Blue is back (it happens), pink is lay (it does not). A lay risks stake × (odds − 1) to win the stake. Open a match for its scoreboard, the toss and the live sessions.

About Cricket

The cricket section is an exchange-style book for real matches. One list shows what is in play and what is coming up, each row with 1 / X / 2 prices: blue to back a side (bet that it wins) and pink to lay it (bet that it does not). Live matches show the score — runs, wickets, overs and the scoreboard's status line — and the prices move with it; upcoming fixtures list their start time, with the toss market open until shortly before the start. Open a match for its scoreboard — the chase, the run rates, the over in progress — and its live sessions: runs at an over mark, the innings total, odd or even. Tap a price to add it to your bet slip, set your stake and place the bet; it keeps the price it was placed at. No video stream, just the data, so it loads fast on a phone. Results settle bets as soon as the match is decided. Everyone can watch the book; cricket is real money only, so log in to place a bet.

How to play Cricket

  1. The list shows the matches in play first, then the fixtures by start time, with 1 / X / 2 prices on every row.
  2. Tap a blue price to back a side (it wins) or a pink price to lay it (it does not). Open the match name for the scoreboard, the toss and the live sessions.
  3. Set your stake and press Place bet — logged in, with real money. A back risks the stake; a lay risks stake × (odds − 1), the liability, to win the stake.
  4. Follow the match on its row: the score updates and the prices move with it. Your open bets are listed under My bets.
  5. When the match is decided, winning bets are paid. No result or a tie returns every match-winner risk.

Cricket FAQ

Can I bet on cricket for free?

No. Anyone can open the book and follow the matches, odds and sessions, but placing a bet needs an account and real money. The crash games and casino games have a free demo; cricket does not, and demo play money never applies to it.

Which cricket bets can I place?

Match winner — 1 / X / 2, with a back price (the side wins) and a lay price (it does not) on each, open before the start and in play — and toss winner, open until shortly before the scheduled start. Only a Test match can be drawn.

What is a lay bet?

A bet that an outcome does not happen — the other side of a back bet. You enter a stake, which is what you win if the side loses; what you risk is the liability, stake × (odds − 1), and that is what leaves your balance when you place it.

Is there a live stream?

No. The section shows the match's data — the score, the overs and the scoreboard's status line, updated as the match goes on — which is what the odds are made from and what loads quickly on a phone.

Why do the odds change during a match?

Because the chances do. In play the odds are worked out again from the score — runs, wickets and overs left — each time it updates. A bet keeps the odds it was placed at; if the price shortens before your bet arrives, it is refused and you can place it again at the new price.

What happens if the match has no result?

A washout, an abandoned match or a tie in a limited-overs match returns every match-winner stake. A toss bet is returned if the match is called off before the toss.

Can I bet on cricket on my phone?

Yes. The cards fit a phone screen: tap a side to add it to your bet slip, which stays at the bottom of the screen until you place it.
