The internet and streaming of live matches have made live betting immensely popular.
The main difference between live betting and regular betting is that bettors can gauge the motivation factor of how players will perform or game strategy, whether there are three forwards or ‘a bus of defending players parked in front of you’. the goal’.
The biggest advantage of live betting is that the punters have exactly the same information as the bookies while the matches are being played. There is also the possibility that punters will bet with better odds if the opening odds are too low. Bettors can watch the game unfold and make decisions as the match unfolds. This gives punters the opportunity to make a ‘U-turn’ and reverse a bet when the situation calls for it.
Live betting requires great discipline and patience. Emotion can be very high during a match and your decision can be just a click on the optical mouse. The following 7 golden rules for winning should not be overlooked:
1. 100% FOCUS
Live betting requires a cool and sober mind. You need to be focused and decisive while the match is in progress. A running joke among gamblers is that it’s not easy to do this regularly if you’re not single.
2. KEEP A QUIET HEAD
Watching a game is an emotional roller coaster. How many times when:
*we are winning – we wait for the referee to blow the final whistle fast
* we are losing – we expect the clock to slow down
When the chips are down, guard against getting carried away with emotions. Stay calm and assess the situation objectively.
3. IF YOU CANNOT BE DECISIVE, DO NOT BET
You must be totally convinced of your decision. Don’t bet just for ‘interest’ or to relieve boredom.
4. UNDERSTAND THE BETS CLEARLY
Make sure you understand everything about the market you are betting on, especially special bets like total goals, number of corners and number of reserves. etc.
5. BET ON WHAT YOU KNOW
It is easier to determine if there is value at any point in the game if you are familiar with the teams, for example if the team’s tactic is to defend deep or statistically they have won a lot of corners due to their style of play etc.
6. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TIME OF YOUR BET
In live betting, the bet counts from THE TIME OF THE BET, for example, in the match between Arsenal and Birmingham. After 20 minutes, Arsenal led 1-0. Betting on Arsenal to win at Asian Handicap -1/2 (Arsenal gives 1/2 a goal to Birmingham). No more goal was scored and the match ended 1-0 in favor of Arsenal. Although Arsenal won 1-0, your bet was lost because you bet Arsenal to win @ AH -1/2 from 20 minutes into the game.
7. CUT LOSSES WHEN NECESSARY
The typical mentality of most bettors is to wait until the last minute, hoping and praying that their team doesn’t let them down.
Be decisive and eliminate your loss as soon as you realize that the match is not flowing the way you expected. Such a decision can save you bigger losses in the end.
CONCLUSION
In live betting, you must judge each situation on its own merits. Don’t let emotion interfere with your judgment. This will just force logic to fly out the window, along with your cash.
