Cricket Betting on Reddy Book (Reddy Anna Book) – Markets, Session Betting & How It Works

How we verify this guide: every month we log in with a live Reddy Book ID during an actual match, check that each market described below still appears the way we describe it, and confirm the ID, deposit and settlement process with the WhatsApp support desk before updating this page.

Cricket betting on Reddy Book (also known as Reddy Anna Book) runs on an exchange, which means you can back an outcome or lay it, at odds set by other users rather than a fixed bookmaker. For a typical match the exchange lists match odds, a bookmaker market, toss, and a long list of session (fancy) markets such as runs in the first 6, 10, 15 or 20 overs, individual player runs, fall of the next wicket, partnership runs and boundary counts. Longer-format games add innings runs, completed-match and tied-match markets, plus top batter and top bowler. To access any of them you need a cricket betting ID, which is created for you by a support agent on WhatsApp: you message, the agent confirms your details and shares a login ID and password, and after your first deposit is confirmed every market on the exchange is open to you. There is no self-registration form and no app-store listing.

How exchange cricket betting works on Reddy Book

Most people who search for "reddy anna cricket betting" have used a fixed-odds site or a local bookie at some point, so the exchange format takes a little adjusting. The key difference is that there is no house taking the other side of your bet. The exchange simply matches people who think an outcome will happen with people who think it will not. If you understand this one idea, every market on the platform becomes much easier to read. If you are still at the stage of deciding whether you need an ID at all, the online cricket ID hub covers what the ID is and what it costs to open.

Back and lay: the two sides of every bet

When you back a selection, you are saying it will happen. Back India at 1.80 with ₹100 and you win ₹80 profit if India win; you lose ₹100 if they do not. When you lay a selection, you are saying it will not happen, and you are effectively acting as the bookmaker for whoever backs it. Lay India at 1.80 for ₹100 and you keep the backer's ₹100 if India lose, but you must pay out ₹80 if India win. The amount you stand to pay is called your liability, and the exchange deducts it from your available balance the moment the lay bet is placed.

On the screen, back prices sit in a blue column and lay prices in a pink column. The blue column shows the best price currently on offer for backers; the pink column shows the best price available if you want to lay. The small gap between them is the spread, and it tends to be very narrow on big IPL and international matches and wider on domestic or associate fixtures.

Odds formats you will see: decimal and the Indian lagai/khai style

Reddy Book displays exchange markets in decimal odds, where the number tells you the total return per rupee including your stake. Odds of 2.50 return ₹250 for a ₹100 stake (₹150 profit plus the ₹100 back). Odds of 1.50 return ₹150 (₹50 profit).

Alongside this, the bookmaker and many Indian-style markets use the traditional lagai/khai display that most Indian punters already know from local betting. Here the rate is shown as a figure such as 85 or 1.85, and it means "win 85 paise for every rupee staked". So a lagai (back) at 85 on a team means a ₹1,000 stake wins ₹850 profit. Khai is the lay side of the same rate: khai at 85 means you are offering to pay 85 paise per rupee to anyone backing that team. Converting between the two is simple: decimal odds minus 1 gives you the lagai rate, so 1.85 decimal is 85 lagai, 2.20 decimal is 120 lagai (sometimes written as 1.20 in the Indian style), and 1.08 decimal is 8 lagai.

Session markets use a slightly different display again. Instead of a team or player, you see a number line (for example 6-over runs 48-50) and a Yes and a No side, each with a rate that is often 100 but can be 90, 95 or 110 depending on the balance of money. We explain how to read these in detail further down the page.

Liability, matched bets and unmatched bets

Three terms decide what happens to your balance after you tap "place bet".

  • Liability is the maximum you can lose on a bet. For a back bet it is your stake. For a lay bet it is stake multiplied by (odds minus 1). Laying at 4.00 for ₹100 means a liability of ₹300.
  • A matched bet is one that another user has accepted at your price. Only matched bets count. Your exposure on the market shows what you stand to win or lose once the market settles.
  • An unmatched bet is sitting in the queue waiting for someone to take the other side. It can be matched in full, in part, or not at all. If the market suspends or the odds move away, the unmatched portion stays open until you cancel it or until the market closes, at which point it is returned to your balance.

Because odds move quickly in live cricket, part-matching is common. If you ask for ₹500 at 1.95 and only ₹300 is available at that price, ₹300 is matched and ₹200 waits. Check the "matched / unmatched" tab on the exchange before assuming your whole stake is on. This single habit avoids most of the "my bet did not count" complaints that reach support.

