I don't think people are manually updating the odds in real-time, more likely there is a central server using sophisticated algorithms that is taking care of the live sport events.

Yes but how accurate are those services which show you the odds? 1000 seems cheap if the odds are reliable.
Well I suppose the big ones are pretty accurate. As for the cost, It is cheap if you are a site with enough players to gamble on. And ofcourse these are the cost of the live games and not the pre-match odds, as they would be much cheaper . I haven't personally tried any of these out, but only read about them somewhere.

Yes I know but how should I decide which odd provider to chose . And how do they know the score and what odds to offer ?
I believe the odds provider have a person sitting in each match or have a live feed of the match(which has to be before the television as the television stream is delayed) .
You should also know that they charge a very high amount around 400-1000$  per month. So the chances of having a person in the game live, is very likely.

How do Sportsbooks get live odds when they have live betting ? I see sites change odds in real time. How they know what odds to offer ?

There are odd providers in the market who basically provide the odds to the Sportsbooks . They probably provide them in real time and charge the sites a fee for providing the odds .

An example of one such site which provides live odds is: donbest.com
The Sportsbook just have to subscribe to them ,and integrate them to their websites.

^That and they probably have their own people who are experienced in sports betting and they're paid to provide best odds to them based on their expertise in a sport.

And they change their odds based on actual live game scores and conditions of a particular sporting event. I guess it's just like having tipsters on their own side and providing/adjusting bets based on their tips.

just like how they offer the odds before games start
there are providers for the odds and it's their responsibility
and that's why u don't see all the matches have a live bet option
