A handball bet isn’t just a guess; it’s like buying a ticket to an awesome movie that will have you hooked from start to finish. The score changes non-stop, and you never know who’s gonna win.
That’s why handball might be exactly what you need as a punter from Mzansi. It gives you a proper workout but doesn’t drag on forever like some other sports. The numbers are clear, the action is easy to follow on screen and you don’t have to worry about your phone dying before the final whistle.
With handball, it’s all about time. If you choose the wrong “time” on the market, you might guess the match correctly, but not the bet.
Market shape
YesPlay keeps prematch handball under Sports, so you can easily find any matches you’re looking for. If you want to browse what’s available, https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/handball will bring you straight to it. There you’ll see all the countries that play handball. Simply click on the game and all the options will pop up.
On most fixtures, you’ll first see the simple stuff like 1×2 (home, draw, away), totals for the match, and handicaps. But if you click on “More markets” you’ll see different markets like team totals, odd/even numbers, and half markets like 1st half 1×2 or 1st half totals.
If you’re into quick betting, nothing is better than 1×2, since you’ll immediately see the price and know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.
Time trap
Heads up, everyone: Markets that have a draw outcome are usually decided after 60 minutes. If both teams have the same score at the end of regulation time and then someone takes the lead in overtime, 1×2 still counts full time as the end of the bet.
Been there, done that. You bet on a team to win in 1×2, and they only pull it off in extra time, and your bet goes south, even though they won in the end. What a chop. If you see a game like that coming up, keep your eyes peeled for a market that says overtime is included, or just stick to bets that cover the time you’re after.
