 Live in-game betting on sport events is arguably the most exciting thing to happen in the gambling industry for many years. This doesn’t underestimate all the other achievements online casinos and bookmakers have made over the past 15 years, but making live in-play bets is really something that changes the whole game. The options for combinations and short-term bets are now really immense, making players flexible and adding some real spice to the match day fun. Many gamers now choose to watch a game they intend to bet on just so that they can place live bets on it, taking advantage of bigger odds, as well as the more standard bets which are most often placed before a sporting event and often checked on after the event has finished.

Betting live, however, requires knowing how the odds change. Firstly, bookmakers set prices on markets just as they would in any ordinary gambling market. These odds however shorten or lengthen according to the events as they happen. Of course, this all happens under the constant supervision of the statisticians responsible for setting the odds for the bookmaker. Odds are also changed under the influence of bets already placed on a particular outcome. Those changes are usually pretty small, not having an impact over the balance as a whole unless a particular event sees an unusual amount of betting activity on it. These odds by betsafe however shorten or lengthen according to the events as they happen.

It is also important to note that some live bets are based on spreads. In those cases the odds don’t change, just the rules of the market. So, to start with an example, one of the easiest ways to try winning on the NBA is as follows: watch the game and wait for one of the teams to score a few more baskets than would be expected. There is an average spread between the score of one team and the other. You can always check some statistics, since the teams play a lot of games against each other each season. Betting on +13.5 spread between teams that usually end separated in 6-8 points is a good call that should be offered at attractive odds.

In football there are regularly games where one team is such clear a clear favourite to win the match, or at least not lose it, that there is barely any point in betting on that outcome. However, if the unfancied team scores first the odds will tilt in that team’s favor, making it then more worthwhile to bet on the favourite coming from behind. The later the game goes with the underdog still in front, the better the odds you will then get on the favourite coming from behind to win.

Betsson is starting the year with an absolutely mouth-watering giveaway. One lucky winner in January will jet off to New Orleans with a friend on a Carnival adventure to attend the Mardi Gras in March of this year. In order to win players need to top the Mardi Gras Leaderboard. This is achieved by playing any of three newly launched slot machine games, available on both desktop and mobile. A jackpot win on either of the three new slot games will get you into the game and every further jackpot will propel you into and then up the Leaderboard. Whichever player has won the most in jackpot strikes on the new slots over January will win the trip – a double bonus.
Jazz of New Orleans is the first game eligible for the New Orleans Jackpot Quest. This is a brightly coloured five reel slot themed on the nightlife and jazz culture of New Orleans, the grand dame of the Deep South. The symbols are whisky glasses, crab dinners, music-related images and sultry women, creating an atmosphere which evokes thoughts of sweaty, alcohol-lubricated nights of fun and music on the long, hot summer nights of old New Orleans.
Ring the Bells is the second slot in the New Orleans Jackpot Quest. This game has a traditional feel to it. It is three reels and has fruits and gold just like those good old-fashioned fruit machines in the pubs used to have! And, perhaps unsurprisingly given the name, you have bells. The jackpot is activated when you move into bell mode, which occurs whenever five or more bells come up at once on a spin. This game is fast-paced and simple and one for the traditionalists.
Cowboy Treasure is the third and final slot to figure in this particular prize giveaway and as the name would suggest, it has a Wild West theme to it. This is a five reel game with relatively simply and slightly childish visuals. It is pretty much the same game as Jazz of New Orleans with the Wild West theme, but visually Jazz is the far more attractive game. So unless you have a penchant for cowboys you will probably prefer to play on Jazz.