Cricket betting markets on Reddy Book explained one by one

Below is every market type that regularly appears on the exchange, with a small worked example for each. All stakes are hypothetical and deliberately small; they are there to show the arithmetic, not to suggest a stake size.

Match odds

The simplest and most liquid market. In a limited-overs match it has two selections (the two teams); in a Test it has three (both teams plus The Draw). You back or lay a selection at the current decimal price. Match odds open days before the game, stay live through every ball, and settle on the official result.

Example: Mumbai are 1.70 to beat Chennai. You back Mumbai with ₹200. Mumbai win: profit ₹140, return ₹340. Mumbai lose: you lose ₹200. If instead you lay Chennai at 2.40 with ₹200, your liability is ₹280; Chennai lose and you keep ₹200, Chennai win and you pay ₹280.

Bookmaker market

The bookmaker market covers the same question as match odds (who wins) but it is priced in the lagai/khai style and runs a little differently. Rates are shown as whole numbers such as 72 / 75, there is no long queue of prices at different levels, and bets are accepted instantly at the displayed rate rather than waiting to be matched. Many Indian users prefer it precisely because it feels like the familiar local book. Liquidity is managed by the operator rather than purely by other users, so it may suspend more often around wickets and boundaries. The bookmaker market also sometimes lists a third option, such as a tie or a specific margin, that the exchange match odds do not.

Example: Lagai 72 on Rajasthan with ₹500. Rajasthan win: profit ₹360. Rajasthan lose: you lose ₹500. Khai 75 on Rajasthan with ₹500 means you are laying; you pay ₹375 if Rajasthan win and keep ₹500 if they lose.

Toss betting

Toss betting is a pre-match market on which captain calls correctly. It is usually a Yes/No or two-team market at rates close to even money, and it suspends at the moment the coin is in the air. Because the toss is a pure coin flip, there is no "edge" to be found; treat it as a small entertainment market, not a place to stake meaningfully. If the match is later abandoned, the toss market normally stands because the toss itself did happen, but this is one of the rules worth reading in the exchange's terms before you rely on it.

Session and fancy markets

"Fancy" is the exchange's umbrella name for the dozens of in-play number markets on a cricket match, and "session" is the most common of them. Here is what each one asks.

  • Runs in 6 overs (powerplay session): total team runs at the end of the sixth over of the current innings. Shown as a line such as 52-54.
  • Runs in 10, 15 and 20 overs: the same question at later checkpoints. In ODIs you also see 35-over and 50-over lines; in Tests you see sessions by day (lunch, tea, stumps).
  • Player runs: how many runs a named batter will score in the innings, for example "Kohli runs 32-34".
  • Fall of wicket (FOW): the team total when the next wicket falls, for example "FOW 1st wicket 28-30".
  • Partnership runs: runs added by the current pair before either is dismissed.
  • Boundaries: number of fours, sixes, or both, in the match or innings.
  • Odd/even and "lambi": whether the innings total ends odd or even; "lambi" is the Indian term for the full-innings total line.

Example: The 6-over session reads 48 No / 50 Yes, both at rate 100. You bet ₹200 on Yes at 50. If the team is 50 or more after six overs you win ₹200; if they are 49 or fewer you lose ₹200. Someone betting ₹200 on No at 48 wins if the total is 47 or fewer and loses at 48 or more. Totals of exactly 48 or 49 are the operator's margin zone, where the Yes backer and the No backer both lose; this gap is how the market pays for itself, and it is why a two-run or three-run gap matters more than most beginners realise.

Completed match and tied match

Both are Yes/No markets priced on the probability of an unusual event. Completed match asks whether a result will be reached (relevant when rain is forecast); tied match asks whether the scores will finish level after the scheduled overs. Tied-match Yes prices are usually very long (30.0 and above) and completed-match prices move sharply with the weather radar. These are low-liquidity markets where a single ₹1,000 bet can shift the price, so queue your bet at your own odds rather than taking whatever is displayed.

Innings runs

A line on the first-innings or second-innings total, available pre-match and in play. In T20s it behaves like a 20-over session; in ODIs and Tests it is distinct because the innings may end early through dismissal or declaration. Innings runs is the market where DLS, early collapses and declarations create the most settlement questions, so the "Rain rules and DLS" section below is worth a careful read.

Top batter and top bowler

Multi-runner markets where you back the player you think will score the most runs (or take the most wickets) for a team or in the match. Prices range from around 3.00 for an opener to 50.0 or more for a lower-order batter. This is the market where the dead-heat rule applies most often, because two batters can finish on the same score. The dead-heat example further down shows exactly how your return is calculated when that happens.

