Spending R19 doesn’t sound like a lot. You tell yourself: ‘It’s just a few coins’ and then a few minutes later you realise you’ve lost a hefty amount of money.
Sports betting is fun when you decide ahead of time what that bet is going to do for you. You can bet just to make things interesting, or go all-in and watch every second of the match like your life depends on it.
Find your sport
On YesPlay, sports betting is easy, and you’ll be betting like a pro in no time. Here you’ll see a variety of sports like soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis, basketball, and even darts, snooker, or table tennis. When it comes to soccer, YesPlay will show all the popular leagues such as the Premier League and South Africa’s Premier Soccer League, along with other big leagues. All the odds are shown in decimal form, so you don’t have to think too hard when betting.
What’s cool about this whole thing is that it splits everything into live and prematch. And YesPlay has time filters like 1h, 3h and 12h which can be super helpful if you don’t want to sit around for too long. Open the hub, scroll down until you find your code, read more and give those market labels a quick look before you add some money to your stake box.
If you bet on sports, YesPlay has all your usual markets available such as 1X2, totals, and handicap, but if you feel like betting on some more exotic markets, you can do so as well by clicking on “more markets”. That’s good enough for most bettors, who just want to back a simple result.
Three quick steps
- Step 1: First, pick the code and then the time. If you want to keep it cool and make your decisions while sober, start with pre-match. If you have ice in your veins and can watch the game without getting a panic attack, use Live.
- Step 2: When you’re new at this game, it’s always better to start simple. Just choose one market and put all your money on it. Start with something like 1X2, totals, or handicap. Don’t throw R27 on some crazy bet because you won’t learn much that way.
- Step 3: Before you start, decide how much you’re willing to lose tonight in Rands. Once you reach that limit, close your laptop and walk away. It doesn’t matter how promising that next match looks.
