    they will take it

    the question is whether they'd say afterwards that it's an error and not let you withdraw all your winnings.

    for STL last commercial break it was (max risk $207,500.00)


    because they were favorites. Guess it's max win 50k or something

    they've had this in live betting for a while though. I live bet a lot of baseball and football there. Very high limits. The most I'll put on a single live bet is only about 250 though (I sometimes wind up with a few thousand wagered live due to a bunch of bets).

    Interesting. I was watching their tennis lines during last Major and was shocked to see some very low spreads on pretty deep odds. When I think about it a bit, I guess live booking carries less risk in the sense that almost all information about the game is known, and it truly becomes a math problem, unlike say pre-game, where a sharp group could have secret information about the play-book or key injury not public knowledge.

    Live betting is very risky for books. They have to come up with a correct line with minimal time to evaluate all of the information at hand.
