Many of us know the frustration of picking a winning ticket only to see it ruined by a last-minute comeback or silly mistake.
YesPlay Sport section has something for everyone. With live and prematch options from codes such as Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Rugby, Baseball, Table Tennis and MMA you are bound to spend some time looking around. The main problem is that most people think every code should be bet the same way, but it is not that simple.
Market myths
Don’t be fooled into thinking that more options are always better. On YesPlay, soccer usually comes with 1×2 and handicap bets, while tennis gives you the options to bet on who’ll win, number of games, or game handicap. With basketball, you can also bet on the total number of points and handicaps, and with cricket, it’s all about predicting the winner, including a potential super over. Each of these codes is unique, and it might be tempting to treat them all the same, but try not to.
To see what Sport bets you could make in real time, you can check this. Keep in mind that live betting is never a surefire way to predict the outcome of a game or score. This matters in live betting too, as a red card, bad game or even just a tired player can change prices in the blink of an eye.
Another common belief is that short odds give you a “safe bet”. If you Bet R50 and the odds are 1.25, not only is the return not that big, but there is always a chance of losing your money. Short odds can be useful, but only if they are backed up by what’s actually happening in the match.

Before placing a bet, consider what needs to happen to make the bet successful. If everything has to occur for the bet to go through, it’s better not to place it. But if it depends on one simple thing, like a slower game or one team having an edge, then maybe you should place the bet.
On YesPlay there’s something for everyone, no matter what sport you like to bet on. Soccer fanatics can bet on anything from the final match result to how many goals will be scored in total. Tennis fans can place bets on how many games a player will win in total, while Cricket fanatics should double-check all the rules, and read the settlement notes very carefully as they can change quite a bit depending on the type of match.
