Do sportsbooks void winning bet and accept losing bet in soccer Danger Zone by delay?

[DanMJ]

Hey everyone! I'm new to live soccer betting, and I’ve noticed there’s always a few seconds delay when placing a live bet.

After doing some research, I found that sportsbooks might intentionally add this delay to decide whether to accept a bet or not. I’m wondering if placing a bet during the so-called “Danger Zone” (when the delay seems significantly higher).

Do sportsbooks void winning bets placed during this period, while accepting bets that would result in losses? If so, I guess it be better to avoid betting during the Danger Zone altogether?


Thank you

It seems it won’t count, no matter how the score turns out for you.

Some books do delay live bets during danger zone play. But most of the time the bet is just not accepted if there is a significant change in the odds during that delay.

Of course some operators use that advantage to avoid good bets and take bad bets, but I think you will find it is a minority among licensed platforms.

I have a situation right now with Betly where I was making a live bet and it was rejected because a goal was scored in a hockey game and then they accepted it (as I was button mashing to get the bet in) after the goal (odds changed dramatically which was confusing in the moment) and I was allowed to place a bet that was impossible to win as it was already decided that it would have to be an over (2.5 goals). So sportsbooks can be ridiculous. First the said that I needed to know the score at all times, then they said it was a mistake (not saying who's) and that it's impossible to refund. What???

Most books void any wager accepted during danger zone if a goal is scored. You can pick up quite a bit of value if you like the under going into danger zone. If there is a corner or two, and a couple minutes burn off on your 2m risk free under, you're practically mugging the book.
