Finding your way around Bovada Live
To Make a Bet in Bovada Live
1. There are 2 ways to find Live Betting.
- When logged into Bovada Sports, click on ‘Live Betting’ on the upper left hand corner of the page to access the Live Betting Console.
- You can also access Live Betting from an event page. If live betting is available for a particular sport a LIVE button is displayed beside the game. If the event has live wagering available, the event page will display the live odds for the event after the pre-game lines go off the board.
2. To select your bet amount: Click one of the bet amount buttons, click the up or down arrow until you reach the amount you want to bet, if the 'Quick Bet Mode' is selected or type an amount in the box.
Note: that your bet amount can't exceed your current available Bovada account balance, which is your total balance less any pending bets.
3. In the Props list or Live Full Games Lines, click the button for the bet you want to make. The bet details are displayed in your ‘Bet History’ and the outcome is marked as "Pending" until the play or game has been completed.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you want to place another Live Bet. Once the play has completed, another set of propositions is generated.
5. When the game ends, or when you've finished betting with Bovada Live, close the console windon or browser. Any pending bets that remain in your Bet History are still considered active and will be settled accordingly.
How can I review my bets in Live Betting?
All confirmed bets will appear in ‘Recent Bets'. From here, you can check to see whether bets have been settled.
Where can I check a summary of my session of Live Betting?
Line them up and wait for the outcome of the next play. Bet History shows the number of pending and settled bets you've placed during this session of Bovada Live. Click the arrow to expand the panel when you want to view the details of your bets:
- Line: The betting line you've selected.
- Bet: The specific outcome you've selected.
- Stake: The amount you've bet.
- Odds: The probability of your bet, which determines your payout.
- Outcome: The current status of your bet, which will be one of the following:
a) Pending if the play has not yet completed.
b) The actual outcome of the play (e.g., "Pass Incomplete") if the play has completed.
c) Rejected if you bet more than the maximum you can bet on one proposition or if you placed the bet after the play started.
d) Insufficient if you don't have enough money in your Bovada account to cover the bet. - Payout: When you've won the bet, your total payout (which is your winnings plus the amount you've bet) is shown in green.
Note: You can select the ‘Show Only Pending’ check box if you want only those bets that haven't yet been settled to display in your Bet History. Additionally, you can click ‘View All’ if you want to view the details of all of your bets on a separate screen.
How does Quick Bet Mode work?
To use the Quick Bet Mode when placing wagers in the Live Betting console, you’ll need to select it each time on the top right hand corner of the Live Betting window. By selecting the Quick Bet Mode you’ll be able to pre-set your wager (risk) amount and then place bets with a single click of the mouse. If the odds displayed are out of date, your bet will not be placed in single click mode - as odds are constantly changing to reflect the fast moving game. This allows you to review the new odds and decide if you are going to place a bet.
