3. Less risk
Bookmakers have no time to analyze your stakes as odds are changing very quickly on live. It means that you have less risk to be identified as a gambler. Therefore, you have less chances to be limited by the bookie on live than on prematch.

Set your live arbs filters

First what should do a newbie is to set his live arbs filters correctly:

1. Select from 2 to 5 bookmakers. Go to your Account => Multifilters => Live => Edit:

You will go to the Edit filter page and select the needed bookmakers from the list recommended for newbies:

2. Determined with bookies, select several kinds of sport to  work on live:

Starters are recommended to play soccer and hockey, as there are less events there comparing to basketball, volleyball or tennis. Consequently, the odds are changing less frequently.

1. Start with small stakes. It will help you to get some practice and avoid big losses in case of failure.

2. You may encounter with different rules of accepting and calculating a bet at various bookmakers. That’s why you have to learn the rules before gambling.

3. Avoid betting on the last minutes of the game, set or match. Lots of bookies close the line 3-10 min before the competition ends. Consequently, you have a risk not to bet in time as a line at the other bookie would be already closed.

4. Quite often arbs appear in the end of the first time on TO/TU. You have to understand that first you have to bet on TU at one bookmaker and then on TO at the other. But here we have an undertone - you risk to lose all your money if you can’t make it with TO. 

5. If you haven’t time to make bet at one of the bookmakers, you may use “adjacent odds” option. You can select another bookmaker from the popup window with appropriate odds and manage to bet in time.
