Sports Betting at Reddybook: A Quick Introduction
Sports betting involves predicting the outcome of sporting events and placing a wager on that prediction. At Reddybook, we offer a vast array of sports, leagues, and betting markets, allowing you to back your favourite teams or athletes. It’s an exciting way to add an extra layer of engagement to every match, where your knowledge and intuition can truly pay off!
Key Sports Betting Terms You Need to Know
Understanding the lingo is your first step to mastering sports betting:
Odds: Numbers that indicate the likelihood of an outcome and how much you can win.
Stake: The amount of money you wager on a bet.
Payout: The total amount you receive if your bet wins (stake + winnings).
Market: The specific event or outcome you are betting on (e.g., “Match Winner,” “Total Goals”).
Bet Slip: A virtual ticket that records your selections and potential payout.
Odds On/Odds Against: Odds that indicate a highly likely outcome (odds on) vs. a less likely one (odds against).
Void Bet: A bet that is declared null and void, with the stake returned to the player.
Cash Out: An option to settle your bet before the event finishes, locking in a profit or cutting losses.
Understanding Betting Odds: Your Path to Smart Bets
Odds provide two key insights: the likelihood of an event and your potential winnings. At Reddybook, we focus on Decimal Odds, the most popular format in India and Asia. These are simple to understand and show your total return (including stake) for every ₹1 wagered.
Example: Betting ₹100 at odds of 2.50 gives a payout of ₹250 (₹100 x 2.50), with a ₹150 profit.
Higher Decimal = Higher Risk/Reward: Bigger decimals mean less likely outcomes but higher payouts.
We also offer customisation to view odds in Fractional and American formats for those who prefer them, but Decimal remains the primary focus for our Indian audience.
Common Types of Sports Bets Explained
Reddybook offers a wide array of betting markets. Here are the most common types you’ll encounter:
Match Winner
This is the simplest bet: you predict which team or player will win the match. In games that can end in a draw (like football), you might have three options: Team A to win, Team B to win, or Draw.
Example:
India to Win vs. Australia @ 1.80
Australia to Win vs. India @ 2.05
Draw @ 3.50
Over/Under
You bet whether the total score (e.g., total runs in cricket, total goals in football) will be over or under a specific number set by the bookmaker.
Example (Football): Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.90 / Under 2.5 @ 1.90. You bet whether there will be 3 or more goals, or 2 or fewer.
Handicap Betting
This levels the playing field when one team is a strong favourite. The favourite starts with a “handicap” (e.g., -1.5 goals), meaning they must win by more than that margin for your bet to succeed. The underdog gets a “head start” (e.g., +1.5 goals).
Example (Cricket):
India -1.5 Runs @ 1.90 (India must win by 2 runs or more)
Australia +1.5 Runs @ 1.90 (Australia must win or lose by 1 run)
Accumulator/Parlay Bets
Combine multiple selections (2 or more) into a single bet. For your accumulator to win, every single selection must be correct. The odds multiply, leading to much higher potential payouts, but also higher risk.
Example: Team A to Win + Over 2.5 Goals in another match + Player X to Score First.
Live Betting
Place bets on matches that are already underway! Odds change dynamically as the game progresses, offering constant new opportunities. This is where quick thinking and sharp observation truly shine!
Example: Next Team to Score, Next Player to get a Boundary, Total Overs in the current partnership.

Essential Tips for Smart Sports Betting
Betting on sports is exciting, but doing it smartly is key to long-term enjoyment.
Research is Key: Don’t just bet on a whim. Research team forms, player injuries, head-to-head records, and recent performance.
Understand Value: Look for odds that you believe are higher than the true probability of an event. This is where “value betting” comes in.
Manage Your Bankroll: Set a budget for your betting activities and stick to it. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Start Small: Especially as a beginner, start with smaller stakes until you get a feel for the markets and how odds move.
Don’t Chase Losses: If you have a losing streak, avoid the temptation to bet more to recover your losses. Take a break.
Consider Responsible Gaming: Use Reddybook’s responsible gaming tools (deposit limits, loss limits) to maintain control.
Diversify Your Bets: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Explore different sports and bet types.
