How to Bet on Cricket - Complete Beginner's Guide

Chapter 1: Understanding Cricket Betting Basics

What is Cricket Betting?

Cricket betting involves wagering money on cricket match outcomes and related events. Instead of simply watching matches as a spectator, betting adds an interactive dimension where your cricket knowledge and predictions can generate returns.

Key Concept: You place bets by predicting outcomes (which team wins, which player performs best, total runs scored, etc.). If your prediction is correct, you win money based on the odds. If incorrect, you lose your stake.

Cricket Betting Markets

Why Bet on Cricket?

Entertainment Enhancement – Betting adds excitement to every ball, transforming neutral matches into personally invested experiences.

Knowledge Application – Years of watching cricket finally translate into practical value. Your understanding of pitch conditions, player form, and team strategies becomes an advantage.

Financial Opportunity – While never guaranteed, informed betting can generate profits. Successful bettors combine cricket knowledge with disciplined strategy.

Engagement with Statistics – Betting encourages deeper analysis of cricket statistics, improving your overall understanding and appreciation of the sport.

Is Cricket Betting Legal?

Cricket betting legality varies by location:

India: Legality differs by state. Some states permit online betting through licensed platforms, while others restrict it. Offshore platforms operating under international licenses serve many Indian users. You’re responsible for understanding laws in your specific state.

International: Most countries regulate rather than prohibit betting. Licensed platforms operate legally in jurisdictions including UK, Australia, and many European nations.

CricketDay Position: We operate under international gaming licenses and serve users in jurisdictions where online betting is permitted. Always verify local laws before betting.

Responsible Betting Principles

Before starting, commit to responsible betting:

Bet Entertainment Money Only – Use funds designated for entertainment, not rent, groceries, or savings. Betting should never risk financial stability.

Set Clear Limits – Determine daily, weekly, or monthly betting budgets and respect them absolutely, regardless of wins or losses.

Accept Losses – No bettor wins every time. Accept losses as part of the experience without chasing them through larger, riskier bets.

Take Regular Breaks – Don’t bet on every match. Selective betting on thoroughly analyzed matches produces better results than constant wagering.

Recognize Warning Signs – If betting creates stress, relationship problems, or financial difficulties, stop immediately and seek professional help.

Chapter 4: Placing Your First Bet

Choosing Your First Market

Best Markets for Beginners:

Match Winner – The simplest bet: which team wins?

  • Clear outcome (win/loss)
  • Easy to understand
  • Suitable for all cricket formats
  • Good starting point for learning

Top Batsman – Predict highest run-scorer for a team

  • More options than match winner
  • Requires player knowledge
  • Higher odds than match winner
  • Available in all formats

Total Runs Over/Under – Will combined runs exceed/fall below a number?

  • Less dependent on match winner
  • Requires understanding of conditions
  • Available pre-match and live
  • Moderate difficulty

Avoid Initially:

  • Complex combination bets
  • Obscure special markets
  • Very high-odds “longshot” bets
  • Markets you don’t fully understand

Step-by-Step: Placing Your First Bet

Example Scenario: IPL Match – Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings

Step 1: Research the Match

  • Check recent team form (last 5 matches)
  • Review head-to-head history
  • Consider venue characteristics (batting or bowling friendly)
  • Check team news (injuries, player availability)
  • Assess pitch and weather conditions

Step 2: Select Your Market

  • Navigate to IPL section
  • Click on Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings
  • Browse available markets
  • Choose “Match Winner” for your first bet

Step 3: Analyze Options

Mumbai Indians: 1.85 (implied probability: 54%)

Chennai Super Kings: 2.05 (implied probability: 49%)

Based on research, you believe Mumbai Indians have stronger form and home advantage.

Step 4: Place Your Bet

  1. Click “Mumbai Indians” odds (1.85)
  2. Bet slip opens automatically
  3. Enter stake amount: ₹200
  4. Review potential returns: ₹370 (₹170 profit)
  5. Confirm bet placement
  6. Receive confirmation message

Step 5: Track Your Bet

  • Watch match live (in-app streaming or TV)
  • Check “My Bets” section for updates
  • See live status during match
  • Bet settles after match conclusion

Outcome Examples:

If Mumbai Indians Win:

  • Your bet wins
  • ₹370 credits to your account (₹170 profit + ₹200 stake)
  • Available for withdrawal or further betting

If Chennai Super Kings Win:

  • Your bet loses
  • ₹200 stake is lost
  • Learn from experience and analyze why prediction was wrong

Chapter 5: Pre-Match vs Live Betting

Pre-Match Betting

Definition: Placing bets before the match starts.

