Betting just got a lot more exciting.

Once upon a time, when the match kicked-off, the betting stopped. Now, with our new and improved betting in-running service, the action is only just beginning.

Betting in-running has become a key part of the VC Bet business as it is hugely popular with customers who like to add extra excitement to a game that has already kicked off. Backing a team at big odds when they have fallen behind can be extremely lucrative and very satisfying if they manage to come back and win. There are also plenty of people out there who like to weigh in on the short ones when a team has a good lead. Whatever you prefer, you’ll be impressed by our new and improved betting in-running service.

Of course, you can bet on the outright market as you’ve been doing with VC Bet for years. But now, we’ve added a whole new range of fun and interesting bets that make the experience of watching a game all the more exciting. Check out our guide to all of the markets that you can look forward to betting on throughout the 2006 World Cup.
