Most of the time sports betting is not about getting it right. It’s about having a reason to watch the game and hoping your team wins. That’s why sports betting is so popular in South Africa. It makes watching sport that much more fun and exciting.
What you can bet on
With YesPlay, all sports are quick to find because everything is laid out nicely for you. Choose from major sports such as soccer, basketball, cricket, tennis and rugby, with every league you might want to bet on sitting there on the front page. You can choose anything from soccer to Serie A or NBA to Euroleague.
It’s well set out too with the popular markets sitting right up front: match winner, totals, handicap, then the rest underneath. There is more information you can find here if you want to check it out before you place anything.
To get started, you need to create an account and place a bet.
Easy steps on how to keep your sports bets simple
If you’re going to put money on something, you better know what you’re doing. The same goes for sports betting. That means, you better stick to the sport that you already follow properly, otherwise, you’ll be acting smart when you have no clue what’s happening.
Secondly, stick to one type of market. A small bet in ZAR is better than spreading that money all over the place just because it looks interesting on your screen.
Step three is to actually read the rules for that specific bet that you are looking at. A lot of people skip this step and then get mad when they lose a bet that they should have won, had they bothered to check what the rules were. On YesPlay, soccer bets are settled after 90 minutes plus added time, but for rugby, the bets are settled after 80 minutes unless a market states otherwise. Make sure you read this to avoid a headache down the road.
That’s all there is to it. A sports bet should make you feel excited, not confused. Cut down on that bet slip. Pick one sport, one market, and one good reason. Your screen should no longer feel as messy now.
