What is In-Play Betting?

In-Play betting, also known as in-running, involves placing wagers after an event has begun and continuing until its conclusion. This results in constantly fluctuating betting odds. It's particularly popular for sports with extended durations, such as football, tennis, cricket, and multi-day events like golf tournaments. Horse racing enthusiasts also utilize In-Play betting, especially those skilled at recognizing a horse's running style or quickly analyzing the race's progression.

The primary advantage for bettors is the ability to observe the event's progress and assess potential outcomes before placing bets. While pre-event statistics and trends can inform betting decisions, the actual event may unfold unexpectedly. In-Play betting allows for subsequent wagers based on real-time observations. For experienced bettors, Sharp Exchange's In-Play feature enables trading positions for profit.

Clicking the "In-Play" tab redirects to a page listing current and upcoming In-Play events. An event page will display a green tick box next to "In-Play" to indicate available In-Play markets. A grey tick box next to "Going In-Play" signifies that In-Play betting will become available once the event starts.

Placing bets on In-Play markets follows the same procedure as traditional betting. However, it's crucial to remember that In-Play odds are dynamic, changing in response to ongoing event developments, such as an offensive play in football or a birdie in golf."
