Live betting can feel like you’re buying prepaid data on your phone. You tell yourself you’re only going to spend a little bit on the match, then you watch your balance drop faster than you thought. Next thing you know you’re back to topping up. This is what live sports on YesPlay is like. Prices change depending on what happens on the field.
If you’re like most people, you’ll end up clicking at the same time as them, and you will rarely see good odds. Going against the crowd is not about being the smartest guy in the room, it’s about being patient and keeping it smart when things get hectic.
Live page basics
YesPlay’s live section is built for players who like speed. You can sort matches by selecting short time windows such as 1h, 3h, or 12h, and then quickly find your sport of choice such as soccer, basketball, cricket, or even table tennis.
Want to know what matches are on right now? Then check this! Open any match and you’ll see all the standard betting markets like 1X2, totals, and handicaps. Want to see the rest? Just click on “More markets.”
Crowd traps
People love hype. One goal, and all of a sudden a team is winning the Champions League. A wicket falls, and all of a sudden people think that the batting side has no chance. That’s when being patient really pays off. So sit back, relax, and ask a question: did the match really change that much, or was it just some hype?
If you want to be different from most other players, then try to follow this one simple rule. Allow yourself only one live bet at a time. If you can’t follow this rule, then just skip it and don’t bet. Stacking bets simply because you’re angry is another big mistake, especially if you are betting live. The trick is to decide how much you are willing to spend on the live portion before you start watching the game, and then closing the tab once you’ve spent it all.
