📺 How to live bet the Divisional Round

Live betting is all about getting a feel for the game as you watch. Trust your gut and the on-field play, and make the call - based on the below advice - before the value seeps away.

Alternative totals are an excellent way to optimize profits. If you see something develop, trust yourself and commit before it's too late. But don't overcommit. Sometimes, patience is the name of the game as you'll want to take note of developing trends.
