IPL Session Betting: What Makes IPL Sessions Different
How the Impact Player rule, powerplay fields, venues, evening dew and pressure games change IPL session lines, plus a simple session plan for one match.

This is the layout you will see after logging in: sports on the left, markets in the middle. Here is what each type of market actually pays for.
🏏 CRICKET — MARKET GUIDE
| Market | What you are betting on | How the price is shown |
|---|---|---|
| Before and during the match | ||
| Match Odds | Which team wins. You can back a team to win or lay it to lose. | Decimal odds, e.g. 1.80. Blue = back, pink = lay. |
| Bookmaker | Also the match result, but at a fixed rate set by the panel rather than by other players. | Indian rate, e.g. 45 means ₹100 wins ₹45. |
| Toss | Which captain wins the toss. Closes before the coin goes up. | Usually close to even money. |
| Session (fancy) markets | ||
| Over runs | Runs in a set block of overs, such as the first six. YES if you think the team gets there, NO if you think it falls short. | Two numbers, e.g. NO 47 / YES 48. |
| Player runs | Whether a named batter passes a run line. | Same YES / NO format. |
| Fall of wicket | The team score when the next wicket falls. | Same YES / NO format. |
Prices on the real panel move ball by ball. We do not show live odds here because a copied number is out of date within seconds.
Who We Are, and What We Are Not
Reddybook is an online betting exchange used mostly by cricket fans in India. Like other exchanges, it does not sign players up directly. Accounts, called IDs, are opened through agents who handle the account, the payments and the support. Reddybook Club is one of those agents.
That matters because it tells you who to hold responsible. The exchange runs the odds, the games and the settlement of bets. We run everything around your account: opening it, sending you the right login link, putting money in and taking it out, and sorting out problems. When something goes wrong, you message us, and a person answers.
We are not the operator, and we will not pretend to be. You will find several sites calling themselves the "official" Reddybook. Exchange panels sit on many domains at once and change them often, so treat any site that claims to be the only real one with some suspicion, ours included. What you should judge an agent on is simpler: do they answer, do they pay out, and do they ever ask for things they should not.

Getting a Reddybook ID — What Actually Happens
Most people have their login within a few minutes. Here is each step, including what we will and will not ask you for.
Message us on WhatsApp
Tap the WhatsApp button and say you want a new ID. Tell us the username you would like. If it is taken, we will suggest something close.
Receive your login
We send your user ID, a temporary password and the current panel link. Log in once and change the password straight away. Nobody, including us, should know your password after that.
Add funds when you are ready
Ask us for deposit details, pay by UPI or bank transfer, and send the payment screenshot with the reference number. The balance shows on your panel once it is confirmed.
We will never ask for: your OTP, UPI PIN, card number, CVV or net-banking password. Payments always go from your app to our account, never the other way round. If someone using our name asks for any of these, it is not us. Screenshot the chat and send it to our support number.
For the full walkthrough with screenshots, see the Reddybook sign up guide. If you already have an ID from another agent, we can help you with that too. Just message us.
Reddybook Login: The Three Problems We Hear Most
Login trouble is the most common reason people message us, and it almost always comes down to one of three things.
1. The link stopped working
Panels change domains when an address gets blocked by an internet provider or slows down under heavy traffic. Your ID and balance are not affected. The fix is to ask us for the current link, not to search for one. Search results and social media are full of look-alike login pages built to collect usernames and passwords.
2. "Invalid username or password"
Passwords are case-sensitive, and phone keyboards like to capitalise the first letter. Type it slowly and check. If it still fails after a few tries, stop. Repeated failures can lock the account. Message us and we can reset it.
3. The page loads but nothing works
This is usually the browser. Clear the cache, or open the link in Chrome instead of the in-app browser that WhatsApp or Instagram uses. On slow mobile data, live markets can take a few seconds to load during big matches.
Step-by-step fixes, including password changes and what to do if you think someone else has logged in, are on the Reddybook login page.
Back and Lay, Explained With Real Numbers
Reddybook is an exchange, which means you can bet against an outcome as well as for it. This is where most new players get caught out, so here is a worked example.
Backing India at 1.80
Stake ₹1,000. If India win, you get back ₹1,800: your ₹1,000 plus ₹800 profit. If India lose, you lose the ₹1,000. Your risk is the amount you staked.
Laying India at 1.82
You accept a ₹1,000 bet from someone backing India. If India lose, you win ₹1,000. If India win, you pay out ₹820, which is ₹1,000 × (1.82 − 1). Your risk is that ₹820, called the liability.
