Cricket Betting

Cricket betting provides plenty of different opportunities and markets to bet on.

BetUK's online betting has markets on major cricket matches, from county cricket games to the biggest test matches.

Cricket Betting doesn’t stop when the match starts, either. There is a huge selection of in-play markets throughout the match.

Some say cricket is the second most popular sport on the planet, with an estimated three billion fans worldwide. With its unique pace and fierce yet friendly rivalries, cricket is a popular sport for both viewership and online betting.

There are all manner of different codes with short, sharp limited-over contests through to Test matches that stretch over days, which means there are plenty of options when it comes to cricket betting.

Domestic Cricket Betting

The Indian Premier League is the world’s biggest club competition. Played in the T20 format over six weeks in April, the razzmatazz and hype are like nothing else in cricket. Nationally, England has its T20 Cup, and Australia hosts the Big Bash League each year.

In England and Wales, domestic competition centres around county cricket with 18 first-class clubs playing in the County Championship and 19 further sides in the Minor Counties Championship. Both leagues operate a home and away fixture set-up with four-day matches played out.

Here at BetUK, you can find the latest odds across each of these competitions, allowing you to bet either outright or live in-play.

Betting on Test Cricket

The nature of Test match cricket sets it up perfectly for the strategic bettor. With games straddling five days, each session lasts two hours with around 30 overs played in each.

With a long playtime and various twists and turns, Test Cricket offers so many different options when browsing the betting markets.

Betting on ODI Cricket

One Day and T20 cricket are hugely popular worldwide with stratospheric audiences, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. The focus in one-day cricket matches switches somewhat because rather than the Chess-like strategies employed in Test cricket, the whole aim is to get runs, and quickly.

Despite the faster pace of ODI cricket, you can still select from a wide range of markets, with live betting opening various options whilst you follow the action in real time.

Betting on T20 Cricket

T20 cricket essentially elevates the excitement of the one-day version at an even faster pace. With only 20 overs to rack up a winning score, each team is limited to just 80 minutes in which to do so.

A draw is impossible in T20 cricket too as the rules don’t allow it. If there is a tie after regular play, each team nominates three batsmen and one bowler to face-off in a single “Super Over”.

With the options available at BetUK, you can bet on the biggest T20 cricket matches. Due to the fast-paced nature of the games, live betting is a popular option.