How to read a session market: step by step

"How to play session in cricket betting" is the single most common question support receives from new ID holders, so here is the full procedure in the order you actually do it on the screen. Keep the exchange open on a live match while you read this and the layout will click quickly.

  1. Find the fancy tab. Open the match page and switch from "Match Odds" to the tab labelled Fancy or Session. Markets are listed as rows with a name on the left and two price boxes on the right.
  2. Read the market name. "6 Over Runs MI", "Rohit Runs", "FOW 2nd Wkt" and so on. Make sure you know which team or player it refers to; the name is usually abbreviated.
  3. Read the two numbers. The left (pink) box is the No line and the right (blue) box is the Yes line. In "52 / 54" you are being offered No at 52 and Yes at 54.
  4. Read the rate below each number. Usually 100, which means even money: win the same amount you stake. A rate of 90 means you win ₹90 per ₹100; a rate of 110 means you win ₹110 per ₹100.
  5. Decide Yes or No. Yes at 54 means you think the total will be 54 or more at the checkpoint. No at 52 means you think it will be 51 or fewer.
  6. Enter your stake and confirm. A slip appears showing stake, rate and potential profit. On fancy markets the bet is accepted instantly at the rate shown, provided the market has not suspended in the half-second between your tap and the server.
  7. Watch the line move. After every ball the line is re-priced. A boundary pushes it up; a dot ball or wicket pulls it down. Your bet is locked at the line you took.
  8. Check the result at the checkpoint. When the sixth over ends (or the batter is dismissed, or the wicket falls) the market settles and the profit or loss moves into your balance.
You seeMeansYou win ifYou lose if
6 Over Runs 52 / 54, rate 100 / 100No at 52, Yes at 54Yes: total is 54+; No: total is 51 or lessYes: 53 or less; No: 52 or more
Rohit Runs 30 / 32, rate 100 / 90No at 30 pays even; Yes at 32 pays 90 per 100Yes: Rohit makes 32+; No: Rohit out for 29 or lessYes: dismissed for 31 or less; No: he reaches 30
FOW 1st Wkt 24 / 26Team total when first wicket fallsYes: first wicket falls at 26 or later (or never); No: falls at 23 or earlierYes: wicket at 25 or less; No: wicket at 24 or more
Partnership 3rd Wkt 40 / 42Runs added before the 3rd wicket fallsYes: 42+ added; No: 39 or fewerYes: 41 or less; No: 40 or more
Match 4s 28 / 30Total fours in the matchYes: 30 or more fours; No: 27 or fewerYes: 29 or fewer; No: 28 or more

A useful mental check: the Yes number is always the higher one and you need the real figure to reach it. The No number is always the lower one and you need the real figure to stay below it. Anything that lands in the gap between the two loses for both sides.

Cricket betting glossary: 20 terms you will meet on the exchange

Strategy basics, written responsibly

Nothing on this page predicts results or promises returns. Cricket is a high-variance sport and the exchange's margin means the typical user loses money over time. What follows are habits that keep losses controlled and help you understand what you are looking at. If you are reading this to find a "winning system", please stop here and read the play-responsibly section instead.

Bankroll and unit size

Decide in advance how much money you are prepared to lose in a month without it affecting rent, EMIs, family expenses or savings. That figure is your bankroll. Divide it into at least 50 units; a ₹5,000 monthly bankroll gives you a ₹100 unit. Stake one unit on a normal bet and never more than two or three on anything. The point of this discipline is not to beat the market. It is to make sure a bad week is boring rather than damaging. Deposit the bankroll in one go and do not top up mid-month; if it is gone, the month is over.

Avoid chasing

Chasing is increasing your stake after a loss to "get it back". Sessions make this dangerously easy because a new line appears every over and the market feels like it owes you something. It does not. The line after your loss is priced fresh with the same margin. If you notice yourself staking three units after losing two, close the browser for the rest of the match. Writing a stake plan before the toss and sticking to it is the single most effective habit in this entire guide.

Reading pitch, weather and toss

Session lines are set by traders who have already priced in the obvious factors, so your job is to understand the context, not to out-guess them. A few general observations that hold across formats:

  • Red-soil pitches in India and the dry surfaces of the UAE and Sri Lanka tend to slow down as the game goes on, which affects second-innings session totals.
  • Dew in evening games makes the ball skid onto the bat and is harder for spinners to grip, which is one reason chasing teams are often favoured at venues known for heavy dew.
  • A strong breeze across the ground changes boundary counts at one end more than the raw run rate.
  • Reading the toss means asking "what does the captain want to do and why", not betting on the coin. If a captain chooses to bowl at a venue where chasing is historically preferred, the 6-over and 10-over lines for the first innings often open lower than the venue average.
  • Team sheets matter more than reputations. A side missing its two main death bowlers changes the 15-to-20-over session picture.

