Since its inception in the 16th century in England, cricket has gradually gained popularity and is now one of the most popular games in India, South Africa, Pakistan, England, Australia and other countries. However, it first became the national sport in England in the 18th century, and the first cricket clubs appeared at the end of the 18th century. Marylebone Cricket Club (1787) was the first club in which the basic rules and game regulations were announced.
Basic rules of cricket betting
If you decided to bet on cricket, you should know the basic rules and features of the game. Cricket is a game played by 2 teams of 11 players each. The goal of one of the teams is to score points, while the other team does everything to defend against the hits of the opposing team's players. In addition to the players, there are 2 referees on the oval 22-meter field and 1 referee outside the field.
Teams play 1 or 2 innings, depending on the format. The game also has an over, which consists of 6 balls served by the bowler. The batsman needs to score a point by hitting the ball with the bat followed by a run between the posts after a successful hit.
The second option is to reach the limits, which also depends on the results of the cricket match. If the rebounded ball touches the field and reaches the boundary, the team receives 4 runs. If the ball reaches the boundary without touching the field, the team receives 6 runs. The team that scores more points wins.

Cricket betting odds
Odds on cricket events are determined on the basis of specific events and their statistical analysis, understanding of market dynamics and expert knowledge. They demonstrate the probability of specific outcomes, as well as your potential profit. Let's consider the calculation of the odds on the example of the match between Australia and New Zealand:
- Odds for Australia to win: 2.20;
- Odds for New Zealand to win: 1.80.
If you make a cricket bet of 25 USD on Australia to win, you will get 25 USD x 2.20 = 55 USD. If you bet on New Zealand winning, you will get 100 USD x 1.80 = 180 USD. Odds can often change, especially in live betting. There are several reasons for this:
- news about the team (player);
- changes in weather conditions;
- dynamics of markets (volume of bets);
- the course of the game.
However, you can get the most out of your bet by researching team stats, player performance, expert opinions, and more. You should understand the market and always be aware of the smallest opportunities. Also, don't forget about managing your finances.
