Transition from pre-match to live is seamless in UOF. Because pre-match and live producers use the same markets set with the same IDs, markets are being handed-over to a live producer a few minutes before the match is about to go live and the match status gets updated.
A few minutes before an event starts (in which Betradar offers Live Odds), Betradar has scouts and operators in place monitoring the game. At this time, the live markets are opened. Until the match scheduled start (or actual start), Betradar provides many markets for both live odds and pre-match odds. Betradar, by default, distributes the "live" odds as the odds for the market. You also have the option to use the pre-match odds instead. When the match starts (status="live") a pre-match only system must act on this message and close the markets.
If Betradar does not offer live coverage for a match, Betradar systems will send out a bet stop that closes the markets for this sport event once the scheduled start time of the event is exceeded. In addition, for matches without live coverage, Betradar will not update the status field to live during the match, the status field will change from not_started to closed when the results are entered.
