Many South African bettors visit YesPlay to bet on Soccer, Rugby, and Cricket, but scroll down the list of games on offer and you’ll find the somewhat unusual Water Polo. Who would even bet on it? But once you click on it, you might just change your mind! Scores are tight, periods are short and the markets look nice and clean. The site gives you some options that include picking the winner, or betting on totals and handicaps.

Why Water Polo

Water polo is not nearly as famous in Mzansi as soccer or rugby are, so the odds board tends to be more stable because of that. Each water polo team has seven players. Unlike basketball scores are usually low. In water polo, it’s always better to use habits when predicting totals instead of just chasing your gut feeling.

On YesPlay you’ll find water polo in the sports section where you’ll see events such as the U20 World Championship and many others. You’ll see options for 1×2 and goal totals, and if that’s not enough just click on the more markets button and have at it. If you want to bet on games that already started just switch to live and see what the quarter by quarter momentum looks like.

How To Play

• Low-Effort Route: If you’re just starting out and want to keep things nice and simple, you can stick to the 1×2 market, where you simply pick the winner of the match.
• Goals-Only Habit: Some bettors prefer to keep things simple and only bet on goals. Instead of picking sides, focus on total goals scored over/under in a match. You can find these bets by opening https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/waterpolo.
• Handicap Angle: If one team looks way stronger than the other, you can back them on a handicap instead of a very short 1×2 price to get better return on investment.
• Live-Player Mindset: Keep an eye on live games to see how they unfold. If both teams are constantly attacking each other but no one is scoring, then you can go for over bet and potentially make some good money.
