Kabaddi Betting 2026: Guide to Pro League Odds

Q: How long is a Kabaddi match for betting purposes?

Bets apply to "Regular Time" (40 minutes: two 20-minute halves) unless specified. If interrupted, a match is valid if at least 32 minutes have been played.

Q: What happens if a match ends in a tie?

If you bet on "Match Winner (1X2)", the "X" (Draw) wins. If you bet on a specific team to win and no draw option was offered, rules may vary, but typically it is a push or loss depending on the market.

Q: How does the Handicap work in Kabaddi?

It adds or subtracts points from a team's final score. For example, Handicap 2 (+2) means Team 2 starts with a 2-point lead. If they lose 53-52, the adjusted score is 53-54, and your bet wins.

Q: What counts as "Total Points"?

The sum of points scored by both teams in Regular Time. If the total exactly equals the bet line (e.g., exactly 45 points on a line of 45), the bet is usually refunded.

Introduction to Kabaddi Betting

Kabaddi is a fast-paced, high-contact sport that has gained massive popularity in the betting world, especially with the rise of the Pro Kabaddi League. Matches typically consist of two halves of 20 minutes each. The unique scoring system, involving raids and tackles, creates dynamic betting markets that fluctuate rapidly. Understanding the rules of settlement—particularly around interrupted matches and regular time—is essential for any bettor.

General Rules & Settlement

Regular Time

Unless specified otherwise, all bets apply to "Regular Time" (40 minutes). Extra time is usually excluded from standard Match Winner (1X2) bets.

Interrupted Matches

If a match is interrupted and not finished within 24 hours:

Play > 32 Minutes: The match is considered completed, and bets stand on the result at the time of interruption.
Play < 32 Minutes: The match is considered incomplete. Bets are void (Odds 1.00), except for markets already unconditionally determined (e.g., 1st Half Winner).

Technical Victory

A "Technical Victory" awarded for any reason (e.g., team disqualification) is not grounds for bet calculation. In such cases, bets are voided.

Main Betting Markets

Match Result (1X2)

Predict the outcome at the end of Regular Time.

Win 1: Team 1 victory.
X: Draw (A tie in scores).
Win 2: Team 2 victory.

Double Chance

Cover two outcomes to reduce risk.

1X: Team 1 wins OR Draw.
12: Team 1 wins OR Team 2 wins (No Draw).
X2: Team 2 wins OR Draw.

Handicap Betting

Handicaps balance the game by adding or subtracting points from a team's final score.

Positive Handicap (e.g., +2): You win if your team wins the match, or loses by only 1 point.
Example: Your team loses 53-52. Corrected score is 53-54 (Winner!).
Negative Handicap (e.g., -2): Your team must win by 3 or more points.
Example: Your team wins 54-51. Corrected score is 52-51 (Winner!).

Note: If the handicap adjustment results in a draw (e.g., Team wins 54-52 and handicap was -2, resulting in 52-52), the bet is refunded.

Total & Stats Betting

Total Points (Over/Under)

Predict whether the total combined score of both teams will be higher or lower than a set number (e.g., 45).

Over 45: Total score must be 46 or higher.
Under 45: Total score must be 44 or lower.
Exactly 45: Bet is refunded (Push).

Total Odd/Even

A simple luck-based market: Will the final total score be an Odd number (e.g., 43, 45) or an Even number (e.g., 44, 46)?
