The short answer
Market types are what you see on a Wazir Win fixture page: match winner with back and lay prices, toss, totals, sessions, fancy and player markets where available. If a type is missing that day, it isn't being offered. Understanding back and lay is the key to all of them.
AI overview
Key takeaways
- Wazir Win cricket markets include match winner, toss, totals, sessions, fancy and player markets.
- Back means betting something happens, and lay means betting it doesn't.
- Match winner suits a view on the whole game, while sessions suit a view on conditions.
- If a market type is missing that day, it isn't being offered.
Which markets usually appear?
- Match winner, which settles on the official result, including DLS when it applies.
- Toss winner, which settles at the toss, not at the end of the match.
- Innings or match totals. Check the market rules on what counts.
- Session or over markets, which are live. Watch the stream first.
- Player runs or wickets, after the XI is announced and if the name is listed.
Tied matches, Super Overs and abandoned games follow each market's printed rules, and your history shows a void when a rule applies.
What do back and lay mean?
Backing is betting that something happens: a team wins, a total is reached. Laying is betting that it doesn't. When you back at 2.50 with ₹100, you win ₹150 if you're right. When you lay at 2.50 with ₹100, you win ₹100 if the team doesn't win but pay ₹150 if it does. That ₹150 is your liability, and the slip always shows it.
What do lagai and khai mean?
They're the Indian terms for the two sides of a match-winner market. Lagai means backing the favourite to win. Khai means betting against the favourite, which is the same idea as laying. When a rate is quoted as, say, 60-62, you lagai at one number and khai at the other, and the gap is the spread.
How do session and lambi markets differ?
A session market is a runs line for part of an innings, usually 6, 10 or 15 overs. A lambi market is the same idea for the whole innings. You bet No if you think the score stays at or below the lower number, or Yes if you think it reaches the higher one. Sessions settle when their overs are complete, so they can win or lose long before the match ends.
What are fancy and player markets?
Fancy is the catch-all name for shorter live markets: runs in an over, the fall of the next wicket or a partnership total. Player markets cover one batter's runs or one bowler's wickets. Both depend on exact wording, such as whether a retired-hurt batter's runs count, so the printed rule matters more than the headline.
Which market suits which approach?
- Match winner suits a view on the whole game, and it moves more slowly.
- Sessions suit a view on conditions, such as a slow pitch or early swing.
- Fancy and ball-by-ball suit only players watching a reliable live stream.
- Player markets suit a clear view on one role, after the XI is announced.

Questions players ask
Straight answers to the questions that come up most on this topic.
Still unsure? Ask the Wazir Win team
Is casino a cricket market?
No. It's a separate lobby on the same ID.
Is Dream11 a market type?
No. Wazir Win doesn't run fantasy teams.
What is lay liability?
The amount you pay out if the outcome you laid happens. It equals your stake times the price minus one, and the slip shows it before you confirm.
Are the market types the same for WPL and IPL?
Yes, though WPL markets often have less money on each side.
What is a lambi market in cricket?
A runs line for a full innings, as opposed to a session that covers part of it.
What do lagai and khai mean?
Lagai means backing the favourite, and khai means betting against it, like laying.
