Bet 365 3-5 seconds on soccer in play(lightning fast ) , up to 8 sec on basketball,handball , volleyball . With Lads and Expect - basketball,handball and volleyball can take up to 18-20 seconds before the bet get excepted, a specially with the Lads . Soccer major leagues are much faster . Anyway i got kicked out from the Lads for winning too much
Except for bet365, major UK books will wait for some sort of break/stoppage in the game before they take your wager . I believe it has to with the time delay in transmission . Where bet365 doesn't bother with a point or 2 they suspend the live betting on basketball O/U with 5 min left ,spread with around 2 min .
If you be able to log in(365) you can watch the games live . You will see on some occasions (will not take you long) ,lets say
bet365 board reads Spain vs France 67 : 55 half way trough the 3ed Q ,but if you look at the score on TV it is already 69:55 . With the juice they take 365 is not that worried about point or 2 . Sometimes they get way behind and suspend live betting for 1-5 min to adjust the score and spreads .
