How to place your first bet, which sports and markets are available, how odds work, and the smart habits that help you get more out of every wagering session.
Betting is a simple concept at its core — you predict an outcome, you place a wager on it, and if you are right, you win money based on the odds at the time you placed the bet. What makes this platform stand out is how much choice you have in what you bet on and how.
Reddybook Pro offers two main styles of betting. The first is standard betting, sometimes called fixed-odds betting, where you pick an outcome and are paid at the odds shown when you confirm your bet. The second is exchange betting — a more sophisticated style where you are essentially betting against other users rather than against the house. We cover both in more detail below.
Most Indian users start with cricket because it is the sport they know best — and knowing your sport is genuinely one of the biggest advantages you can have when betting. Over time, many users expand into football, kabaddi, and other sports as they become more comfortable with how markets work.
One important thing to understand from the start: betting should be approached as entertainment, not as a guaranteed income strategy. Setting a fixed budget, understanding the markets you are betting on, and making decisions based on knowledge rather than emotion are the three habits that separate users who enjoy the experience long-term from those who do not.
The most popular betting category on the platform by far. Coverage includes IPL, international T20s, ODIs, Test matches, and domestic tournaments. Markets are the deepest here — you can bet on almost any aspect of the match.
International leagues and tournaments covered including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, ISL, and FIFA events. Live football betting is available with fast-updating odds throughout every match.
Pro Kabaddi League and other major kabaddi competitions are fully covered. A growing betting category with loyal users who know the sport deeply and use that knowledge as a real advantage.
Grand Slams, ATP, and WTA tournaments with live set-by-set and game-by-game betting. Tennis is particularly suited to live betting because the momentum of a match can shift dramatically within a single set.
Decimal odds show how much you win for every ₹1 you bet, including your stake back. If you bet ₹1,000 at odds of 1.90 and win, you receive ₹1,900 total — ₹900 profit plus your ₹1,000 stake. Odds below 2.0 mean the outcome is considered more likely. Odds above 2.0 suggest the outcome is less likely but pays more if it happens.
In the exchange section, you may see American-style odds. Positive numbers (like +100) show how much you win on a ₹100 bet. Negative numbers (like -110) show how much you need to bet to win ₹100. This format is more common in professional exchange markets and becomes intuitive once you use it a few times.
Fractional odds like 2/1 (read as "two to one") mean for every ₹1 you bet, you win ₹2 in profit — plus your stake returned. So a ₹1,000 bet at 2/1 returns ₹3,000 total (₹2,000 profit plus your ₹1,000 back). This format is traditional and sometimes appears on cricket or horse racing markets.
If you are just starting out, focus on decimal odds — they are the most intuitive and are the default format on the platform. You can usually toggle the odds format in your account settings if you have a personal preference. Understanding how to read odds correctly is the single most important piece of knowledge for any new bettor.
Open the app or site and sign in to your account. Make sure your wallet has funds available before you start.
Go to the Live or In-Play section. All ongoing matches are listed with real-time scores and current odds.
Open the match and browse markets. Hundreds of options update in real time based on what is happening on the field.
Select the outcome you want, enter your stake amount in the bet slip, and review the potential return before confirming.
Tap confirm. Your bet is placed instantly. Track it in "My Bets" in real time as the match continues.
One thing to know about live betting: odds move fast. Between the time you select an outcome and the time you confirm, the odds may have shifted. If that happens, you will be shown the new odds and asked whether to accept them or cancel. This is completely normal — it is how live markets work and is not an error.
Your knowledge of how a sport works, which teams are in form, and what conditions favour which players is a genuine edge. Do not waste it betting on sports you barely follow.
Decide how much you are willing to spend before you open the platform. Once that amount is used, stop. This is the single most effective habit for long-term responsible betting.
Live betting rewards people who are paying attention. If you can see the match while betting on it, you will make far better decisions than if you are going purely by numbers on a screen.
Placing a bigger bet to recover from a losing one is the most common mistake in betting. It almost always makes the situation worse. If you have hit your budget, close the app and come back fresh another day.
Exchange odds are often better than standard fixed-odds markets for popular events. Once you are comfortable with how they work, the exchange section can significantly improve your returns over time.
The platform regularly runs bonus offers tied to IPL, World Cups, and other major events. Depositing during an active promotion means you get more value from the same amount of money.
The minimum stake per bet is typically very low — often as little as ₹10 or ₹50 depending on the market. This makes the platform accessible even if you are starting with a small budget and want to test the water before committing larger amounts.
Generally, bets cannot be cancelled once confirmed — this is standard across all betting platforms. However, if the platform offers a cash-out feature on certain markets, you can settle your bet early before the match ends, either locking in a profit or limiting a loss depending on the current position.
If a match is officially abandoned, suspended, or cancelled before completion, bets are typically voided and your stake is returned to your account. The exact rules vary by market and sport — the platform's terms cover this in detail for each betting category.
Exchange markets are available for the major sports — cricket, football, and tennis in particular. Not every sport or match will have exchange markets available, as it depends on whether there is enough two-way activity to support the exchange model. The standard betting section covers all available sports.
Winnings from settled bets are credited to your account wallet instantly after the market is settled. Once the funds are in your wallet, you can either use them for more bets or initiate a withdrawal to your bank account, which is typically processed within a few hours.
Get your account, deposit funds, and start with a sport you know well. Live cricket, kabaddi, football — your first bet is just minutes away.
