What happens when a match goes live
- The event card flips to a red LIVE badge the moment the start time arrives — automatically, for every sport.
- Scores, overs and match clocks update continuously; the Live page refreshes itself every few seconds without a reload.
- You can still bet: odds are locked at the instant you place, then the match marches on.
Every sport keeps its own clock
| Sport | Live display | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Football | Minute 1–90 | ~2 hours |
| Cricket (T20) | Overs, two innings | ~3 hours |
| Basketball | 48-minute clock | ~2.5 hours |
| Tennis | Sets won | ~2.5 hours |
| MMA | Rounds | ~35 minutes |
| Esports (CS2) | Maps won | ~2 hours |
In-play strategy that survives contact
- Pre-plan your live entry. Decide before the match: 'if the favourite concedes early, I back them at better odds.'
- Momentum is loud, regression is quiet. A 16-run over feels decisive; over a full innings it is one data point.
- Cap live bets per match. One planned entry beats five reactive ones — chasing the scoreboard is how sessions unravel.
Settlement, hands-free
