A Fancy Bet is a special type of bet, designed specifically for cricket punters. It’s an extra betting market unique to cricket, with its own set of rules. Fancy betting is separate from standard bets and does not impact the liquidity of the betting exchange.
What Do the Terms “Yes” and “No” Mean?
In Fancy Bets, you will encounter the terms “Yes” and “No”. Here’s what they mean:
- “Yes”: You are betting that the event will happen.
- “No”: You are betting that the event will not happen.
Examples of Fancy Bets
Let’s break down a couple of Fancy Bets examples:
- NCC 5 Over Runs
- NCC: The abbreviation for the team.
- 5 Over Runs: Refers to the total number of runs scored in the first five overs of the match.
- If you bet “Yes”, you believe that NCC will score 63 runs or more in the first five overs.
- If you bet “No”, you believe that NCC will score less than 61 runs in the first five overs. This means that the total runs must be 60 runs or below for you to win the bet.
- Fall of 1st WKT NCC
- NCC: The abbreviation for the team.
- Fall of 1st WKT: Refers to the first wicket falling during the match.
- If you bet “Yes”, you believe the first batsman will be out after 58 runs.
- If you bet “No”, you believe the first batsman will be out before 58 runs.
- If the first batsman gets out at 54 runs, betting on “No” will win.
Understanding Odds and Stake Limits
Each Fancy Bet has odds displayed, showing the potential payout for your bet. Alongside these odds, you'll also see the minimum and maximum stake amounts allowed for each bet. You can choose whether to accept the odds provided, but remember, the odds may change between placing the bet and confirming it. So, be aware that price changes could occur, but this allows you to always place your bet.
