A fancy bet is a specialized betting market designed exclusively for cricket fans, offering unique betting options not found in standard markets. Fancy bets have their own rules, and since they are separate from the main market, they do not impact the liquidity of the betting exchange.

Understanding “Yes” and “No” in Fancy Bets

Fancy bets typically appear as “back” bets, where the terms “yes” and “no” are used to indicate betting on or against a specific outcome:

• “Yes”: Betting that an event will occur.
• “No”: Betting that an event will not occur.

Example of a Fancy Bet: BAN Over 30

In this example, “BAN” represents Bangladesh, and “Over 30 BAN” refers to Bangladesh’s total runs by the end of the first 30 overs of a match.

• Yes Bet: If you bet “Yes,” you’re wagering that Bangladesh will score 114 runs or more in the first 30 overs to win the bet.
• No Bet: If you bet “No,” you’re predicting that Bangladesh’s score will be 111 runs or below by the end of 30 overs to win the bet.

The odds are displayed beneath each run total, and each fancy bet has specific minimum and maximum stakes. You can choose to accept or adjust odds when placing a fancy bet, as prices may shift between creating the bet slip and confirming the wager. This feature ensures you won’t encounter errors or rejected bets due to fluctuating odds.
