for insatnce

rangers twins

right now -10,000 on live chat so lets say you put 5,000 on it all in for 3 outs with a 3 run lead its auto to make 50.00 i understand if the one and a million 9th hugh inn happens you would be crying so i would like thoughts.

It will end up stinging the sh*t out of you. Trust me don't do it.

not if you have betting problems, it could easily become a nightmare

but for me, i love live betting. One of my best days ever was the result of live betting. What you are talking about tho, i wouldnt try personally.

Live betting can be a winning formula if you go the other way than you're thinking, for instance playing the team that's down and at huge plus money, the Rangers in this spot. You would only have to win like 1/100 to make a profit compared to if you always played the huge fav, which a single loss with wipe away all profits and then a hefty sum.

i could see how live betting is the devil you expect something to happen and all shit hits the fans.i personally stay away from it.i havent had any bad success but i know if i do it ill run into big issues.

fightingwarrior · 05-30-10, 10:04 PM

yes i stay away from it ii just wanted your guys thoughts on this topic.

live bet has value if you know the game.
In basketball, sometimes teams are down 10 in terms of the boxscore, but in reality, they aren't really a team down ten in the sense that you can tell they're right in the game.
It's good for betting good teams who go down early.

yeah i need to learn live betting for baseball.

Bostongambler · 05-30-10, 10:08 PM

You can see which way the game is going so some say that is an advantage.

fightingwarrior · 05-30-10, 10:08 PM

i plan to do alot of live betting for world cup and nfl but small keeping it to a min and max per each game.

fightingwarrior · 05-30-10, 10:09 PM

i mean baseball is tricky because alot of comebacks tend to happen dont you guys think

Mikail · 05-30-10, 10:09 PM

I am not saying to not live bet. I am just advising to not lay heavy chalk on games you think are over. you could do some serious damage betting a -5000 or something. It just isn't worth it to take shots like that!

fightingwarrior · 05-30-10, 10:13 PM

Rangers might come back and win

Doc JS · 05-30-10, 10:44 PM

For the same reason you dont go betting huge ML favs...because every now and then 42 point dog Stanford beats Southern Cal...

Because as others have said, it doesn't take but one of those huge favs to lose to wipe you out...

For the same reason that chase systems dont work either...because occasionally when you flip a coin it comes up heads 10 times in a row and wipes you out...

You look for value...You can have my -5000 and Ill take the +4800, especially with three outs to go in a 6-3 game.

flyingillini · 05-30-10, 10:54 PM

It can be fun but very stressful at times. I remember when I won the 1k from SBR, I was doing the live betting at Intertops for a while. It was a good time! I did well fortunately but I can see where it can bury you as well.

There were 12 innings today where the opposing team scored 3 or more runs in an inning

I think we had about 270 innings played....I'm not suggesting this is at all a good way to find value but -5000 just seems like a horrible bet...now if you had an ace closer with the pitcher and two batters hitting .188 coming up I'd reconsider.

Usually it is not. Most of the time, it's easier to foresee what will happen in a game looking at it from a macro, full game view point.

There are cases where you can snag a play with a good chance of winning. Like if a total in NBA is on like an 8 point a minute pace and the total is adjusted to that pace in live in, playing the under is a good bet as that is a crazy high pace to maintain. You saw this in the Lakers game last night with a 70 point quarter that ended up hitting under 215.

Odds for Indians were +10000 2 days ago when Yanks take the 10-4 lead.

You can find great opportunities in live-betting (in-play) market specially if you have Matchbook & Betfair. (Matchbook's Liquidty is very poor so BF is a must)

That's pretty crazy....did you get anything down on that?

It's the devil

bradthebloke · 05-31-10, 11:23 AM

i would advise against it. in my early days, i used to do just that at wsex. take the team up 4 to 5 runs in the ninth. deposited 1k and got it all the way up to 6 before finally losing it all on one of these games. hard lessoned learned but worth it.
