You should consider many things before placing a bet on a cricket match, which can help you place strategic bets that are more likely to return you a profit. Take a closer look right here at how cricket predictions can help you win when placing online cricket bets. 

Things that can help you predict a cricket match winner

Some of the most important things to consider that can help you predict the winner of a cricket match are the following:

  • Carry out your own research into both teams for the latest team news, injury details, who’s in form/who’s not in form etc. This information will be important for the sportsbooks to set their odds, but, also, gives you important context to evaluate match-ups on the field in specific moments or throughout the game. In some sports – especially basketball – missing a key player would be absolutely critical to one team’s chances of winning, as these are sports in which their best player has the ultimate impact. However, in sports like football and cricket, missing a key player might not prove to be so deadly, as, often, a team’s worst player has more of an impact on proceedings than their best – unless that best is the best of the best of the best. 
  • Find out what happened in the previous meetings between the two teams. Knowing prior results can massively help
  • Learn the different bet types/markets and try to understand the odds better 
  • Consider the match conditions (e.g., is it a day or night fixture, what’s the weather like, is it an important tournament final, etc.)
  • If you plan on betting in-play (aka live betting), then you will want to wait for the toss
  • Check for today match predictions with other predictor websites to see what they’re saying

Common types of cricket bets

Some of the most common cricket bet types that you can generally find odds for are things like outright winner/tie, over/under score, first to score 25, 50, 75, 0r 100 runs, most sixes, toss winner, top bowler, and top batsmen, to name just a few. 

Understanding the odds

If you can understand the odds and place sensible bets, then you are one step closer to winning. For example, a bet that has 1.20 European decimal odds comes with an 83.3% implied probability rate (which means that it’s quite like to come in). In UK fractional odds, 1.20 equates to 1/5, and in American/moneyline odds, it works out to -500. If it has 1.29 odds (European decimal odds), it equates to 2/7 in UK fractional odds and -350 in American/moneyline odds, with an implied probability rate of 77.80%, and so on. 

A bet that is much less likely to come in would have, for example, 67.00 odds, which is 66/1 or +6,600. These odds come with just a 1.5% implied probability rate. At many of today’s best Indian sports betting sites that have cricket betting markets, you will find that the default odds format might be set to European decimal odds. 

Some sports betting sites allow you to change how the odds are displayed (UK, European, or American/moneyline format) at the click or tap of a button. Just try and get used to one format and then always use that when placing a bet. 

Where to place a bet on the cricket

If you want to place a wager on the IPL (Indian Premier League), the Caribbean Premier League (the CPL), the Pakistan Super League (the PSL), the Test Series, One Day Internationals, the Australian Big Bash League (BBL), or Twenty20 World Cup cricket, one of the best places you can turn to today is the official 10CRIC sports betting website.
