basketball point spread and over/under is the best, imo. its only the sport that has constant scoring and action. the spreads and o/u constantly changes and it has the most variation with possibilities of up to 30 point swings. the basic strategy here is pick opposite of what you would've picked before the game if that team gets extra points. So if Team A is -10 and the livebet becomes -6 and you would've picked team B +10 before the game start, pick Team A -6. Of course, the trick here is WHEN you should place the bet. Personally, i have a 10 point rule. If the point changes by at least 10 points against you, bet what you would've bet. If it falls 10 points in your favor, pick the opposite what you would have picked.
The 10 point strategy comes from an estimation that about 8/10 games fall within 10 points for both spread and o/u. The more points you get, the better your odds. I once had a game with the O/U at 209 and the game had a 117 haltime total. the live bet had 224 o/u at that point. Since it falls under the 10 point rule and my original selection was the under, i picked under 224. The game ended with 204 total points. this only works if you actually have a pick before the game so a little research is still required.
i would avoid over/under for football, hockey and soccer because its much harder to predict WHEN a score will occur. I'd stick to moneylines for those sports.
i know nothing nor have any experience with livebetting baseball.

nba...if a favorite wins the 1st qtr, 2nd qtr, and 3rd qtr individually then take the dog in the 4th qtr
mlb...after the 5th or 6th inning if a team is tied or losing by 1 run but is out hitting their opponent by 2 hits or more take that team for + money only...more often than not when a team out hits its opponent for the game they also win, the 5th and 6th inning are a likely time when leads are exchanged with teams making the transition from starter to bullpen

This MLB strategy has worked for me in the past.
