FairPlay Betting on Cricket, Football, Kabaddi & Esports in India

Fairplay: Sportsbook Overview

The FairPlay sportsbook brings together betting markets from domestic and international sporting events. Depending on the event, users may find markets before the match starts as well as additional options after live play begins.

Pre-match odds are available before an event, while in-play prices can change as the score, time, and match conditions develop. Selected markets may also provide exchange-style betting. Odds are generally displayed in decimal format, with alternative formats available through the relevant settings where supported.

The main sports available can include:

The available markets depend on the sport, competition, and individual fixture.

Cricket Betting: IPL, Tests and T20 Internationals

Cricket is one of the most prominent sections of the FairPlay sportsbook for Indian users. The catalogue can include domestic competitions, international series, major tournaments, T20 fixtures, ODIs, and Test matches.

Kabaddi has a strong following in India and is another sport covered by FairPlay. The Pro Kabaddi League is particularly relevant to Indian audiences, with markets available around team results, player performance, points, and handicaps.

More Sports on FairPlay

FairPlay online betting extends beyond cricket, football, and kabaddi. The sportsbook can include a broader selection of sports, with some available throughout the year and others becoming more prominent during specific competitions.

Tennis

Tennis markets can cover major events such as the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open, ATP tournaments, WTA competitions, and the Davis Cup.

Because tennis does not normally end in a draw, the basic match-winner market is straightforward to understand. Other available markets can include set handicaps, game totals, first-set results, and exact scores.

Tennis is also suitable for pre-match and live betting, with prices changing as individual sets and games develop.

Basketball

Basketball betting can cover competitions such as the NBA, EuroLeague, FIBA events, and NBA Playoffs.

Common markets include the overall game result, point spreads, total points, quarter results, and individual player statistics.

A point spread applies a virtual points advantage or disadvantage to a team before calculating the betting result. Total markets instead focus on the combined score produced by both sides.

E-sports

E-sports markets can include competitive titles such as CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, and BGMI.

BGMI has particular interest among Indian esports followers. Unlike traditional sports, esports markets can be strongly affected by roster changes, team form, tournament formats, and game-patch updates.

FairPlay online betting markets for esports can include:

• Match winner
• Map winner
• Total maps
• First blood
• Tournament winner

Because competitive gaming can change quickly, odds may move significantly around team announcements and major game updates.

Horse Racing

Horse racing coverage can include Indian and international events. Indian examples can include the Royal Western India Turf Club, Bangalore Turf Club, Madras Race Club, and Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai.

International racing can include events such as Royal Ascot, Cheltenham, the Kentucky Derby, and the Dubai World Cup.

Depending on the event, users may encounter early prices or starting-price markets. Early odds are available before the race, while starting price represents the applicable final market price at race time.

The main horse-racing bets include:

• Win bet. The selected horse must finish first.
• Place bet. The selected horse must finish within the qualifying places under the market rules.
• Each way. Combines a win selection with a place selection.
• Exacta. Select the first two finishers in their exact finishing order.
• Trifecta. Predict the horses finishing first, second, and third in the correct order.

Greyhound Racing

Greyhound betting can cover actual races and, where offered, virtual events. Live races involve real greyhounds, while virtual races use computer-generated or RNG-based outcomes.

A form guide can contain information such as previous results, trap numbers, and distance records. Trap numbers indicate the starting positions assigned to the greyhounds.

Available markets may include:

• Win. Select the greyhound expected to finish first.
• Place. Choose a greyhound to finish within the qualifying positions.
• Forecast. Predict the top two finishers in the correct order.
• Reverse forecast. Select the top two finishers without specifying their order.
• Combination. Cover multiple possible finishing positions within one selection structure.

Boxing and MMA

Combat sports coverage can include UFC, ONE Championship, Bellator, and major boxing events.

For Indian audiences, bouts involving Indian fighters can attract additional attention. Markets generally focus on the winner, method of victory, and the expected duration of the contest.

Common options include:

• Fighter to win
• Method of victory
• Round betting
• Distance betting

Method-of-victory markets can distinguish between KO/TKO, submission, or decision, depending on the sport and event.

Badminton

Badminton is another relevant category for Indian bettors because of the country's strong presence in the sport.

Markets can cover BWF World Tour events, Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, India Open, and other tournaments. Popular options include match winner, set result, and total games.

Live badminton betting can also change quickly because a short run of points can significantly alter the match situation.

Table Tennis

Table tennis provides frequent betting opportunities because professional competitions are played across different countries and time zones.

