The TV at Bra Tumi’s tavern was doing its usual thing and flickering from time to time, but nobody seemed to care at all. Makhado United were playing a cup final in Polokwane and most of the town had decided to treat it like some sort of national holiday. Those guys playing football were just average Joes. People were sharing some bet slips on their phones with crazy high odds. Even the people who usually don’t care about football had decided to chip in.
Instead of pricy suits, you see people with hope in their eyes, hoping to see their boys lift something big and make a name for themselves.
The big-city guys counted them out from the start. “Nice story, but it’s over” they said as if the game was already decided. The ref blew his whistle! You could see on their faces that the favourite team was under pressure. The other team kept pushing. Everyone in the room jumped on their feet, yelling at the top of their lungs. You could almost feel the tavern blowing up after the underdogs managed to score a goal. It was like 2022 again, when the Pumas upset the Griquas to win their first Currie Cup title ever. I really love seeing an underdog win, don’t you?
If you’re from Limpopo like me, you probably know how hard it is to find a betting shop around the corner, that’s why most people rely on their phones. You can do a quick registration on the website and start playing. The YesPlay mobile app works nice on any smartphone and won’t take up a lot of space on your phone. I even heard that the YesPlay bonus gave someone the guts to finally place a bet and win big for a change instead of just sitting around. Although it’s virtually impossible to find a betting shop in every little village in South Africa, there’s still a way for you to play online straight from your phone, from wherever you are. No matter if your signal is bad, the game will still work and you’ll be able to play without any problems.
