There are two kinds of punters. One of them carefully analyses a game and then picks a bet at a certain price, which he can easily explain to you. The other one, just makes a quick shopping list that includes soccer, NBA and some other stuff that he thinks “can’t lose”. The latter one is how a good session quickly turns into a moody one.
Wrong ideas
- Live betting isn’t limited to soccer alone. On YesPlay, live and prematch include all kinds of sports.
- Multis are good. Singles are fine too, and that one bad decision isn’t going to take down everything else.
- Short odds can still get you, so don’t fall for them.
- You can always sneak a bet in late. YesPlay’s rules mention something about it so keep it in mind.
What you see
YesPlay splits everything between Live and Prematch, so you can see what’s being played right now. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, the site has time filters that will narrow it down for you. The most popular sports like soccer (Premier League and AFCON), NBA, SA20, tennis, and URC rugby will be the first ones to pop up. And if you keep scrolling, you’ll see some less popular games such as volleyball, table tennis, darts, and ice hockey. If you’re confused and have no idea where to start, just check this and see what you like.
Each game on YesPlay will show you a couple of the core markets upfront, such as 1×2, totals, and handicap, and of course a button to view additional options. Decimal odds are used on the website, so the numbers are pretty simple to read, which is nice. If you’re just getting started, stick to the markets mentioned above.
Know your stop
It’s always wise to make a note explaining why you made a certain bet and saving it somewhere. Try to keep stakes realistic too. Putting R23 on a 2.12 odds may be a proper gamble, but you shouldn’t be sweating it if you end up losing.
