Understanding Cricket World Cup Betting

Outright odds, ie. backing the overall winner, are up for several months before the event with most of the best bookies. Each-way betting (half the odds in some cases for reaching the final) is available.

Nearer the time as more squads are announced, a number of special markets will comes out. These include the likes of tournament top batsman and top bowler, team top batsman and top bowler, odds to reach the knockout stages, odds to reach the final, and to finish bottom. And, of course, there are odds for individual matches.

If matches are interrupted by rain, the number of overs may be reduced in length with the Duckworth-Lewis method possibly coming into operation. This calculates a required score for the chasing side, but both sides need to face a minimum of 20 overs apiece for there to be a result.

Death bowling is vital in ODIs with teams usually keeping back their best pacemen for the closing overs. Expect to see plenty of slower balls and yorkers in the dying stages as the bowling side tries to prevent a match-changing cavalcade of boundaries. The batting side will almost always try to make sure the better ball-striker faces more deliveries, especially when chasing a target.

Betting on One-Day Cricket

Since the advent of T20 cricket - which we created a handy betting strategy guide for - there have been several tweaks to the 50-over format to make it more exciting. Powerplays, periods when fielding restrictions are in place, were previously chosen by the bowling or batting side but these have now become fixed as follows:

This combined with more batter-friendly pitches has led to a sizeable shift in strategy with hard-hitters often opening to take advantage of the lack of fielders on the boundaries. One popular market is which team will score the most sixes. You can bet under or over on the number of runs a team scores in a set number of overs, like the 10 overs of the opening powerplay. That figure will change in play.

Run rates have risen dramatically in recent years. All of the top 20 team scores in ODI history have come since 2006 with half of these made in the last five years. It is still vital for a team to play out their overs with all but one of those totals coming from 50 overs. The exception was one ball shy of the full allocation.
