What is session (lambi) betting?
Session betting, often called lambi or over betting, is a wager on how many runs a team scores in a specific block of overs — for example, runs in overs 6 to 10. You bet on whether the total will be over or under a stated line.
It's popular because it settles quickly and doesn't depend on which team wins, only on how a short passage of play unfolds.
What is fancy betting?
Fancy markets cover player-level and statistical outcomes: a batsman's individual score, a bowler's wickets, the number of sixes in an innings, or the total runs scored. Fancies are usually offered with a spread, and your profit or loss scales with how far the result misses the line.
How session and fancy bets settle
Both markets settle based on the official scorecard. If a session is rained off before the overs are bowled, the market may be void and your stake returned. Always check the session rules before staking, and remember that odds move fast — the line you see at the moment of your bet is the line that counts.
Tips for beginners
If you're new to session betting, start small and focus on reading the game.
- Begin with small stakes while you learn how lines move.
- Watch pitch conditions, dew and powerplay trends.
- Avoid betting on every session — pick your spots.
- Set a per-session loss limit and stop when you hit it.
