HOW TO BET ON CRICKET: BETTING GUIDE AND TIPS

While it is a sport with little popularity in virtually all Spanish-speaking countries, cricket (or cricket) has millions of fans and fans in many parts of the world, being even one of the most widespread and practiced after football. English tradition is known in relation to cricket, but also in other latitudes, this very old game is lived with great passion. Some good examples are Australia, New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where stadiums are regularly filled with the capacity for 50 thousand spectators and more.

To enter still a little more on topic, it is worth mentioning that the most important cricket event, in which two teams of 11 players each meet, at the country level is the World Cup, whose first edition dates back to 1975 and until now has had Australia as the main dominator. Until 2015, the oceanic country won five times this tournament, which, for example, never had Spain as a participant.

To consider

As a first step, we must know that some cricket matches are defined in a day (20, 40 or 50 overs) but others may last up to 5 days. These last ones are international matches, known in the environment as 'Test Matches'. In addition to the World Cup and the 'Test Matches', which we have alluded to above, the games corresponding to Twenty20 stand out in transcendence. Usually, they are meetings of around 3 hours.

When it comes to understanding how to bet on cricket with the top bookies, the first step logically is to understand the game perfectly and, as in the rest of sports, carry out an adequate study of the teams that face and the event in general. The physical and mental state of the protagonists can be decisive in the outcome of a game of cricket, especially in those that extend for many hours and days. Likewise, it is recommended to pay attention to various factors such as injuries and weather, which sometimes have an influential role. The team that registers the most races will win, which is the axis in several of the betting markets.

What to bet

The basic bet is naturally that of the winner of the match, as in most sports events. In this case, cricket games usually have attractive odds, since at the highest level practically anyone can beat anyone. When the tie alternative is also available and we have detected a more or less favorite team, the 'Double chance' is an interesting option to cover us. For those who are really in the topic and know each of the players, the bet for the best batter of the team -usually- offers very good odds.

In that sense, to guess how many races a team will make in total is undoubtedly one of the most attractive modalities. Of course, to get involved in this market you have to have some knowledge and a good dose of experience. In this type of bet, the number of players eliminated by a team, the field in which they play, the over (set of 6 pitches) in which they are, which of the two teams bat first and the quality of the 4 or 5 last batters.
