The shot clipping the post, your bet missed by a finger’s width, and your finger is already reaching for that market once more. Then the lights go out.
This pause is extremely important. The live soccer price could have changed while the router was dead all this time while the game was in play. Even though you may think that you placed that bet before the screens went out, it’s still highly possible that it might still be unconfirmed. But load shedding is not going to wait for that striker to score that goal.
Save the betting slip
Before trying to place the same bet again after your internet goes out and comes back, make sure to double-check whether the bet you placed was actually accepted. An accepted ticket should clearly indicate the selection, chosen stake amount, and the odds you agreed to. If you don’t receive any confirmation, don’t assume that the bet was placed just because you pressed the button before the power went out.
YesPlay has Live Soccer Page that will show you the score, the clock, and the markets such as 1X2, totals, and handicaps. Using the Live, 1h, 3h, 12h, and Prematch filters will help you find specific games faster.
The page for soccer results with YesPlay can come in handy once you reconnect, but don’t forget that you can never be certain of the bet unless you get that confirmation.
Odds can change
Say you plan to bet R23 on over 2.5 goals at 1.84. But then before you realize what’s happening outside, your power goes out, making it impossible for you to see what’s happening in front of you. Once you get back online, the score has changed and the market has either closed or has a completely new price.
Unless you want to bet on a worse outcome or have two of the exact same bets on your hands, you should double-check the scoreboard to make sure that the numbers you want to bet on make sense to you. It’s always a good idea to refresh your account to ensure that everything is in order before proceeding.
