Even live, at the event in person, one couldn’t move fast enough to set lines and bet on individual points

let me tell you a story of how fast the betting world works.

I"m sitting in Tiger stadium for LSU-Ole Miss this past season.
We are kicking their arse in the 4th quarter so the stadium is emptying out a bit and i can finally get some reception in the stadium and log into draftkings.
I"m betting on the outcome of the drive.
The score is 31-20 near the beginning of the 4th quarter.
I haven't placed the bet yet but i'm watching the lines move as LSU has the ball. We start at our own 20. my DK app is open the whole time and i'm watching the lines move after each play. We cross midfeild and it's 1st and 10 from the 43. I was ready to place my "to score a td" bet any moment now. I was literally going to wait to see what happened next and submit this + money bet in an instant when something positive happened live.
JD drops back to pass, then tucks it and takes off running. He gains 11 yards to the Ole Miss 32 and i see the late hit on him immediately as he slides.
The instant i saw it happen i have my phone up and the lives bets ready. I immediately hit the "to score a td" bet pretty much as the flag is being thrown in the air. I go to hit submit and that bet has already been taken off the table and i'm unable to place the bet. The play was barely even over and that live bet was updated almost immediately as the flag went up in the air in anticipation of a 15 yard penalty that was going to put us in the redzone.


You can bet every single pitch in a baseball game.
I honestly don't know how they do this for every sporting event on the planet, but they do it.
