Watch and Bet

Sports betting

Watch and bet streams an event inside the sportsbook for funded accounts — and why the picture lags the odds by several seconds.

Watch and bet is the live-streaming feature that lets an account holder view an event inside the sportsbook while betting on it. Access is normally conditional: a funded account, a recent bet on the fixture, or both, because the streaming rights are licensed for betting customers rather than as a general broadcast. Availability is also geographically restricted, so a match streamed in one country may be blocked in another. The stream itself runs several seconds behind the live action and is not the source the trading system uses to price the market, so what a viewer sees has often already been reflected in the odds. Bet delay and market suspension still apply, meaning an in-play bet placed on the strength of the stream can still be rejected.
