As soon as I clock out and turn on the kettle, my WhatsApp punters group is already trying to arrange something. During the week, I like to keep it short and play two quick sports that are simple to understand. Table tennis is great for keeping the game quick, and snooker helps me be patient. I can find both of them under Sports on YesPlay. On Saturday, I started out small, with about R100 on a low price to warm up. Decimal odds keep it simple, I know that if I take 1.90, a win returns R190, which already includes my stake.
Table tennis
On YesPlay’s prematch page, I’m usually looking for International events to bet on. Lately, I’ve been seeing TT Cup and TT Elite Series matches, which have clear lines: Winner, Total points, and Point handicap. The list refreshes on its own often, which I find very handy as it allows me to quickly make three or four picks before bed. You can see it the same way I do by visiting https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/table-tennis
Snooker
If I want something slower and a bit more relaxed, I’ll often play Snooker. On YesPlay you can find the main tournaments by clicking on International, including Shanghai Masters and The Masters. The three markets that I use most often are Winner, Total frames, and Frame handicap. If you are thinking of making a pick right now, go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/snooker and keep in mind that value hides in the Frame handicap market.
Quick checks
Live sections and time filters (1h, 3h, 12h, Prematch) make it easy to find markets that are about to begin. If you go to YesPlay’s rules page, you can find information on when bets will be settled, how cash outs are handled, and what to expect from an early exit if it ever appears on your bet slip. It’s always a good idea to familiarise yourself with those details. When it comes to bankroll, don’t spend too much money per night. The key is to play smart and not to chase after non-existent jackpots.
