If you ask me, betting on boxing can trick you into feeling smart for like ten seconds, but it’ll punish you real hard if you’re lazy with your pick.
That is why this works for some South African betters. Not for the guy who likes noise, and not for the oke who bets because his favourite player plays there. You should only bet on Boxing after you do your research, understand the different fighters, read about their history and follow them. A fight is not a soccer match. All it takes is one punch to turn things around and make you lose all your money.
Start with the main markets
· You can find boxing in the YesPlay Sports section where current fights and international matchups are listed.
· Start with the Winner and Total markets. These bets let you see who’s more likely to win, and how long the fight is expected to last.
· Don’t click on the “More markets” button before knowing what that specific option does. You don’t want to bet blind.
· So if you bet R29 and see the price is 1.82, that means that if you stand a chance to win, you’ll get R52.78 back. Easy peasy!
· The draw angle in boxing is important to consider, especially for more experienced bettors.
What to look at
The most obvious bet is sometimes the best one. On the main boxing page, YesPlay clearly shows Winner and Total, and gives you extra choices when you click on a specific fight. This works well for players who like to keep things simple and want to bet without any distractions. Go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/boxing, check out the fights, and see if you want to make a simple bet on who will win, or if you want to bet on the rounds.
Boxing matches are different because they deliver something other sports just can’t. You aren’t watching for ninety minutes hoping something happens. You’re waiting to see whether this fight ends fast with a knockout, drags on forever, or depends on what the judges think.
Know the bell rule
Make sure to memorise one thing: If a boxer doesn’t get up after the bell rings, YesPlay will see the other boxer as the winner of the previous round. If you’re betting on rounds or how long the fight lasts, this is very good to know.