The ball-by-ball cash-out concept

Exchange markets have no "cash out" button in the fixed-odds sense, but you can achieve the same result by placing the opposite bet. Suppose you backed Yes at 54 on a 6-over session for ₹200 at rate 100. After four overs the team is 44 for 0 and the line has moved to 60 / 62. You can now bet No at 60 for ₹200. Whatever happens, one of your two bets wins and the other loses, so you have locked in a position: if the final 6-over total is between 54 and 59 you win both (₹400 profit); below 54 you win the No and lose the Yes (break even); 60 or above you win the Yes and lose the No (break even). The same logic applies in match odds, where backing at 2.00 and laying at 1.50 locks in a profit regardless of the result. Cash-out thinking is a tool for managing risk, not a trick that generates money from nothing, and it only works when the market is open and liquid enough to match your second bet.

When sessions get suspended

Fancy markets suspend constantly and that is normal. Expect suspension in the following moments: the bowler is in his run-up and the ball is live; a wicket has fallen and the trader is re-pricing; a DRS review is underway; a boundary is being checked; the broadcast feed the trader is watching has lagged; there is a rain or light stoppage; and in the final over of any session when the outcome is nearly decided. If a market suspends while you are placing a bet, the bet is simply rejected and nothing is taken from your balance. If you see a session that stays suspended for the rest of the innings, the trader has pulled it, usually because the innings ended early or there was a scoring correction; it will settle according to the rules, not at the last displayed line.

Rain rules and how DLS affects settlement

Rain creates most settlement confusion, so it helps to separate what typically happens by market. Exact wording differs between exchanges, so treat this as a general guide and read the rules page on your exchange before a wet fixture.

  • Match odds: settle on the official result, including a DLS result. If there is no result (abandoned, no-result), bets are void and stakes are returned.
  • Sessions on overs (6, 10, 15, 20): if the stated over is completed, the session settles on the actual total. If the innings is cut short by rain before that over is reached, the session is normally void. If the innings ends early because the team is all out, the session usually settles on the final total (an all-out side at 61 in 17 overs means the 20-over session settles at 61).
  • Innings runs / lambi: if the innings is shortened by rain and the team was not all out, the market is typically void; if DLS reduces the match before the innings starts, the market is normally re-opened with a new line for the reduced overs.
  • Player runs: settle on the batter's actual score when dismissed or when the innings closes; a rain-shortened innings with the batter not out is often voided depending on how many overs were lost.
  • Toss, completed match, tied match: toss stands; completed-match settles No if there is no result; tied-match settles on the scorecard.
  • Top batter / top bowler: usually settled if a result is reached; void if the match is abandoned, though some exchanges settle once each side has batted a set minimum number of overs.

When a result comes via DLS, remember that the winning team is simply the one the DLS method declares; there is no separate "DLS market". Session totals already achieved before the interruption are not adjusted.

Dead heat in cricket betting, with an example

A dead heat occurs when two or more selections in a multi-runner market finish exactly level. In cricket it most often happens in top batter or top bowler markets. The rule is that your stake is divided by the number of tied selections, and the divided stake is paid at the full odds; the remainder of the stake is lost.

Example: You back Batter A at 4.00 with ₹100 to be the team's top scorer. A and B both make 62 and nobody passes them. Two selections tie, so your stake is halved: ₹50 is settled as a winner at 4.00, returning ₹200 (₹150 profit), and ₹50 is settled as a loser. Net result: +₹100 instead of the +₹300 a clean win would have given. If three batters had tied, only one-third of your stake would be paid at the odds. Lay bets work in reverse: if you laid Batter A and A dead-heats, you pay out on the proportion of the stake that is treated as a winner.

Void and abandoned match rules

A void bet is cancelled and the stake returned in full with no profit and no loss. Bets are typically voided when a match is abandoned without a result, when a market cannot be settled under its own rules (a session where the stated over was never bowled), when a player named in a market does not bat, or when an obvious pricing error ("palpable error") is identified by the operator. Abandonment before the toss voids everything. Abandonment after the toss leaves the toss market standing and voids match odds; sessions that reached their checkpoint before the rain are settled, those that did not are void. If a match is postponed to another day within the same venue and competition, match odds usually stand; if it is rescheduled beyond the operator's stated window (often 48 hours), they are void. Void stakes are returned to the balance automatically when the market is settled, which can take a few hours after the official abandonment is announced. If a void stake has not appeared by then, support can check the settlement log for you.