The small gap between 1.80 and 1.82 is normal. It is the spread between what backers want and what layers will offer. On busy matches it is narrow. On quiet ones it can be wide, and that is a sign to be careful.
The rule that saves the most money: before you confirm a lay bet, look at the liability figure on the bet slip, not the stake. At high odds the liability can be many times your stake. A lay at 6.0 on a ₹1,000 stake risks ₹5,000.
Session markets work differently. Instead of odds you see two run numbers, NO and YES. The gap between them is the margin, and the payout rate is shown underneath. Our cricket betting guide walks through sessions over by over, and the in-play page covers betting while the match is live.
Deposits and Withdrawals
All money moves through your agent, which here means us. To deposit, ask for payment details on WhatsApp, pay from your own UPI app or bank, and send the screenshot with the UTR or reference number. Payment details can change, so ask each time rather than reusing an old one.
To withdraw, place the request on your panel and message us. We send the money to a bank account or UPI ID in your name. We do not pay out to third parties, because that is how most payment disputes start.
Two habits that prevent nearly every problem: make your first deposit a small one to check the process end to end, and keep every reference number until the money has landed.
What You Can Play
One ID covers the whole panel:
- Cricket: internationals, IPL, T20 leagues and domestic matches, with match odds, bookmaker and session markets
- Football, tennis, kabaddi and horse racing
- Indian casino games such as Teen Patti, Andar Bahar and Dragon Tiger
- Live dealer tables: roulette, baccarat and blackjack
What is on offer on any given day depends on the fixtures. Cricket has by far the most markets.
Setting a Budget That Actually Holds
Almost everyone who gets into trouble with betting had a budget in their head. What they lacked was one written down, one that did not change in the middle of a match. Here is the simple system we suggest to customers who ask.
1. Decide the monthly amount first
Pick a figure you could lose in full without it touching rent, bills, savings or anything you owe. Treat it the way you would treat money spent on a cinema ticket or a night out. It is gone once you deposit it. If your finances are tight this month, the right figure is zero.
2. Bet in small, fixed units
Divide that amount into units of about 2–5% each, and bet one unit at a time. With ₹5,000 for the month, that is roughly ₹100–₹250 per bet. A bad evening then costs a few units, not the whole month. For lay bets, count the liability as your unit, not the stake.
3. Stick to markets with enough money in them
Big international matches and IPL games have plenty of money at every price, so your bets match quickly and the spread is tight. Small domestic games and late-night tennis can have wide gaps between back and lay prices, and your bet may sit unmatched. If you do not understand a market, or there is little money in it, leave it alone.
4. Keep a short record
Note each bet's market, stake, odds and result, or simply export the profit and loss report each week. After a month you will see which markets you do well or badly in, and whether you are betting more than you planned. Most people who keep a record end up betting less. That usually means it is working.
5. Have a stop rule for the day
Choose a loss limit for each day, such as three units, and close the panel when you reach it, whatever is happening in the match. Also choose a time to stop. Late-night sessions after a losing day are where the biggest regrets come from. If you want a hard limit you cannot override, ask us to pause your account for a set period. We will do it.
Before You Play: An Honest Checklist
- Check the law where you live. India's Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 restricts real-money online games, and states such as Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have their own rules. It is your responsibility to know what applies to you.
- 18 or older only. We close any account we believe belongs to a minor.
- Set a limit before the match starts, not during it. Decide what you can afford to lose and stick to it. Chasing losses in live markets is the fastest way to lose more.
- Treat betting as paid entertainment, not income. Over time the margin built into every market works against the player.
- Watch for agent red flags: asking for OTPs, promising "fixed" matches or guaranteed wins, pressure to deposit more before you can withdraw, or payment to a different person each time.
If betting stops being fun, take a break. Our responsible gaming page explains how to pause or close your account, and we will do it the same day you ask.
A Tour of the Panel After You Log In
The first screen after login can look busy. Every exchange panel built on this kind of software follows roughly the same layout, so once you know where things are, you will find your way around any of them. Here is what each part does, from the top of the screen down.
The top bar: balance and exposure
Two numbers sit at the top of every page. Balance is the money in your account that is not tied up in bets. Exposure is the most you could lose on the bets you have open right now. It is shown as a negative figure, and it is subtracted from what you can bet with. If your balance is ₹5,000 and your exposure is −₹1,200, you have ₹3,800 available for new bets. We explain exposure properly in the next section, because it is the number new players most often misread.
