Can you give me more information regarding IN GAME BETTING?

[sherman]

I am very interested in learning more about in game betting. What books offer this? How many of the games is it offered on? What sports is it generally available on? anything else i should know?

 

[quantumleap]

I play at bet365.com but I am sure there are more. They offer in-game betting on a variety of sports: American sports such as football, basketball, etc. Also, European soccer and even cricket. They usually post a schedule of which games will be offered for in-game betting.

It works something like this, during the game you can still bet on the spread and the total although it is adjusted frequently to reflect the current score. In football you can bet on who will score next or what type of score it will be. Of course, the odds are adjusted for the likelihood of the next score. For example, "next score = touchdown" may be offered at -250 whereas "next score = field goal" might be +200 and even a bet can be made on "neither a touchdown or field goal" and that might be something like +1000.

I hope that cleared things up for you.

Sherman and Q, if you want to see the Grand Daddy of all interactive betting sites go to Tradesports.com.....you can spend hours there just cruising through their trades. Make sure you go through the tutorial a few times before you start to trade....I'm a Bond trader and it still confuses me at times.

They are regulated and reliable, also one of the few that you can instantly withdraw online with via Neteller.

WSEX is 10x better than Tradesports. www.wsex.com Take a look at it. Then call WSEX and ask for Steve if you have any questions. He will explain everything to you. Good luck.

Chuck:

is Wsex's platform like Tradesport's, or like bet365's?

TIA

Clanger, WSEX is similar to bet365 and both are great.....the difference with Tradesports is that TS uses a contract similar to the commodities market in Chicago to wager against other contract holders...its fun and complicated; they have a guest login to practice. I use them during the day to screw with DJIA and S&P closing numbers when I'm at work....I use bet365 for sports when in the interactive spirit...I used to have an account with WSEX but I became frustrated with there pull down wagering amount window.....but that was two years ago; have they changed?

Glaken,

WSEX has offered a contract style bet since January of 1997.

Sherman,

Just click on "live betting" and you will see all of the choices. There are a ton of live games Saturday.

From their site:

WSEX Futures Markets let you buy or sell teams or contestants during the course of a season, tournament, or GAME. The price will fluctuate between $0 and $100. Simply click on the price you want to buy or sell at, and select how many contracts you want at that price.

Note that you can sell a team short even if you don’t own any contracts.

I tried to post a copy of the HTML for WSEX interactive wagering for Saturday and Sunday......They have low bandwidth with an IBM server and Java block; There are Seven college NCAAFB wagers for Saturday and Six NFL for Sunday....

The negative in Tradesports is finding someone to bet against. During MLB season, most games had less than $100 to bet against. WSEX interactives has almost unlimited as they cover the buying and selling of contracts.

 

[JayC]

Glaken,

I know for sure that they are not running on an IBM server, they always have more than ample bandwidth.

What do you mean by a java block?

It's easy to list every event in the world, it;s another thing to actually provide liquidity.

 

[Glaken]

Bet365 during MLB....if you don't go interactive you can tease the runline up to 2.5, totals as well.

thanx for the info guys, im gonna look into it more!
