For many punters in South Africa, sport betting begins with a friend’s slip and yelling at the TV. Soon, you are checking odds on your phone during half-time and wondering if you should be setting bets before kick-off or playing while the match runs? YesPlay has both of these options available on their website. It’s like having two tools in one kit.
Prematch Sport?
Prematch sport betting is much easier on your nerves, and more like placing a bet on your sports team at a pub. You open the YesPlay sports area, pick what you want – soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis, basketball, whatever, and then relax. If you need help, YesPlay has all the rules listed on their sports page, so you can read more before you put your money down.
It’s great because you have time. Check team lists, how they’ve been playing lately, and if anyone got hurt that your friends didn’t tell you about. The odds are locked once you’ve bet, so if you bet on Sundowns at good odds on Friday, you’re good even if things change on Sunday.
You just have to be patient. Once the game starts, that’s it. No changes, no betting more if things look good early on.
Live Sport?
Live sport betting is there for people who like to place bets quickly as the action unfolds. Everything changes as the game goes on, and a red card, a try, or any other unpredictable thing that happens can flip the whole setup. All of this works best if you regularly watch PSL, rugby, or NBA matches. The biggest danger is when you get tilted because the match turns on its head, so remember to set a spending limit before the game kicks off.
If you prefer planning everything in advance, pre-match sport bets will be a much better choice. Use both types of bets and sports betting will be something you enjoy, not something that tilts you into oblivion.
