Bet365 live betting – Bet on live matches

Live betting (also called in-play betting) lets you place bets while a match or event is already underway. At Bet365, live betting may be available on selected sports and events, depending on your location.

Because odds update in real time, live betting works a bit differently from pre-match betting.

Live betting allows you to place wagers after an event has started. Odds change as the action unfolds, reflecting things like:

• goals, points, or scores
• momentum shifts
• time remaining in the event

You’re betting based on what’s happening right now, not just pre-game expectations.

Live betting markets can include:

• match winner
• next goal or point
• over/under totals
• handicaps

The exact markets available depend on the sport and how far along the event is. Some options may appear or disappear as the match progresses.

Live odds can change quickly — sometimes within seconds. This means:

• an odds offer may expire before you confirm
• bets may be re-priced before acceptance
• markets can be temporarily suspended during key moments

These pauses are normal and help ensure bets reflect the current state of play.

Live betting can feel fast-paced, which makes it easier to bet impulsively. It helps to:

• decide your budget before the event starts
• avoid placing bets just to stay involved
• understand the market before clicking “place bet”

Being familiar with the sport and market is especially important when betting live.

Live betting offers flexibility, but it’s not automatically better than pre-match betting.

Live betting:

• reacts to real-time events
• involves quickly changing odds

Pre-match betting:

• gives you more time to consider your choices
• offers stable odds before kickoff

Some players prefer one over the other — there’s no single “right” approach.

Because live betting moves quickly, responsible gambling tools matter even more. Bet365 offers options like:

• deposit limits
• time-out or self-exclusion tools

Using these tools can help keep live betting under control.
