How ball-by-ball betting works on Goexch

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

• They have no stream, or one running seconds late, so the six has already happened.
• They tap again after a freeze and end up with two stakes.
• They pick the wrong batter or over in the market name.
• They think a suspension means the bet was taken away. It reopens in seconds, or you can walk away.

The guide to how live betting works covers in-play generally. Ball-by-ball is its most intense form, so keep stakes smaller than on match odds, because you could place 30 bets in an hour.

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, on which the batter can't be out in most ways. Some short markets count the extra delivery and some don't, so read the market's wording.

TV and app streams run several seconds behind the ground, and short markets reprice on what has actually happened. That's why they suspend as each ball is bowled. If your stream is late, every price you see is already out of date.

1. 01Set one budget for the over or innings, not just a stake per ball.
2. 02Use one flat stake and never raise it to win back the last ball.
3. 03Set a time limit, because many quick bets add up fast.
4. 04Stop after two suspensions in a row that caught you mid-tap. Your feed is too slow.

Every bet carries a cost, whether it's commission or the spread between prices, 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.
