Mastering In-Play Betting: Expert Strategies For Live Action

In-play or live betting is an innovative way to make good money in modern sports betting. Unlike traditional sports betting, where wagers are placed pre-match, this strategy involves placing bets on sporting events after starting. The following are three huge tips on how to make in-play betting work for you.

Watch It Live!

One of the best pieces of advice that a punter can receive, as far as live betting is concerned, is to simply watch the game. This might mean settling down in front of the telly with a bowl of popcorn or, for those who are big sports fans, actually going to the stadium. Whichever the case, it pays to take a genuine interest in the game or sporting event if a punter wishes to be successful at live betting. Scan through pre-match news and headlines, noting key factors that could influence the outcomes. This ensures that going into the game, the punter already has a rough idea of what is probable - if most parameters are within their natural ranges. The punter should immerse themselves in the game and enjoy the match when it starts. This makes catching the game's flow easier and instinctively forecasting how it might turn. It can't be overstated how vital instinct is. Bookmakers follow the live game, too, adjusting odds/lines according to what transpires on the pitch. However, an excellent in-play punter can show sharper instincts than the bookie, reacting quicker by placing bets when the lines are favorable, i.e., more profitable.

Target The Moneyline Early On

Bookmaker lines are rarely static because the oddsmakers continually receive and factor new information into the odds. That's why it's often most profitable to place moneyline bets (1X2, outright winner/draw predictions) early on before the date that a match is scheduled to start. However, something else that many punters might overlook is that there's often a sharp change in moneyline live odds just after a match begins. This is often in the first 10-15 minutes of a match - soccer matches that remain goalless for a while are a prime example - when the odds suddenly improve, leading to some potentially exceptional opportunities to make a profit. The game's general flow in those early minutes can give a punter valuable information to make an accurate moneyline prediction at highly profitable odds.

Hedge Betting For Live Bets

It is possible to get a live bet wrong, of course. A punter watching the game live can consider all the variables but still find the game-changing in ways they could not have predicted. The question is, what can one do in that scenario? The answer lies in hedge betting. If the punter feels the game drifting towards a different outcome than they predicted in their bet, they may be able to remedy the situation by placing a bet on the opposite outcome. There are three ways a hedged live bet can go:

  • Some of the lost stakes from the original bet may be recouped, thereby softening the blow of the loss.

  • The punter may recoup all the money used as a stake in the original bet, emerging unscathed from the situation.

  • Sometimes, they may even be able to register a small profit from the hedged bet.
