Frequently asked questions when it comes to betting on Cricket:

How can you bet on cricket?

Online or in-store at high street betting shops around the country. For a quicker pay out on winning bets and a wider variety of markets, placing your cricket bets online via bookmaker websites/apps is probably the best option.

What betting markets are available in cricket?

• Match Betting
  • The most popular form of betting on cricket is to bet on the result of a match, whether it is a test match, one-day or T20 game. There are three results although the odds on there being a draw(tie) in any of the one-day formats of the game are very long. Check the form of the two teams and it's often good to wait for the teams to be announced and also who wins the toss as this can be a very important factor, especially in day/night one-day matches.
• Highest opening partnership
  • Most bookies will have betting odds on which team's opening two batsmen will score the most runs.
• Over/under
  • A popular prop bet to give punters some interest during the game. The bookmakers will come up with a 'line' so you can bet on whether a team will score over or under a certain amount of runs during a match. E.g. over or under 251 runs.
• Overall series/tournament winner
  • Just like any event you are able to bet on the eventual winner in the outright markets. 'England to win the World Cup' for example. You can also bet on markets like top run scorer or top wicket taker in the series/tournament.
