I prefer to bet before the match. I feel like betting during the match is more chaotic and can lead to wrong decisions.

I'll give you an example. One time we were watching a game with friends and we all bet on our national team. They were losing early on, so we were all saying that we regret betting on them and it was actually 1-0 in the first half for the opponents. If I had the chance to remove the bet, after that first half I'd do it because of the atmosphere in the room where we were all hating on the team. It made their game look worse than it actually was. They ended up getting 2 goals in the second half and winning the game. You never really know who's going to win, but the game itself and the stress of it can cloud your judgement.

Found myself losing when the money line changes from 1.75 to 4.35 as the game began.

I think  there is a little error on your odd placement and you have a recheck, don't know if I'm wrong or right.
Are there people who intentionally waits for a match to start before betting on them?
I will want to know because it really seems Interesting  to me because the only times you might see me betting  a game when the match already started is if there was an emergency  and I didn't meet  up betting the game earlier  before the start time and I prefer to bet on a match even some days  ahead of the match because the games would always have some more better odds by then.

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.
I usually place my bets before the game begins. I changed this during the World Cup tournaments. You know that feeling that  you just wanted to be patient to watch the first few minutes before you decided. Yes. And if you remembered correctly, the games in world cup tournament was one of the most unpredictable. Like teams we didn't expect to perform well were winning top countries like Argentina, Portugal etc. One needed to be careful not to lose a lot of money. And it worked out well for me by betting on live game. Well after that, I switched backed or alternated between betting on live games or before the games started but it depended on the club, the league and just my general analysis.

To be honest it depends on the game and my mood! For example, if I need to win money quickly and withdraw I'll try to find a live game and gamble on it. However if I want to enjoy watching the game that I placed a bet on later, I'll try to bet beforehand.

The odds are generally better before the games but sometimes you'll come across a good opportunity to gamble on a team mid-game. Like I mean when you're already watching the game live and you notice that the other team is performing better and it seems like a goal will be scored soon you can take a chance and place a bet on it which could have good odds.

Grasping the mechanics of pre-match and in-play betting strategies is pivotal. Each offers unique pros and cons.

Pre-match betting gifts you time to delve into historical data, contrast odds, and form predictions based on facts. Yet, sports events' inherent volatility - an unforeseen injury, an out-of-the-blue play, or a swift weather shift - can upset your analytical applecart.

Conversely, in-play betting lets you tailor your bets to game changes. The shifting odds mirror the bookie's response to game shifts, echoing the present, not pre-game conjectures. But, it demands rapid-fire reasoning, deep game insight, and a penchant for forecasting game progressions.

I think betting when the game is already up is another features in football gambling that some pundits like now because it provides an opportunity to be able to decide where the pendulum will swing to. By that, the bettor can access the options he is considering like how many corner kicks the second half could produce, throw-in etc

It is more like you can't eat your cake and have it. If you want to take the full risk of the game then you will be rewarded more but if you choose the lesser risk then your reward will be reduced. I think it is well understood that way. I know many bettors are caught between this web but it is really a new innovation that many have taken advantage of.

I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!
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.
Personally I prefer to take a bet days prior to the event and sometimes even weeks before it, as many gamblers have the tendency to wait until the last moment to do so and if you have an idea of who could be the favorite then you could get better odds than the ones that those people will get, so you are playing with a slight advantage over the rest of the gamblers out there, and while this may not seem to be much sometimes this can be the difference between making some money or none at all.

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.

Usually I bet when the match hasn't started yet, we can also bet on live matches. however, all of that is always adjusted to the conditions and which team will compete. in the end, all is your choice. moreover, if you are going to watch a match that is your bet. what you say in this thread, not always every fight is like you said. especially, in European football league betting. jumps in odds are rare, except after the game has been played. Or, it could be that a number of players will be absent and the bookies will change the odds significantly.

The point is, in sports betting it is natural that things happen like what you said. the important point is, what are you going to do in sports betting and how do you try to minimize losses in each betting session. that means, there is a mechanism that we must do before the match starts. in a way, researching a team that will compete. and I think, you definitely understand how the mechanism that you should do before the fight starts. In fact, you can also research the course of the match, that way you can choose other options from your bet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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. Grin

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
