How to bet on Cricket

Cricket, depending on your patience, can be a grind to watch, so to make it more entertaining, betting on the game can ensure it’s more enjoyable to view.

There are a stack of ways and options to bet on Cricket, so down below are all the main options on the game, whether it be the red ball or white ball version.

Head To Head Bet

This bet sees a market on the two teams and who will win. An example of this would be Australia taking on England, with $1.40 odds against $3 odds. If you place $10 on Australia to win, you’ll get a return of $14. Depending on the game played, dividends can be halved while in test matches, the draw is available as an option.

Top Runscorer Bet

This is a betting option where the bookmaker will put up odds on who will be top runscorer for the game. For a test match, they will offer markets on the overall match, as well as the respective innings, whether it be the entire innings or a certain team in that innings. The white ball version of the game only has one innings so they will have markets on top runscorer for both the respective teams and the entire match.

Top Wicket Taker Bet

This form of betting is where punters can back who will take the most wickets for the match. It is similar to runscorer markets, with markets available on test matches across both innings, respective teams, or just the entire match. It is similar with the white ball version of the game, with markets available on both teams and for the match overall.

Player Of The Match Bet

This is generally saved for important games, mainly test matches and finals of certain leagues, which is usually the Indian Premier League and the Big Bash League. This market sees punters back who will get player of the match, as decided by a panel of experts. It is generally won by the leading runscorer of leading wicket taker.

Toss Win Bet

If you aren’t a fan of the cricket but want to bet, the best option for you is the coin toss bet. Simply, back which team will win the coin toss. Generally bookies will offer up $1.90 odds/thereabouts for both teams, unless there is a recent pattern or trend where a certain captain from a team wins the toss more often than not.

Method Of Dismissal Bet

This market sees punters back what the method of a batter being out will be. The most popular is the first wicket method of dismissal, with the key options being bowled, caught or LBW. With most bookies, they will offer live betting on each wicket and how the batter will be dismissed, which will keep punters entertained.

Same Game Multi Bet

The same game multi is the most popular form of betting across Cricket. This where you can combine multiple selections together to enhance your price.

This is a form of betting which is popular because you don’t need to outlay too much to potentially win big. You can add as much as 25 legs to a same game multi, and add legs from both teams, which will ensure a bigger divided.

First Over Bet

If Cricket is a punish and you just want to bet on something nice and early, then the first over betting is for you. Bookies will offer up markets on options such as how many runs will be scored in an over, whether there will be a wicket taken in the over, if there will be a boundary or six and many other options, which will keep punters entertained.

Player Runs Bet

This market is quite popular with those who enjoy same game multis, but you can bet on them outright as a single bet. The bookie will put up odds on players and what runs they will get in that respective innings, which can range from 10 runs or more to 50 or more runs, depending on the quality of player that is betting.

Player Wickets Bet

Similar to the player runs markets, this is also a same game multi type of betting option, but is also available as a single bet. The bookie will have markets on players and how many wickets they take for the innings, whether it be 1 or more, 2 or more and so on. They will also have markets on whether a player will take a five wicket haul, along with whether or not there will be a hat trick during the game.

To Score A 50/100 Bet

This is available in all forms of cricket, but it’s quite popular as a same game multi option for bets relating to the short form of the game, mainly T20, especially the Big Bash. This is where bookies will put up markets as to whether or not there will be a 50 or a 100 scored by a player in an innings or the entire match, which can be value given it is the shorter form of the game.
