A 2-0 score might seem like an easy bet, but don’t get ahead of yourself. Before you bet, read the market label fully and make sure you understand the rules. For example, if you place a bet that needs over 3.5 goals, you’d better read that label first to see if that bet actually includes extra time. If you’re someone who goes to Mzansi’s soccer stadiums, you might be tempted to place a bet, especially when everyone around you is in a celebratory mood. So before you bet on your favourite team, always double-check the market name and the result that actually settles the bet.
Market wording comes first
Are you thinking of starting to bet on YesPlay? You’ll be happy to know that we offer a wide selection of sports to bet on including Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Rugby and many more! On the main sports page you will see sections like Live, 1h, 3h, 12h, and Prematch to help you find the current games. You can find the full selection at https://yesplay.bet/sports. For soccer, you will see 1X2, Over-Under and Handicaps. Tennis is the same, but with bets such as match winner, total games and game Handicap. If you bet on cricket, keep in mind that the winner market counts a Super Over. Oh, and basketball market totals and handicaps might also include overtime. Every word matters here, so keep that in mind!
Measure repeated costs
Think of the smallest expenses, like the taxi fare you pay when getting to work. Let’s say that amount is R25. If you place 4 separate bets that are all R25 each, then you’ve suddenly spent R100. Transport cash stays protected and off limits. Always keep in mind that even small bets add up over time. If you decide to spend R60 on fun and entertainment on that day, you better not exceed that limit and spend more.
Notice when prices move
With pre-match bets, you have all the time in the world to double check team news and lineups, and with live betting, things are a little quicker, because the prices change constantly. For example, if a team gets two red cards, chances are they will lose the game, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right time to place your bet. Stop for a second after any big moment to check the score, the market, and how much you have already spent. It’s smart to take a short pause after any major incident to reassess the situation and adjust your strategy if needed.
