Like with pre-game betting, there are a lot of strategies to consider when getting into live betting, so we’ve listed a few smart, simple, and common strategies here for you.
- Betting on a favorite you like when they go down early in a game, which leads to their odds becoming much more favorable to you.
- Ensuring you have an accurate live stream so that you can snag the best value you can instead of trying to make a live bet too late.
- Track the odds closely on the live betting markets that you’re interested in so you can be ready to pounce on your ideal odds at just the right moment.
- Hedge your pre-game bets with a live bet. For example, if you took the Steelers pregame at plus odds and the Packers are looking good early in the game, a bet on the Packers is a safe hedge for you.
- Claim free live bet offers wherever you can and have several different sportsbooks open during the game so you can place your bet with the one offering you the most bang for your buck.
- Become a stathead, because the numbers are some of the best indicators for future performance. Get up to date on things like matchup trends and roster turnover so you can make the most informed bet you can.
