How Live Betting Works

A live selection is placed once a match has started rather than before kick-off. Because the state of the match is already known to everyone watching, a live price reflects what has happened so far and how much time remains.

A pre-match price is built from the pre-game form of each side, and it does not change once your selection is accepted. A live price is rebuilt continuously around the score, the clock and the momentum of the match. This is why a live price can move a long way in a few seconds: a goal, a wicket, a red card or a break of serve each change the likely final result.

Because the price can move before your selection is accepted, a live selection is usually confirmed only after you submit it. If the market has suspended in the meantime, the selection is declined rather than taken at the price you saw. Our sports betting hub covers the wider range of markets available.

Live Market Types by Sport

Cricket in-play markets

Live cricket markets often cover the runs in an over, the next wicket, and the match result as it stands at that moment. Because a wicket changes the batting side's options, live cricket prices tend to move sharply at the fall of a wicket rather than steadily between overs.

Football in-play markets

Football offers next goal, live match result and live totals, along with live corner and card markets. The most common live football selections ask which side will score next or which side is leading at the time. Prices shift most after a goal, and less as the clock runs down.

Tennis in-play markets

Tennis settles point by point, so live markets cover the next game, the next set and the match result. A break of serve is the equivalent of a goal in football: it is the event that most changes the live price because it changes who is serving.

Kabaddi and other live sports

Kabaddi live markets follow raid points and tackle points as they accumulate, and the score can change several times within one raid. Other sports listed on the sports hub offer live markets in much the same way, with the timing of the live price tied to that sport's own scoring rhythm.

Suspensions, Settlement and Timeouts

A live market suspends briefly when a significant event occurs, for example a goal, a wicket, a red card or a service break. Suspension stops new selections for the few seconds it takes the price to be recalculated, which is why a live selection may be declined even though the market appears open.

Settlement follows the market rules for that fixture rather than the commentary or a scoreboard you are watching. Where a result is later revised or a fixture is postponed, the rules on the rules and regulations page state how it settles.

Live markets can also be closed early if a match is abandoned, so it is worth checking the market rules for the specific event rather than assuming every live market behaves like the last one.

Managing Live Betting

Live markets are the fastest way to place a selection because the price moves while you are looking at it, and that speed is exactly why it is worth setting a deposit limit before you open a live event. Once a limit is in place, it applies regardless of how quickly the market moves.

It also helps to decide before the match which markets you intend to use rather than choosing in the moment. A live session can cover many more selections than the same period spent on pre-match markets simply because each price arrives more often. The responsible gaming tools explain how to set deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion, and our guides cover the basics of odds and market types.

Live Betting Questions

What is in-play betting?

In-play betting is placing a selection after a match has started, on a price that reflects the score and the time remaining. The price continues to update until the market suspends.

Why was my live selection declined?

Live markets suspend when a significant event happens, such as a goal or a wicket. If the market was suspended when you submitted your selection, it is declined rather than accepted at the price you saw.

Do live odds change after my selection is accepted?

No. Once your live selection is accepted, the price you took stays fixed for that selection. The live price you see afterwards applies to new selections only.

Which sports have live markets?

Live markets are available on most sports listed on the sports hub, including cricket, football, tennis and kabaddi. The specific live markets offered vary by fixture.

How are live markets settled?

Live markets settle on the rules stated for that fixture, which may differ from the final score shown by a broadcaster. The rules and regulations page explains how postponed and disputed events are handled.

How do I keep live betting under control?

Set a deposit limit before you start, and decide your markets in advance rather than in the moment. The responsible gaming page explains the available tools.
