How ball-by-ball betting works on KhelKing

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

Speed. The same four slips come up again and again.

• No stream, or one running eight seconds late, so the six has already happened.
• A double tap after a freeze, leaving two stakes in the history.
• The wrong batter or the wrong over picked from the market name.
• Assuming a suspension means a bet was taken. Wait for the market to reopen, or walk away.

The live match betting guide covers in-play betting generally. Ball-by-ball is its most aggressive form, so keep stakes smaller than on match odds; you can 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, when the batter can't be out in most ways. Some short markets count the extra delivery and some don't, so the wording matters.

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 If your stream is late, every price you see is already out of date.

Set the rules before the over starts, because there's no time to think once it does.

1. 1

   Step 01

   Set a total budget for the over or the innings, not just a stake per ball.

2. 2

   Step 02

   Use one flat stake, and never raise it to win back the last ball.

3. 3

   Step 03

   Set a time limit. Thirty quick bets add up faster than one match odds bet.

4. 4

   Step 04

   Stop after two suspensions in a row catch you mid-tap, because your feed is too slow.

Many small bets give the market's margin many chances to work against you. Treat ball-by-ball as the most expensive way to bet, never the quickest way to recover.
