yet start is the best tactic which it has been helping people not to loose so much money in their gambling because it help people to carry out their personal research to know the past performance of the both teams before betting. If you wait for the match to start before you can bet, it will lead you to miss your opportunity in that particular match, because you will bet base on the moment performance which is not reliable like betting before the match. I believe, you will continue to maintain good result in your betting, if you can apply that strategy betting before the match and it will help you not to worry too much when you know the two teams performance history.

It seems to me that a lot depends on what kind of match is being played. There are games where the favourites don't care about points or winning, but for the underdogs it's a matter of life. So if you bet during the game, after seeing how the teams play, it can make a profit.

Traditionally, in my family people mostly place sport bets before the game even starts. It must be because we use what we already know on the performance of the teams facing each other in order for us to get an idea on who is going to be victorious.

Of course that does not guarantee anything and it would be rather wiser to place the bet during the match, to see who is being favored, even if the odds or the chances of profit become small, still could be worth it.

Most people bet on pre games and based on the background knowledge their already have on the team and how their previously performed, so you are right by your family betting pattern.
But you should also know that beting on live games have been the most easiest predictions since you already know the extent of the teams performance in the game and most times I like staking on games when they already reached 50+ minutes into the game that way the players are already tired and whatever record their have that is what they will maintain for the rest of the games.

Many people make or place bets before the game starts. That will make it easier for us not to miss placing bets while we can leave it at that while doing other things. I also often do the same as you and after placing a bet, I busy myself with other things so I don't think about how it will turn out. And when I think the match is over, I'll check the result of the bet and if it's a win, I'll keep the money for another bet. And if I lose, I won't regret it because that's an amount I can afford.

And I rarely watch the games and prefer to check the results right away because I have many things to do. But if I didn't have anything to do on game day and could relax, I might watch it.

You are right and indeed it is better to bet when the match has started a few minutes or during the first half break because from there we can see the performance of the game to be able to predict the bets made, it's just that if you bet when the match has started we will get lower different odds if you place a bet at intervals before the match starts.
Seeing match statistics is very important to make more precise predictions.

However betting while the match has started is still not a guarantee that the bet will come to our favour. Gambling is such that table can turn around at any point. At all times we should guide our gambling pulse and not to over stake probably because we feel it will favour our bet and we throw all in. I have witnessed a thing of such where bet happened after the game had started with high hope for winning but at the end the match ended draw with a late goal. What most people are doing now is to have huge bet after the game had started but it is still risky.

That happened to me too, it was a cricket match where I didn't bet initially though I knew which team is stronger and has got better chance of winning, I let the match start and as expected, the team that was the favorite was way ahead of their opponents, so I thought it's a sure win though the odds offered were very low but I went ahead and place my bet with a higher amount than I planned because I thought it is going to be a win for sure.

Surprisingly, the team which was weaker (it was the weakest team in that particular tournament) managed to win the match with a very low target which could be chased easily by the favorite team but they couldn't do it, and I lost my bet and I learned the lesson that we should never take anything for granted.

It depends on the game and the situation. If there are risks to certain players playing or not I might opt into live betting. Nba moves rather quickly so it's nice seeing how the game is going before you dive into a bet. For prop bets I like hitting them pregame as by the time the game is known the odds are already adjusted.

It also depends on the strategy, at one time I was looking for football matches in which there was a late first goal. The bottom line was that I was looking for matches in which, approximately, up to 70 minutes or so, not a single goal was scored. By that time, the odds on whether a goal would be scored or not had grown well, and then, depending on the game, I made the decision to bet or not. The bottom line was that any team needed to score a goal and it is clear that such a strategy was only suitable for live. In addition, I also compared this match with other matches of a certain championship, whether there 0:0 scores in this round before this match, in general, the strategy quite interesting.

This means you have to be observant enough to see how the game is developing. But this will also be affected by the condition of the players and how the team you support is performing. This kind of strategy is indeed suitable for live broadcast matches because in reality we will see how the game goes for 70 minutes without a goal and which team is stronger and dominates the match more. I also prefer to bet while the match is in progress and avoid placing bets before the match is underway.
