Cricket Markets on Lotus 365

Match odds

Back or lay a team to win. T20 and ODI matches usually have two outcomes. Test matches add a third, the draw, so a lay bet on a team wins if that team loses or the match ends in a draw.

Bookmaker

Fixed odds on who wins, set by the bookmaker instead of other players. Rates are usually shown as profit per ₹100, so a rate of 80 means ₹80 profit on a ₹100 bet.

Fancy and session markets

Fancy markets cover events inside the match. Common ones include runs after 6, 10 or 20 overs, a batter's runs and the fall of the next wicket. You pick Yes if you think the number will be reached and No if you think it will not.

Toss and other markets

Some matches also have markets on the toss winner, top batter or total sixes. Each market has its own rules, so read them before you bet.

Live Betting During a Match

• Odds change ball by ball, and a market can be suspended for a few seconds after a wicket or boundary.
• In-play bets can be held for a short delay before they are accepted. This is normal on exchanges.
• If rain shortens a match, how bets are settled depends on the market rules, so check them before the match starts.

Cricket Betting Tips

• Learn back and lay first with our Lotus365 exchange guide.
• Check team news, the pitch and the weather before the toss.
• Set a budget for each match and do not chase losses in the next over.
• Check your liability on lay and No bets before you confirm.
