How real-time in-play betting works, which sports are covered, tips to bet smarter, and why live betting is the most exciting way to follow a match.
If you have only ever placed bets before a match starts, you are missing out on one of the most exciting things online betting has to offer. Live betting — also called in-play betting — is a completely different experience. The match is already happening, the momentum is shifting, and you can place or update your bets based on exactly what you are watching unfold in real time.
Standard pre-match betting means you place a wager before the game starts. You pick a team, a total, or some other outcome, and then wait for the match to finish to see if you won. Live betting is different. You bet while the match is happening. The odds change continuously based on the live action — a wicket falls in cricket, a goal is scored in football, a key player gets injured — and you can place new bets at any point during the game.
Reddybook Pro Live is the platform's dedicated feature for this kind of betting, built specifically for speed and real-time responsiveness. Once you try it during a match you care about, pre-match betting feels quite tame by comparison.
Watch the match and use what you see to make decisions. If a team starts poorly but you know they are strong performers, you may get a better price on them live.
Odds shift rapidly based on in-game events. A temporary swing in momentum can push odds up on a team you believe will recover, creating genuine value opportunities.
Instead of just one bet per match, live betting gives you dozens throughout the game. Each over in cricket, each quarter in basketball, each half in football opens new markets.
Simply put, it is more fun. Watching a match while having a live bet active makes every ball, every tackle, and every rally feel significantly more important.
Navigate to the Live or In-Play section from the main menu or homepage. You will see all currently ongoing matches across different sports with their live status displayed.
Each match shows the current score, time elapsed, and available live odds. Click on any match to open the full market with real-time data and all available outcomes.
Browse the available markets and click the outcome you want to bet on. The odds update automatically every few seconds as the match progresses — act quickly on the prices you want.
A bet slip appears where you enter the amount you want to wager. Review the bet carefully before confirming — check the odds and the outcome one more time.
The bet is placed instantly. It appears in your My Bets section where you can monitor it throughout the match as the live action continues.
The most active live market. Bet per over, per session, or on the full match outcome. IPL and international matches bring especially deep markets.
International leagues and domestic competitions covered. Next goal, match result, total goals, and many more markets throughout every match.
Pro Kabaddi League and other tournaments supported. A growing live category with real-time markets as the game develops.
Point-by-point and set-by-set live betting for major ATP, WTA, and Grand Slam tournaments. Tennis can swing dramatically — ideal for live betting.
Quarter-by-quarter markets available for major leagues. Fast-paced action means frequent odds updates and plenty of in-play opportunities.
Coverage varies by season and tournament, but you will generally find live markets on most major sporting events running on any given day.
Beyond sports, there is also a live casino section that uses the word live in a different way. Here, live refers to real dealers running games through a video feed. Instead of a computer-generated outcome, you watch an actual person deal cards, spin a roulette wheel, or manage the game table in real time. You place your bets through the screen and the results are determined by what happens in front of the camera.
Live Teen Patti: Hugely popular in India, this card game is hosted by a real dealer and played with other users simultaneously. Fast rounds and familiar rules make it instantly enjoyable.
Live Andar Bahar: Another Indian favourite — simple to understand, fast-paced, and available around the clock with real dealers at the table.
Live Roulette: Watch the wheel spin in real time and bet on where the ball will land. The visual element adds a level of excitement that digital versions cannot match.
Live Blackjack: Play against a real dealer trying to get as close to 21 as possible. Multiple tables and stake levels are available to suit all types of players.
Live Baccarat: A simple card game with fast rounds, popular with experienced casino players. The live dealer format adds authenticity and transparency to every hand.
Watch the match if possible: The biggest advantage of live betting is the ability to react to what you are actually seeing. If you are only going by numbers on screen without watching, you lose a lot of the edge that live betting can give you.
Know the sport well: Live betting rewards knowledge. The better you understand how teams play, how conditions affect performance, and what a key player's absence means, the better your decisions will be in the moment.
Set a live betting budget: It is easy to place multiple bets in quick succession during live betting. Set a specific budget for each session before you start and stick to it. Do not keep dipping in trying to recover from a bad bet.
Do not bet on everything: Just because many markets are available does not mean you need to use all of them. Pick the ones you understand best and focus your attention there for better results.
Accept that odds shift: If you take too long to confirm a bet, the odds may change. This is the nature of live betting. Decide whether the new odds still represent value or simply move on to the next opportunity.
Use cash out if available: Many platforms offer a cash out option during live betting, which lets you settle your bet before the match ends — locking in a profit or limiting a loss when conditions change unexpectedly.
Live betting is fast and exciting — and those same qualities can make it easy to lose track of how much you are spending. A few simple rules keep the experience enjoyable rather than stressful.
Decide your session budget before you start, not after things go wrong. Knowing your limit in advance removes the temptation to chase losses in the heat of the moment.
Take breaks. If you have been following a long match and placing multiple bets, step away for a few minutes. A short break helps you reset your thinking and approach the next decision more clearly.
Avoid betting under emotional pressure. Chasing a loss with a quick live bet rarely ends well. If you are feeling frustrated or impulsive, that is a sign to stop for the session, not to place one more bet.
Use account tools. The platform allows you to set deposit and spending limits from within your account settings. Use them before you start — it is a small step that makes a significant difference over time. Live betting should always be an enjoyable part of following sports, not a source of stress.
Pre-match betting means placing a wager before the game starts. Live betting means betting while the match is already happening, with odds that update continuously based on the live action.
Cricket is the most active live betting market on the platform, especially during IPL and major international tournaments. Markets include every over, every session, and full match outcomes.
Because the match is in progress. Every wicket, goal, or key moment shifts the probabilities of different outcomes, so the platform updates odds continuously to reflect what is actually happening.
The live casino features real dealers hosting games like Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, roulette, blackjack, and baccarat through a video feed. You watch the actual game unfold and place bets through your screen.
If the cash out feature is available on your bet, yes. It allows you to settle the bet before the match ends — either locking in a profit or limiting a loss depending on how the match is going.
Log in, open the Live section, and experience cricket and more in real time — ball by ball, bet by bet.