Advantages:

  • More time for research and analysis
  • Stable odds (less fluctuation)
  • Wider range of markets available
  • Less pressure, thoughtful decisions
  • Can plan betting strategy in advance

Best Pre-Match Markets:

  • Match winner
  • Series winner
  • Top batsman/bowler
  • Total runs over/under
  • Player performance bets

Pre-Match Strategy:

  1. Research thoroughly (team news, conditions, form)
  2. Compare odds across platforms
  3. Wait for optimal odds (sometimes odds improve closer to match start)
  4. Set your stake based on confidence level
  5. Place bets 1-2 hours before match for best information
Live (In-Play) Betting

Definition: Placing bets during the match with real-time odds.

Advantages:

  • React to actual match conditions
  • Assess pitch behavior and team strategies
  • Capitalize on momentum shifts
  • More betting opportunities throughout match
  • Cash-out options available

Challenges:

  • Odds change rapidly
  • Requires quick decision-making
  • Can be more emotional
  • Less time for detailed analysis
  • Higher risk of impulsive bets

Best Live Betting Markets:

  • Next over runs
  • Next wicket method
  • Partnership runs
  • Match winner (odds fluctuate significantly)
  • Session betting (Test cricket)

Live Betting Strategy:

  1. Watch first 3-4 overs before betting (assess conditions)
  2. Look for overreactions in odds (market corrections create value)
  3. Consider match situation (required run rate, wickets in hand)
  4. Use cash-out strategically (secure profits or minimize losses)
  5. Set strict limits for live betting (easy to get carried away)

Example Live Betting Scenario:

Match Situation:

  • India batting first in T20
  • After 6 overs: 48/0 (powerplay)
  • Pitch looks flat, boundaries flowing

Live Betting Opportunity:

  • Pre-match total was “Over/Under 180”
  • Current live total adjusted to “Over/Under 185”
  • You observed excellent batting conditions
  • Bet “Over 185” based on what you’ve seen

This exemplifies live betting’s advantage—real match observations inform decisions rather than predictions.

Chapter 6: Bankroll Management for Beginners

Cricket Day prioritizes responsible use of cricket betting ID services throughout the tournament.

What is Bankroll Management?

Your “bankroll” is the total amount you’ve allocated for betting—separate from living expenses, savings, and other financial obligations.

Fundamental Rule: Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.

Setting Your Bankroll

Step 1: Determine Disposable Income Calculate monthly entertainment budget (movies, dining out, hobbies). Betting should come from this category, not essential expenses.

Step 2: Allocate Betting Budget Decide what percentage of entertainment budget goes to betting. Conservative approach: 20-30%.

Example:

  • Monthly entertainment budget: ₹5,000
  • Betting allocation (25%): ₹1,250
  • This becomes your monthly betting bankroll

Step 3: Divide into Betting Units Break bankroll into smaller “units” for individual bets.

Conservative Approach:

  • Bankroll: ₹1,250
  • Unit size: ₹50 (4% of bankroll)
  • Total units: 25

This means you can place 25 bets of ₹50 each before depleting bankroll.

Unit-Based Betting System

What Are Units? Units are standardized bet sizes based on confidence level, not arbitrary amounts.

Unit System Example:

1 Unit (Low Confidence):

  • Use for experimental bets
  • Testing new markets
  • Lower probability outcomes
  • Stake: ₹50

2 Units (Medium Confidence):

  • Standard bet size
  • Moderate research confidence
  • Most common bet amount
  • Stake: ₹100

3 Units (High Confidence):

  • Strong conviction bets
  • Extensive research supporting prediction
  • Rare occurrences (max 2-3 per week)
  • Stake: ₹150

Never Exceed 5% of Bankroll on Single Bet

This system protects your bankroll from rapid depletion during losing streaks while maximizing returns during winning streaks.

Tracking Your Bets

Why Track?

