Sports Betting on live games

[randy]

The site that I am fond of does not have the option of betting on live games. I normally think that it is a risky move but one that's exciting as well. Has anyone ever tried live betting before?

I don't think it's any less risky than betting on a game before it starts. Quite the opposite sometimes. A football game is in the 3rd quarter and you turn to your buddy and say: "I'll bet you 20 bucks that the Bronco's will attempt and make 1 field goal in the 4th". It's a lot easier to do this as you have watched the game progress. As opposed to making a bet like that before the game even starts.

I agree with you zephyr. It is much easier to bet on a likely outcome as you watch a game. A few of my friends make good kills on live soccer games. I guess I'm the more cautious one since I prefer to place wagers before the games start.

I have to agree with you totally. I think it is easier to tell how a game will end based on the progress. I'm beginning to think that live betting is really intriguing.

I agree with the others above my post. It is much easier to bet on a live game. Then too, sometimes games can take a dramatic turn at the end.

Games take dramatic turns every so often. Haven't you placed wagers for a team that was leading 4-0 at half time then eventually the game ended up as a draw? This has happened to me severally and that's why I opt for the live games.
