Live Betting: Real-Time Odds on Today’s Games

Live betting is wagering on a game or match after it has started, with odds updated in real time as the action unfolds. At BetUS, live betting, also called in-play betting, is available across major sports and selected events, including soccer, tennis, baseball, football, basketball and golf.

How live odds change: Live odds incorporate the current score, time remaining, scoring pace, player performance and other developments that affect the expected outcome. Depending on the sport and market, prices can change after a goal, point, pitch, possession or other significant event.

For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our live betting guide.

Soccer Live Betting

Soccer live betting begins after kickoff, with markets adjusting as goals, cards, substitutions, score changes and other match events change the game state.

Markets available live:

• Game Result (1 / X / 2) — the result of the match, including the draw
• Match Handicap — a goal-based adjustment applied to the match result
• Match Total (Over/Under) — whether the combined number of goals finishes above or below the listed total
• Next team to score — which team scores the next goal
• Player props — shots on target, goals, assists

How live soccer differs from pre-match: Pre-match soccer prices are based on expectations before kickoff. Once the match starts, the score, remaining time and events on the pitch become part of the pricing picture.

• Game Total — total games played

How live tennis betting differs from pre-match

Tennis is a fast-moving live market because a single break of serve can materially change the match state. Pre-match prices provide the starting point; live prices incorporate what has happened since the first serve.

Baseball Live Betting (MLB)

MLB live betting is wagering on a baseball game after the first pitch, with odds responding to the score, inning, baserunners and pitching changes. At BetUS, live baseball markets include game winner, run line, total and player props, depending on the game and what is offered at the time.

What markets are available for live baseball betting?

• Game Winner — 2-way (no draw in baseball; extra innings resolve the winner)

• Total (Over/Under) — combined runs scored
• Player props — strikeouts, hits, home runs

How live baseball betting differs from pre-match

Baseball’s game state changes pitch by pitch. A runner reaching base, an additional out or a change in pitcher can alter the available prices before the next at-bat begins. Pre-match prices reflect starting pitchers and lineups.

Golf live odds can shift on every hole, especially on the back nine of the final round. A double-bogey can materially alter a player’s tournament price, particularly late in the final round. Golf pre-match odds reflect course history and recent form. Live prices incorporate the current score, hole-by-hole results, leaderboard position and playing conditions.

Live Betting Markets by Sport

• Point Spread: A market that applies a points-based adjustment to the final score to account for the difference between two teams. In soccer and golf, the equivalent market is called handicap. In tennis it is called game spread, for baseball the run line, and for hockey the puck line.
• Totals (Over/Under): A game total is set by the oddsmakers. You can bet either over or under the combined score. Team totals are also available.
• Player Props: A designated total on a player’s individual statistics, such as passing yards, shots, assists or rebounds. Available before the game and, for many events, during it.
• Team Props: Props on teams work the same way as player props, but are based on the team’s performance rather than an individual player’s.

Live betting covers games and events in progress. For pre-event markets, BetUS also lists midterm odds on U.S. elections and the 2028 presidential race.