  • Identify profitable markets and strategies
  • Recognize losing patterns
  • Maintain accountability
  • Improve decision-making over time

What to Track:

DateMatchMarketSelectionOddsStakeResultProfit/LossBankroll
Jan 15IND vs AUSMatch WinnerIndia1.75₹100Won+₹75₹1,325
Jan 16MI vs CSKTop BatsmanRohit Sharma4.50₹50Lost-₹50₹1,275

Analysis After 30 Days:

  • Total bets placed: 25
  • Winning bets: 14 (56% win rate)
  • Losing bets: 11
  • Total profit/loss: +₹425 (34% ROI)
  • Most profitable market: Match Winner (65% win rate)
  • Least profitable market: Top Bowler (35% win rate)

Action: Focus more on profitable markets, reduce exposure to unprofitable ones.

Common Bankroll Mistakes

Chasing Losses

  • Problem: After losing bet, immediately placing larger bet to “recover”
  • Result: Often leads to bigger losses, bankroll depletion
  • Solution: Accept losses, stick to unit system

Betting Too Much Too Soon

  • Problem: Placing 20-30% of bankroll on single bets
  • Result: Few losses wipe out entire bankroll
  • Solution: Never exceed 5% on single bet

Emotional Betting

  • Problem: Betting on favorite teams regardless of odds or situation
  • Result: Biased decisions, poor long-term results
  • Solution: Bet objectively based on analysis, not emotions

No Tracking

  • Problem: No record of bets, wins, losses, or patterns
  • Result: Repeat mistakes, no learning
  • Solution: Maintain detailed betting journal

Chapter 7: Research and Analysis

Essential Research Before Betting

Team Form Analysis

Recent performance indicates current team confidence and strategy effectiveness.

What to Check:

  • Last 5-10 match results
  • Home vs away performance
  • Performance in current format
  • Winning/losing streaks

Example:

India (Last 5 T20Is):

Match 1: Won by 7 wickets vs England

Match 2: Won by 45 runs vs Australia  

Match 3: Lost by 6 runs vs South Africa

Match 4: Won by 8 wickets vs West Indies

Match 5: Won by 23 runs vs Sri Lanka

 

Analysis: 4 wins in last 5 matches, strong T20 form

Player Form and Availability

Individual brilliance often determines match outcomes.

Key Players to Monitor:

  • Opening batsmen (set tone for innings)
  • Middle-order anchors (stabilize innings)
  • All-rounders (provide balance)
  • Strike bowlers (take crucial wickets)
  • Death-over specialists (crucial in T20/ODI)

Factors Affecting Form:

  • Recent scores/wickets
  • Strike rate trends
  • Confidence level
  • Injury concerns
  • International commitments (fatigue)

Head-to-Head Records

Some teams consistently dominate specific opponents.

What to Analyze:

  • Overall win-loss record
  • Recent encounters (last 3-5 matches)
  • Performance at specific venues
  • Format-specific records

Example:

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings (IPL):

Total Matches: 32

MI Wins: 19

CSK Wins: 13

Last 5 Meetings: MI won 3, CSK won 2

At Wankhede Stadium: MI won 7 of 10

 

Analysis: MI has historical advantage, especially at home

Venue and Pitch Conditions

Cricket is uniquely influenced by playing surfaces.

Pitch Types:

Batting Paradise (Flat Pitch):

  • True bounce, minimal seam movement
  • Favors batsmen heavily
  • Expect high scores (180+ in T20, 320+ in ODI)
  • Bet on run-heavy markets
  • Example Venues: Chinnaswamy (Bangalore), Wankhede (Mumbai)

Green Top (Pace-Friendly):

  • Grass coverage, moisture content
  • Assists fast bowlers (seam movement, bounce)
  • Lower scores, frequent wickets
  • Bet on bowling-friendly markets
  • Example Venues: Perth (Australia), Centurion (South Africa)

Dusty Turner (Spin-Friendly):

  • Dry, cracked surface
  • Helps spin bowlers (turn, variable bounce)
  • Moderate scores, spin dominance
  • Bet on spinners, moderate totals
  • Example Venues: Chepauk (Chennai), Feroz Shah Kotla (Delhi)

Weather Considerations

Dew Factor:

  • Evening matches in humid conditions
  • Heavy dew in second innings
  • Ball becomes slippery, hard for bowlers to grip
  • Batting second becomes significantly easier
  • Teams winning toss often bowl first

Overcast Conditions:

  • Cloud cover assists swing bowling
  • Ball moves more in the air
  • Batting becomes challenging
  • Lower scores expected
  • Favor teams with quality pace bowlers

Wind:

  • Strong winds affect ball trajectory
  • Helps batsmen hitting with the wind
  • Makes boundary hitting against wind difficult
  • Affects spin bowling trajectory

Rain:

  • Limited-overs matches: DLS method alters targets
  • Test matches: Time lost affects result probability
  • Interrupt betting patterns (markets suspended)

Chapter 8: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Betting Mistakes Beginners Make

1. Betting on Every Match

Mistake: Placing bets on every available match without proper analysis.

