We all have made this mistake at some point in our lives. Seeing that the favourite team is playing and just hammering that bet button like there’s no tomorrow, without thinking about the bigger picture. In sports like water polo, where draws are quite common, you need to always think twice before betting on one team to win.
Before you bet water polo, make sure you know the game well enough because things move fast, and people tend to make all sorts of side bets to show off.
Start with the 1×2
· When looking at a 1×2 market, keep in mind that X means the score ended up level.
· Sometimes it’s not enough to back the better team if you require them to have the lead first.
· If you know how many goals might be scored, a total bet could be better than a side bet.
· Don’t bet on water polo just because you want to bet on something. Only bet if you’re confident in your wager.
Where to find it
YesPlay hasn’t forgotten about water polo fans either. You can easily find it in the sports section where you can keep track of matches and teams, with competitions like the Champions League, international games, and Italy fixtures also showing up on the board. And remember, YesPlay also has outrights for even bigger competitions.
If you’re looking for the main prematch pool, visit https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/waterpolo and remember to carefully check the match card and the top copy. Keep in mind that YesPlay uses decimal odds, meaning that a R23 single at 2.12 could return you R48.76, stake included.
Take the smarter choice
The tricky part is settlement. In water polo, the game might be level after four quarters and the ticket gets a loss even though they end up getting a winner during shoot-out rules in some competitions. So just be careful when betting to pick a winner.
Before you place that bet, ask yourself: Am I betting for the better team, or am I betting based on the predictions? If it’s the second one, then totals or handicaps is usually a safer choice. Especially in tight international games.
