At all of the books I play at, there is a ~10-15 second 'processing' period once I press submit on a live bet. Is there someone on the back end that's deciding whether to accept/deny my bet? This 'buffer' period could really work in the books favor.

What happens during 'Live Bet' processing?

If there is a delay on every single live bet it is probably either the book have imposed a delay on you personally, or you are betting markets they do not monitor as closely as top leagues.
If you slip too many winners in within seconds of events occurring they will start to think you are using a faster feed than they can handle and do this to you quite often too.

Any delay cannot be good for the customer. Opens up many possibilities, and none are good for your play.

Watched a "documentary" on bbc. Dude goes to Tennis games and apparently some umpires are slow to press the button to process the point.. so theres a delay if you are at the game to bet after the point..He legit goes all across the world to follow the slow umpires.

That's a good story but he never should have mentioned it to the TV reporter. Find something like that you keep it to yourself.

If he is betting within a second of the point all the time, I would be surprised if he can keep live betting accounts to do it. Originally Posted by cashin81

If the Live operators detect his IP being near the tournament they would lock him out for that too if he is betting very late.
Some tournies ban court side betting. Aussie Open added a law so police can arrest people doing it.
Sounds easy, but...

Did he say where he does his betting? Sounds to me that he's betting on Betfair who will then take a big percentage of his earnings with their premium charge. Bookies won't let you do that for long.

Bet365, probably others.. He was buying other people accounts. The books know but just limit.
But then, I mean it would be pretty easy to even convince a judge that its unfair, dunno.

live betting is the most frustrating thing to ever be invented
just yesterday bookmaker had some glitches on ncaaf... during commercial breaks i was betting something at -105 and while it spins it tells me that it moved to -150 yet it still shows -105... so it won't let me bet and next commercial it's -320
