Looking at PSL boards is like trying to read a chalkboard menu in a tavern after payday. The team names are all over the place and you start sweating from pressure, especially if you look at Kaizer Chiefs. Orlando Pirates looks promising and Mamelodi Sundowns are, of course, a heavy favourite. And that’s without mentioning TS Galaxy or Chippa United, who, with nothing to lose, really makes the prices jump out. To any new punter in South Africa, it can all get a bit confusing.
So you want to know what 1×2 means? It’s pretty simple. It stands for the match result. 1 means the home team will win, X means it will be a draw, and 2 means the away team will win. For example, if AmaZulu is playing Kaizer Chiefs, the 1 means AmaZulu will win, the X means the match will be a draw, and the 2 means that Chiefs will win.
Totals bets are pretty simple. If you bet over 2.5, it means that at least 3 goals need to be scored for you to get payout. On the flip side, if you bet under 2.5 it means that you’re betting that two or fewer goals will be scored. A Handicap bet is a bit different. When you bet on Sundowns -1, that means that they have to win by at least 2 goals for you to stand a chance to get payout.
Feeling lekker and wanna prove to your friends that you are a betting master? Why not put some money on Total Goals, Both Teams to Score, Correct Score and many other options? But keep in mind that this is where most betting slips are ruined, so always start slow with some 1×2, Total or Handicap bets before getting ahead of yourself.
