Live sports betting on Bet777

Live betting allows you to place bets on a match after it has started, with odds changing throughout the event. On Bet777, live markets are available for most competitions in football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.

Once the match has started, the available information changes continuously. The score, playing time, goals, cards, substitutions and other events can affect the odds and available markets. Some bets may be suspended for a few seconds when an event takes place. They then become available again with updated odds.

How does live betting work?

The principle differs from placing a bet before a match starts. With live betting, the situation in the match is already known when you make your selection. The score may have changed, a team may be playing with ten players, or the match may be further advanced than expected before kick-off.

The odds are therefore updated continuously. For example, if a team is leading 1-0 after sixty minutes, the odds for the final result will no longer be the same as they were before kick-off. The available options may also change depending on how the match develops.

On Bet777, you can find the available live markets directly in the betting interface. You can select a market, view the odds at the time of your bet and check the associated information before confirming your stake.

Which sports can you bet on live?

Live betting is mainly associated with football, but the offering also includes many other sports. Depending on the sports schedule and available events, live markets may include:

• Football
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Handball
• Volleyball
• Ice hockey
• Formula 1

The number of matches and markets available varies according to the day's sports schedule. Not every match necessarily offers the same live options.

The main live betting markets

Match result

The match result market allows you to bet on the outcome of a match while it is already in progress. In football, the three usual options are a home win, a draw and an away win.

A change in the score can quickly affect the odds for this market.

Next goal

For some football matches, a market may be available for the team that will score the next goal. This market is directly linked to the course of the match and may be temporarily suspended during certain phases of play.

Over or under goals

Over/Under markets can be offered with different goal lines. During a live match, the number of goals already scored is taken into account when determining which lines are available.

A match that is still 0-0 after 30 minutes will therefore have different markets from a match in which several goals have already been scored. 

Both teams to score

The ‘Both Teams to Score’ market may remain available during part of the match. The odds change depending on the score and the time remaining.

Handicap

With a handicap, you bet on a team with a theoretical advantage or disadvantage determined by the handicap line offered. With live betting, this line can be adjusted as the match progresses.

Corners and cards

Markets for corners or cards may also be available for certain matches. The number of corners or cards already recorded during the match can affect the lines offered for the remainder of the game.

Why do odds change during a match?

Live odds are not fixed. They can be recalculated following different events or based on the time remaining.

In a football match, several factors can lead to changes in the markets:

• A goal
• A red card
• A penalty
• An injury
• A substitution
• A change in the score
• The time remaining

After a goal, for example, some markets may be temporarily suspended. This allows the situation to be processed and new odds to be calculated before the market is reopened.

Following statistics during live betting

The data displayed during an event can help you follow how it is developing. Depending on the sport and match, the available information may include the score, playing time, corners, cards, shots and other statistics.

This data describes the course of the match but does not make it possible to know the result in advance. Markets remain subject to the terms of the bet and the events that occur until the end of the match.

Live betting on mobile

Live bets are also available on a compatible smartphone or tablet. Through the interface, you can view available events, open live markets and follow changes in the odds from a mobile device.

Users following a match while on the go can use live markets to view the available options without having to wait until the end of the match. The availability of events does, however, depend on the sports schedule and the coverage offered.

Bet Builder and live betting

When the feature is available for a match, Bet Builder allows you to combine multiple selections for the same match. Depending on the markets available, it may be possible to combine different selections relating to the result, goals or certain statistics.

The combination options may differ during a live match from those available before kick-off. Some markets may not be compatible with each other or may disappear as the match develops.

Live betting requires quick decisions as an event unfolds. Bet777 provides responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits, gaming breaks and self-exclusion options, to help users stay in control of their activity.
