Why Cricket Betting at FairPlay Is Different
Cricket betting has evolved dramatically in recent years. The global cricket betting market is projected to reach $151.2 billion by 2032, with millions of Indian players participating annually. FairPlay stands out because:
- Real-time odds: Updated instantly as match situations change
- Multiple markets: Over 20 different betting options per match
- Live in-play betting: Bet during matches, not just before they start
- Instant payouts: Withdraw winnings within 40 minutes to 2 hours
- Competitive odds: Lower vigorish (house edge) than traditional bookmakers
- 24/7 availability: Access cricket betting whenever matches are happening
Research from 2025 shows: Players who use multiple betting markets earn 40% more than those sticking to single match odds. FairPlay’s market variety lets you capitalize on this.

Understanding the Cricket Betting Interface
Match Display Section
Each match shows:
| Element | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Teams | Which teams are playing (Team 1 vs Team 2) |
| Format | Match type (T20, ODI, Test, U19, etc.) |
| Odds | Decimal odds for each team |
| Liquidity | How much money is available at each odds level (shown in thousands) |
| Status | LIVE (happening now), UPCOMING (starts soon), CLOSED (bet window closed) |
Odds Display:
For each team, you’ll see multiple odds tiers at different prices:
Example for England U19:
- 1.39 odds with 16.2k liquidity
- 1.47 odds with 190 liquidity
- 1.49 odds with 1.2k liquidity
- 1.50 odds with 175 liquidity
- 1.73 odds with 3.2k liquidity

What this means:
- 1.39 odds: Safer bet (team more likely to win), lower payout
- 1.92 odds: Riskier bet (team less likely to win), higher payout
- Liquidity numbers: How much money others have bet at that price (more liquidity = easier to get matched)

Step 3: Understanding Odds and Making Your First Bet
Decimal Odds Explained
FairPlay uses decimal odds (most common in India).
Formula: Total payout = (Odds × Bet Amount)
Example:
- Odds: 1.47 for England U19
- Your bet: ₹100
- If England wins: ₹147 returned (₹100 stake + ₹47 profit)
Another example:
- Odds: 2.08 for India U19
- Your bet: ₹500
- If India wins: ₹1,040 returned (₹500 stake + ₹540 profit)
Implied Probability
What odds really mean in terms of win percentage:
Formula: Implied Probability (%) = (1 / Odds) × 100
Examples:
- Odds 1.47 = (1 / 1.47) × 100 = 68% chance to win
- Odds 2.08 = (1 / 2.08) × 100 = 48% chance to win
- Odds 3.60 = (1 / 3.60) × 100 = 28% chance to win
What this tells you:
- Lower odds (1.47) = higher probability team will win (68%)
- Higher odds (3.60) = lower probability team will win (28%)
- Higher odds = bigger payout potential (for riskier bets)

Cricket Betting Strategies for Winning
Strategy 1: Research Team Form
Before betting, check:
- Recent matches: How have teams performed in last 5 matches?
- Head-to-head: Historical record between these specific teams
- Player availability: Any key players missing?
- Home advantage: Playing at home usually favors the home team
Example: If India is playing at their home ground, their odds will be lower (more favorable) because they have advantage.
Strategy 2: Understand Match Conditions
Cricket is weather and pitch dependent:
- Pitch condition: Batting pitches give high-scoring teams advantage
- Weather: Rain favors teams with better bowling
- Day/Night: Some teams perform better in day or night matches
- Toss: Winning the toss provides strategic advantage
Strategy 3: Monitor Odds Movement
Odds change throughout the day:
- Before toss: Initial odds based on form and history
- After toss: Odds adjust based on team chosen by toss winner
- During match: Odds shift dramatically as match progresses
- Live betting: Best opportunities often appear after first few overs
Smart approach: Wait for initial overs, see which team dominates, then make your bet with updated information.
Strategy 4: Use Multiple Markets
Don’t just bet on “who wins”:
- Session markets: Bet on powerplay runs or death overs specifically
- Player performance: Bet on individual player scores
- Over/unders: Bet on total runs in the match
- Wicket markets: Bet on when wickets will fall
Advantage: Higher odds on specialized markets = bigger payouts
Strategy 5: Bankroll Management
Golden rule: Never bet more than 5% of your total balance on single bet.
Example:
- Your balance: ₹10,000
- Max bet per game: ₹500 (5% of balance)
- If you lose: Still have ₹9,500 to bet with
- Protects you from going broke
Strategy 6: Use Cashout Strategically
Secure profits before match ends:
- Bet ₹1,000 at 2.00 odds on a team
- Team gets wickets but still leading
- Cashout for ₹1,800 (secure ₹800 profit)
- No need to risk losing by waiting
