Tennis, Kabaddi & Horse Racing on Tigerexch

Three Sports, One Tigerexch ID

Your Tigerexch ID covers every sport on the menu with one login and one balance. You do not need a separate account for tennis or racing. The exchange works the same way across all three: back an outcome to happen, lay it to not happen, and see your profit and liability in the bet slip before you confirm. What changes from sport to sport is the shape of the market, how fast prices move and the settlement rules.

The quick comparison below is a useful starting point before we go through each sport in detail.

Tennis Markets Explained

Tennis is one of the busiest sports on exchanges because there are tournaments almost every week of the year across men's and women's tours, and many matches are played in Indian evening hours.

Match odds

Back or lay either player to win the match. There is no draw. This is the deepest tennis market and the best place to start.

Set betting and set winner

Bet on the exact score in sets (for example 2–0 or 2–1 in best-of-three) or on who wins a particular set.

Total games and game handicap

Over/under on the total number of games in the match, or a player's result after a games head start or deficit. Useful when one player is a clear favourite.

In-play game markets

Some matches offer markets on the next game or the current set. Prices move fast and the stream may lag, so these suit experienced players only.

How Tennis Bets Settle: Retirements and Walkovers

Tennis settlement is simple when a match is completed. The complications come when it is not.

• Retirement during the match. If a player retires injured partway through, the rules for that market decide what happens. Under many exchange rules, match odds are settled in favour of the player who progresses, as long as the match had started; other operators void bets in this case. Markets already decided (for example a completed first set) usually stand. Check the rules for your market before betting.
• Walkover. If a match does not start at all because a player withdraws, bets are normally void.
• Disqualification. Usually treated like a retirement under the market rules.
• Changes of court, surface or schedule. Matches moved to another court or day generally stand, but large changes can affect some markets.

Because retirement rules vary between platforms and markets, this is one of the few areas where we strongly suggest reading the rules link on the exchange before your first tennis bet. Our betting rules and settlement guide explains how to find and read those rules.

Practical Tennis Tips

• Surface matters. Clay, grass and hard courts suit different styles. A player's results on one surface may tell you little about another.
• Serve dominates prices. A break of serve moves the market sharply. Prices tend to swing back if the break is immediately returned.
• Fitness and schedule. A player coming off a long match the day before, or travelling across time zones, may not be at full strength.
• Best-of-three versus best-of-five. Longer formats give the stronger player more time to recover from a slow start.
• Watch for medical time-outs. They can signal a possible retirement, which brings the settlement rules above into play.

How Kabaddi Bets Settle

Kabaddi bets generally settle on the official result at the end of regulation time. The points to watch:

• Ties. If the competition allows a tie, a match winner market without a tie option may be void or settled under a dead-heat rule. Knockout matches may use extra time or a tie-breaker; whether those count depends on the market.
• Abandoned matches. Usually void unless the result of a particular market was already decided.
• Points totals. Based on the official scoresheet, including bonus points and all-out points as recorded.

Practical Kabaddi Tips

• Follow the league, not just the match. Squad depth, recent form and injuries to key raiders or defenders matter a lot in a short game.
• Understand all-outs. When a team loses all its players on the mat, the opponents get bonus points. All-outs swing totals and prices sharply.
• Second-half swings. Leads can change quickly. Short in-play prices on a leading team are not as safe as they look.
• Keep stakes small at first. Kabaddi markets can have less liquidity than cricket or football, so check the matched amount before betting.

Horse Racing Markets Explained

Horse racing is the original exchange sport, and its markets look different from team sports because a single race can have many runners.

Win market

Back a horse to win or lay it to lose. Laying in racing is popular because you win if any other horse wins, but your liability can be large when laying at higher prices.

Place market

Back a horse to finish in the places, or lay it to not finish there. The number of places paid depends on the size of the field and the market rules, and is shown on the market.

Forecast and other markets

When offered, forecast-style markets ask you to name the first two in order. They pay more but are much harder to win.

How Racing Bets Settle: Non-Runners and Results

• Non-runners. If a horse is withdrawn before the race, bets on that horse are void. Because the field is now smaller, matched bets on other horses may be adjusted by a reduction factor so prices stay fair. The exact method is in the market rules.
• Official result. Racing bets settle on the result declared by the racing authorities, usually once it is official. Later appeals generally do not change settled bets.
• Dead heats. If two horses tie, winnings are typically reduced proportionally.
• Abandoned or void races. Bets are normally void.

Racing moves quickly, and many players bet only before the race starts. In-play racing markets, where offered, move in seconds and are not suitable for beginners.

Getting Started with a New Sport

1. Pick one sport, not three

   Start with the sport you already follow. Your knowledge of the game is your biggest advantage on an exchange.

2. Read the market rules link

   Every market has rules. For tennis, check retirements; for kabaddi, ties; for racing, non-runners and place terms.

3. Watch before betting

   Follow a few matches or races with the exchange open but no money on. Notice how prices react to events.

4. Start with the main market

   Tennis match odds, kabaddi match winner, racing win market. Leave side markets for later.

5. Keep stakes small and log everything

   Use 2–5% of your balance per bet at most and note why you placed each bet. Our guide to reading betting odds helps you compare prices across sports.
