Kabaddi is Bangladesh's national sport. This homegrown game has grown onto the international stage, and Kabaddi match markets are now active on online betting platforms. In this section of 406, you'll find everything about Kabaddi betting — market types, odds analysis, strategies, and all the essential information, fully in English.
Kabaddi is more than just a sport — it's an inseparable part of Bangladesh's culture. From rural villages to city arenas, from local fields to the international stage, kabaddi is everywhere. Tournaments like the Pro Kabaddi League have also sparked a rapid rise in betting interest around the game.
406's Kabaddi Betting section is built for Bangladeshi sports fans. Here we cover the different betting markets for kabaddi matches, how to read odds, how to analyse team strengths, and strategies for informed betting.
Please note that this guide is purely informational. 406 does not guarantee any specific betting outcome, and we always place responsible gaming at the top of our priorities. Betting is for entertainment — not a reliable source of income.
Understanding the rules of the game before placing a bet is essential. A solid grasp of kabaddi's core structure makes it much easier to navigate the betting markets.
Each team has 7 active players on the court, with up to 5 substitutes on the bench. The court is divided into two equal halves, with each team defending their own side.
The Raider enters the opponent's half and attempts to tag defenders while continuously chanting "kabaddi kabaddi," then returns to their own half. Each successful tag earns one point.
In international kabaddi, a match is played across two 20-minute halves with a 5-minute break in between. Time may vary slightly for junior and women's categories.
A Raider is Out if they cross the boundary, release their breath, or get caught. A Defender is Out if they step out of bounds or fail to tag the Raider out. The opposing team earns one point.
A Super Raid occurs when a Raider tags 3 or more defenders in a single raid. Crossing the Bonus Line earns an additional Bonus Point — a tactically significant move.
If all 7 players of a team are out, it's called All Out — the opposing team earns 2 bonus points. All players then return to the field. The team that concedes fewer All Outs generally wins.
Kabaddi matches offer a variety of betting options. Learn in detail how each market works.
The simplest and most widely used market — you bet on which of the two teams will win. If a draw is possible, a third option is also offered.
Bet on who leads after the first 20-minute half. A team's early momentum and Raider form play a big role here. A great opportunity for quick decision-making.
The stronger team starts with an artificial points deficit. For example, Team A (-5) means Team A is spotted 5 points behind. This levels the odds between the two sides.
A bet on the combined total points scored by both teams in a match. The bookmaker sets a line (e.g., 75.5) and you choose Over or Under.
Bet in real time as the match unfolds. You can make decisions based on the point gap, a Raider's momentum, or the situation following an All Out. Odds shift every moment.
This market is about predicting which player will score the most points in a match. It requires analysing the player's recent form, the opposition's defensive weaknesses, and individual statistics.
Odds are the foundation of betting. Without understanding them properly, making sound decisions is difficult. The table below shows a hypothetical kabaddi betting example — this is not real match data.
| Market | Alternative | Decimal Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner Example Match |
Team A | 1.75 | ~57% |
| Team B | 2.10 | ~48% | |
| First Half | Team A Leading | 1.90 | ~53% |
| Team B is ahead | 2.05 | ~49% | |
| Total Points | Over 78.5 | 1.95 | ~51% |
| Under 78.5 | 1.95 | ~51% |
Decimal odds of 1.75 mean: a BDT 100 bet returns a total of BDT 175 (BDT 100 stake + BDT 75 profit). Lower odds indicate a stronger favorite; higher odds reflect a more uncertain outcome.
The examples below are for guidance only — they do not reflect real matches or actual odds.
These are hypothetical examples. Actual match data and odds will differ on the platform.

Register on 406 and complete age verification.
Go to the Sports or Kabaddi section from the menu.
Select a match from the list of upcoming or Live kabaddi matches.
Choose your preferred market and set your stake.
Review your bet slip, confirm, and wait for the result.
Decide how much you are willing to stake before the match begins. This amount should be something you can afford to lose without it causing any financial strain.
Research both teams' recent form, head-to-head history, key player availability, and venue conditions.
Beginners should start with the Match Winner market. Focus on one market at a time rather than spreading bets across multiple options.
No strategy can guarantee a win — but a methodical approach to analysis makes your decisions far more rational.
Look at how the team has performed over their last 5–10 matches. Check their win/loss streak, average points scored, and number of All Outs. A team in strong recent form generally performs better.
The head-to-head history between two specific teams can often be a useful indicator of future results — especially previous results at the same venue or in the same tournament.
A strong Raider in kabaddi can contribute a large share of the team's total points. If a key Raider or Star Defender is injured or dropped, the team's overall strength takes a notable hit.
Keep an eye on how odds shift before a match kicks off. When heavy money flows toward one team, bookmakers typically shorten their odds — a clear signal of where the market sentiment lies.
A Value Bet occurs when you believe a team's actual chances of winning are higher than what the odds imply. This concept is the foundation of informed, long-term betting.
No matter how thorough your analysis is, results in kabaddi — or any sport — are never guaranteed. Never place a large bet banking on a certain win. 406 always encourages responsible betting.

A Kabaddi match can swing for many reasons. Consider the factors below before placing your bet.
Check how many points the lead Raider has scored across the last few matches. A Raider in good form is a significant advantage for the team.
A strong defence limits All Out concessions. A team's tackle success rate helps when analysing average point totals.
Teams playing at home or on familiar ground benefit from crowd support and a comfortable environment.
Teams tend to rotate players more during the group stage. In knockout matches, the best lineup takes the field, which makes betting in those fixtures more informed.
Team fatigue and injury status become increasingly important as a tournament progresses. A fit squad generally performs better in the later stages.
Whether players have been competing together for a long time has a significant impact on team coordination and tactical execution.
How many times a team averages an All Out per match — given or conceded — is valuable data for the Total Points market.
Every coach has a distinct game plan — whether that's aggressive Raiding or a defensive approach. Analyze which strategy tends to be more effective against the opposing side.
Kabaddi betting platforms use certain English terms. Understanding what they mean makes it easier to place informed bets.

The Bangladesh Kabaddi Federation has been an active participant in international kabaddi. Within South Asia, the Bangladesh team has traditionally been competitive. Bangladesh has taken part in the Asian Games, SAFF Championship, and the Kabaddi World Cup. At the domestic league level, Dhaka-based clubs are regularly active.
Kabaddi is a sport we take pride in. There's a world of difference between betting out of love for the game and betting out of compulsion. 406 always encourages the former.
A kabaddi season features many matches — you don't need to bet on every one. Focusing on select matches with a limited budget and thorough analysis is a far more disciplined approach.
