United KingdomAlthough online cricket betting isn’t among the most popular or largest betting markets around, there is certainly a lot of money to be made from it, even if you don’t follow the game. This is because cricket is a sport which is dominated by statistics which are readily available, such as batting averages and bowling figures.
This means that someone with an extremely limited knowledge of cricket can have an instant and reliable source of information on the form of both sides. However, it is obviously preferable to have a wealth of personal knowledge on any event on which you are placing money, and cricket betting is no different.

The biggest tournament on this year’s cricketing calendar is finally upon us, with the world’s 14 best nations descending on Australia and New Zealand for the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
With so many intricate complexities, cricket is perhaps one of the most complicated sports to bet on. There are many factors that can have an effect on cricket betting markets and outcomes including ground size, the state of the wicket,
When studying these statistics, it very important to evaluate what are the best and worst aspects of both teams, making it easier to compare where a side may have an edge over the other. This should be undertaken however with reference to each rule variation.
Certain formats of the game will favour some sides over others; a team which is number one in the world in test matches could well have a dreadful record at the Twenty20 format of the game. Average scores and statistics will also apply to certain formats.
It is also important to note what the average first innings score is at every venue, as there are variables which affect what can be considered a good score, such as the weather conditions and the size and quality of the pitch.
Looking at information like this gives us an idea of how sides in the past have done against specific pitched, as well as letting us know if batting first will favour them come the final score.
Weather is an extremely important variable to take into account when making wagers with cricket betting, as this can have a massive difference on the score, far more than most sports. Despite the fact that a cricket match won’t take place in poor lighting or rainy conditions, minor differences in the weather can have dramatic effects on certain sides’ chances of winning.
The ball will have reduced movement than usual on a dry, warm, sunny day, something that favours batsmen, whereas a damp, overcast day will assist in the movement of the ball, hindering the batting sides’ chances of achieving a high score.
Cricket spread betting, for such a lucrative market, is a remarkably underused and undervalued one. These markets work by a bookmaker setting a line on the match variables, to which you then chose to wager on the under or over of this variable.
For example, if the line set by the bookmaker is under 250 runs and over 270 runs for the first innings, you could bet £2 per run over this amount. If the score is 300 runs then you would win £60, as you are 30 runs over the 270 mark, and you have bet £2 a run. However, if the score comes in at 220 runs, you lose £60. The large amount of variables available during a cricket game ensures that there are almost endless possibilities with spread betting.
