Wagering in football involves forecasting the outcome of the game because no matter how good the team is, the odds may change.

Live Betting

The development of mobile technology made it possible for virtual bettors to wager with a human croupier, a chance to meet other players, and to feel the ambiance of the physical casino live.

In sports betting, sportsbooks prefer live betting because the outcome is based on the outright result since everything happens during the sports event.

What makes it intense is that aside from players getting the result instantaneously, players can also bet on any type of bet, especially major football games.

Features of Live Betting

Live betting has special tools which are essential to the punters for them to follow the progress of the game and to place their bets conveniently. Here are the following live betting features:

Live Streaming

As explained earlier, this feature allows the player to watch the actual events virtually. It gives the punters an opportunity to choose which type of wager they will use on the said game and which player/team they prefer to bet on based on their performance in real time.

Virtual Live Feeds

A virtual live feed is an option for punters who don’t prefer live betting or don’t have access to it. This platform, also offered in an online casino, shows pictures, diagrams, and words for the punter to monitor the progress of the event.

Advantages in Football Live Betting

Betting in live streaming has a lot of benefits and the most evident is the opportunity for the player to place a bet regardless of their location. Competitive odds are also available in live betting, a chance to place winning bets and more cash-out options. Live betting guarantees a fun experience and as mentioned more betting options. Bookmakers also offer generous deals if you choose live betting.

In a football match, watching it live is so much fun punters can see a lot of action happening in real time like watching the physical game itself. Lots of betting options are offered and various odds.

Basic suggestions for Live Football Betting 1.     Know who will play in the coming event

The majority of the punters are football fanatics which is one of the main reasons for watching it live. They wanted to see their favourite player and team in action. This team in particular is known by most of their fans to have a chance to win so they bet on them. It is good to place a bet on the team in which you know you’ll gain profit.

2.     Advance studying of the games

Anticipating the upcoming big event is typical for avid football punters hence they coordinate with their online bookie about it. Aside from the favoured team that you placed your bet on, be sure to also check other teams and find out their strength and weakness so you can check on the odds before placing a bet.

3.     Avoid jumping to the conclusion

Football, like any other sports game, has its highs and lows. A particular team may have a good start but it might change its course later and may start to decline. Other teams may start low but will soon gain and might eventually win. It is best to observe other teams as well and not focus on your favourite but it doesn’t mean that you’re going to switch to the other team. It’s just a matter of observing others as well for you not to be on the losing end.

Final Insights:

This year is a promising one for the online casino industry especially now that it is easy to place a bet live in football. Since it happens on a pre-game basis which means that you can wager ahead of time before the said event arrives and reserve the rest during the game itself. You can coordinate with your sportsbook and they will present to you the odds. The majority of the sportsbook which offers live betting is accessible to a variety of platforms like laptops, desktops, and the most convenient of all – the smartphone.

The January transfer window is now in full swing although Newcastle United are yet to strengthen their ranks to aid in the push for Champions League qualification, with manager Eddie Howe likely keen to bolster his midfield options, in particular.

Journalist Craig Hope claimed at the end of last month that a new recruit in that department had become something of a “priority” for the Magpies, particularly after having lost Jonjo Shelvey to injury of late.

Amid that talk, Hope – alongside Simon Jones for the Daily Mail – has now revealed that one potential solution to that problem could be Wolverhampton Wanderers captain, Ruben Neves, with the Tynesiders said to be ‘monitoring’ the Portugal international at present.

The report suggests that there is yet to have been contact regarding a move for the 25-year-old, although the playmaker is certainly a player on the club’s potential list of targets, as he currently faces an uncertain future at Molineux with just 18 months remaining on his deal.

The former FC Porto star had been heavily linked with an exit over the summer and even admitted that he thought he would depart the Midlands side, only to have since remained a crucial asset for the relegation-threatened this season after starting 18 Premier League games thus far.

Should the northeast side turn to Neves – who was valued at around £50m a few months ago – it could well prove a particularly astute piece of business for Howe and co, with the “incredible” talent, as lauded by teammate Hugo Bueno, already thriving in the top-flight.

