It might not seem like a lot at the time, but if you bet R20 six times in a row that cheap night out will quickly add up to hundreds of bucks! That’s just how live bets are. The clock is running, prices are moving, and before you know it that small bet becomes a big expense.
The key to betting when matches are live is to decide beforehand how much and on what you wish to bet. YesPlay’s Live section allows you to quickly make bets with just a few clicks, but you can lose everything in just a few clicks, so you better have a plan ready.
Step One
Just stick to one code. YesPlay splits the Live menu by sport, which means you don’t have to constantly switch tabs. Even though soccer is usually the most popular sport, you can also find basketball, cricket, rugby, volleyball, ice hockey, table tennis and futsal. The soccer section is also grouped by competition, allowing you to focus on the leagues you are interested in.
Step Two
Rather than getting nervous about missing good bets, take advantage of the page tools, where you’ll find quick time toggles, such as 1h, 3h, 12h, and more. You can also see all the live events that are currently in play by clicking on the “All live events” button. You’ll get the full view and can check each event card that contains the match state and main prices. For the deeper stuff, just open “More markets”. If you want to see how it’s all arranged and laid out, you can read more and watch how the list updates while games are in progress.
Step Three
Don’t put too much money on the line. Start with markets you can quickly analyze such as 1X2, totals and handicaps since they’re always front and centre, which means you don’t have to go digging while the referee is pointing at the spot. Give yourself a limit, then split it up into a couple of planned bets and promise yourself you’re not going to make any “just one more” bets. For example, if you decide that the limit is R58, then you can split that up into two bets of R29. Once you’ve reached that limit, you have to stop no matter how crazy things are getting.
