We all know that one guy who blames everyone else for his own mistakes. The ref gives a red card, rain stops the match, and he’s already shouting at the screen about how unlucky he is. Sport betting on YesPlay is awesome, but the sports rules still matter.
Read the whistle
With so many sports available on YesPlay to bet on, like soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis or basketball, it would be easy to assume that they all follow the same rules. For example, a soccer bet isn’t the same as a rugby bet or a cricket bet. To avoid making silly mistakes and losing your money, make sure that you check what does your bet cover before backing Sundowns, the Bulls, the Proteas, or some random NBA side. Ninety minutes, full match, set, quarter, innings, extra time: those little words can change everything.
Double bet
Related bets are where many folks go wrong. If you bet on a team to win the match, and pick a score line that depends on the same thing, then you’ll quickly find yourself in a sticky situation. This is because the rules can affect it differently if the outcomes depend on each other. YesPlay lists common sport markets such as 1×2, totals, handicaps and “More markets”, but if you want to see the list of all sports before you start betting, you can find more information you can find here. If you are unsure, just ask yourself this question: Does one part depend on the other? If it does, then slow down.
Void hurts
Sometimes life happens and stuff gets voided, it’s not the end of the world though. You get your stake back, but it can be quite annoying if you thought that you were about to cash out big. If the match is postponed and can’t be rescheduled in time then it will be voided. If the match is stopped, then all the bets might be voided unless the ref will announce the official result. Just try to not panic and stay calm. Read the fine print and keep in mind that small factors can have a big impact.