The £50k-per-week maestro has already scored four goals from his defensive midfield berth so far this season as a sign of his attacking prowess, while he also offers an effective screen in front of the back four as he ranks sixth in the division for tackles made, as well as in the top 15% in Europe among those in his position for interceptions made.

It is the 37-cap machine’s penchant for the spectacular that has particularly caught the eye during his stint in English football, however, with half of his league goals this season having come from outside the box as a marker of his long-range finishing prowess.

That trait has also earned notable comparisons to Manchester United icon Paul Scholes from pundit Paul Parker, with the former England international also simply a master at lashing the ball into the back of the net from distance, memorably scoring for the Red Devils away at Villa Park back in 2006, while also scoring in a vital 1-0 win over Barcelona in 2008 – among many other moments of genius.

A player whom Spanish legend Xavi Hernandez lauded as the “best central midfielder” of the last 15 or 20 years, Scholes enjoyed a truly stellar career at Old Trafford, racking up 153 goals and 75 assists in 714 games and winning 11 league titles.

To be likened to such an immense figure in Premier League history is a testament to Neves’ quality, with that set to be just another reason for why Newcastle should look to secure the latter man’s services either this month or at the end of the season.

To say West Ham United have been subpar this season would understate the avalanche of a decrease in form and performance, with the club looking to stave off relegation concerns after two European-qualifying campaigns. 

Sitting in 16th place in the Premier League with just four wins from 16 matches, the Hammers are in dire need of a second-half-of-the-season revival.

Consequently, the club are expected to be active in the January transfer window, and with just 13 league goals scored this term, there is certainly an onus on bolstering the offensive side of the flagging team.

Earlier in December, The Guardian issued a report stating that West Ham were interested in Memphis Depay, whose club FC Barcelona are allegedly mulling over severing ties with for free to ease the financial peril that casts a never-fading ominous shadow over the Camp Nou.

More recently, TuttoMercatoWeb stated that West Ham would be rivalled by Newcastle United for the Netherlands ace, all the more reason to act with conviction and lure him to London.

This would not be granted until the summer, but the Hammers could still attempt to forge a move this winter for a cut-price fee, earning the signature of a dynamic forward who could play a pivotal role in the ascension to prominence in the Premier League once more.

Huge Antonio upgrade

Depay is a prolific forward who can flourish across a wealth of roles within the fold; naturally a wide player, he finds success with surging, central runs and establishing pockets of space in and around the penalty area, ready to pounce and find the back of the net.

Signing for Barcelona from Olympique Lyonnais upon the conclusion of his contract with the French outfit last summer, Depay has not quite clinched the best of his form with the club, scoring 14 goals and serving two assists from 41 appearances in Catalonia.

However, when playing a talismanic role in France, the versatile £172k-per-week phenom truly soared; scoring 76 goals from 178 appearances, also snatching 55 assists, Depay steadily earned his name as a world-class forward on the global stage.

And with 43 goals from 86 appearances for the Netherlands, where he does often flourish as the focal point in offence, the 28-year-old’s success with a team like the Irons would surely replicate his endeavours with other outfits.

Potentially replacing a player such as Michael Antonio, Depay would bring vibrancy and tenacity to east London, steering the club back to the upper end of the table once again.

Antonio, who has been a stalwart for the Hammers, is nearly at the end of his cycle with the club. Having scored 66 goals from 249 appearances, he has managed just two from 15 displays in the top flight this term, and at 32 years old it might be time to replace the striker with someone of Depay’s calibre.

Moyes would likely oversee an increase in goals and an increase in offensive fluidity with a coup for the “genius” – as hailed by Jonathon Liew – that is Depay, who could be the catalyst for change in east London.

Sky Sports’ northeast reporter Keith Downie claims that Newcastle United signing Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk would be a ‘real statement’ by the Magpies.

The Lowdown: Newcastle interest

It was reported last month that the 21-year-old is ‘open’ to a move to St James’ Park in the January transfer window after scouts were sent to watch him in action in the Champions League.

He is ‘keen’ on a move to the Premier League in January, and Eddie Howe is believed to have given the green light for the Tynesiders to pursue a deal.

