In-Play
What is in-play betting?
In-play betting allows you to make wagers after an event has started, as well as right up until its conclusion. The concept has really been brought to life by online betting, as sites are now able to provide regularly updated odds on events of all kinds.
One of the big benefits of in-play betting is that you can watch the action unfold whilst deciding where to put your money. In addition, you can also trade your position.
