Laser247 sports betting is built on one idea: players set the price, not the house. Our exchange lists cricket, football, tennis, kabaddi, basketball and horse racing, and on every market you can back an outcome, lay it, or trade between the two against other Indian players. This hub explains how the exchange differs from a bookmaker, gives a short tour of each sport, and links to the detailed guide for whichever one you follow.
Exchange versus sportsbook in one minute
A sportsbook quotes a price with its own margin inside it and takes the other side of your bet. If you win too often, it limits your stakes. On the Laser247 exchange there is no house position. The blue column shows the best prices other players will pay you to back; the pink column shows the best prices others are asking if you want to lay. We match the two sides and charge a commission of 2 to 5 percent on net winnings only. Two practical consequences follow:
- Prices are usually better. An IPL favourite at 1.75 on a sportsbook often trades at 1.85 or above on the exchange.
- You can bet against an outcome. Laying is the tool that turns a bet into a trade, and it is simply not offered on a sportsbook.
Winning players are welcome. Our income comes from commission on volume, so a profitable account is a good account.
The sports on Laser247
Cricket
Our deepest section. IPL matches open with more than 50 markets and over ₹50 lakh of liquidity on match odds, with session runs, fall of wicket, top batter and player lines updating ball by ball. Tests, ODIs, T20Is, ICC events and the Ranji Trophy are all listed. Read the cricket betting guide or go straight to IPL betting.
Football
ISL, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and the Champions League, with match odds, goals lines, both teams to score, corners, cards and Asian handicaps. Cash-out works by laying your own position. See football betting.
Tennis
Grand Slams plus the ATP and WTA tours, in-play from the first serve. Two-way markets with no draw make tennis the cleanest sport for laying short favourites. See tennis betting.
Kabaddi
Full Pro Kabaddi League coverage: match winner with tie, handicaps, total points, raid points and all-outs. Fast scoring makes it a trader’s sport. See pro kabaddi odds.
Basketball
NBA, EuroLeague and FIBA events with money line, points spread, total points, quarter winners and player props. NBA games fall in the Indian morning, which suits players who want markets outside the evening cricket rush.
Horse racing
Indian tracks at Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata alongside major international meetings. Win and place markets with both exchange and fixed-odds pricing, so you can take a price early or trade in the final minutes before the off.
What the betting screen shows
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue price | Best odds you can back at, with the amount available |
| Pink price | Best odds you can lay at, with the amount available |
| Matched | Total money already traded on the market; a quick liquidity check |
| Exposure | Your worst-case loss across open positions on that market |
| Profit preview | What you make or lose on each outcome if the bet is matched |
The profit preview is the feature new players should learn first. It shows the effect of a back or lay before you confirm, which removes most beginner mistakes.
One ID, every sport
You do not apply for a cricket ID, a football ID and a casino ID separately. A single Laser247 ID gives you every sport above and the live casino from one wallet. Request it through the WhatsApp button, share your name, mobile number and city, and the login arrives in 5 to 10 minutes. A ₹500 UPI deposit reflects within 60 seconds. Withdrawals by UPI arrive in 8 to 10 minutes, with no fee at either end.
Playing within limits
Six sports and a casino running around the clock can tempt anyone to overtrade. From your profile you can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits, turn on reality-check reminders, or self-exclude for a period. Stake 1 to 2 percent of your bankroll per bet, review the account ledger monthly, and specialise in one or two sports before spreading. The responsible gaming page explains each tool.
Pick your sport and start. Get your Laser247 ID on WhatsApp and every market above is open to you within ten minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Laser247 a betting exchange or a sportsbook?
An exchange. Players trade against each other and we charge commission on winnings. There is no house margin in the price and no limiting of winning accounts.
Which sport has the best liquidity?
Cricket, and IPL in particular. Premier League and Champions League football come next, followed by Grand Slam tennis. Kabaddi, basketball and racing are deep enough for normal stakes but thinner on minor events.
Can I bet on more than one sport from the same wallet?
Yes. All sports and the live casino draw from one balance, so a cricket win can fund a football bet without any transfer.
Do I need the app to bet in-play?
No, the website works fully in a browser. The Android app adds push alerts, biometric login and one-tap UPI deposits, which many players prefer during live cricket.
What is the minimum deposit for sports betting?
₹500. There is no upper limit for verified accounts.
