The 1Win sportsbook covers more than 40 sports and, at busy times, over 1,000 live events. For Indian players it is mostly a cricket book with extras: IPL nights decide how the whole site looks, and cricket matches get more markets than anything else. This page covers what is on offer, how cricket markets work, the four bet types, placing a bet step by step, live betting and cash-out, and how odds and margins compare.

Cricket Betting at 1Win
Cricket sits at the top of the sports menu and gets the deepest coverage. Margins on cricket are around 5-6%, which is competitive for the Indian market.
Cricket Markets
Big matches carry 100+ markets. Beyond match winner and toss, players can bet on top batter, total sixes, session runs, method of dismissal, runs in the next over and whether a batter reaches 50 or 100. Session runs suit players who follow the game closely, because the line resets every few overs.
IPL Betting
During the IPL every fixture has full pre-match and live coverage, plus season-long outrights such as tournament winner and top run scorer. Specials appear before key games. Traffic spikes at toss time, so place pre-match bets early.
Live Cricket
Live cricket markets update ball by ball with a tracker showing the score, run rate and recent deliveries. Odds move fast, and a bet can be rejected if the price changes before it is accepted. Turning on accept odds changes in the bet slip avoids that, at the cost of sometimes getting a slightly different price.
Bet Types Explained
Single
One selection, one stake. The simplest bet and the easiest to cash out.
Express
Several selections in one bet. Odds multiply, and every leg must win. Five or more legs qualify for the express bonus.
System
Builds many smaller accumulators from a list of picks, so one or two losing legs do not sink the whole bet.
Chain
A row of singles where the return from one feeds the stake of the next, in order.
How to Place a Bet
- Log in and fund the account. Bets need an INR balance. Deposit from ₹300.
- Choose a sport and event. Use the left menu on desktop or the sports tab in the app.
- Tap the odds. The selection drops into the bet slip on the right or at the bottom of the screen.
- Pick the bet type. With more than one selection, choose single, express, system or chain.
- Enter the stake and confirm. The slip shows the possible return. Tap Place bet and wait for confirmation.
- Track it. Open bets sit under Bet history, with cash-out where available.
Account setup is explained on the 1Win login page and deposit methods on the payments page.
Live Betting and Cash-Out
The Live section lists everything in play, sorted by sport. Live bets start from about ₹10. Video streams run on selected football, tennis, basketball and esports events for funded accounts. Cricket relies on the match tracker.
Cash-out is offered on most markets. Full cash-out settles the bet now for the amount shown. Partial cash-out takes part of that amount and leaves the rest running. The offer changes with every price move, and it can disappear briefly when a wicket or goal is being reviewed.
Kabaddi, Football and Other Sports
Kabaddi has its own following on 1Win thanks to the Pro Kabaddi League, with markets on match winner, total points and handicaps. Football covers the ISL and I-League alongside the big European leagues, where the market count is highest. Tennis and table tennis run nearly round the clock and suit live betting. Horse racing and basketball fill out the rest of the menu.
Esports Betting
Esports has a separate tab with CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant and BGMI. Markets include match winner, map winner, total maps and handicaps. Some matches have a live stream in the event page, which helps, because esports odds swing hard after each round.
Odds Formats and Margins
Odds show in decimal format by default: 2.50 means a ₹100 stake returns ₹250. The settings let players switch to fractional or American format. The margin is the bookmaker's built-in edge. On cricket it is about 5-6%, which means the implied probabilities of all outcomes add up to roughly 105-106%. Lower margins mean better prices, so comparing a few major markets now and then is worthwhile.
Express Bonus
Winning expresses with five or more legs get a bonus of 7% to 15% on top of the winnings, growing with the number of selections. It applies to pre-match and live accumulators. Remember that each extra leg also makes the bet less likely to win. The casino welcome package does not release through sports bets, as explained on the 1Win bonus page. Bet within a fixed budget and see the responsible gambling page for limit tools. The 1Win app carries the full sportsbook too.
