Nowadays most bookmakers will allow you to bet in-play on football matches, but my preference for live in-play betting is on betting exchanges.
Wherever you choose to do it, there are a few things you should know about in-play betting:
1) There is always some sort of delay before your bet will be matched & accepted. This is usually about 8 seconds long. This is to prevent you placing a bet as a soon as a goal has been scored, or, if you were at the actual match and you had the quickest knowledge of there being a goal just been scored.
2) There are risks involved with in-play betting on football. For example you could place an in-play bet and just as your bet has been accepted, the opposition score a goal, your bet will have still been placed leaving you in a somewhat awkward position.
However the opposite can work in your favour also, the team you just backed can score a goal and take a more demanding lead in the match, then your bet was fantastic.
3) In-play betting can be fun if you are watching the match live. On exchanges when you see a team has a nice attack building up, you could actually place a back bet at this time, and if you are lucky enough at the end of the attack they would have scored a goal from it, and if the attack fails then you can always lay yourself back out the bet and try again next time. Something not possible at the bookmakers.
Just be careful though, the other team could always quickly get the ball and counter attack and score, leaving you in a very vulnerable position.
4) Also be careful of in-play betting particularly at bookmakers when not watching the game.
Occasionally their setup can make errors and show wrong results, and they are not liable for any errors they show. So keep an eye out for the event you are betting on, do not always rely entirely on what is being shown to you on one site.
