I did it during the playoffs. You can bet during t.v. timeouts.

Live betting has definitely subsided big time for the average player, one of main reasons is you have to sit there and watch game and have a pc right near you.

I think it is apposite. Live betting growing bigger and makes game very exciting, esp in football/soccer. Plus, if it is like he says abov, gives you something to do during commercials for NBA.

Betting can still be fun, even for professionals.

I'm guessing Pinny did well enough with live NBA during last post-season that they want to give it a spin during regular season too. It'll only last if they're making money on it.

As to soccer, a little different in that obviously they can't wait for breaks and just have a moving line throughout, which pretty much changes every time there is the 30 second refresh.

Betting stops upon goals (obviously), half-time, when any corners are about to be taken, and when cards are shown.....

Seems like there'd be money in watching the game and beating them to the punch on corners and other scoring opportunities.

It's a good point, Dwaechte. There are some angles you can use to your advantage....At least sometimes.....

Stumpage thanks for the info ... havent given it a shot ... but it might result in a better option if my team is losing and doesnt seem to step up to cover the spread.

No problem Shark.....There's actually a couple of Bundesliga games starting right now that Pinnacle is offering Live betting on....If you want to preview it or something along those lines.....

Anyway, good luck.....