The Latest: ‘Real statement’

Speaking to GiveMeSport, Downie has claimed that Mudryk’s potential move to Newcastle ‘really stands out’, and that it would be a ‘real statement’ if Howe’s team are able to sign him.

The Sky Sports reporter said: “That one really stands out. If they were to bring someone like him in, that would be a real statement.”

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-7/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Get it done

Hailed as ‘absolutely unreal’ and ‘undefendable’ in explosive bursts by football presenter and pundit Jack Collins, Mudryk is having somewhat of a breakthrough season with eight goals and eight assists in 16 appearances in all competitions, including five goal contributions in the Champions League (Transfermarkt).

He has been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal as well as the Magpies, and due to them being in the top two in the Premier League and the general size and stature of those clubs, Mudryk could well choose them over Newcastle.

Therefore, the Tynesiders signing the Ukraine international would be a ‘real statement’, as Downie claims, and would be another sign of ambition from PIF at St James’ Park.

Everton were heavily linked with a move for Armando Broja in the summer but nothing materialised before Deadline Day, however, it looks like Frank Lampard hasn’t given up on his opportunity to sign the player as a new update emerges.

What’s the latest?

According to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs, Everton are “monitoring” the Chelsea striker’s situation at Stamford Bridge, with the view to loaning the player.

Jacobs tweeted: “Broja getting minutes under Potter. Everton and Newcastle still monitoring in case a loan (with no option) does become available. But it’s not something Potter or Chelsea are planning for right now even if other attackers come in.”

Lampard already loves him

There is no doubt that Lampard would be thrilled with a possible opportunity to sign Broja in the new year, as the former Chelsea boss not only worked with the player before and gave him his Premier League debut but is also a huge admirer too.

The 45-year-old Everton boss sang the praises of the Chelsea youngster when the Toffees met with Southampton last season, where Broja was on loan at the time:

“He’s a very nice, very good lad and a very talented young boy.

“He’s fast, strong, has a real eye for goal and he’s a very, very good young player so I’m very aware of his strengths.”

This season the Albanian striker has only made four Premier League appearances, averaging at just 21 minutes per game, and due to the inconsistency of his game time hasn’t been able to build up a run of form or score a goal as of yet.

Broja’s performances this season are not a clear reflection of what he is capable of when he gets regular first-team football and consistent game time in a team, something he proved whilst out on loan last season.

Hailed as “devastating” by national team assistant, Sergio Porrini, the £50m-valued machine has scored nine goals and delivered one assist over 38 appearances for Southampton and has scored 42 career goals whilst registering nine assists too over 140 appearances, with a goal contribution every 155 minutes played so far.

With that being said, if Everton are continuing to pursue Broja after being knocked back in the summer it is clear that Lampard sees something in the striker that could be game-changing for his current team.

Therefore, if it becomes a possibility in the new year the powers at Goodison Park must not pass up on the opportunity, even if it is just a temporary six-month stint.

Everton could land a “massive coup” if they are able to secure a January transfer deal for potential World Cup star Cody Gakpo, according to pundit Noel Whelan. 

The Lowdown: Previous interest in Gakpo

Back in the previous summer transfer window, the Toffees were named as one of the clubs interested in signing the winger.

Other Premier League clubs such as Leeds United, Southampton and Manchester United were also linked with the PSV starlet, who has scored 82 goals in total for the club across 220 appearances in their senior and youth sides.

Now that the next January transfer window is approaching, it appears that the possibility of Everton making a move to sign the Dutchman has been the topic of discussion once again.

The Latest: Get it done

Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan told Everton to get it done, labelling a deal as ‘massive’.

He said: “If they can get him, it’d be a massive coup. There’ll be a lot of clubs looking at him. I’m pretty sure in January – he’ll be a player who can make a difference to any side, he’s a fantastic talent.

“If there’s a bidding war, Everton could find it difficult – with their league position and their style of play. But if they can get this deal over the line, it would be an absolutely tremendous coup.

“If they start coming up against Man United and other top sides, it could become a lot more difficult.”

The Verdict: A stunning move for Everton?

