    Live betting profitable?
    I'm getting killed this world cup. Anybody make some good cash at live betting? Not just soccer, live bet any sport?

              Definitely the most useful in NBA and to a lesser extent, MLB. Huge value can be had on a fairly regular basis.

                    That's not value... You took a line 2 runs higher than the closing line...

                      I used live betting before only when I need better odds, I guess you have to be profitable in regular bets to increase your income by betting live. So don't think that if you watch 15 minutes of the game - you understand how it results. That is a bookie trick. Think in advance

                          You've got to have a plan before the game starts or you'll lose on live betting, but really that's no different than any other bets laid. Be smart and think things through and you can take advantage.

                            I guess live betting Roger Federer yesterday would have been profitable.

                              It seems to me that it is still around and thus not largely profitable for the player. Books don't like to give away money. Of course there are going to be holes to exploit. But methinks those are less frequent than people would have you think.

                                Trust me you wouldnt like any of my plays. Square city juiced lines, bad numbers, alot of chalk, but im able to pick my spots at about an 65% clip or so a good chunk of that % is in-game. Im not a math guy i pick winners i couldnt care less about "value" and +ev. shopping for the best lines of course but when Aj burnett is getting bombed and you know theres a chance az bullpen gets involved do you pass on a winner because of closing number? probably huh. not me i watch games and trust my knowledge. Its just a winning in- game ticket guy asked if you can make $$ doing it so i posted relax.

                                  I tend to equate live betting to day trading stocks. In the right hands, it can be very profitable. But many a folk has lost his shirt thinking there was an easy buck to be made without really understanding what they were doing...

                                    I like it as I am getting into it more. Not many Books offer it, uk books are the masters.

                                          if you arent already @ 5dimes get there they have some good halftime options on WC. Kickback watch the flow of the first half at halftime if you think you see something you like grab it.
