Live Betting
Live Betting is also known as In Play Betting as an increasingly popular way for punters to have a bet on sporting events. In simple terms In Play Betting gives punters the chance to bet on a sport event while it is happening live, this can potentially prove extremely lucrative if successful but likewise it can make picking the right result that much harder.

During a Football Match live on the TV you will often see advertising boards around the ground from the Online Bookmakers offering you the odds on the next goalscorer in the match, this is particular popular with Premier League and International Matches. The advantage to the punter here is that they can see how the team and the players are performing and can make a better educated guess on the example who might score the next goal.
Horse Racing is another sport where Live Betting is rife with all the big TV races often open to In Race Betting. When the tape goes up or the stalls open in a big race more often than not the online bookies will be constantly adjusting their odds depending on the position and performances of the horses so far. If a horse drops to the back of the field early on then their odds will immediately lengthen and vise versa if a horse takes up a good position near the front. This can give punters some excellent value if they back a horse who struggles early on in a race only to finish strongly and take the win.
