What is Live Betting?

Also referred to as in-game betting, live betting is what the name implies. It's betting on a game while it’s in progress.

The markets available for live betting will look similar to the options that were open to you before the game got underway. However, there is one major difference - the odds are subject to change throughout the game.

You can bet on the outcome of the game after it starts, i.e., point spread, Moneyline, etc. Some sportsbooks will offer lines on who will win the first and second half, and most will offer an assortment of player props.

But where live betting differs from traditional betting is in the markets that become available once a game is underway - the outcome of the next drive, what the next play will be, etc.

Live Betting Strategies

If you want, you can log in to your account, navigate to the game you're interested in (in this case, Super Bowl LIX) and start betting. But live betting is a lot like betting on traditional markets - you need to have a plan.

Otherwise, you'll likely bleed your bankroll dry rather than win a few bets. Bet smart. Have a plan of attack (a strategy) before you start betting your hard-earned money.

Here are a few strategies we recommend…

Line Shop

You do it all the time when you're putting money down on pre-game markets. You should do it when you live bet as well. It can be a little trickier when a game is in progress, as lines move rapidly. But if you are prepared to do so from the start, it shouldn't be too difficult.

And you can maximize your earning potential.

Watch the Game

How else are you going to get the data you need to make betting decisions? Live betting on a game you are not watching is just guesswork. If you want to risk money on a guess, play the lottery.

Bet on Favorites That Fall Behind Early

Take advantage of the overreaction to the favorite falling behind early. When it happens, the line will usually adjust, and the favorite can become the underdog, making bets on the new underdog an incredible value play.

Best Super Bowl LIX Live Bets

Calling something a 'best bet' can be tricky before kick-off since whether or not it becomes one will depend on how the game plays out. To that end, if the  following scenarios become a reality, bet accordingly:

Take the Under If...

Live betting lines adjust as the game plays out. If there is a lot of early scoring, the total will adjust in response. Once it does, take the under. Why? As the game goes on, defenses will adjust and scoring will decrease, if not stop completely.

But take the Over If...

Let's say the first quarter of Super Bowl LIX ends with the Eagles up 3-0 or the score at the half is 13-10. Just like defenses adjust to offenses that start hot, a cold offense can adjust to the defense and heat up, too.

Bet the Chiefs If...

They fall behind early. No one makes half-time adjustments quite like Andy Reid. Kansas City trailed at half-time in five games this season. In those games, they won four. With Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, the Chiefs have won over 60% of games where they trailed at the half.
