The short answer

On a betting exchange, you bet against other players rather than against a bookmaker. You can back an outcome to happen or lay it not to happen, and prices come from what players are offering. Goexch is a back and lay exchange, and this page maps the main markets across cricket and other sports.

AI overview

Key takeaways

  1. It's one outcome on a fixture, such as match odds or a session score, with back prices on one side and lay prices on the other.
  2. Match odds, settled on the official result.
  3. Football has 1X2, over/under goals, both teams to score, Asian handicap and correct score.
  4. Match the market name on the slip to the bet you meant.

What is a betting exchange market?

It's one outcome on a fixture, such as match odds or a session score, with back prices on one side and lay prices on the other. When you back, someone else is laying, and the other way round. Your bet is matched when someone takes the other side at your price.

Which cricket exchange markets are there?

  • Match odds, settled on the official result.
  • The toss, settled when the coin lands.
  • Innings and powerplay runs, with their own rules on extras.
  • Session markets, read as No and Yes lines, mostly live.
  • Player runs or wickets, once the XI is announced.

The cricket markets guide covers these in full. This page answers the wider search from people who type exchange markets when they mean any of them.

What markets are there for other sports?

Football has 1X2, over/under goals, both teams to score, Asian handicap and correct score. Tennis has match winner, set betting, total games and game handicaps. Kabaddi has match result, handicap, total points, top raider and top defender. All sit on the same Goexch ID and Wallet.

How do you read a market before staking?

  • Match the market name on the slip to the bet you meant.
  • Check whether it's pre-match or live before comparing with an earlier price.
  • Check whether you're tapping the back or the lay column.
  • When you lay, check your liability, which is what you pay if the outcome happens.
  • Check My Bets to see whether your stake was fully matched.

This page doesn't publish prices or predictions for any fixture. The price at which your bet matches is the one that counts.

How is an exchange different from a bookmaker?

A bookmaker sets prices and you can only back. On an exchange you can back or lay, and prices come from other players.

Do exchange markets guarantee a payout?

No. Each market settles on the official result under its own rule. A voided market returns your stake.

Can I bet on exchange markets live?

Yes. Markets go in-play once the match starts. Watch a stream for the best timing.

What does an unmatched bet mean?

Nobody has taken the other side at your price yet. You can wait or cancel it, and the stake returns to your Wallet.
