I’ll be honest, that first time when I tried a badminton bet, I thought I could just bet on the big name and call it a day, easy peasy. Two matches later I couldn’t believe what was happening because badminton is anything but predictable. In badminton, things change very fast, and a long rally can turn an easy pick into a nail-biting one in a matter of seconds.
Where to find it
That’s why badminton is a perfect fit for YesPlay. Even though this isn’t a sport that would make headlines, YesPlay is all about offering all sports, big and small. You’ll find it under the Sports section with prematch markets, and when fixtures are up you’ll see international tournaments listed.
Badminton is a fun sport, lekker for fitness, and you don’t need much kit to get started.
Because it’s nice and simple game to follow if you want to place bets on your favourite badminton players. If you want to start right away, just go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/badminton and see the full list of upcoming matches for the next few hours. Sometimes it’s busy, sometimes not, so don’t get frustrated if there are not too many options.
Choose one bet type
On YesPlay’s badminton betting page you will find options like Winner, Total points, and Point handicap. If you want even more options, just hit that “More markets” button. Winner is the easy one. Total Points lets you predict just how long and tiring the game will be. Point Handicap is nice when you support the stronger player, but want better odds.
This rule is important: if a game is postponed, your money will be refunded, unless they reschedule the game to start in the next 48 hours. And there’s another thing: if the game is abandoned, but some stuff was already decided, those bets will still count.
Don’t go big early
If you want to bet on sports like Badminton, it’s best to keep your stake nice and small. Instead of throwing R200 on something you don’t know too well, rather put R29 on something you understand. One bad read can easily make you lose more money, so it’s better to avoid this by following one simple idea: Pick one match, pick one idea, and stop there.
