What is everyone's take on live betting? To me I see some value for sure, but always end up getting burned.

I cant help but to get suckered in and keep pounding my original losing bet and shooting myself in the foot.

Does anyone play them?

I play them all the time. The best is when I get both teams ML at + money.

Some advice, if you a certain side, don't keep chasing it with live bets thinking that you're getting a better number than your original bet. Example, you have the over and the game is going very slow so you take the live over thinking it will pick up or you have the Lakers +2 and they're down 12 so you take them like +8.5 thinking your getting a steal.

Teams lose by 30. Don't keep taking them live if it's obvious they don't have it.
