Sharp Edges in Live Sport
Live sport betting is quick to get into. You may go into a store wanting just chewing gum, but leave with biltong, two chocolates and a drink. Same thing can happen with live betting, where one goal or one wicket could take all your money.
Even though YesPlay has a really easy to understand layout, it’s still possible to make errors when you’re starting out, which is why you shouldn’t bet more than you can afford. Learn from your mistakes, keep a close watch on your balance, and try to be smart with your bets.
Where it goes wrong
Most people make mistakes because they don’t think things through. On YesPlay, you can check dozens of different games in a matter of minutes, which may lead you to spread your focus too thin. Instead of rushing, try to check this before the game starts. Pick one game and really pay attention. Pick one thing to focus on and carefully watch everything that is happening in the game.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make when betting is getting distracted by all the different bet options they see. If you’re trying to make smart choices, you might even try to find other types of bets that you can place. This is a trap. Remember that more options don’t always mean a better chance to get payout. When you’re trying to bet, you need to try and stay as focused as possible and avoid distractions.
Common rookie mistakes
• Don’t just bet just because something is moving on your screen. It’s always a good idea to slow down and wait until you see the final results before you do anything rash.
• Focus! Don’t bet on soccer, tennis and cricket at the same time. Pick one thing and pay attention to it.
• Do yourself a favour and don’t bet on markets that you don’t fully understand. Instead, start with simple and popular markets like 1×2, totals, or handicaps. Once you get the hang of those you can try something more spicy.
• Make sure that you take a few minutes to read the settlement rules before you start, that way you won’t start complaining to us once things go wrong.
• Trying to get back what you lost ASAP? Don’t just throw money at random things. Instead, make up your mind about how much money you are okay losing today. Once you reach that number, just call it quits and walk away.
