It was a warm night in Durban, the kind of night where humidity just clings to you no matter what. I’m sitting on the couch, lazily thumbing through my phone, when one of the friends text: “Sundowns are odds-on against Pirates this weekend.” And football’s been on my mind recently. Unlike most people who have their friend groups where they enjoy the game, I’m not much of a team player and I love studying the game by my lonesome. YesPlay quickly pops up in my head, and I immediately thought that it would be fun to have a game and maybe make some extra spending money.
Football Tales and Clever Plays
Football is an integral part of South African life and it’s something you can never take away from the locals. From Soweto’s local playground matches to Cape Town’s big leagues, we all feel it. YesPlay has all the options you need, so no matter what you are looking for, they have it. You can easily spend many nights trying to guess who is going to win or lose, trying to find any information that the underdog team has any shot, or comparing Real Madrid to Kaizer Chiefs. Let’s take last week for instance, when Juventus faced up against Atlanta in Series A. Juventus was favoured at 2.45 and Atalanta at 2.95, but how could you ever resist an Under 2.5 goals at 1.81?
The English Premier League however is a lot faster and less predictable. Just look at Liverpool against Southampton, with bets Over 3.5 Goals at 1.67. It was almost certain Liverpool was going to win at 1.13, the question here was only how many they would score. YesPlay has all your options, including those you did not even think about from the Bundesliga’s Bayern Munich to the Europa League’s Manchester United games. Interested? Well, you can always click here and have a look for yourself.
Recently, I became a big fan of the Simulated Reality League. There are no boring seasons. All the bets are always based on the previous season’s stats and everything always gets updated right away so the betting action keeps going non stop. Check out a couple of useful things that I noticed:
• Odds will hint you the outcome: If they are low, you’re probably going to have to play it safe.
• Don’t put all eggs in one basket. Instead of placing one large bet, place several smaller ones.
• Look at the odds: Compare what others offer.
If you would like to learn more, go ahead and check it out at YesPlay. I know many people like Spain and Japanese leagues but there’s also something a bit more obscure for example Argentina. This ensures that every game feels different from the previous.
One Bet, One Yarn
That Wednesday night was a success, even though a small one. I made a small bet, Sundowns versus Pirates with Over 1.5 Goals bet on YesPlay. It did well, no insane sum, but still got me enough to buy a nice, hot curry with a little bit of change to spare. When the game is playing on your screen, and you think you know how things are going to unfold, give it a shot and see what comes out of it. May well end up with some bragging rights around friends while watching football together the next day.
