    Is Bookmakers live betting always this worthless?
    I haven’t had a bookmaker account in like 10 years. Deposited there Wednesday, and I gotta say, their live betting is the worst I have seen. Lines are almost never available, selections stay frozen half the game.

    Bovada, US regulated books, BetOnline....all blow Bookmaker away in this regard. It makes me wanna pull out and redeposit elsewhere. Is it always like this?

      Bookmaker seems like it is only available during commercial time.

          Live betting for basketball is generally only available during commercial breaks or time outs. With delays and constant scoring it’s near impossible to offer live lines with decent juice mid play in basketball as a book. So many people could take advantage of you.

          If I remember correctly, I actually found bookmaker to be the BEST live betting. Why? Other books including heritage live lines will be -115/-115 juice or WORSE. Bookmaker one of the few to offer -110/-110 on live bets and by far the highest limits. Could easily get down a nickel or dime mid play and cashing out 5-10k in under a couple hours no questions asked, by far the best. However reduced juice they suck.I think betonline had decent live lines too but it’s been awhile since I’ve used fiat book live lines.

          Heritage one of the worst. -115/-115 and much, much worse live lines.

            Dude be very careful on there. I had my settings to confirm plays but when I hit "continue" it straight up booked the bet. Did not have me confirm anything which once I saw the price i would not of submitted. I am serious as shit even HMAN (sbr moderator) does not deny this.

                  I agree. Bookmaker great for live. I use it daily for european basketball in the morning for true degenerate action

                    I assume you were trying to use it for college basketball....they are very cautious with college basketball. I think the first round has been too easy and they have alot of sharps that will hammer them if they keep live open to much. Nba they leave open the whole game as well as hockey until the last 10 minutes of the third.

                        They really aren't man. Have to give them cred. They are the one book that has pulverised me. Were talkin almost all deposits in the history. They have the razor sharpest lines but they have imo by far hands down the best customer service. They got me good on a Saints Bears 2 years ago.

                          North Carolina game has been at halftime for 15 minutes and Bookmaker has yet to lost a line. I don’t know about other sports, but for College Hoops they’re laughable.

                            Bovada has a live line up damn near every score change. It’s almost too much to follow along with. I quit offshore years ago and only redeposited there the last few weeks, so Bovada and Bookmaker are the only books I’ve messed with. Maybe I’ll try splitting my action between intertops and heritage. Or I’ll just stay 100% US books.

                              I would avoid heritage for live betting unless you aren't betting much. Their live limits are to win $100, which is laughable.

                                Terrible live betting platform. Absolutely no value. Try Heritage or 5DIMES.

                                  Bookmaker been getting LOTS of negative feedback. Sucks for the players and NOBODY else.

                                    They are good like I said with other sports. They hate college basketball though because they get hit hard by their bigger bettors. Plus chalk is cruising right now, that doesnt help them

                                      I agree with the pulling out and going elsewhere part....just not in regards to Bookmaker though....something else.......

                                        They dont post live lines during halftime.

                                        But they do post 2nd half bets whoch essentially is your live line

                                          No, I’m looking for game Money lines. Their second half lines are just for the second half, unless I’m completely confused here. At the half, Oregon is up 12 and the second half moneyline is Oregon +122. They’re not posting a live line at all for the games final. Bookmaker is just a D+ book as far as live betting college hoops. Ok book otherwise, but I’m withdrawing tonight.

                                              The live betting is shit, but damn if their payouts are A+. Little over an hour and my money was in my wallet. That definitely earned some respect for Bookmaker.

                                                Betcoin has great live betting. Similar to bet365. Not a fiat book though

                                                  Yep... Bookmaker's Live Wagering is horrible...

                                                  Why not just use 5Dimes? -110 sides during commercial break. Can't beat it.

                                                      Why not just use 5Dimes? -110 sides during commercial break. Can't beat it.
                                                      I prefer the Bovada live lines where it’s updated damn near every score change. You gotta be quick to get your bet in, but the live lines are coming at you constantly. It’s only ML though. You can make a killing though, just waiting for games where a huge favorite comes out slow.

                                                        You can't bet any baseball games live right now. They're horrible.
