Live sports betting is truly the crack cocaine of gambling

You can make tons of money really quick or you can literally lose your entire house along with your mind really quick. An example is when you're on tilt after a couple of bad beats and you see an underdog NBA team up big against a huge favorite at the end of the first quarter and vegas has the live odds at something like just -110 despite them being up 15 points. So you unload the entire bankroll on it thinking that thinking that you are going to get an easy win, just to see that entire lead disappear 15 point lead get reduced to a 2 point lead at end of the second quarter and now the odds for the underdog are now +1000. Then you're left staring at the computer screen anxiously waiting for the second half to start hoping that they pull through just to get completely obliterated along with your entire bankroll.

Live betting is not for the faint of heart.
