Odds are one important thing to look at when placing a bet, but another thing you need to pay attention to is the labels under soccer, basketball, and cricket markets. Each of the markets will pay differently depending on the sport, so always double check.
Many local punters forget about this rule: Before placing a bet, make sure to read the market name before betting. YesPlay makes all these labels very easy to notice.
Read labels first
If you’re a sports fan and want to get in on all the action and maybe even make some money while you’re at it, YesPlay Sports is a great place to start! Here you can bet on all kinds of sports like soccer, basketball, cricket, rugby, tennis, baseball, volleyball, table tennis, American football, boxing, MMA, darts, snooker, and many more. To see all the sports you can bet on, go to https://yesplay.bet/sports and look at the wording next to each game. Keep in mind that a lot of sports have different rules, so always be on the lookout when placing a bet, because, you never know, those three words can change it all.
Sport-specific rules
When you Bet on Cricket on YesPlay you might see a “incl. super over” on the winner’s market, which means the market can still be alive after a tied match if a super over decides it.
When betting on baseball, be on the lookout for winner, total, and handicap markets that say “incl. extra innings” on YesPlay’s baseball page. If there’s a tie game, this little label changes everything. Without it, you’re looking at a different ball game entirely.
Odds after rules
Decimal odds may look easy to read but they can fool you very easily. If you bet R29 on the 1.86 odds, you can expect to get R54 back, but always remember to double-check whether or not the bet includes things like extra innings, overtime, or super over.
Never assume the game you watched is the same game you placed a bet on. Always make sure to double-check the rules, price and whether or not the bet is still the same one you originally made.
