Live betting — also known as in-play or real-time betting — lets you place bets while the sporting event is already underway. Unlike pre-game betting, where you lock in your pick hours before kickoff, live betting lets you react to what's happening on the pitch, in the octagon, or on the court at that exact moment.
At 98bet, this format has grown to become the most popular on the platform among Brazilian bettors. The reason is not hard to see: Brazilian football produces unpredictable matches all the time, and anyone following the games knows that the opening market assessments do not always reflect what is actually happening on the pitch. A team that starts dominating but concedes on the counter-attack completely shifts the balance — and live odds capture that moment in real time.
The 98bet odds engine processes live match data — score, possession, shots, corners, cards, match minute — and updates probabilities automatically. Every significant on-field event triggers an odds adjustment. A goal produces the biggest immediate shift, but a red card, a key save, or an injury all move the market too.
Update speed is one of 98bet's strengths: odds are recalculated in fractions of a second. This matters because a bettor watching the game has an information edge over the algorithm in those fractions of a second after a key play has just happened but the odds haven't fully adjusted yet. Those who use this smartly find real value in live betting.
Cash Out is probably the most game-changing feature in live betting, and 98bet offers both full and partial Cash Out. Simply put, Cash Out lets you settle your bet before the event ends, receiving an amount calculated based on the current in-game odds.
Say you bet on Flamengo to win before the match. Flamengo is up 1–0 at the 75th minute, but the opposition has just been awarded a penalty. The Cash Out odds will reflect that situation — you'll likely receive less than the full payout, but you lock in a positive return instead of risking it all on the penalty. On the other hand, if Flamengo has been completely dominant and hasn't given away a single chance, the Cash Out value could be close to the full prize.
Partial Cash Out takes it a step further: you settle a portion of your bet — say, half — while keeping the other half active until the end of the game. It's a way to manage risk without giving up your shot at a bigger payout.
In football, live betting opens up a range of markets that simply don't exist pre-game. At 98bet, the most popular markets among Brazilian bettors are:
Football dominates live betting volume on 98bet, but it's far from the only sport that matters. UFC and MMA have a completely different live dynamic — each round can shift the fight dramatically, and bettors who can read positional exchanges in grappling or spot a fighter's fatigue have a real edge on live odds. 98bet offers round-by-round betting during UFC cards, including the winner of each individual round.
In NBB basketball, live betting is especially interesting because the game shifts fast between quarters. A team that lost the second quarter but has the best roster in the NBB can turn it around in the third — and live odds will reflect that comeback potential in a way pre-game lines never could. 98bet covers the NBB with quarter-by-quarter scoring markets, live handicap, and total points.
Superliga volleyball also has a dedicated space in 98bet's live betting offering. The set-based format makes the sport particularly compelling for live wagers — a team can drop two sets and still win the match, and live odds reflect that possibility at prices worth considering.
The vast majority of Brazilians who live bet on 98bet do it from their phones. The platform is fully responsive — no app download needed. Just open the site in your mobile browser and you get the full live betting experience: real-time odds, one-tap Cash Out, an integrated bet slip, and Pix deposits and withdrawals without ever leaving the platform.
This is especially relevant for events that run late at night, like UFC cards in the United States. With your phone in hand and the fight streaming on another device, you can follow the action and place bets without needing a computer.
To take advantage of the best live odds, you need funds available at the right moment. At 98bet, Pix deposits are instant — your balance appears in seconds, with no processing window. This matters because a genuinely valuable live odd can appear and disappear within minutes. You cannot afford to wait for a TED transfer to clear or a boleto to be processed.
Beyond Pix, 98bet accepts credit and debit cards, boleto bancário, PicPay, Mercado Pago, and TED bank transfers from Brazil's main banks — Nubank, Itaú, Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, and Caixa Econômica Federal. The minimum Pix withdrawal is R$ 30,00 and processing takes under 10 minutes for most requests. The platform operates 24 hours a day with no downtime.
The fast pace of live betting is exactly what makes it exciting — and also what can lead to impulsive decisions. 98bet provides responsible gambling tools that let you set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits, as well as voluntary time-outs. Use these tools before you start, not after you realize you have spent more than you planned.
A healthy habit is deciding before each session how much you are willing to wager in total on live betting. There is no pressure to "recover" what you lost on the last bet. Every live bet stands on its own, and chasing losses by betting more is the quickest path to a bad session. 98bet wants you to keep enjoying the platform for the long haul — which is why it invests in responsible gambling tools and 24-hour support.
