A cricket bet is nothing more than a thought. R29 at 2.12 is just R29. It’s R29 buying one person’s opinion after looking at something such as “this team, this over, this match state, at this price”.
Many punters fail due to hot-hand thinking. Suddenly every over total looks tasty after watching two fours. Live cricket betting punishes that kind of thinking. YesPlay’s cricket section gives punters plenty of options, from match winner markets to innings over totals.
Live risk
Many say that live betting is safer because you can literally see what the heck is going on. You can see the score, wickets, over number, and which team is under pressure. On YesPlay, if you decide to bet on live cricket, you can check the active games, prices that are changing, and markets such as Winner and over or under runs.
With live betting, you also have to make quick decisions. That price can change while you’re still enjoying your biltong. Live markets give you info, not guarantees.
If you want to access the sport page, go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/live/cricket. You’ll notice how lightning fast the numbers update during the match. Remember, a short boundary doesn’t always mean that next over is going to be a home run, and a wicket doesn’t always mean the match is over.
Instead of betting impulsively, try to think it through first. Imagine your team requires 46 runs from 30 balls with seven wickets in hand. What odds are too low to bet on? What odds are worth the risk? Figure that out before you place your bet.
Rain rules
Rainouts or shortened matches are something that every cricket supporter unfortunately has to get used to. A rain-shortened match can still stand and count as an official result. Always make sure that you know the rules before you bet your money.
Important to remember, if a weather-hit match doesn’t reach the minimum overs needed, you might not get that cash. However, some bets like innings run might still pay out, make sure you keep an eye on that.
