BroederTuck Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Hi,I have a question about live betting. I like to participate occasionally in sports betting promotions and sometimes it involves placing a live bet on a match. But I'm a bit confused about when a prematch bet becomes a live one. Is it when the match moves to the live section of the site or is it when the match actually starts?Because there are often matches that haven't even started yet but are already only shown in the livebetting category. So when I bet on a match that hasn't started yet but is shown in the live section, is it a live bet or a prematch? And is this the same for the other major sports betting sites?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicadil Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 As soon as it goes into the live section, it's consider a live match. You can confirm this by placing a bet & it'll give you an option to cashout winnings. However, this option is not available with prematch bets. I debateShould I smile like everything's good and pretend that life is greatOr should I let the world see the real me and not hide this painI tried to be like the rest of y'all, sorry I just can'tI'ma probably die this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroederTuck Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 @Magicadil Thanks! But isn't the option to cash out also available for prematch bets? Because I've made a couple of football bets on team place finishes at the end of the season and I can cash those out if I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livertool Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Nowadays you can cash prematch out too. But i think they are live matches when they appear in live games section... @JeppeL @MarcoV @RayL confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonusPater Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Pretty sure it's as soon as it's moved to the live betting section. You can test it by placing a 0.1 bet and see if the "Live" tag appears in the betting history - if the live tag isn't there, it's considered a pre-match bet. I'd test it myself, but my balance is 0.0 :d :Waterfall:edit: adding a picture to show the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoV Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Good question, @BroederTuck. As the other guys suggest, it's considered a livebet as soon as you're placing the bet within the livebetting section.A good example is the NBA (basketball) where the matches tend to start 10-15 minutes after the scheduled starting time. This means that you can actually place a livebet before tip-off.The time you see on the left side of the bet is not necessarily the starting time (most of the times it will be) - it just indicate the time we close prematch bet offers on the match/event.
