Although most players will place their bets before the start of the match or race some events do allow you to place bets after the event has started. However, it’s important to note that the odds and the payout will be affected once the match has begun. There is also a cutoff point where players will no longer be allowed to make bets on live events. You won’t be able to place a bet on a football match which is about to end, and one team is completely dominating the other. You can get live updates while the match is being played in real time.