Regardless of Whelan’s doubts over Everton’s ability to sign Gakpo in January, the 23-year-old, who will be hoping to have a breakout tournament with the Netherlands in the upcoming World Cup, has shown this season why the Merseyside club should do all they can to secure his signature.

With 17 appearances under his belt this season across the Eredivisie and the Europa League, the winger has scored 12 goals and delivered 13 assists, boasting well above one direct goal contribution per game.

Hailed as an “electric” player by journalist Josh Bunting, Gakpo has also had more shots at goal (47) and shots on target (24) than any other player in his division, further highlighting the attacking talent he has.

Taking all of this into account, we agree with Whelan that if Everton were to sign the PSV figure in January, he would be a great signing for the club and an exciting addition to Frank Lampard’s squad.

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up a move for Benfica defender Antonio Silva.

The Lowdown: More dropped points…

Jurgen Klopp’s team dropped more points in the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

The Reds have only won four of their opening 11 league games and are in danger of missing out on a top-four place and Champions League football for next season.

The Latest: Liverpool ‘following’ Silva

As per Portuguese news outlet O Jogo (via Sport Witness), Liverpool are among a number of clubs who are ‘following’ Silva, alongside the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Benfica president Rui Costa does not want to negotiate an exit for the 18-year-old, who has a contract until 2027 and is protected by a mega €100m (£87.2m) release clause.

Nonetheless, the Merseysiders managed to persuade the Lisbon giants to sell Darwin Nunez to them, so another deal could be on the cards if the price is right.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/https-www-footballtransfertavern-com-liverpool-fc-news-liverpool-premier-league-mohamed-salah-news-updates-klopp/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Get it done

The Reds have had plenty of injury problems all season, including at centre-back, where both Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate are currently injured.

Hailed as ‘crazy’ for his impressive performances in the Champions League this term by Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig, it is scary to think that Silva is just 18 years of age, considering that he is already performing admirably on the big stage.

The 6 foot 1 colossus has been a mainstay in a Benfica side who are unbeaten so far this season, so signing a player of his quality at his age is surely a no-brainer for Liverpool, especially if he becomes available in the January transfer window.

Celtic are currently blessed with a number of exciting young talents in the academy set-up at present, with promising midfielder Rocco Vata one such prospect who is currently catching the eye at Parkhead.

The highly-rated 17-year-old – who is the son of former Hoops defender Rudi Vata – has notably impressed for the club’s ‘B’ team of late, scoring four goals and laying on one assist in just 11 games so far this season.

That comes after the teenager had been one of a handful of emerging youngsters included in Ange Postecoglou’s travelling party for the trip to Austria during pre-season, having also been included in first-team training with the Old Firm giants last term.

While a competitive senior appearance has thus far eluded him, the playmaker is seemingly a player destined for big things in the coming years, having been lauded by coach Darren O’Dea back in February, who stated:

“I’ve known Rocco for a while, naturally I’ve been with the 18s for the last two seasons so he’s someone I know really well. He was in the school programme and is someone I’ve brought up with the 18s and played in a couple of games. The most impressive thing about him is probably his mentality, his attitude to the game.

“We had a pre-season friendly this year that didn’t go particularly well but he’s someone that has a killer attitude that never stops, he has a fantastic ability to beat people and create chances.

“On top of that he’s someone who has a really strong mind so he’s someone who’s very young and needs to be managed well. But he’s going in the right direction, it’s a case of supporting him.

“I’m confident to say that if he reaches his full potential which is our goal as a staff to do that, that potential could take him to the top, to be fair.”

On the international stage, the creative gem is also part of a young group of Republic of Ireland stars who “can do something special” in the words of football talent scout Jacek Kulig, having qualified for the country through his Dublin-born grandmother, after being born in Scotland.

Such is his outstanding quality, the dynamic sensation – who was also included in Kulig’s top 40 talents in world football born in 2005 – has also earned comparisons to former World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez, as a result of his ‘dribbling and flair’, in the words of talent scout Jake McGhee.

From a Celtic perspective, however, the hope will be that young Vata could prove to be the potential heir of another playmaker in the form of Tom Rogic, with the Australian magician having only recently left Glasgow after nine years of brilliant service to the club.

