Football betting is attracting more and more players. Live betting on football is especially popular. However, even if you are a real fan, there are certain tips you should keep in mind to make correct and safe bets on live football.
Betting instructions
First of all, you need to choose a bookie that offers this feature. It should be taken into account that some bookmakers offer to place a bet only before the match. At the sportbook Parimatch betting can be placed live with the ability to follow the game through a special broadcast.
After choosing a sportbook and topping up your account, you can start placing a bet. If you know the game you want to bet on, you can enter one team name in the search field. If you want to select any suitable game, you should go to the “Live” section. Football matches that have already started will be located here.
When choosing a sporting event, you should pay attention to the parameters of the live match:
- What time;
- How much time has passed;
- What is the score and so on.
If it is important for you to watch the game directly from the bookmaker’s office, you should pay attention to games that have a TV icon.
After choosing an approximate number of football matches that are suitable according to the primary parameters, you can begin to examine the game statistics, as well as the outcome odds. First of all, you should determine the favorite in the match. If you don’t delve into the statistics and tactics of each team, you can pay attention to the odds. If the odds for both teams vary from x1.6 to x2.2, there is no favorite in the match. If one team has a lower odds, it means its chances of winning are greater and it is the favorite.
If you have a favorite, you can start choosing the outcome for your bet. In football matches, the most popular outcomes are:
- Winner of the match or half;
- Total total of the first/second half;
- Individual total 1st/2nd;
- Who will be the first to score the first goal;
- Goal race;
- Double chance: winner and draw;
- Total total;
- Total yellow cards and others.
These are just the most basic outcomes; a more detailed list of outcomes can be viewed in a specific game event. It is worth noting that during live betting, odds and outcomes may change depending on the chance of the outcome of the event. For example, towards the end of the first half when the score is 0:0, the total of 2 or more may disappear for bets.
Once you have chosen the desired outcome, you need to click on it. Next, the player will be presented with a coupon that must be filled out, indicating the bet amount. By entering the amount, the player will immediately be shown the possible winnings. If everything is fine, you just need to confirm the bet and wait for confirmation. It is worth noting that during a match the odds change. The player will be notified that the ratio has decreased or increased.
