Rugby is an important part of South African culture. We grew up with legends like Francois Pienaar and Bryan Habana, so when we bet on a rugby match, it makes us feel like we’re actually part of the game. YesPlay offers many different betting options for major competitions, such as the United Rugby Championship, the Six Nations, Rugby League events, and the Rugby World Cup. Make sure to place your bets before the match starts so you have enough time to evaluate the teams. You can find the latest fixtures and pre-match numbers at https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/rugby.
How It Works
If you want to start betting, you need to understand how it all works. Here are some of the most common options:
- Match Winner: The most basic way to bet. Pick who you think is going to win the match, or bet on a draw, which is less common. The odds will reflect the perceived chances, so betting on an underdog can be quite rewarding.
- Handicap Betting: If one team is expected to win, bookmakers will apply a point handicap to make things fair. If the team has a (-12.5) handicap, it means they must win by 13 points or more for you to win the bet. Handicap markets are a good way to find better value, even if you’re betting on the expected winner.
- Total Points (Over/Under): In this case, you need to predict whether the total combined points scored by both teams in the match will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than a number set by YesPlay (for example, 52.5 points). Take into account factors like the weather, tactics, and scoring form of the team, as all of these will help you make the correct prediction.
Big Boxing Bouts
Now let’s talk about boxing, which is much more intense and brutal than the team dynamic of rugby. Big fights around the world always start heated discussions about who’s got the power, stamina, and ring smarts. If you follow boxing, you’ll be happy to know that YesPlay covers all the major international fights, often releasing odds weeks or months before the actual event. This gives boxing fans a good amount of time to see how the odds change and maybe grab a good deal before things change.
A very common boxing bet is Match Winner (or Moneyline), where you just bet on the boxer who you think will win. But there are more bets you can make. Round Betting allows you to predict the round in which the fight will end, but it takes knowledge of a fighter’s fighting patterns. Total Rounds Betting is similar to rugby, as it allows you to predict whether the fight will go over or under a set number of rounds (for example, 8.5 rounds). With Method of Victory, you can wager on how the fight will end: will it be by KO, TKO, decision, or maybe a draw? Finding what you’re looking for is very simple.

Keeping it Smart
If you’re following rugby or wrestling, adding some money to the equation can certainly make watching a lot more exciting. If you’re a sports fan living in South Africa, YesPlay makes it super simple to bet. As always, make sure to bet responsibly by doing a bit of research and never bet more than you’re comfortable losing. By following those simple rules you’ll make watching that much more enjoyable.
