What is live sports betting?

Live sports betting has revolutionised the way we enjoy betting on football, rugby, cricket and the like. Over the past 20 years the development of online software and explosion in sports stats collection means you can now live bet in play on practically any professional event.

In-play betting is different to traditional sports betting because the markets remain open while the action unfolds. When there are changes to the match, race or event, then the in-play betting odds change accordingly.

So, for example, you may bet on New Zealand to beat Australia at rugby. New Zealand are the pre-game favourites, but Australia score two early tries. The live rugby odds immediately change, so Australia are now the favourites.

There are scores of betting markets for you to track in the live odds, and they range from which horse will finish second in a race, to which ice hockey player will score next.

At the start of a match, you will have the pre-match odds for a wide range of betting markets. During the game, the number of markets will decrease. However, there is still a large number of bets that you'll be able to place. As the game progresses, the available markets will continue to change to reflect the events taking place.

For example, in football betting, if a player has made three fouls in the opening stages without being carded, the betting odds for that player to be booked in the cards betting market will be impacted, but if you pre-empt this, you can find some fantastic odds when you bet in-play.

Best Markets For Live Sports Betting

Live betting offers dynamic options, and some markets stand out for their popularity across a number of sports. Here's a quick rundown of key markets available at BetUK:

Cards Betting

Primarily popular in football, card betting involves wagering on the number of yellow or red cards issued during a match.

You can bet on the total cards, cards for a specific team or even individual players to be carded. Live betting here allows you to react to the game's flow and player behaviour.

Over/Under Goals (or Points)

This market is applicable to various sports. In football, it focuses on the total number of goals scored by a team or in a match. In sports like basketball or American football, it applies to the total points scored. Here, you bet on whether the final total will be over or under a specified number.

Next Team To Score

Relevant to most team sports, this bet is about predicting which team will score the next goal or points. It's a great market for reading the momentum of a live game and can also be used as a form of insurance bet.

Final Score

This market involves betting on the exact final score of a match. Live betting here is highly dynamic as certain score possibilities become less likely as the game progresses. It requires close attention to the unfolding events and quick decision-making.
