Pre-Match Betting. In pre-match betting, the bettor must make their bet before the event begins, and after it has started, they are stuck with it. In live betting, the wagering will be ongoing throughout the event.
The traditional way of betting on a game is pregame wagering. Pre-game is simply making your selection prior to the start of the contest. You pick a side and wait for the outcome. Most wagers are made this way.
