I can’t tell you how many times that I have not been able to get up early enough to place a bet for the East Coast games that start at 10:00AM (Pacific Time) on Sunday. Many of the sportsbooks will not accept bets within 10 minutes of the start of the kickoff. With live sports betting at sites like Betbubbles, I can get that wager in early in the 1st quarter while the game is still very young.
You might ask, “Why don’t you just place your bet the night before?” That is a good question and there are a couple of reasons why I might not choose to do this. First, I might want to hear about which game time decision players are sitting or playing. A lot of times, this isn’t announced until less than a half hour before the game starts.
Secondly, I like to bet on the underdogs more often than most people. If you are going to bet on the dogs, you will want to wait until close to the start of the game to get the best value on your selection. People tend to bet up the favorites; even if the spread doesn’t move, the line often does close to game time. I’ve been on the wrong end of getting locked out by waiting too long several times. Then, you just hope that your instincts are wrong and the bet would have lost.
Live NFL Betting
When it comes to live NFL betting online, you should not bet impulsively when the game starts go south on you. Many people try to hedge their bets at the wrong time and end up losing multiple wagers on the same game. Be clear minded and calculating. You should only make hedge bets that make sense and give you a chance to win both wagers.
Let’s say that you are betting tonight’s game between the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos. You decide to place a wager on Denver to beat the -15.5 point spread. If Denver gets out to an early 14-0 lead, the point spread will probably shoot up to -20 or worse. This would be a good time to place a hedge bet on Oakland to cover the new 20 point spread. The is an almost guaranteed chance that you will win one of the two wagers that you have placed. If the point spread falls between 15 and 20 points, you will win on both wagers.
This is how live betting is supposed to work. You find the situation that favors you and you press your advantage. This doesn’t work out all of the time; but good gamblers can find the advantage and get it to pay off. I liken it to doubling down in blackjack. The gamble won’t always pay off, but it should be attempted when the situation is right.
Usually, you will find that the live betting will be accepted until the late 3rd or early 4th quarter. If you are going to make your move, don’t wait too long. Usually, the best time to make an additional live bet is sometime in the 2nd quarter. By this time, you will already have a good feeling for the general pace of the game and whether a team is playing well enough to make a comeback or not.
