Live betting, same old story

I just bet $12 to win $10 on this USFL game on Birmingham at an offshore book, they held it 12 seconds or so until opponent completed a 15 yard pass for a first down to go from about 25 yard line to 10. I just turned the game on, I have no time to cap this sport and was just looking for something to root on. But they had to fuck me. Over a $10 bet.

William Hill once promoted betting with the ball in the air.

A couple of years ago, I bet a USC-UCLA basketball game UNDER a live total and I believe the teams combined to hit three straight three-point shots.

It can happen.

Lesson learned.

This is worse and worse. Tried to bet over 0.5 goals late in some shit soccer game. Before I could bet, goal scored so I changed to o1.5. After bet accepted, they take the goal away but bet stands! Also have been credited winnings twice on an over only to take the goal and the payout away.

He also objected to the higher vig for “in game”.
In game is primarily for degenerates or action junkies.

There are exceptions like ComptrBob, who can exploit the algorithm failures.

I have 20 books and gamble on sports everyday all day (5 in the morning until into the night) and there really isn't any way to exploit anything without having some crazy intel or catching bad lines which inevitably cause drama eventually at most books. Every live broadcast on television you see is delayed.

Sometimes there are signs in game but for the most part you're still throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks.

And sometimes there are delays or glitches for the odds in game but 99% of books will catch it eventually. Bovada has a habit of withdrawing money the next day if something bad happens.

Hedge/Arb is fine but you need to have a ton of screens and windows open. Scoreboard and numbers galore. Sports gambling and gambing in general only leads to poor health and hair loss.

live betting a great idea. The sequence of runs/points is harder to predict than the win. So, when the team you want is losing it could be the time to bet. Buy the dip. lol
