How ball-by-ball betting works on Wazir Win

01What exactly are you betting on?

The market shows a line for this ball, this over or a short session. You place your stake and the ball is bowled. The market then settles or voids on the official scoring for that ball. Wides and no-balls follow that market's rules, which is why two 'runs this ball' markets can settle differently if you mix them.

02Why do people lose track?

People lose track when they have no stream, or one running seconds late, so the six has already happened, or when they double-tap after a freeze and stake twice. Others pick the wrong batter, over or side, or think a suspension means a bet was stolen instead of waiting for the market.

• They have no stream, or one running eight seconds late, so the six has already happened.
• They double-tap after a freeze, and their history shows two stakes.
• They pick the wrong batter, the wrong over or the wrong side (back instead of lay).
• They think a suspension means the bet was stolen. Wait for the market to reopen or walk away.

The guide to how live match betting works covers in-play generally. Ball-by-ball is its most aggressive form. Keep stakes smaller than on match winner, because you can place 30 bets in an hour.

03How do extras affect ball-by-ball markets?

A wide or no-ball adds a run and the ball is bowled again, so the 'next ball' can happen twice. In limited-overs cricket a no-ball also brings a free hit, where the batter can't be out in most ways. Some short markets count the extra delivery and some don't, so the wording matters.

04Why is streaming delay so costly here?

Television and app streams run several seconds behind the ground, and short markets are priced on what has actually happened. That's why markets suspend the moment a ball is bowled. If your stream is late, every price you see is already out of date, and you're betting against people who know more than you.

05How do you keep ball-by-ball stakes under control?

Keep ball-by-ball stakes under control by setting a total budget for the over or innings, using one flat stake and never raising it to win back the last ball. Set a time limit too, because thirty quick bets add up fast, and stop after two suspensions catch you mid-tap.

1. 1Set a total budget for the over or the innings, not just a stake per ball.
2. 2Use one flat stake, and never raise it to win back the last ball.
3. 3Set a time limit. Thirty quick bets in an hour add up faster than one match-winner bet.
4. 4Stop after two suspensions in a row catch you mid-tap. Your feed is too slow.

Every bet carries the market's margin, so many small bets cost more over time than a few considered ones. Treat ball-by-ball as the most expensive way to bet, not the quickest way to recover.
