Hardly anyone in South Africa watches Handball or puts money on it. Most punters would rather bet on soccer, rugby, or NBA totals. Yet those busy scoreboards hide a sport that can reward patient eyes. On YesPlay, handball sits alongside all of the other big leagues, offering lots of possibilities. The scoreboards are dynamic and the goals come quickly.

Handball on YesPlay

Click on the Sports section and tap on the Handball code. At the top you will see international tournaments, especially women’s EHF European League and Champions League ties, plus some domestic leagues such as Denmark’s Handboldligaen and German Bundesliga. Every match row has three markets including 1×2 result, total goals and handicap, along with some extra bets that you can find under the “More Markets” link. The game has a great design and matches the way the game actually flows, with tight markets and no clutter.

Where It Shines

Handball is great for bettors who like things to be organised. Since scores change quickly, the total score usually sits around 55 to 65 goals, so figuring out totals is like trying to solve a puzzle. On top of that, handicap spreads will give you an idea of how far apart the teams are. If you’re keen to start checking out the games yourself, then go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/handball and see if there’s anything that catches your eye. If you’re willing to risk a R39 stake on a 2.05 totals price, then you’ll get a return of R79 if you are correct.

Who It Suits

If you spend your time following only local soccer or the URC, then watching handball for the first time might be a weird experience. Team names are going to be unfamiliar to you, there’s not a lot of news about it, and it’s hard to find even highlight clips on your feed. Because of this, trying to win big with wild multis is a bad idea. If you enjoy watching numbers, stats, and don’t necessarily care about the teams themselves, then you might enjoy Handball on YesPlay. Handball can spice up your weekend coupon without emptying out your bank account as long as you treat it as a small, specialised sport.
