When you hear sports book talk about live betting, they talk about bets like whether or not the next play is going to be a first down or if the team will score a TD or a FG on the drive or run/pass on the next play. They want a ton of yismans getting a degen high on small bets that are mostly boring. So not sure live betting is ever really going to be a thing.

 

They will be able to offer small limits on live betting because they will say if you want to bet bigger you can just bet the full game bets.

 

I hear pro gamblers kind of fantasizing about live betting being at reduced juiced and the opportunities that will create but I don't think that is what the sportsbooks are planning on. They just want people engaged for the whole game and betting small non-stop.

Yeah only all of Europe is live betting on soccer daily for huge sums and the 2 largest syndicates of NBA are only betting live every night.. maybe one day

Yeah, I hear live betting is huge in Europe. But are US bettors going to really ever change to live betting even if it is available? This market may be hard-wired at this point. US sports also seem a lot more complex for live betting than soccer.

 

Live betting to me seems like an in casino thing rather than something people will want to do on their phone or laptop.

i think it's the opposite, making and cashing a single bet is more of a casino thing... making a ton of bets is something easier done at home

Yeah, but if you are dealing with these kind of first down bets and such, that is kind of an in-casino thing where they put the options up on the screen as you watch the game. Whereas, if you are betting Fox Bets on your phone, you have to go through hell trying to find bets. 

 

Soccer is also something that it seems is a perfect sport for live betting because not much has changed and you've got lots of time to think. Whereas, if you have the under on Boise State and you are watching it on ESPN, you've got enough sweat as it is. You've got too much stress to be fiddling for other bets and trying to live bet.

most live betting is just game spread/total, not that goofy shit that the sportsbook managers talk about (result of next drive, etc)

 

who is gonna bet into those stupid lines with crazy juice?

 

result of next drive

fg/td -120

punt -120

other +200

Yeah, that is why I don't think live betting really translates to the US market. I can see how live betting works for soccer. That is such a slow game and you see it play out, so you can adjust your bets as it goes. Football and basketball are too fast paced and high scoring for that sort of thing I think.
