There are two types of bettors in South Africa. Some like to plan in advance by studying the game, checking stats and writing things down. Others prefer to watch the match and take a swing at it when they see an opportunity. YesPlay is fun for all players, whether you’re a newcomer or an experienced veteran.

Two Paths

If you want to be in control of how much money you’re spending, pre-match betting is the way to go. You can carefully plan your bet, stick to your budget, and maybe shop around for the best odds before the game begins.

Live betting, on the other hand, is faster and lets you trade what you see. Live bets are a good choice if you’re quick on your feet and like to bet on momentum turns, like a tennis mini-run or a late field position in rugby.

On YesPlay

On the Sports page you’ll see live and pre-match tabs. Underneath those options, you’ll find codes for sports such as soccer, basketball, cricket, tennis, volleyball, and ice hockey. Each event you click on will show you the most common options, such as match results, totals, and handicaps.

You’ll find even more options under the More Markets button. If you want to read the fine print, check the Rules and Regulations links located at the bottom of the page. If you need assistance getting to the lobby, more information you can find here. You can search by game or time.

Pick Yours

If you’re someone who is always busy and has no time for anything, pre-match betting may be a great way for you to still bet and earn some money, as this allows you to prepare ahead and look at all of the stats. If you’re someone with plenty of free time and wants to bet as the action unfolds, remember to start with smaller bets. You can start with a R33 bet at 2.75 odds, that’s going to give you a R90.75 payout if you win.
