Why do people sport bet? You aren’t buying some promise of getting payout or asking for a miracle, but you’re paying for excitement. The chance to sit on the edge of your seat and care about the next play.

For most guys out here, the first thing on their mind isn’t getting rich. It’s all about having a good time and feeling the vibes, whether they are chilled or wild.

What you get

At YesPlay you can easily switch between sports betting and live betting, allowing you to either plan ahead or react while you’re watching the game. Pick your favorite sports from Soccer and Rugby to Tennis, Cricket, Basketball, Table Tennis and many more.

The cool part about it is that you’re not going to find yourself endlessly scrolling through menus trying to find what you need. Most of the popular choices are right there up front, but if you want more options you can just click on the “More Markets” button.

Where to start

If you’re just getting started, pick one game you enjoy watching. That alone is going to prevent you from making some bad bets. If you want to get a better idea of what’s available right now, you can always check this link and scan the live and prematch tabs to get a quick look at everything you can bet on.

From there, place bets on basic stuff. On soccer, you can start with simple stuff like 1X2, totals, and handicaps. In simple English that’s: “who gets it done”, “how many goals”, and “who starts with an advantage”. Start with something small, like R29 and bet on what you believe in.

One rule to read

Always pay close attention to any labels and small lines of text that can affect the outcome. In basketball, some markets like totals and handicaps include overtime. Overtime can change everything, especially if the game is close, so pay attention to those small details and don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Basically, when it comes to betting, only spend what you have. If you’re betting on a soccer match, for example, pick the one you enjoy watching, choose one betting market that you understand and only spend what you have.
