What is Session & Fancy Betting?
Session betting (commonly referred to as Fancy Bets) allows cricket enthusiasts to wager on specific score benchmarks at designated stages of a match rather than predicting the ultimate winner. Common session lines on FairPlay include:
- 6-Over Powerplay Total Runs (YES / NO)
- 10-Over Mid-Innings Marker (YES / NO)
- 15-Over Total Runs (YES / NO)
- 20-Over Full Innings Total (YES / NO)
Operating under Curaçao eGaming License No. 365/JAZ, FairPlay presents session markets with real-time odds liquidity, allowing rapid order entry during over breaks.
How Session Odds Are Priced (YES / NO Markets)
Session markets display a run line accompanied by Back and Lay odds. For example:
- Session Target: 10-Over Innings Runs = 84 / 85
- Taking YES (Backing Over 85): You win if the team scores 85 runs or more by over 10.
- Taking NO (Laying Under 84): You win if the team scores 84 runs or fewer by over 10.
Advanced Session Trading Tactics
- The Strategic Timeout Swing: T20 matches feature mandatory strategic timeouts at overs 8 and 13. Teams frequently restructure their scoring tactics after these breaks. If a team lost early wickets and consolidated slowly, taking the ‘Over’ line immediately after a strategic timeout frequently catches market lines before acceleration begins.
- Hedging Middle vs. Death Sessions: If you backed ‘YES’ on the 6-over powerplay and cleared the benchmark early, re-invest profits by laying inflated 20-over totals if the pitch exhibits wearing turn.
