A huge number of cricket fans live in England, India, Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa. Needless to say, this sport has a lot of fans among bookmaker players. It should be said that cricket betting is gaining popularity really fast.
If you analyse the lines of online bookmakers, then cricket is present in almost all of them. However, if in most small bookmakers it is possible to bet only on the winner of the match, then popular operators have a wide list. It is recommended to place cricket bets on the famous bookmakers’ sites, as they offer higher odds and a variety of markets. If you are seriously interested in cricket and want to turn this hobby into a source of income, a reasonable solution would be to register with several bookmakers at once to increase the chances of a profitable game.
How to place cricket bets correctly
Cricket is one of those sports where pre-match analysis is of relatively low value. Of course, you cannot ignore it with a professional approach. The form of teams and individual players should be monitored, motivation, injuries, field factor, head-to-head matches, home and away game statistics should be considered. But since bettors mainly bet on live cricket, live analysis is crucial. In-match analysis includes factors such as draw results, ball wear, field wear and weather. Each of them strongly influences the scenario of the match, which can last for several days.
There can be many types of cricket bets as:
- The main outcome;
- Double chance;
- Asian handicap;
- Total;
- Individual total;
- Best Batsman;
- Best bowler;
- Tournament winner.
Other bets include total wickets, who scores more than 4 points, the first goal, who wins the toss and others.
Cricket betting strategies
There are a lot of strategies for playing cricket on the internet, especially if you search for them in the English-speaking and Asian segments. Both the strategy of betting on the favourite and the outsider are suitable here. The ability to analyse matches will allow you to get superiority over the bookmaker with any of these approaches. There is also a popular strategy for betting on total less in late innings, which is suitable for multi-day matches. When betting on cricket, you need to know that there are three formats of competition in this sport:
- Level 1 cricket is the slowest form of cricket, where there are many tactics and meetings lasting up to 5 days. In this format, national championships and test matches between national teams are held.
- One Day Matches — the match is limited to 40 or 50 overs, so the winner is usually identified within one playing day.
- T20 is the fastest and most entertaining schedule, the average duration of matches is only three and a half hours.
Experts recommend playing in live mode. In such a situation, you can safely analyse the course of the game by adding bets throughout the match — the duration of games is on average about 5-6 hours (one-day fights) up to 3-4 days (first level competitions).
Cricket is a sport where sensations are common, so a capper can hit a big jackpot with a little understanding of the discipline. However, remember that most of the results are logical and strong teams will win. For example, in the World Cups, Australia has achieved five victories, India and the West Indies have won the title twice, and Sri Lanka and England have become the strongest cricket team in the world only once.
