1. Session Runs (Over Brackets)
The classic. Bookies set a line for runs in a bracket of overs — say 6-over powerplay at 52.5 — and you bet over or under. Session lines react to every ball, so bettors who read pitch behaviour early in an innings consistently find soft lines. This is the highest-liquidity fancy market on the exchange.
2. Individual Batsman Runs
A line on a named batsman's total runs. Value appears when reputation lags form: an out-of-form star keeps a high line worth attacking under, while an in-form domestic player gets underpriced. Check matchups — some batsmen have documented struggles against left-arm pace or wrist spin.
3. Fall Of Next Wicket
Predict the team score when the next wicket falls. This market rewards live watchers: a new bowler's first over, a batsman visibly struggling, or a pitch starting to turn are all information the line takes seconds to absorb — seconds in which you can act.
4. Partnership Runs
A line on the current partnership's total. Similar logic to fall-of-wicket but with both batsmen's form priced in. Most valuable in Test cricket, where partnerships have time to build and pitch deterioration is predictable by day.
5. Boundary & Six Counts
Total fours/sixes in an innings or match. Driven almost entirely by venue and weather: small grounds with fast outfields (think Chinnaswamy) blow past six-count lines that would be sane at larger venues.
Start with one market, log every bet, and expand only once you're beating it consistently. Get your WinBuzz cricket ID to access all five, and see our IPL 2026 tips for tournament-specific strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'fancy' mean in cricket betting?+
Fancy markets are side markets beyond the match winner — session runs, batsman runs, partnerships, boundary counts and other props priced live during the game.
Which fancy market is best for beginners?+
Session runs. Lines are transparent, liquidity is deep, and the skill (reading pitch and form) improves fastest with practice.
Are fancy markets available on all matches?+
Major matches (IPL, internationals, big T20 leagues) carry the fullest fancy menus; smaller domestic games have fewer markets.
