ICC Cricket World Cup

The ICC Cricket World Cup is the biggest international cricket event in the world, taking place every four years. It has a one-day format, meaning that each match has a potential for a total of 100 overs – each team will get 50 overs each (300 balls) to get as high a score as they can. The competition usually lasts about seven weeks, so you can imagine the amount of cricket online betting that goes on.

Australia have had the most success in this competition, winning the title a total of six times. They even won the 2023 edition, beating Indian in their own backyard. India and the West Indies are the two teams that have won the trophy the next most times with two wins, while Pakistan, England, and Sri Lanka have lifted the title on one occasion each.

2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup

Cricket is a unique sport as there are two separate World Cups. The T20 World Cup is the shorter version as each team gets 20 overs (120 balls) to score as many runs as they can. In this cricket format, it is safe to say that every ball is an event, which is the reason why millions of cricket lovers all across the globe will be glued to the action when the tournament takes place. The previous edition of the T20 World Cup was played in 2022 and was won by England. The next edition takes place in 2024 in June in the US and West Indies.

The Ashes

England and Australia are two countries that seem to have the biggest sporting rivalry when it comes to cricket. The Ashes came into being in 1882, when England lost to Australia at home and the English press declared the death of English cricket and that the Ashes were going back to Australia. In 1883, England toured Australia and reclaimed their Ashes.

There has been some wonderful Ashes moments over the years, and England fans will certainly remember the time when Gary Pratt ran out Ricky Ponting in the 2005 edition, while Ponting also probably has nightmares remembering that over that Freddie Flintoff bowled to him. Nobody who saw Shane Warne’s ball of the century live will ever see a better ball, while those who were at Headingley in 2019 will forget Ben Stokes’ 135*.

Indian Premier League

The first edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) took place in 2007, and it is now one of the world’s most popular cricket events. All of the best cricket players in the world want to play in this competition due to the riches that are available, with cricket fans treated to plenty of drama and entertainment. Both the Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians lead the way, having claimed five titles each. The Kolkata Knight Riders have two titles, while the Deccan Chargers, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Gujurat Titans have one win each.

Big Bash League

This is another really popular T20 competition that takes place in Australia during December, January, and February. Like the IPL, all of the best T20 cricketers from around the world head to Australia to put on displays of quality cricket. The most successful team is the Perth Scorchers as they have five titles under their belt, while the second most successful team is the Sydney Sixers with three trophies.

Big Bash League Women

This is the female equivalent of the aforementioned Big Bash League, and it takes place in October and November of each year – although sometimes it extends into December. The first edition took place in 2015/2016, and it was won by Sydney Thunder. They, along with the Sydney Sixers, the Adelaide Strikers, and Brisbane Heat have won the title two times. The Adelaide Strikers are the current champions, having lifted the trophy in 2023.

Ford Trophy

This is the main domestic limited overs cricket tournament in New Zealand. As you can probably tell from its name, it is sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. Six teams compete in a round robin format where the teams play each other two times. Once all ten matches have been played, the top team advances to the Grands Final, while the teams in second and third play each other for the other spot in the final. The most successful team in the competition is Canterbury with 15 wins, while Auckland are not too far behind with 13 wins. The current champions are the Central Districts, who recently won their 7th title.

Betiton UK Cricket Betting Markets

Cricket has more markets than most other sports, and this is one of the major reasons why many people enjoy placing bets on it. In this section of our guide, we are going to have a look at five of the most popular cricket betting markets.

Match Bet

It does not get any easier than this: all that you need to do is to predict the team that will go on to win the match. When it comes to T20 and ODI cricket, you will usually not find odds for a draw since they are quite rare in these formats. Draws are much more common in Test cricket, so most top bookmakers will offer odds for such an outcome.

Series Winner

In most cases, two cricket teams will play a series of matches (usually best of five) instead of playing only one game. If you do not want to bet on the winner of a particular match, then you can decide to place a bet on the team that will win the series. If you want to do some cricket betting online on the series winner, then the odds on offer will usually be higher than the match winner odds.

Top Batsman

With this market, you need to predict the batsman that you think will go on to score the most runs for their team. This can usually be done for a match, series or tournament. It is one of the most exciting cricket bets around because it allows you to live and breathe each ball that your selected player faces.

Top Bowler

Do you think you know the bowler that will go on to pick up the most wickets for their team? If yes, then you can also put a bet on them to do so. Just like with the top batsman market, you can modify it in a number of ways. Due to the difficulty of such a market, the odds that are on offer are usually quite enticing.

Mode of Dismissal

There are six different ways that a batter can be dismissed while at the crease: caught, LBW, run out, stumped, bowled, or other. You have the option of putting money on the way that the next player will be dismissed. The odds vary depending on the method – caught is a lot more common than stumped, so the odds are lower.

Betiton UK Cricket Bet Types

Above we spoke about five of the most popular cricket bets, but there are so many other options available to cricket bettors. In the list below, we have taken a brief look at other options that are available to those who like to do some cricket betting in the UK.

• Outright winner – A futures bet where you have to try and predict the team that will go on an win the whole event. The earlier you place your bets, the better the odds will be.
• Toss winner – A coin toss is done to decide who will bat and bowl first, and you can put your money on the winner of the toss.
• Match score – With this type of bet, you need to determine the number of runs that a team will score in the match.
• To score a half-century – You can bet on whether a particular batter will score 50 runs in the game.
• To score a century – You can put money on whether a certain batsman will score a century in the match.
• Runs off next ball – You are betting on the number of runs that will be scored on the next delivery.

Cricket Betting Odds Explained by Betiton UK

There are three different odds formats, and all three can be found at Betiton UK. These formats are American, fractional, and decimal, and the latter is the default setting. If you want to change the odds format, then you can do so in the top right of the page.

• Decimal: The number indicates your total payout, and not the total profit. If you bet £10 at odds of 4.00 and win, you will get £40 back – £30 profit and £10 wager.

• Fractional: The number tells you how much you win for every £1 that is wagered. So, if you bet £10 at odds of 5.00 and win, you will get back £60 – £50 profit and £10 wager.

• American: The minus sign indicates how much you have to stake on the favourites to win $100, while the plus sign tells you how much can potentially be won for betting $100 on the underdogs.

Betiton UK Cricket Betting Tips

When you are UK cricket betting, there is nothing stopping you from placing a bet based purely on luck, but do not be surprised if you lose more than you win. Below we are going to give you some cricket betting tips that you should keep in mind when you are betting on this sport.

• Form is important – You need to always check out the form of the team that you are thinking about betting on. If they have been losing a lot, then we do not suggest betting on them to win.
• Check out missing players – You need to know the key players for a team that you want to bet on so that you can make sure that they are available to play. If a team is missing important players, it is wise to look elsewhere.
• Consider the weather – The weather plays a big part in cricket, so have a look at the forecast before you place any bets. Sunny conditions are great for batsmen, while the bowlers will often look for overcast conditions.
• Place live bets – Sometimes it is better to wait until a match has started before you place any bets as you can get a better understanding as to how things might unfold. All top sites will offer live cricket betting, while live cricket betting odds can sometimes be better than pre-match odds.