The 29-year-old – who has since joined West Bromwich Albion – overcame an injury-plagued start to life in Scotland to become a vital asset under a succession of managers, scoring 46 goals and providing 49 assists in 272 games in all competitions.

That haul included an impressive 2021/22 campaign in which the 53-cap gem proved integral to the title success under Postecoglou, providing six goals and laying on ten assists in all competitions to bow out on a high.

While Matt O’Riley has seemingly helped to fill that void with five assists in just eight league games already this season, there could well be room for another exciting asset such as Vata to add an even greater creative touch.

There have been some bizarre Rangers transfer tales over the years, although arguably one of the most memorable from Ibrox was that of the infamous ‘Newcastle five’, with the Glasgow outfit having loaned in five players from Newcastle United on deadline day back in February 2015.

Then in the second tier of Scottish football, the Old Firm giants had turned to the Magpies in order to help boost their hopes of promotion, utilising the club’s connections with Mike Ashley to help secure that raft of new additions.

That swoop ultimately backfired as few of those new arrivals were able to make an impact – largely due to lack of fitness or injury – with promising full-back Kevin Mbabu, as well as midfielder Gael Bigirimana, failing to even make an appearance over the next few months.

The former Servette man – who had been signed by the Tynesiders after a successful trial back in 2013 – was unable to force his way into the first-team reckoning despite the Gers’ struggles in their attempts to return to the top flight, admitting his bemusement at not being handed a chance:

“A new manager came up in with his own ideas and I didn’t even play a game or even make the bench. I don’t know why.”

As the 6-foot ace alluded to, the departure of manager Kenny McDowall in March 2015 – and the subsequent arrival of Stuart McCall – did little to help his cause with regards to game time, as he made his return to St James’ Park at the end of the season having only been restricted to outings in the reserves.

Mbabu has since gone on to prove his worth in the years since, with the Scottish giants potentially left to rue their inability to get the promising right-back on the pitch at senior level.

While the 22-cap gem was unable to secure a regular role after returning to his parent club – making just five appearances in all competitions for the Premier League outfit – he has since impressed during spells in his native Switzerland and in Germany.

A move to BSC Young Boys – initially on loan – in 2016 proved particularly fruitful for the talented ace as he went on to provide 21 goal contributions in 101 games for the club in all competitions, winning two league titles in that time and being named Swiss Footballer of the Year in 2018.

That form – which saw him lauded as a “very good player” by coaching legend Jose Mourinho – sparked an £8m move to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in 2019, while he only recently completed a £6.4m switch to Fulham in the recent window.

Such fees are a marker of the 27-year-old’s rise since being on the periphery at Ibrox seven years ago, with the dynamic ace having also become a key figure on the international stage, featuring in all five of his nation’s games at Euro 2020.

A solid performer who offers real attacking intent – as he notably ranks in the top 1% for dribbles completed among those in his position across Europe’s top five leagues – Mbabu has surely left the Gers ruing their previous mistake with regards to his lack of action at the club.

Tony Mowbray could reportedly be given the funds to make two new signings for Sunderland in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Seven summer signings

The Wearsiders made seven new permanent signings in the summer, but also saw a managerial change as Mowbray came in for Alex Neil, who left to join Stoke City late last month.

The new boss now has to work with the squad that he has inherited, and it is safe to say that he is doing a good job so far, winning two and drawing one of his opening four games in the Championship.

The Latest: January funds

As per The Sun, Mowbray could now be given extra funds in the January transfer window to make a couple of new signings.

That is if he manages to keep his team in the fight for promotion to the Premier League, with Sunderland currently fifth in the Championship table on 15 points from their opening 10 matches.

The Verdict: Big boost

It will no doubt be a big boost for the Black Cats if they are to hold more financial power in January.

Mowbray claimed that he missed out on a defensive midfielder and a defender on transfer deadline day, so it could be those positions that he looks to strengthen in the winter.

Nonetheless, Sunderland have a real shot of back-to-back promotions, and a couple of new additions mid-season could help them to achieve that.
