A red card flashes on the screen. Just like that, the whole game turns upside down.
That’s what we call live soccer betting where anything can happen. The score is very important, but there are a few more things you should keep your eye on. The clock, cards, and half-time board should also be on your radar. Remember, a goal can change everything, and YesPlay is here to give SA punters a live soccer page with all the info you need.
Read the clock
If you want to place a bet, you have to start with time, not the teams, and definitely not the badge.
If Sundowns score in the 12th minute, the game is far from over, but if they score in the 82nd, that same goal can change the course of the match. On YesPlay you can follow live soccer results with YesPlay while checking the match clock and all the stats.
When judging a game, always look at how much time is left. If there is still plenty of time left you will have more room for mistakes, while if it is late in the match you will have way less time to make any changes. This little trick will save you from going after prices that have already gone up in value.
Check the price
Take a look at what the odds are like. YesPlay shows live soccer markets with extra options in the More markets tab, where they’re available.
The 1×2 market is the basic one: home, draw, away. Totals decide whether the game score will be over or under a certain number. Handicaps give a head start to the weaker team, or the stronger team has to win by a certain amount of goals.
Pick one bet
Step three: Choose a game and don’t switch.
If neither side can score, then you can always get a payout by betting on totals. If one team’s only goal is to defend, then handicap bets might not look attractive. If neither side looks like scoring a goal, then 1×2 bets can backfire pretty hard.
Live soccer is so much more than just betting on every goal. Pick what looks good to you, then keep the bet small.
