When it comes to betting
on sports, we will all have our own preferences.
Some will fancy picking
the first goalscorer from a weekend Premier League game, others will like a
long shot to win a golf major, whereas many will try to secure a win with an
accumulator thats formed of various teams.
No matter your choice,
the depth that bookmakers provide, both online and in the shop, means that
there are options for punters, which is part of the reasons
why gambling is a multi-billion pound industry.
Another
popular form of betting comes during games, with all major online sportsbooks
offering an in-play service. The technology we have at our disposal
today means that bets can be placed on the move on your phone, so there
are always opportunities to make predictions during a game.
With that in
mind, we will outline the different factors to consider when you are betting
in-play.
Dont just
look at the odds
Of course, nothing is guaranteed in sport or
betting, which is why so many people enjoy the excitement and thrill that both
provide.
Yet, there are some that will see a short-priced favourite on
their device in-play and just presume that they will go on to win. It should go
without saying, but that is risky business. On your app or laptop, you may see
in-play odds on sports or leagues that you dont know enough about, so
steer clear of them and dont just bet because a team or an individual
should win.
Search for value
The odds will constantly change
during an event and that can present the player with a chance to find a good
value bet.
For example, if you feel Liverpool will win a certain game
you can check the
latest football betting odds and bet. But, the initial price might not be
to your liking and, if they were drawing the game after 30 minutes, or at
half-time, the odds may tumble to the price you wanted in the first
place.
Obviously, the odds would be even better after 80 minutes,
or if they went a goal down. The unpredictability of sport throws up certain
situations that you can use to your advantage if youre
quick.
Find an
angle
Another way you can potentially benefit is by finding a
different angle when it comes to placing your bet.
Sticking with
football, which accounts
for around
70% of the bets placed on sports, there will be a whole host of markets
available for you to choose from, including corners, cards, and
goals.
If you are watching a particular game and feel there will be a
lot of incidents as it progresses, then you could do an in-play bet on a
certain amount of yellow cards or goals if you see a team creating plenty of
chances. The same applies to all sports as a range of markets are available,
so searching for something away from the usual bets could end up being
profitable for you.
Overall, in-play betting offers something different
to any player and it can certainly be beneficial to you if you use it in the
right way. Though, whilst nothing is guaranteed, following these tips could
help. |
