Sundays: the day we watch our favourite sports match on one screen while also texting on WhatsApp. And of course there’s that one person in the group that is posting their “multi of the day” and you’re just sitting there wondering how the hell were they able to build that betting slip. YesPlay gives South Africans access to almost every popular sport, including soccer, basketball, cricket, tennis, and rugby. The trick is not to know everything about sports, but to have a super simple way of getting started without spending too much.
How to Start?
Betting on YesPlay is really simple, here’s how to do it.
Step 1: Pick a code.
Open the sports section on YesPlay and stick to a sport you actually know a thing or two about, like PSL soccer or NBA. You can find the top events by toggling between Live and Prematch, so you never have to scroll through a bunch of random stuff you don’t even care about. To check this page and get a better feel for the layout, filters and fixtures.
Step 2: Pick one market.
Start with match result or total goals/points. Usually, you will be able to see 1×2, totals and handicap first. Just ignore everything else.
Step 3: Set a test stake.
Pick an amount that you’re OK with losing and make a single bet. Watch how the odds move, how long it takes for payouts to arrive and so on. Treat it like a tutorial, teaching you everything you need to know about the site.
What to Back?
Soccer fans can bet on who they think is going to win the game and Basketball enthusiasts can bet on who’s going to be the top scorer. Cricket punters will have a field day betting on series and match winners on the international list that YesPlay has in the Cricket tab. The odds are quite easy to figure out since they are displayed in decimal form. For example, if you bet R40 at 2.30, then you’ll be getting R92 back if your bet is correct. Start small and don’t bet all your money right away!