IPL betting with a Reddy Book ID: how session markets behave

The IPL is where most Indian users first search for an "ipl betting id", and it is also where fancy markets are deepest. Every game has sixty or more fancy lines over the evening, liquidity on match odds is high, and the bookmaker market rarely closes for long. What follows is a general description of how session markets move across a T20 innings. It is not a prediction tool and the numbers below are illustrative ranges, not forecasts for any specific match.

Powerplay (overs 1 to 6)

The 6-over line opens before the first ball based on the venue, the two opening batters and the bowling attack. Expect the opening line on most Indian grounds to sit somewhere in the forties to mid-fifties, with higher numbers at small, flat venues and lower ones where there is early swing or a slow outfield. The line moves sharply in the first two overs because each boundary is a large fraction of the total. A wicket in the first over can drop the line by six to eight runs instantly. The 6-over market is the most heavily traded session of the match and also the one where beginners lose most quickly, because the swings are large and the gap between Yes and No feels small.

Middle overs (7 to 15)

The 10-over and 15-over lines are quieter. Spinners usually operate here, the field spreads, and run rates settle into the sevens and eights on a normal surface. Player-runs markets for set batters become active; fall-of-wicket and partnership lines are re-priced after each dismissal. If you want to practise reading sessions with slower movement, this phase is far more forgiving than the powerplay. Traders also open the lambi (innings total) line properly during this phase once the shape of the innings is clearer.

Death overs (16 to 20)

The 20-over line and the final innings total converge. Boundary markets (match fours, match sixes) become volatile because death-over hitting can add four or five boundaries in a single over. Suspensions are longer and more frequent as traders protect themselves. The gap between Yes and No often widens from two runs to three or four. Many experienced users simply stop placing new session bets after the sixteenth over and let their earlier positions settle; the margin is highest exactly when the temptation to bet is strongest.

Second-innings chases

In the chase, session lines are influenced by the required rate as well as the pitch. A side chasing 220 will have a 6-over line well above the first-innings equivalent because they must attack; a side chasing 140 may have a lower line because they can bat conservatively. Match odds and sessions are therefore linked: a boundary-filled powerplay in a chase moves both the 6-over line and the price of the chasing team. Watching how the two move together is one of the better ways to understand what the market is "thinking" without placing anything at all.

Common mistakes in cricket session betting and how to avoid them

MistakeWhy it costs moneyWhat to do instead
Reading the Yes/No line backwardsBetting No when you expected a big total, or Yes when you expected a collapseMemorise: Yes is the higher number and needs to be reached; No is the lower number and must not be reached
Ignoring the rate below the lineAssuming every session pays even money when it is actually 85 or 90Look at the rate before the stake; a rate below 100 changes the maths
Treating an unmatched bet as placedThinking you are covered when only part of the stake is matchedCheck the matched / unmatched tab immediately after every exchange bet
Staking into the marginBetting both Yes and No on the same line hoping to "cover"; the gap loses bothOnly take both sides when the line has moved enough to leave a profitable middle
Chasing a lost 6-over session in the 10-over lineIncreased stake on a fresh market with the same marginFix unit size before the toss; never stake more than three units
Betting the toss as if it had an edgeEven-money coin flip with a margin attachedTreat toss as entertainment at the smallest stake, or skip it
Assuming sessions settle on the last displayed lineMarkets settle on actual runs, not on where the line was when it suspendedRead the settlement rules for rain-shortened and all-out scenarios
Using third-party login links or APKsFake pages copy the exchange layout to steal credentials and depositsUse only the link and APK sent by official WhatsApp support
Depositing before confirming the UPI detailsMoney sent to a wrong or stale account cannot be recoveredConfirm payment details in writing in the WhatsApp chat before every deposit
Betting while tired, drinking or upsetDecision quality collapses and stake discipline goes with itSet a time limit as well as a money limit; log out at the end of it

How settlement and balance updates work

Understanding the timeline between a bet and the money appearing in your balance removes a lot of anxiety during a match. Here is what happens behind the scenes.

