    I hear that...

    You hit confirm and it pauses or tells you it changed, when it didn't. Delays in broadcasts have also been a part of the same problem...

    why would anyone decent want to share their secrets?

    the simple fact that sportsbooks will impose limits and delays on live players means some people are winning

    live betting is like my sex life

    UP AND DOWN with many swings

    but in the end, it is hard as rock and you still only have the HOPE to get what you actually want

    live betting should be the opposite of your sex life

    stale is good in betting, not so much in sex

    can't afford $10 bets anyway

    and betonline/others would freeroll you on live betting if you play that game

    Tennis only one I ever found profitable. If you know players tendencies and have a feel for certain guys you can find some good value in live games. Getting harder though the younger players coming up seem to Be mentally tougher. Gravy train might be over in the next few years

    I love to live bet basketball totals. What I do is parse halftime stats, and then use Dean Oliver's possessions formula (Four Factors) to get a rough estimation of possessions. Then I use another resource for pace (Dunksandthrees), and I halve whatever the pace comes out as (I know it isn't a one-size fits all approach as pace changes throughout each interval of the game, but it is a fair approximation). I then look for anomalies such as teams that scored a lot more in the first half than expected (Betting line as a reference), while the pace was a lot less than expected. What this tells me is teams were lucky in their shooting, as to get a lot of points with fewer possessions you'd obviously need to be shooting hot, and teams aren't hot forever. I would be inclined to bet unders in these situations - perhaps if one team was blowing out another.

    Aha thanks, but I’m just a guy with lots of time on his hands. I wish I had the discipline to not bet and give some back in the off-season, lol.
