One of the biggest advantages of online sports’ betting is the innovative option of live betting – also known as in-play or in-running betting. And when it comes to live bets, Sportingbet South Africa has it all!

How it all works

If you’re new to the concept of live betting, then you’re in the right place. Essentially, live bets involve placing a bet on a sporting event after it has already started. It takes the fun of betting and enhances it by adding the element of real-time excitement to the experience.

Sportingbet South Africa will provide you with odds on any match or contest ahead of its start, and these will change as the match progresses. There are so many elements that can affect the odds of a particular game – goals being scored, injuries, weather – and using a computer algorithm, the odds will fluctuate either in favour of or against your chosen team.

Benefits of live bets

If you’re a little bit indecisive or nervous about betting ahead of the game, live bets will give you a sneak preview of how the game is expected to go before you place your bet.
When a game is going to be so close to call that you just can’t decide, live bets will allow you to get a feel for how it’s going first.
With live bets you can put money down on different aspects of the game outside of just the winner, such as who will win the next point in tennis or sink the next ball in golf.
You have the option of changing your mind during the game and place an opposing bet.
You have more chance of winning because you have more insight into the game.

No matter what your preferred sports is – football, rugby union, cricket, basketball, horse racing or more – Sportingbet has exciting live betting options to choose from.