  1. Placement: when you place a back bet, the stake is deducted from your available balance and held. When you place a lay bet, your liability is held instead. Your "available" figure drops immediately; your "balance" figure does not change until settlement.
  2. Matching: for exchange markets, the bet sits in the queue until matched. For bookmaker and fancy markets, acceptance is instant at the displayed rate.
  3. In-play: you can see the open bet in your "My Bets" or "Open Bets" list. The exposure column shows your worst-case loss across the market.
  4. Market closure: once the event completes (the over ends, the wicket falls, the match finishes), the market closes to new bets.
  5. Result confirmation: traders confirm the result against the official scorecard. For sessions this takes seconds to a few minutes. For match odds it normally happens within minutes of the presentation ceremony, though a DRS-related scoring correction or an official review can delay it.
  6. Settlement: winning stakes are returned with profit, losing stakes are removed, held liabilities are released. The profit-and-loss statement in the ID lists each settled bet with the market name, odds or rate, stake and result.
  7. Withdrawal: the settled balance can be withdrawn via the same WhatsApp channel through which you deposited, at any time of day. The agent confirms bank or UPI details and processes the request; limits and timing are confirmed in writing when your ID is created.

Settlement is done in the exchange's wallet currency, which displays as points equal to rupees. If a market is later re-settled because of a scorecard correction, the exchange reverses the first settlement and applies the correct one; you will see both entries in your statement. This is rare but it does happen, usually with boundary counts or player-runs markets after an official scoring amendment. Understanding how the balance screen relates to the Reddy Book login page and the main dashboard is covered in the login guide, including what to do if your balance looks wrong after a session.

Disputes: what support can and cannot do

Settlement disputes are handled by the exchange's trading team, and WhatsApp support acts as your route to them. It helps to know the boundaries in advance so that you ask for the right thing.

What support can do

  • Pull the bet log for your ID showing the exact time, market, rate and stake of every bet, matched or unmatched.
  • Explain why a particular market settled the way it did, with reference to the rule that applied (all-out settlement, rain void, dead heat and so on).
  • Raise a formal re-check with the trading desk if you believe a session was settled on the wrong figure, and relay the outcome.
  • Confirm deposit credits and withdrawal status, and correct a deposit that was credited to the wrong ID when the transfer proof matches.
  • Reset your password, issue a fresh login link if a mirror URL is not loading, and set deposit or self-exclusion limits on request.

What support cannot do

  • Reverse a correctly settled bet because you misread the Yes/No side or the rate. The bet slip you confirmed is the record.
  • Honour a bet that was unmatched when the market closed, or one that was rejected because the market suspended.
  • Change a settlement that follows the exchange's published rules, even if a different exchange would have settled differently.
  • Offer compensation for odds movements, lag, or your own connection dropping mid-bet.
  • Give betting tips, predictions or "sure" sessions. Anyone offering these in the name of Reddy Book is not official support.

When you raise a dispute, send a screenshot of the bet slip or the My Bets entry, the match name and the market name, and state in one line what you think the correct settlement is. Disputes raised within 24 hours of settlement are far easier to resolve than ones raised days later. The full set of rules is in the terms and conditions, and if you would rather send a written complaint, use the contact page or email [email protected].

Get a cricket betting ID to access these markets

Everything described above is behind a login. The ID is created by a human agent on WhatsApp, which is slower than a web form but means someone has actually confirmed who you are and explained the deposit process before you put money in. The steps are the same whether you call it a cricket betting ID, an IPL betting ID or simply a Reddy Anna ID.

  1. Open the official WhatsApp chat using the button below. Do not use numbers found in comments, Telegram groups or search ads.
  2. Send a short message such as "I want a new cricket betting ID". Mention if you want a demo ID first.
  3. Answer the agent's confirmation questions. Expect to confirm you are 18 or over and to give a name for the ID. Never share bank passwords, OTPs or card numbers; the agent does not need them.
  4. Receive your login ID, password and the current working site link. Save the link from the chat; do not search for the site.
  5. Log in and change the password before anything else, then enable any security option the exchange offers.
  6. Ask for the deposit details in writing. The agent will share UPI or bank details and confirm the limits, timing and any welcome / deposit / cashback offer applicable at the time. Offers change and terms apply.
  7. Transfer and send the proof. The agent confirms the credit and your balance appears in the exchange.
  8. Open a live match and start with the match odds tab before exploring fancy markets.

Get your Reddy Book ID on WhatsApp

The signup guide walks through the same conversation with screenshots of what the agent sends. If you prefer a different exchange interface for the same cricket markets, the platform comparison explains how the 11xplay, Cricbet99 and Laser247 IDs differ from a standard Reddy Book ID and which one shows fancy markets in the layout you prefer.

Use a demo ID to practise reading markets

You can ask the agent for a demo or trial ID before depositing. A demo ID opens the same exchange interface with a notional balance that cannot be withdrawn. It is the right way to practise reading session lines, placing a lay bet to see how liability is held, and watching how fancy markets suspend and re-open during a live over. Spend at least one full T20 match on the demo before you deposit real money; in our experience the people who skip this step are the ones who later message support about a bet they placed on the wrong side of a session. Demo balances are periodically reset and some low-liquidity markets may not display on a demo, which is normal.

