I believe that some of you here who are sport bettors must have experience of what I mean.
During a live match, we can tell that the odds of the game usually change continually depending on the bookmaker you are using.
Yesterday, I placed a bet, it was a parlay with 8 legs but I lost the bet because I predicted Bologna 1909 to win. Before the game started, Lecce had 5.00 odd while Bologna 1909 had 1.9 odd but after the first half time of the match, the odd of lecce have increased to 30.00 and it kept increasing, just few minutes to the end of the game, the odd was now 50.00
This is nothing new for so many of us because it happens continuously. Can anyone or have any of you here took such risk to place a bet on a single game with odd ranging from 10.00 - 50.00?
If you took such risk before, did you win?
This kind of increase in odd in partially risky too for the bookies because someone could actually take the risk and end up to win the bet because the team that was expected not to win the match, can luckily score a goal during penalty or could just win in the last minute.
Share your experience.
It's not a good idea to bet on live matches unless you have a strategy and things go the way you wish (or at least partially the way you wish).
I haven't taken risk like that but I imagine what would be the scenario in football. Imagine a game between well-established football clubs and the score is 1:0 and it's 89 minute. What do you think, what will be the odd of team with 0 winning this match? I think, bookies will give it odd as high as 50. There have been cases when the score was like that (1:0) and suddenly, the team managed to score 2 goals in last minutes and won the match. That has happened not many times but not few times too. So, yes, you can bet but keep in mind that the probability of winning is really low, that's why sportsbooks offer you such a high odd.
