Live, in-game betting is one of the most popular new ways to wager with
online sportsbooks. Live betting allows you to place wagers on events
which have already started, and are in progress. There are many reasons
to bet in-game. You can increase your position, or hedge your position
out of a match. There are many subtleties to in-game betting that
present opportunity to the intelligent bettor. Indeed, there are
professional players that specialize only in live betting.
One of the factors to consider when selecting a sportsbook to place in-game wagers with is the 'line set' used. A bookmaker turns a profit by setting a surcharge, or “juice” behind
each line set. The lower this charge is, the more attractive to punters.
A standard -110 line set is known as a 20-cent line. A bookmaker using a
standard -110 line requires a player to risk $110 for the chance to win
$100 when the price is Pick’em. The extra $10 is the vigorish. Live
betting sportsbooks typically configure their line sets between 20 and
40 cents. A 20-cent line has a house edge of about 4.5%, whereas the
player is giving up an average of 8.3% versus a 40-cent line.
In addition to showing the respective bonuses and line sets offered by each sportsbook, the live betting chart includes wagering limits, frequency, sportsbook software and mobile betting support.
