You can Bet on American Football on YesPlay. Click on Sports and select NFL. It’s not as hyped as other sports, but it has good odds for night owls who love the game. No need for the fanfare!
For a South African punter, it comes down to choosing the betting style that suits you most. Are you more of a calm and collected punter who likes to analyse games beforehand, or are you more of a quick and decisive punter who likes to react to the game as it unfolds? Either way, both styles are equally good, so it all comes down to personal choice.
Before the game starts
Prematch is for bettors who like to think about their bets first. You can see all the options available without the game being already live. With YesPlay’s American football page you’ll find all the NFL fixtures at https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/american-football.
This approach is great for those of us who like to plan ahead. Maybe you feel like both defences of a team look weak, and that a lot of points are coming? If you’re one of those people, then pregame betting is exactly what you’re looking for! If you bet R27 at 1.84, you get R49.68 back. Enough to have fun and not enough to make you regret your decisions.
After the kickoff
Live betting is great for a patient person. Someone who notices the small details, like when they see a quarterback getting pressured or the favourite looking tired and sloppy. With YesPlay, you can bet live on American Football, giving you a great chance to trust your own judgement instead of just listening to some talking heads on TV.
This won’t necessarily make your betting experience better, but it will make it more interesting. If you are a careful person then you will prefer prematch bets, but if you can read the field and are able to stop chasing bad ideas then live bets are just for you. A line that looked impossible to hit before the game will suddenly start to look easier after the kickoff. A R19 shot at 3.35 is a way more interesting play than measured pregame bets.
