Live betting at Ladbrokes
We live in a busy world and it’s not always possible to place a bet before the start of the big match or one of the weekly tennis and golf tournaments.
At Ladbrokes, we are committed to bringing you the best sporting experience and that’s why we introduced live betting so that you can get involved with many sports while the action unfolds.
Perhaps you’re unsure before kick-off who will win the televised game but one team seems to be on the front foot in the early stages or maybe the underdogs have taken a shock lead.
If you fancy the favourites to launch a comeback, their in-play odds will be higher if they are a goal down than when the game started.
Live betting is not just restricted to football as we provide odds on the latest golf, tennis, basketball, snooker and darts tournaments amongst many others.
We’re on the ball when it comes to live betting, but let’s look in more detail at what Ladbrokes has to offer.
In-play odds
One of the great advantages of having an account with Ladbrokes is that you can watch live sport to give you a better understanding of how the match is going.
Just click on the Watch Live option from the In-Play link on the home page and you will gain access to live streams of matches from all over the world either on your tablet, laptop or mobile using the Ladbrokes app.
And to help you make informed decisions with in-play betting on football, we have loads of statistics in our Match Live service which provides instant updates during the course of the game.
Click on a live match and you will see which team is dominating possession and leading in the ‘shots on target’ or ‘corner’ count which can also be split between the first and second halves so you can make a judgement about whether a team has improved after the break.
While you’re checking out these stats, you can also see a representation of the ball being plotted in a live graphic which shows when a side is in possession or launching a dangerous attack.
Football is the biggest game in the world, but we haven’t neglected some of the other sports which are ideal for live betting.
Don’t worry if you missed the first tee-off at the latest DP World Tour or PGA Tour event because you can get live golf odds over all four days.
If you like to bet in play, it’s sometimes worth backing a player who has not made the best of starts in the opening round because the odds are so much bigger than when the field started from scratch.
Ladbrokes are constantly updating the in-play odds minute by minute and with leaderboards forever fluctuating it can make for an exciting four days.
Similarly, our live tennis betting service from tournaments all over the world means you can back a player at bigger odds if they are trailing by a set or perhaps you suspect the pre-match outsider is looking sharp having broken serve early on.
In this case, the player’s in-play odds may be lower than before a ball was hit, but are still worth taking when looking at how the match is developing.
Elsewhere, basketball is a fast-moving game and teams can go on a strong run of unanswered points which are reflected in the live betting odds and don’t forget you can watch some of the best teams in the world live.
Whichever sport you love, when it comes to in-play betting Ladbrokes has it covered