The sports menu
On a computer the list of sports runs down the left side. On a phone it usually sits behind a menu icon or as a row of icons across the top. Cricket is normally first and has the most matches. In-play shows only events that are live at this moment. Tapping a sport opens the list of matches, grouped by competition.
The market view
Open a match and you will see the markets stacked one under another: Match Odds first, then Bookmaker, then the session (fancy) markets once the match is close or underway. Each market has blue boxes for back and pink boxes for lay. The large number in each box is the price. The small number underneath is how much money is waiting at that price. If you want to bet more than that amount, part of your bet may stay unmatched.
The bet slip and stake buttons
Tap a price and the bet slip opens with the odds already filled in. You type a stake or tap one of the preset stake buttons. Those presets can be changed in your settings, and it is worth doing on day one. Set them to amounts you would actually bet, so a mistaken tap cannot place a bet ten times larger than you meant. Before you press Place Bet, the slip shows your potential profit and, for lay bets, your liability.
Open bets, matched and unmatched
A bet is matched when another player has taken the other side at your price. An unmatched bet is still waiting. You can cancel an unmatched bet at any time. A matched bet stands until the market settles. The Open Bets panel lists both kinds, and it is the first place to look if you are not sure whether a bet went through.
Account statement and profit & loss
The account statement lists every deposit, withdrawal and settled bet with a running balance. The profit and loss report groups results by sport and date. Check both regularly. They are the honest record of how your betting is actually going, which is often different from how it feels.
Rules
Every market has a rules link, sometimes shown as a small "i". It says how that market settles if the match is shortened, tied or abandoned. Read it once for each market type you use. Most disputes we see come from a rule the player never opened.
Exposure: The Number Most New Players Ignore
Exposure is the panel working out your worst case across all your open bets in a market and setting that amount aside, so you can never owe more than you have. It is a safety feature, but it confuses people because the balance seems to shrink before anything has been lost.
Take one match. You back Mumbai for ₹1,000 at 2.20, and later lay Mumbai for ₹500 at 2.00:
- If Mumbai win: the back bet pays +₹1,200 and the lay bet costs −₹500 (₹500 × (2.00 − 1)). Net: +₹700.
- If Mumbai lose: the back bet costs −₹1,000 and the lay bet wins +₹500. Net: −₹500.
Your exposure on this match is −₹500, the worse of the two outcomes. Not −₹1,000, because the lay bet partly covers the back bet. The panel shows these figures next to each team's name in the market, usually in green for a win and red for a loss. Get used to reading them before every bet. They tell you exactly where you stand on that match.
Exposure is calculated separately for each market. Session bets, the bookmaker market and match odds each carry their own exposure, and all of them add up in the top bar. If you have money spread across several live matches, the total can grow faster than you expect. When it does, stop placing new bets until some of them settle.
Locking In a Result: Hedging With Real Numbers
Because you can both back and lay on an exchange, you can close out a position before the match ends. Players call this hedging, or "booking" a profit or a loss. Some panels have a cash-out button that does the calculation for you. If yours does not, here is how to do it by hand.
The setup. Before the toss, you back Chennai for ₹1,000 at 2.00. Chennai start well, and their price drops to 1.50.
The calculation. To end up with the same result whichever team wins, lay Chennai for back stake × back odds ÷ current lay odds. That is 1,000 × 2.00 ÷ 1.50 = ₹1,333.
If Chennai win
Back bet: +₹1,000. Lay bet: −₹667 (₹1,333 × 0.50). Net +₹333.
If Chennai lose
Back bet: −₹1,000. Lay bet: +₹1,333. Net +₹333.
You have turned an open bet into a fixed ₹333 profit, whatever happens next. The same method works in reverse to limit a loss. If Chennai's price had drifted to 3.00, laying ₹667 would fix your loss at about ₹333 instead of risking the full ₹1,000.
Two cautions. First, prices move fast during live play, and the market is often suspended for a few seconds after each ball, so the price you calculated may be gone by the time you place the bet. Second, hedging does not make a bad bet good. It only lets you choose when to stop. Booking small profits early on every bet will not beat the market's built-in margin over time.
Session Markets, Over by Over
Session or "fancy" markets are where Indian cricket betting differs most from the rest of the world, and they are the markets our customers ask about most. Instead of backing a team, you bet on a number: runs in a block of overs, runs by a batter, or the score when the next wicket falls.
