Most people lose their sports bets because they’re rushing into things instead of taking their time.
Say you see Sundowns pushing, or the Proteas making single points, or an NBA team not scoring. Do you want to place your bet before that whistle blows, or do you want to wait and see what happens?
With YesPlay you can bet before the game if you like betting without too much stress and thinking, or you can use the live betting option and bet while the game is in action. Both are good options, it just depends on your mood.
Before kick-off
Some people like to study the game a bit before placing a bet on it. They will look at almost everything, for example, at which stadium the game is being played, how the players performed in the last several games, who’s injured, what the weather forecast is looking like. If you’re this kind of guy, pre-match betting is for you. On YesPlay, soccer pages usually show 1×2, total and handicap markets, with even more options to choose from when you click on them.
That makes betting before the game feels more relaxed. You don’t have to worry about the time running out. You can compare a Premier League game with a PSL game, or look at cricket and basketball at the same time. If you want to check out the main sports section first, you can read more and see for yourself how YesPlay has laid it all out.
After the whistle
Live betting is great for a certain type of bettor, the type of oke who wants to watch the game first. Maybe the favourite is falling behind, or maybe the underdog came out not scared to play. Maybe the total points in that basketball game seems too high after both teams keep missing open shots.
YesPlay’s live section shows you different sports that are currently being played at the moment. Keep in mind that basketball markets include overtime, and cricket markets include the super over. All those details can greatly affect the outcome of your bet.
Live prices change super fast, and that bet that looked good at 1.91 might be gone before you can even blink. With prematch, you have time to prepare beforehand. In live, you have to be able to make quick decisions. Neither is “better” than the other. Prematch is for those who want to see the board before the start of the game. Live is for someone who trusts their eyes once the action starts.
