A Fancy Bet is a special betting market designed specifically for cricket matches. It allows users to place bets on specific events, statistics, or outcomes during a cricket match.
Fancy Bets have their own specific rules and settlement conditions. In addition, placing a Fancy Bet does not affect Exchange liquidity.
What Do “Yes” and “No” Mean in Fancy Betting?
Fancy markets generally offer two options: Yes and No.
In a Fancy Bet:
Yes: You are betting that the specified event or condition will occur.
No: You are betting that the specified event or condition will not occur.
In other words, selecting Yes means you expect the given condition to be met, while selecting No means you expect the condition not to be met.
The examples below will help explain how it works.
Example 1: NCC 5 Overs Runs
Suppose a Fancy market is displayed as:
“NCC 5 Overs Runs”
Here, NCC represents the abbreviation of a team's name, while 5 Overs Runs refers to the total number of runs scored by the NCC team during the first 5 overs of the match.
In cricket, one over consists of 6 balls. Therefore, 5 overs consist of a total of 30 balls.
Suppose the market line is set at 63 Runs.
If You Select Yes
If you place a bet on Yes, it means you are betting that:
NCC will score 63 runs or more in the first 5 overs.
For example:
If NCC scores 63 runs or more → Yes wins.
If NCC scores 62 runs or fewer → Yes loses.
If You Select No
If you place a bet on No, it means you are betting that:
NCC will not score 63 runs in the first 5 overs.
Therefore, for the No bet to win, NCC must score 62 runs or fewer in the first 5 overs.
For example:
If NCC scores 62 runs or fewer → No wins.
If NCC scores 63 runs or more → No loses.
Example 2: Fall of 1st WKT NCC
Another example of a Fancy market is:
“Fall of 1st WKT NCC”
Here, NCC represents the abbreviation of a team's name. This market refers to the score at which the first wicket of the NCC team will fall.
Suppose the market line is set at 58 Runs.
If You Select Yes
If you place a bet on Yes, it means you are betting that:
The first wicket of NCC will fall after 58 runs.
For example:
If the first wicket falls at 59 runs or more → Yes wins.
If the first wicket falls at 58 runs or fewer → Yes loses.
If You Select No
If you place a bet on No, it means you are betting that:
The first wicket of NCC will fall before 58 runs.
For example, if the first wicket falls at 54 runs and you have selected No, the No bet wins.
Important: Each Fancy market may have its own specific rules and settlement conditions. Always review the relevant market rules and conditions before placing a bet.
Fancy Bet Odds and Stake Limits
The numbers displayed next to the runs or betting line represent the Odds.
Each Fancy market may have predefined Minimum Stake and Maximum Stake limits.
To check the applicable minimum and maximum stake:
Select the relevant Fancy market.
Click the icon on the right side of the market.
The applicable Minimum Stake and Maximum Stake will be displayed.
You can select the available odds and choose a stake within the applicable limits.
What Happens If the Betting Price Changes?
The Betting Price or Odds may change between the time the bet slip is created and the time the bet is successfully placed.
If the price changes during this period, you may be given the option to accept the updated price and proceed with the bet.
This means that even if the betting price changes before placement, the bet may still be successfully confirmed at the updated price.
Note: The availability and placement of a bet may depend on the current market status and applicable rules. Always review the information displayed on the bet slip before confirming your bet.