Reading the line
A typical session line for the first six overs might read NO 47 / YES 48, with a rate shown under each figure. Choose YES if you think the batting side will reach the higher number. Choose NO if you think it will stay under the lower one. The one-run gap between the two numbers is the margin. If the final score lands exactly in that gap, both sides can lose, so check the market rules on your panel for how that edge case is handled.
The rate
When both rates show 100, a winning ₹500 bet pays ₹500 and a losing one costs ₹500. When the line is uncertain, the panel may show unequal rates instead, such as 90 on one side and 110 on the other. Then a ₹500 bet on the 90 side wins ₹450, and a ₹500 bet on the 110 side wins ₹550. In both cases you still risk ₹500.
An example
Say you take YES 48 for ₹500 at rate 100 before the innings starts. If the team reaches 52 after six overs, you win ₹500. If it reaches 41, you lose ₹500. The line moves after every ball. After a boundary in the second over it might read NO 50 / YES 51, and after a wicket it might fall to NO 44 / YES 45.
Why sessions catch people out
Sessions settle quickly, often within twenty or thirty minutes, and there is always another one opening. That pace makes it easy to chase a loss with a bigger bet on the next line. They also react sharply to things you cannot see on a delayed stream, so the line may already have moved before you see the ball. If you bet on sessions, decide the number of sessions and the stake before the innings starts, and stop when you hit either limit.
How Bets Settle When Cricket Gets Messy
Rain, ties and abandoned matches cause more confusion than anything else on an exchange. The exact rules belong to each market and are written in its rules tab, but most panels follow the patterns below. Treat this as a guide to what to look for, not a guarantee.
- Rain and DLS: match odds usually settle on the official result, including a result decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. A rain-shortened game that still produces a winner settles normally.
- Session markets in a shortened match: a session that was completed before the interruption usually stands. One that can no longer be completed because overs were lost is usually voided, and the stakes are returned.
- Abandoned or no result: match odds bets are normally voided and returned when there is no official result.
- Ties and super overs: in limited-overs matches with a super over, match odds generally settle on whoever wins the super over, because that is the official winner. Session bets on the main innings are not affected by the super over.
- Test matches: the Match Odds market usually has three outcomes: either team or the draw. Laying a team in a Test is not the same as backing the other team, because a draw also beats your lay.
- Suspended markets: a market shows "Suspended" for a few seconds after every ball, during reviews and when anything unusual happens. No bets can be placed then. That is normal, not a fault.
- Voided bets: panels can void a bet placed at a clearly wrong price or after the event had already happened. If a bet disappears from your list, the statement will show it as voided, and the stake will be back in your balance.
If a settlement looks wrong to you, screenshot the bet from Open Bets or the statement and send it to us. We raise it with the panel and tell you what the rules say, in plain language.
Casino Games on the Panel: The Rules in Brief
The casino section uses the same balance as your sports betting. Most of the tables are live, with a real dealer on a video stream and a short countdown to place your bet before each round. Here is how the most popular games work, so you are not learning the rules with money on the table.
Teen Patti (one-day and 20-20 versions)
The live versions are simpler than a home game. Two hands, usually called Player A and Player B, get three cards each, and you bet on which hand will win. Hands rank from highest to lowest: trail (three of a kind), pure sequence (three cards in a row of the same suit), sequence, colour (three of the same suit), pair, then high card. There is no bluffing or raising. The cards decide.
Andar Bahar
One card, the joker, is placed face up in the middle. The dealer then deals cards alternately to two sides, Andar (inside) and Bahar (outside), until a card of the same rank as the joker appears. You bet on which side it lands. The side that receives the first card has a small head start, so the two sides usually pay slightly different amounts. Check the table's payout before you play.
Dragon Tiger
Two cards: one for Dragon, one for Tiger. The higher card wins, and aces are low. You can also bet on a tie, which pays much more but rarely happens. On most tables, a tie also costs Dragon and Tiger bets half their stake, so it is not a free outcome.
Roulette, baccarat and blackjack
The international live tables follow standard rules. Single-zero roulette carries a house edge of about 2.7% on every bet. In baccarat, the Banker bet wins slightly more often, which is why a commission, typically 5%, is taken from Banker wins.
All casino games have a built-in edge for the house. Unlike sports betting, there is no skill in reading form or conditions. Over enough rounds, the edge decides the result. Play casino games for fun with money set aside for it, and never to win back a cricket loss. More on each game is on our casino page.
