When to Use Other Apps
FanDuel: If you want a cleaner interface with excellent speed. FanDuel's live betting is easier to navigate if you find bet365 overwhelming. Great for American sports.
DraftKings: Best for live player props. If you want to bet "next player to score" or other live props, DraftKings often has more options.
Multiple apps: Live odds vary significantly between books during games. Having 2-3 apps open lets you grab the best line on the fly.
Live betting favors quick decisions and discipline. Set a budget specifically for live bets — it's easy to chase momentum. Focus on sports you know well, and don't bet every possession. Wait for spots where you see value the market hasn't adjusted to yet.
Live Betting Tips
Watch the game. Live betting is most profitable when you're actually watching. You'll see things — injuries, momentum shifts, fatigue — before the odds fully adjust.
Have accounts ready. Sign up and fund accounts before you need them. During a game, you don't have time to register. Be ready to bet at multiple books.
Use cash out wisely. Cash out lets you settle bets early. It's useful for locking in profit or cutting losses, but sportsbooks price it in their favor. Don't cash out reflexively.
