GoExch9 Cricket Markets Explained: Fancy Lines, Bookmaker Rates, Suspensions and Settlement
A Fancy line such as 46/48 pays Yes only if the team reaches 48 and No only if it stays on 45 or below. A Bookmaker rate of 62 means ₹62 profit for every ₹100 you back. Every GoExch9 cricket market settles on the official scorecard figure for the span it covers, and it can be suspended whenever a wicket, review or rain makes the old price unfair.
Those three ideas cause most of the cricket questions on our WhatsApp chat, so we’ve worked through each with rupee numbers. For back, lay and liability basics, start with the GoExch9 features page. We don’t give tips or predictions, only how the markets work.
The Markets on a Live GoExch9 Match Screen
Open an IPL fixture and the markets stack roughly like this. Knowing when each is decided tells you how long your money is tied up.
| Market | The question it asks | Decided when |
|---|---|---|
| Toss | Which captain wins the coin toss? | Before the first ball |
| Match Odds | Who wins the match? Prices set by other users. | Official result |
| Bookmaker | Who wins the match? Fixed rates, shown per ₹100. | Official result |
| Fancy / Session | How many runs (or wickets) in a fixed span, such as 6 overs or one batter’s innings? | End of that span |
| Tied Match | Do both sides finish level on runs? | End of the second innings |
Toss settles before play starts. Match Odds, Bookmaker and Tied Match hold your stake or liability until the last ball.
Fancy and Session Lines, Worked Through
A session line has two numbers. The left one is the No figure and the right one is the Yes figure. No wins if the final count is below the No number. Yes wins if it’s at or above the Yes number. Anything in between loses for both sides.
Example: Delhi’s first 6 overs
Before the toss, the “6 over runs Delhi” line is 46/48 with a rate of 100 on both sides. Rate 100 means you win the same amount you stake. One user takes Yes at 48 for ₹500 and another takes No at 46 for ₹500. Here’s how different 6-over scores settle:
| Delhi after 6 overs | Yes at 48, ₹500 | No at 46, ₹500 |
|---|---|---|
| 41 | Lose ₹500 | Win ₹500 |
| 45 | Lose ₹500 | Win ₹500 |
| 46 | Lose ₹500 | Lose ₹500 |
| 47 | Lose ₹500 | Lose ₹500 |
| 48 | Win ₹500 | Lose ₹500 |
| 63 | Win ₹500 | Lose ₹500 |
A big total doesn’t pay more: Yes at 48 wins ₹500 whether Delhi make 48 or 63.
When the rate isn’t 100
Sometimes the two figures are close together and the rates do the work instead. Say the line shows Yes 48 at rate 85. A ₹500 Yes bet then wins ₹425 (500 × 85 ÷ 100) if Delhi reach 48, and loses the full ₹500 if they don’t. On No bets an uneven rate can change what you risk rather than what you win, so read the profit and loss figures on the bet slip before you confirm.
The line moves, your bet doesn’t
Say Delhi race to 24 without loss after 2 overs. The line jumps to 56/58. A wicket falls in the third over, the market suspends, and it reopens at 51/53. The user who took Yes at 48 before the toss still needs only 48. A bet is fixed at the line you took, so later movement changes what new bets cost, not what yours needs.
Other Fancy lines you’ll see
- Single over runs, e.g. “8th over runs” at 8/9. Settles on the runs scored in that over, extras included.
- Player runs, e.g. an opener at 24/25. No wins on 23 or fewer, Yes on 25 or more, and 24 loses for both.
- Fall of wicket, e.g. “1st wicket runs” at 32/34. Settles on the team total when the first wicket falls.
How to Read a Bookmaker Rate
Bookmaker is a match-winner market with fixed rates, written as whole numbers instead of decimals. The rate is your profit per ₹100 when you back. To compare it with Match Odds, divide by 100 and add 1.
Example: India v England, and the Bookmaker market shows India at 62 (back) and 64 (lay).
- Back India for ₹1,000 at 62. India win: you make ₹620. India don’t win: you lose ₹1,000. That’s the same as decimal 1.62.
- Lay India for ₹1,000 at 64. India don’t win: you make ₹1,000. India win: you pay ₹640, which is your liability.
A rate above 100 means that side is the underdog: 150 works like decimal 2.50, so ₹1,000 backed would make ₹1,500. Bookmaker bets are usually accepted straight away at the rate shown, so you don’t wait in an unmatched queue the way you can on Match Odds.
Why a Market Suspends, Event by Event
A suspended market greys out and won’t accept new bets. Bets you’ve already placed are safe. Here’s what usually triggers it and what to expect when it reopens.
| Event | What you see | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Ball being bowled | Fancy and Bookmaker lock briefly, often marked “Ball running” | Wait a few seconds; the line may move once the ball is done |
| Wicket | Every market on the match suspends | Session lines usually reopen lower; unmatched Match Odds bets may be cancelled |
| DRS or third-umpire check | Suspended until the decision | Prices reopen to reflect out or not out |
| Rain or bad light | Suspended, sometimes for a long time | Sessions that can’t finish may be voided; Match Odds waits for the revised target |
| Innings break | First-innings sessions close, new ones open | Second-innings lines appear once the chase target is set |
If you place a bet in the second before a suspension and it doesn’t appear in your open bets, it wasn’t accepted and nothing was taken from your balance.
Toss and Tied Match
Toss is the simplest market on the screen: two outcomes, priced close to even. Back Mumbai for ₹500 at 1.98 and you get ₹990 back (₹490 profit) if their captain wins the call, or lose ₹500 if not.
Tied Match asks whether the two totals finish level. Ties are rare, so prices are high. Back the tie for ₹100 at 40 and you’d get ₹4,000 back (₹3,900 profit). Lay it for ₹100 at 40 and you win ₹100 most of the time, but your liability is ₹3,900 if the scores do finish level. A Super Over doesn’t undo a tie: the tie has already happened, so it settles as a tie.
How Each GoExch9 Cricket Market Settles
Settlement follows the official scorecard. The rules below are the usual ones on Indian exchange panels; each market’s rules tab confirms the detail for that fixture.
| Market | Settles on | If play is cut short |
|---|---|---|
| Match Odds / Bookmaker | The official winner, including DLS results and Super Overs | Abandoned with no result: normally void, stakes returned |
| Session | Runs at the end of the named over | Already decided: settles. Not decided and overs never bowled: normally void. All out early: usually settles on the final total |
| Player runs | The batter’s score when out or when the innings ends | Depends on the market rules; ask us before betting if unsure |
| Toss | The toss result | No toss held: void |
| Tied Match | Scores level at the end of the scheduled innings | No result: normally void |
Once a market settles, winnings are added to your balance and any liability held for that market is released. You don’t need to do anything to claim them.
If You Think a Bet Settled Wrongly