Using Reddybook on Your Phone
Most of our customers bet only from a phone, and the panel works in any modern mobile browser. A few habits make it noticeably better:
- Open links in Chrome or Safari, not inside WhatsApp, Instagram or Telegram. Their built-in browsers often break the login, or log you out.
- Add the panel to your home screen from the browser menu. It then opens like an app, and you will not have to search for the link again. Update the shortcut when the link changes.
- Turn off data saver for the browser during live matches. It can delay price updates by several seconds.
- Lock your phone with a PIN. If you stay logged in, anyone who picks up your phone has your balance.
There are also app versions. Download them only from a link we send you, never from a random APK site. Our Reddybook app page covers installation and the permissions an app should and should not ask for.
Keeping Your Account and Money Safe
- Use a password you do not use anywhere else, and change it if you have ever sent it in a chat.
- Never post a screenshot that shows your user ID with your balance. It tells scammers whom to target.
- Save our support number in your contacts and check the number before you act on any message. Scammers copy agents' display names and profile photos.
- Pay only to the deposit details we give you in that conversation. If a "new account" arrives from a different number, confirm with us first.
- Withdraw winnings to your own bank or UPI account regularly instead of leaving large balances on the panel.
- If you think someone else has logged in, message us right away. We can change the password and check recent activity on the statement.
Mistakes We See New Players Make
These come from conversations with our customers. Almost everyone makes at least one of them in the first month.
- Laying at high odds without checking the liability. A ₹1,000 lay at 8.0 risks ₹7,000. The bet slip shows this number, so read it every time.
- Mixing up back and lay on a small screen. Blue is back, pink is lay. On a phone the boxes are close together, so check the colour on the slip before you confirm.
- Betting from a delayed stream. TV and free streams can run several seconds behind the real match. The market already knows what happened, and you do not.
- Chasing losses on the next session. Sessions open one after another, which makes it easy to double up after each loss. Decide your stake before the innings, not during it.
- Leaving unmatched bets open. An unmatched bet can get matched later, when the match has turned against it. Cancel anything you no longer want.
- Never reading the market rules. Most settlement disputes come down to a rule about rain, ties or retired batters that was there all along.
- Depositing a large amount first. Test the full cycle with a small deposit and a small withdrawal. Then you know how it works before more money is involved.
- Treating a winning week as proof of a system. Short runs of luck are normal. Look at your profit and loss report over a few months before you decide anything is working.
Reddybook Club — Frequently Asked Questions
Reddybook Club (reddybookclub.com.in) is an independent ID service. We open Reddybook IDs for players, share the current login link, and help with deposits, withdrawals and account problems over WhatsApp. We do not run the Reddybook exchange itself.
Message us on WhatsApp from the button on this page. We ask for a username you would like and a contact number, then send your user ID, a temporary password and the login link. Change the password the first time you log in. The full walkthrough is on our sign up page.
Exchange panels move between domains when a link is blocked or overloaded. Your ID and balance stay the same; only the address changes. Always ask us for the current link instead of searching for it, because fake copies of the login page are common. See our Reddybook login guide.
No. A genuine agent never needs your OTP, UPI PIN, card number or net-banking password. If anyone asks for one, stop and report it to us.
Request the withdrawal from your account, then share the request with us on WhatsApp. The money is sent to a bank account or UPI ID in your own name. Keep the reference number until it arrives.
It depends on where you live. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 restricts real-money online games, and several states have their own gambling laws. Check the rules that apply to you before you play. You must be 18 or older.
Back means you bet that something will happen. Lay means you bet that it will not, acting as the bookmaker for another player. When you lay, your risk is the stake multiplied by the odds minus one, so check that figure before you confirm.
Exposure is the most you can lose on the bets you have open. The panel sets that amount aside, so your available balance drops when you place a bet and comes back when the market settles in your favour or the bet is cancelled.
Markets pause for a few seconds after every ball, during reviews and when something unexpected happens on the field. You cannot place bets while a market is suspended. It reopens on its own.
On most panels, match odds settle on the official result, including DLS results, and are voided if there is no result. Completed sessions stand, while sessions that can no longer be finished are usually voided. The rules tab on each market has the exact wording.
You can cancel a bet while it is unmatched. Once another player has matched it, the bet stands. You can still reduce your risk by placing an opposite bet, which is known as hedging.
Yes. One ID has a single balance that works across sports, the Indian casino games and the live dealer tables.