After you have your ID: a short checklist

  • Password changed from the one the agent sent.
  • Official site link saved from the WhatsApp chat, not from a search result.
  • Deposit details confirmed in writing in the same chat before every transfer.
  • Monthly bankroll decided and deposited once.
  • Unit size written down (bankroll divided by 50 or more).
  • Exchange rules page read, especially the rain and all-out settlement rules.
  • The mobile-browser version or the official APK set up as described in the Reddy Book app guide; nothing downloaded from third-party sites.

Legal position: read before you bet

This website is an information and support site for Reddy Book. It is not a betting operator and it does not accept bets. Whether you may lawfully use an online betting exchange depends on where you are in India, and the position is not simple.

  • The Public Gambling Act, 1867 is the colonial-era central law on gambling houses. It predates the internet and does not mention online betting directly.
  • Gambling is a State subject under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, so each state frames its own rules. Several states, including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, have laws that restrict or prohibit online real-money games, and the exact scope of those laws has been contested in court more than once.
  • The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 prohibits "online money games" and their advertising at the central level, which directly affects real-money cricket betting services and how they can be promoted.
  • The Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it govern intermediaries, blocking orders and cyber offences, and are the basis on which betting-related sites and apps are sometimes blocked.
  • You must be 18 or older. The agent will refuse to create an ID for anyone who cannot confirm this.

We do not claim that using Reddy Book is legal everywhere in India, because it is not possible to make that claim honestly. It is your responsibility to check the law in your own state before you ask for an ID, and to stop using the service if that law changes. Our plain-English guide to the legal position goes through each of the laws above in more detail, and the disclaimer sets out the limits of what this site is responsible for. Tax on winnings is a separate matter governed by the Income-tax Act; keep your own records.

Play responsibly

Cricket betting is a form of gambling and most people who bet lose money over time. If you choose to use a Reddy Book ID, please keep to these rules.

  • You must be 18 or over.
  • Set a monthly budget before you deposit and never exceed it. Treat the money as spent the moment it is deposited.
  • Never borrow, use a credit card, take a loan or use household money to bet. Never bet to recover a loss.
  • Set a time limit for each match as well as a money limit, and stop at either.
  • Do not bet when you are tired, drinking or upset about something else.
  • If betting is causing stress, arguments, debt or secrecy, ask support for self-exclusion. Your ID will be closed and you will not be offered a new one. You can also ask for a deposit limit at any time.
  • Never share your login details with anyone, including people who claim to be from Reddy Book. Official support never asks for your password.
  • Talk to someone you trust if you are worried about your betting. Help lines for gambling-related distress exist in several Indian states and most large hospitals have counselling services.

Cricket betting on Reddy Book: frequently asked questions

How do I play session in cricket betting?

Open the Fancy or Session tab on a live match, pick a line such as 6-over runs 52 / 54, and choose Yes if you expect the total to reach 54 or more, or No if you expect it to stay at 51 or fewer. Enter your stake, check the rate beneath the number, and confirm. The bet settles automatically when the sixth over ends. Practise on a demo ID before using real money.

What is a fancy market in cricket betting?

Fancy is the exchange name for the in-play number markets on a cricket match: runs in a set number of overs, player runs, fall of wicket, partnership runs, boundary counts, odd or even totals and the full-innings lambi line. Each is shown as a No number and a Yes number with a payout rate. Fancy markets are priced ball by ball and suspend frequently while the ball is live.

What is dead heat in cricket betting?

A dead heat is when two or more selections tie for first in a market such as top batter or top bowler. Your stake is divided by the number of tied selections and the divided portion is paid at full odds while the rest is lost. A ₹100 back at 4.00 in a two-way dead heat returns ₹200 on ₹50, so you finish ₹100 up rather than ₹300.

What happens if the match is abandoned?

Match odds and most unsettled markets are voided and stakes are returned to your balance. The toss market stands because the toss took place. Session markets that had already reached their checkpoint before the abandonment are settled on the actual figure; those that had not are void. Refunds appear after the official no-result is declared, usually within a few hours. Ask support if a void stake has not shown up by then.

Can I cash out a cricket bet on Reddy Book?

There is no single cash-out button, but you can achieve the same effect by placing the opposite bet. Back a team at 2.00 and later lay it at 1.50 and you lock in a profit regardless of the result. On sessions, bet Yes at one line and No at a higher line to create a profitable middle. This only works while the market is open and has enough liquidity to match your second bet.

