BetMGM provides a comprehensive range of live odds on its online sports betting pages. You can place in-play wagers on different sports, including football, basketball, and baseball.
Live NFL odds feature the moneyline, spread, total, and various other markets. Place bets depending on how the action is unfolding.
For example, you may think the Buffalo Bills' offence will dominate the Seattle Seahawks' defence after watching the first quarter. You can place an in-play NFL wager on the Bills to hit their points over.
What Is Live Betting
Live betting refers to wagers placed after a game has started. It is an increasingly popular form of sports betting, as bettors can react to how the game is going.
The BetMGM sportsbook constantly updates its odds. Markets will change depending on the performances of the respective teams.
For instance, if the Toronto Raptors are on a 15-1 run in the second quarter against the Boston Celtics, the Raptors NBA odds to win the game are going to shorten.
How to Bet on Live Odds
With how quickly odds are updated, it’s important to be decisive when placing live bets. You do not have as much time to weigh up the markets.
Instead, you need to quickly place a wager when identifying a value bet. The market could be taken off the board or the price may change if you take too much time.
If you’re looking at golf odds, you may fancy Scottie Scheffler to birdie on the next hole. The odds will only be available for a short period. You might like the value on Rory McIlroy to finish in the top five – you can place futures on McIlroy throughout the event and during his rounds.
Live Moneylines
Moneylines are the simplest form of sports betting. A moneyline bet is a wager on a team to win a game.
For example, NHL odds may make the Toronto Maple Leafs -200 favourites on the moneyline after the first period against the Edmonton Oilers.
A $10 bet on the Maple Leafs would have a potential return of $15.
Live Totals
The BetMGM sportsbook offers live totals. Lines move up and down throughout a game, depending on team performance, weather, and other factors.
Let’s use the Toronto Blue Jays facing the Seattle Mariners as an example. If the score is 2-2 after the first inning, the total in MLB odds will increase. If the pregame line was 7.5, it could climb to 9.5 or 10.5 after a high-scoring first frame.
Bettors then wager on whether the total number of runs will be over or under this updated number of runs.
In this example, a live bet could be placed on under 10.5 runs. There would need to be 10 or fewer runs for this wager to pay out.
Live Betting Parlays
Bettors can construct live betting parlays at BetMGM. A parlay is when multiple selections are combined into one wager.
All of the selections need to win for the bet to pay out. Odds on a live betting parlay increase each time a selection is added.
You can combine a range of markets in a parlay. You could take a couple of teams on the live moneyline from the football odds page and put them in a parlay with a live total from the baseball odds page.
