When betting on live sports, it’s hard to focus on anything else as the scores keep shifting, odds keep jumping and your phone turns into the scoreboard that matters the most. If you see a lot of unusual sports, like soccer from Albania next to cricket in Australia, you might feel like YesPlay is overwhelming. Don’t worry! YesPlay is a very easy to use website that keeps things as simple as possible.
Step 1: Live
Before we start, first we need to make sure you’re in the right place. Look at the top menu where you will find the “Sports” button. Click on it, then go to the “Live” tab, instead of “Prematch”. The board will switch to current matches with filters that show games happening in the next 1, 3, or 12 hours. To better understand what we’re talking about, you can check this. Try picking the sport you follow the most. If you love PSL and Premier League, then start with soccer. But if you’re into Proteas or IPL, then click on cricket.
Step 2: Markets
Once you start playing, you’ll see the basics: 1×2, totals, and handicaps. If you’re playing soccer, you’ll have to guess if the home team is going to win or not.
You will often see totals and spreads marked as “incl. overtime” in basketball, so keep in mind that extra time counts. You should always have one clear idea in your head. Maybe you believe that the underdog is stronger than what their odds show, or you think that a T20 game is heading toward a big score. Focus on that one idea and stick to it.
Step 3: Stakes
Live odds shift quickly, so you have to be in control of your money more than ever. Before you place your bet, decide on how much money you are fine with losing, be it R40 or R120. If you want to place multiple bets on the same match, divide that money by the number of bets you’re going to make. It always feels better to place two or three smaller bets instead of one big one, especially when that striker can’t put the ball in the net to save his life.
