Friday night lights at the local bar, two bottles of cold lager on the table, and commentators shouting in Las Vegas. What better pastime can there be for a South African than putting money on a boxer? YesPlay will show you all of the boxing matches in clear decimal odds, making it easy to see how much a R100 note might get you. Ryan Garcia, for example, pays a modest R108 against Rolando Romero, so he’s likely to win. And Romero pays R680, which means only very few believe in his victory.
Victory markets keep it simple. Pick your fighter, wait for them to win and collect the money. But often it’s more wise to bet on how long the match will last. If we take Bakole versus Ajagba as an example, you can bet on whether the fight will last over or under 7.5 rounds with both sides being priced at 1.85. This means that experts believe that either fighter could win or lose quickly. Punters who keep up to date on things like chin strength or foot-speed gains will often spot value before it becomes obvious to everyone else.
Before you lock in your bet, always refresh that live board and double-check everything. At https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/boxing you can check today’s boxing card and see if there were any late moves. Were there any surprise absences? Did someone look drained? By doing all this you’ll greatly increase your odds of guessing correctly. And because YesPlay follows all the rules and regulations set out by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, every market is a fair one. On top of all that, the mobile website is very responsive and works perfectly even on older smartphones.
