A Saturday in Mzansi can be described with just a few words: braai, PSL, and placing bets on a late game. Sometimes you want something intense like Aussie Rules, but sometimes you just want to see a Shuttle slicing lines like a surgeon’s scalpel as you bet on Badminton. Both of these sports are on YesPlay and waiting for you. If you’re a fan of Kaizer Chiefs or Stormers, you might want to give footy a try, but if you’d rather watch Badminton then go for it.
What works
YesPlay keeps it clean with their user-friendly layout that splits everything by sport, then by competition. In Aussie Rules, the prematch lobby showcases events like AFL Women. Everything is nicely grouped together and you’ll also find a ‘more markets’ toggle button that will reveal deeper bets. To check it out yourself, just go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/aussie-rules any day of the week.
Badminton is played all over the world, so there is always some kind of tournament being played somewhere, whether it’s the Macau Open or something else. To see exactly how everything works, you can simply check out the https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/badminton website and scroll through all of the brackets.
Bet types
When looking at the prematch markets, you’re going to see that the backbone is very similar between the two: match winner, totals, and handicaps. When it comes to Aussie Rules, that means picking the winner, picking a points line or a spread. As for badminton, the same structure applies, but it’s much cleaner because it’s set-based. Prices come in decimal, which is used by most South African bettors, so it will be easy for you to estimate what your potential returns can be.
Things to note
Menus are changed from time to time to match the current calendar, so for example, if you’re looking for women’s AFL fixtures, keep in mind that those are mostly available during their active season. Similarly, with badminton events, you’ll find them changing based on which city is hosting. So if you see fewer options compared to the day before, this may be the reason.
