You want to bet in Rands without needing a calculator or second-guessing yourself. Then it’s best to keep things simple and bet on the markets that you understand. At YesPlay you can find all the big leagues with their live and prematch options, allowing you to have an endless amount of fun, as long as you make smart bets that don’t leave you broke.
Pick stats
First, let’s start with soccer. The secret here is not to chase every line you see. What you should be doing instead is comparing what you see to how that league normally plays. The Premier League and LaLiga are always available, plus local cups, so the speed of play will change from fixture to fixture. If you see the line looks kind for a slow game, then bet that the total score will be under. If both sides like to shoot a lot, then bet on team totals. Stake an odd amount of money to get the feel for the game.
Market focus
On basketball pages, you might see totals and handicaps marked as “incl. overtime”, which changes how late fouls and extra minutes might affect your payout. This is important, so always look out for it. If you want to bet on a narrow favourite, try giving the underdog a small head start rather than chasing a short home win price. Scan through all of the tournaments before you check this to see how many lines are being offered before you place your bet.
Live filter
Live filters can make your life a whole lot easier if you use them right. Instead of looking at past match results, use these tabs to see what’s going on right now, and base your bets on that. Just keep in mind that you’re not always going to win, so before you even start, decide how much you’re willing to bet daily, and stick to that amount. YesPlay displays all prices in ZAR, and all main markets are there, including match results, handicaps, totals, and extra ones under “more” when available. The simpler you keep things, the easier it is to just look at the numbers.
