Experience the Excitement of Live Betting South Africa

Live sports betting is the most exciting way to bet on sports, as the odds fluctuate every few moments, reflecting the situation in the arena. 

One team can be a heavy underdog, but if they score an early goal, they might suddenly be in the lead. If you think the opposing team will turn things around, place a live bet as soon as possible, as the odds of winning might shorten if they score a quick equaliser. Better yet, if you feel like the second goal will come quickly, like in the next 10 minutes, you can bet on that or on dozens of other live markets.

10bet live betting allows you to leverage the situation during an ongoing sports event. You will work with real-time information, which helps you make a more informed decision. There’s also a larger number of live bets than pregame ones, adding excitement and versatility to your experience.

How Does Live Betting Work on the 10bet Live Betting Platform?

Live or in-play betting entails placing wagers on any event that has already started. To bet live on 10bet, you’ll first need to create an account and have some money in your balance. Optionally, you can claim our sports welcome bonus, too. After you sort out the technicalities, you can start enjoying a broad range of our live betting options.

Once an event starts, you can find it in the Live Betting section of our website or app. There, you’ll see all live events categorised by sport for easier navigation, with each sport’s logo showing a number of current games next to it. Initially, there will be just a few main markets for each event, and if you wish to extend the number of markets, simply hit the plus icon.

After you decide which live bet you want to make, click/tap on the corresponding odds, and you’ll see it on the bet slip. From there, you just need to fill out your bet slip with the amount of money you want to stake and confirm.

Mind that the odds may change between the time you decide to make a bet and the moment you hit the Place Bet button, which is why you must be quick. To control how you make bets with fluctuating odds, you can go to “set odds changes” and toggle the “accept any odds change” button in the bet slip area.

10bet Live Betting Strategy Example

Live betting presents plenty of strategic opportunities, one of them being hedge betting. 

Let’s say that there’s a basketball game in progress, and you wish to place some bets on it. First, go to Live Betting and select basketball from the sports menu. Find the game you want to bet on and hit the plus icon to see all available markets.

The live markets will be divided into several categories, including main ones like the winner of the game, handicaps, and totals, and several types of props like halves, quarters, team props, and more.

For example, the Boston Celtics are playing the Miami Heat, and the Celtics lead 21:14 with four minutes left in the first quarter. You think that Miami will turn things around and lead at the half, so you open the halves tab and choose Miami in the first half 1X2 market with the odds of 5.00.

In the second quarter, the Heat managed to turn things around and take a 38:42 lead with almost five minutes left to halftime. The odds have now shifted in Miami’s favour, and all of a sudden, the odds for Boston leading at halftime have lengthened significantly, rising to 2.20.

What you can now do is hedge this bet. Since you already have some money on the Heat winning the half, you can place the same amount of money on Boston to win the half and a small bet for a tie. This way, you’ll guarantee yourself a profit no matter what the outcome is.
