Why should I bet live on the Euro 2012?

By placing your bet live this Euro as per our recommendation you may find extra value. This because most bookmakers will be loaded up on "risk" pre-game. As in finance, bettors (investors) can be seen as a herd moving together to the percieved most attractive odds (usually the favorite, or the hottest stock out there at the time). This usually happens because of the noise from the media and lots of internet forums etc. They really can create lots of cognitive biases in our simple minds. 

So; what you are to learn from this is that the excessive risk (money wagered) by most people on single outcomes ,means many bookmakers will try to "hedge" their bets using live betting. How do they do this? They lay the other side of the bet, and hope some one takes it. This can typically be in a game such as the Euro 2012 group B game: Netherlands - Denmark. Netherlands are priced around 3/5 (1.60). Most leisure punters, including a small but influential group of highrollers will bombard the Dutch odds. Many scenarios can open up once the game has kicked off. We all know the ball is round, and we SHOULD KNOW that this gives us a chance to go value hunting. Here are some examples:

If you have bet on Denmark after seeing the odds drop perhaps you can lay off your bet should Denmark go one goal up. If you have bet Netherlands at a good price, perhaps you can even get to create a nice surewin should the Dutch go up to 1-0 early. Then the bookies would try even harder get some money on the Danes. Perhaps the game is 0-0 at 75 minutes? Normally you would get a low odds on the draw here, but during this Euro 2012 live betting session you most likely still would get decent odds. 

These said examples illustrate possibilities that arise during live betting generally. There are many other ways to profit as well. During the Euro 2012 we will look at such situations and help you improve your live betting skills. Be sure to check in again.