Markets can include match winner, set handicap, total sets, and point-based selections. ITTF events and professional leagues can provide regular fixtures for users looking for live markets.

American Football

American football betting is primarily associated with competitions such as the NFL. Coverage can include regular-season fixtures, playoffs, and the Super Bowl.

Popular markets include moneyline, point spread, total points, and player proposition bets.

Ice Hockey

Ice hockey markets can cover NHL fixtures and international competitions. The fast pace of the sport makes it another option for in-play betting.

Common markets include:

• Moneyline
• Puck line
• Total goals
• Period winner

A puck line works similarly to a handicap by assigning one side a virtual advantage or disadvantage.

Volleyball

FairPlay volleyball markets can cover international competitions, Olympic qualification fixtures, and domestic leagues. Beach volleyball may also be available for selected events.

Users can find markets such as match winner, set winner, total points, set handicaps, and other event-specific options.

Live Betting: In-Play Markets and Real-Time Odds

FairPlay live match betting allows users to access markets while an event is already underway. Instead of remaining fixed, live odds can change according to the current score, time, player performance, and other match developments.

For example, a wicket in cricket, a goal in football, or a significant scoring run in another sport can cause the available odds to change.

Users should understand that in-play markets can move quickly. A price visible a few seconds earlier may no longer be available when the selection is confirmed.

Live markets may include:

• Real-time odds based on the current event situation.
• Live trackers or statistics for selected matches.
• Streaming for certain events where broadcasting rights and account requirements permit.
• Cash-out on supported selections, subject to availability.

How to Place a Bet: Step-by-Step

Placing a FairPlay bet generally involves selecting a sport, finding an event, choosing a market, and confirming the wager through the bet slip.

Before confirming, users should review the selected outcome, odds, and stake because a confirmed bet generally cannot be edited.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the account. Enter the required FairPlay account credentials.
2. Navigate to the Sports tab. Open the sportsbook from the main navigation.
3. Select the desired sport. Choose cricket, football, kabaddi, tennis, or another available category.
4. Select the league or event. Find the competition and match you want to view.
5. Select a betting market. Choose the available odds corresponding to your prediction.
6. Confirm the selections. Review the bet slip and make sure the selected markets are correct.
7. Enter the stake amount. Add the amount you wish to wager in INR.
8. Confirm the potential winnings. Check the displayed return based on the selected odds and stake.
9. Confirm the bet. Submit the wager after checking the complete bet slip.

Types of Bets Explained

The FairPlay bookmaker can provide different betting formats across its sportsbook. Availability depends on the sport, competition, and individual event.

Beginners may find single bets easier to understand because they involve only one selection. Combination formats include multiple outcomes and therefore have different risk and return characteristics.

Single Bet

A single bet contains one selection. The wager wins when that particular outcome is successful under the rules of the market.

For example, if India is priced at 1.90 and a player places ₹500 on India to win, the total return would be ₹950 if the selection wins. This includes the original ₹500 stake, leaving ₹450 as profit.

Accumulator / Parlay

An accumulator, also called a parlay, combines several selections into one wager. Every selection generally needs to be successful for the accumulator to win.

For example, three cricket selections could be priced at 1.60, 1.75, and 1.90. Their combined odds are 5.32. With a ₹500 stake, the potential total return would be ₹2,660.

If any selection loses, the accumulator does not produce the stated winning return.

System Bet

A system bet uses several selections to create multiple combinations rather than relying on one complete accumulator.

This structure can allow some combinations to remain successful even when every individual selection does not win, depending on the system chosen. However, the total stake is distributed across the combinations, so users should understand the exact system rules and possible returns before confirming the wager.

How to Read Odds

Decimal odds represent the total return associated with a successful selection, including the original stake.

For example, a ₹1,000 wager at decimal odds of 2.50 would produce a total return of ₹2,500 if successful. After subtracting the ₹1,000 original stake, the profit would be ₹1,500.

Odds also provide an indication of the market's implied probability, although the bookmaker's margin means the displayed price should not be treated as a pure probability calculation.

Lower odds generally correspond to outcomes considered more likely by the market, while higher odds correspond to outcomes carrying greater uncertainty and a larger potential return.

The bookmaker margin is incorporated into market pricing. A lower margin can mean more favourable pricing relative to a higher-margin market, but users should compare the actual odds and terms available.

Cricket and IPL markets remain an important part of FairPlay online betting for Indian users.
