Live Betting

Sky Bet offer a massive range of live betting opportunities online.  Live betting, or in running betting, is where you can bet on a sport whilst it is happening.  This might be, for example, betting on a tennis match whilst you are watching it on the TV, or even betting on the football as it happens.

Live betting is very popular as it offers people the chance to have a live bet after they’ve had a chance to watch a bit of the action, and hence had a chance to determine which team looks better, or which player looks more likely to win.  To place a live bet is simple, it works in the same manner as placing a normal bet, but is subject to a small delay of a few seconds, to allow for the fact that the odds might change as you’re placing the bet.

Popular sports for live betting include football, where you can bet on markets such as “next team to score,” “next goalscorer” and traditional markets such as match winner and correct score.  Tennis is also very popular for live bets, and you can place a live bet on markets such as “total points in next game,” “next game winner” and “next game receiving points” amongst many more.

For slower paced sports, such as cricket, live betting makes the action much more exciting as you can place a series of bets throughout the day as play progresses.  Place your live bets using Sky Bet’s live betting console, Sky Bet Live, which is available on Sky Bet whenever there is live sport available on which to bet.
