Most people don’t know how to bet on futsal properly because they bet it like outdoor soccer. They’re expecting a boring 1-0, they are sure the draw is a great option, and they create bets that they think are “easy to win”. Little do they know, futsal is not like soccer. It’s a fast-paced game where anything can happen. So before betting, make sure you know what the numbers are saying.
Totals first
On YesPlay’s futsal board, you’ll easily find the totals next to a match such as 6.5 and 7.5, which means that matches usually have high-scoring games. In other words, betting on over 2.5 is a bad idea.
The big question here is: do you see this being a slow game, or a back-and-forth slugfest with chances traded all night long? Even betting a little can get your blood pumping and put you on the edge of your seat. For example, put R29 on Under 7.5 at 1.74, and you’ll get R50.46 back if the game ends with just a few goals.
Where it sits
YesPlay has lots of cool futsal games that are easy to find. Some of them include Russian Superliga, International Clubs and UEFA Futsal Champions League. The main markets include: 1×2, Total and Handicap. If you want even more options, there is also a more markets tab that you can click on.
You can also check out the Live tab with 1h, 3h, and 12h filters if you’re only interested in the games that are about to start. If you want to skip all that, you can go directly to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/futsal and pick one of the top tournaments.
Read the draw
Another thing that people often forget to consider is how likely a draw is. If you see high odds on the draw for a futsal match, then that usually means that the bookmaker thinks that there’s going to be a winner. So if that’s the case, it would be wiser to bet on the handicap market. But don’t be greedy, or else those small bets could result in a long and ugly night.