What is match odds in cricket betting?

Match odds is the market on which team wins. In limited-overs games it has two selections and in Tests it has three, including the draw. You can back a team to win or lay it to lose at decimal odds set by other users on the exchange. It opens days before the game, trades through every ball, and settles on the official result, including results decided by DLS or a super over.

What is the difference between match odds and the bookmaker market?

Both cover the match winner. Match odds is a pure exchange market with decimal odds and a queue of back and lay prices that need to be matched. The bookmaker market uses the Indian lagai and khai rate style, accepts bets instantly at the displayed rate, and is managed by the operator rather than purely by other users. Many Indian punters prefer the bookmaker layout because it resembles a local book.

What does lagai and khai mean?

Lagai is the Indian term for a back bet and khai for a lay bet. The rate is quoted as a figure such as 85, meaning you win 85 paise per rupee staked on a lagai, or you pay 85 paise per rupee if you take the khai and the team wins. To convert, subtract one from the decimal odds: 1.85 decimal equals 85 lagai and 2.20 decimal equals 120 lagai.

How does toss betting work?

Toss betting is a pre-match market on which captain wins the coin toss, usually priced close to even money on both sides. It suspends when the coin goes up and settles seconds later. Because a toss is a pure chance event there is no information edge to be found, so it is best treated as a small entertainment bet or skipped. If the match is abandoned after the toss, the toss market still stands.

What happens to a session bet if the team is all out early?

If a side is bowled out before the session over is reached, the session normally settles on the final total. A 20-over line with the team all out for 88 in 16.3 overs settles at 88, so Yes at 120 loses and No at 118 wins. This is different from a rain-shortened innings, where the session is usually void. Always read the all-out rule on the exchange's rules page before betting on long sessions.

How does DLS affect my cricket bets?

DLS only changes who wins the match; it does not create a separate market. Match odds settle on the team the DLS method declares the winner. Session totals already reached before the interruption are settled on actual runs. Innings-runs and session lines for overs that were never bowled are typically void, and if overs are reduced before the innings starts, traders usually re-open those lines at new numbers for the shorter innings.

What is liability in exchange betting?

Liability is the most you can lose on a bet. For a back bet it equals your stake. For a lay bet it equals your stake multiplied by the odds minus one, because you are paying the backer's winnings if the selection wins. Laying at 4.00 for ₹100 carries a liability of ₹300. The exchange holds this amount from your available balance until the market settles and releases it afterwards.

Why was my session bet rejected or not matched?

Fancy bets are rejected when the market suspends in the moment between your tap and the server, which happens around every delivery, wicket and review. Exchange bets on match odds are not matched when nobody is offering your price; they wait in the queue as unmatched until you cancel them or the market closes. Check the My Bets screen after every bet. A rejected or unmatched bet never deducts anything from your balance.

How do I get an IPL betting ID on Reddy Book?

Message the official WhatsApp support, say you want a cricket betting ID, confirm you are 18 or over, and the agent creates the ID and shares a login, password and the current site link. Change the password, ask for deposit details in writing, transfer, send proof, and the balance is credited once confirmed. The same ID covers IPL, internationals, domestic matches and every other sport and casino section on the exchange.

Can I get a demo ID to practise session betting?

Yes. Ask the agent for a demo or trial ID and you will receive a login with a notional balance that cannot be withdrawn. It opens the same interface, so you can practise reading Yes and No lines, placing lay bets to see how liability is held, and watching markets suspend during a live over. Spend at least one full T20 on the demo before depositing. Some thin markets may not display on demo accounts.

How long does settlement take after a match?

Session markets settle within seconds to a few minutes of the over or event completing. Match odds and bookmaker markets settle shortly after the official result, usually within minutes of the presentation. Delays happen if there is a scoring correction, a review of the result or a DLS calculation to confirm. Once settled, profit is added to your balance immediately and can be withdrawn through the WhatsApp channel at any time of day.

Does my cricket betting ID work for other sports and casino games?

Yes. A Reddy Book ID is a single exchange login. The same ID and balance give you football, tennis and horse racing markets, explained in the sports ID guide, as well as the live casino tables. You do not need separate IDs for different sports, though partner exchanges such as 11xplay, Cricbet99 and Laser247 each require their own ID if you want their interface.

Is cricket betting on Reddy Anna legal in India?

It depends on your state. Gambling is a State subject, several states restrict online real-money games, and the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 prohibits online money games and their advertising at the central level. We do not claim the service is legal everywhere in India. Check the law where you live before asking for an ID, be 18 or over, and read our dedicated legal guide for the detail.
