Updated today

It can be surprising to see odds change after you’ve placed a bet but it’s completely normal. Betting odds move constantly based on new information and market activity. Understanding why odds change helps you feel confident that your bet is placed fairly and transparently on Chips.gg.



Why Do Betting Odds Change?

Betting odds change to reflect new information and market conditions. Sportsbooks adjust odds to keep markets balanced and up to date.

Common reasons include:

  • Player injuries or lineup changes

  • Weather conditions

  • Large betting volume on one outcome

  • Live match developments


Do Odds Changes Affect My Placed Bet?

No. Once your bet is placed, your odds are locked in.


Even if odds change afterward, your bet will be settled using the odds shown at the time of placement.


Why Are the Odds Different When I Check Again?

If you revisit a match after placing a bet, you may notice:

  • Odds increasing or decreasing

  • Markets temporarily suspended

  • Odds changing during live betting

This does not impact your existing bet, it only affects new bets.


Can Odds Change Before I Confirm a Bet?

Yes. Odds can change between selecting a market and confirming your bet, especially during live events.


If odds change before confirmation, Chips.gg will always show you the updated odds before placing the bet.


Why Are Odds Locked or Suspended?

Odds may be temporarily suspended when:

  • A goal is scored

  • A major event occurs (red card, injury)

  • Market data is being updated

This ensures all bets are placed fairly and accurately.


Odds changes are a normal part of sports betting and help keep markets fair. Once your bet is placed, your odds stay locked so you can relax and enjoy the action knowing everything is handled transparently on Chips.gg.
