Anyone who is familiar with US sports will know that their matches NEVER begin on time. So, any conclusions you make regarding how long a match lasts based on the starting time is wrong. I am familiar with the MLS, NBA, and NHL (I can't say anything for other leagues/sports), and they always begin with a delay. That can be as little as 10 minutes or even up to 30-40 mins.

Those wagers that Coinbox1 mentioned are for total points count for a team. BetsAPI doesn't have odds for those markets. But based on the timestamps, I can confirm that the wager was made at the beginning of the 4th quarter with about 8-9 minutes until the end of the match. There is nothing wrong with betting at that time. However, we can't compare the offered odds on Trustdice with other bookies because the stats are missing on BetsAPI. Do you have any other source similar to BetsAPI that shows data for additional markets.

Can you show a different example for something you consider a late bet where we can confirm the data? But not a bet on the totals for a team.