Why It’s Wrong:

  • Impossible to research every match thoroughly
  • Leads to impulsive, uninformed decisions
  • Depletes bankroll rapidly
  • Reduces overall win rate

Solution:

  • Be selective—bet on 3-5 matches per week maximum
  • Focus on tournaments and teams you know well
  • Only bet when you have genuine conviction
  • Quality over quantity always wins

2. Ignoring Odds Value

Mistake: Betting on favorites without considering if odds offer value.

Why It’s Wrong:

  • Low odds on favorites provide minimal returns
  • Requires very high win rate to profit
  • One loss wipes out several winning bets
  • Doesn’t capitalize on market inefficiencies

Example:

Bad Bet: India to beat Bangladesh at 1.15 odds

– ₹1,000 bet returns only ₹150 profit

– Need to win 7 times to recover from 1 loss

– Not worth the risk

Better Bet: India to win by 50+ runs at 1.90 odds  

– ₹1,000 bet returns ₹900 profit

– Need to win 2 times to recover from 1 loss

– Better risk-reward ratio

Solution:

  • Always assess odds value, not just likely winners
  • Calculate implied probability vs your assessment
  • Look for undervalued underdogs occasionally
  • Avoid very low odds unless extremely confident

3. Chasing Losses

Mistake: After losing, immediately betting larger amounts to recover losses quickly.

Why It’s Wrong:

  • Emotional, not analytical decision-making
  • Often results in even bigger losses
  • Spirals into desperation betting
  • Depletes bankroll rapidly

Scenario:

Initial Loss: ₹500 on Match 1

Chase Bet: ₹1,000 on Match 2 (trying to recover + profit)

Result: Lost ₹1,000

Total Loss: ₹1,500

Desperation Bet: ₹2,000 on Match 3

Result: Lost ₹2,000

Total Loss: ₹3,500 from initial ₹500 loss!

Solution:

  • Accept losses as part of betting
  • Stick to your unit system regardless of results
  • Take breaks after significant losses
  • Never bet emotionally

4. Betting on Favorite Teams

Mistake: Always betting on teams you support, ignoring odds and analysis.

Why It’s Wrong:

  • Emotional attachment clouds judgment
  • Biased evaluation of team chances
  • Overlook opponent strengths
  • Poor long-term profitability

Solution:

  • Bet objectively based on analysis
  • Avoid betting on your favorite team unless analysis supports it
  • Sometimes bet against your team if logic dictates
  • Separate fan emotions from betting decisions

5. Not Shopping for Best Odds

Mistake: Accepting first odds seen without comparison.

Why It’s Wrong:

  • Even small odds differences compound over time
  • Miss opportunities for better returns
  • Leave money on table unnecessarily

Example:

Platform A: India to win at 1.75

Platform B: India to win at 1.82

Platform C: India to win at 1.78

₹1,000 bet returns:

Platform A: ₹1,750 (₹750 profit)

Platform B: ₹1,820 (₹820 profit)

Platform C: ₹1,780 (₹780 profit)

Platform B offers ₹70 more profit (9.3% better)

Over 100 bets, that’s ₹7,000 difference!

Solution:

  • Compare odds across multiple exchanges
  • CricketDay partners with multiple exchanges
  • Spend 2 minutes comparing for better returns
  • Small differences create big long-term impact

Chapter 9: Developing Your Betting Strategy

Starting with Simple Strategies

Match Winner Strategy

Focus exclusively on match winner markets for first month.

Advantages:

  • Simplest market to understand
  • Extensive information available
  • Clear outcomes

Research Checklist:

  • Team current form (last 5 matches)

  • Venue characteristics
  • Recent news or developments

Decision Framework:

IF team has won 4+ of last 5 matches

AND has positive head-to-head record

AND no key player injuries

AND favorable venue conditions

THEN consider betting at odds above 1.70

Favorites vs Underdogs Strategy

When to Bet Favorites:

  • Consistent recent form
  • Significant quality difference
  • Home advantage
  • Odds above 1.60 (offers reasonable value)

When to Bet Underdogs:

  • Favorites overvalued by public sentiment
  • Underdog recent form improving
  • Specific favorable conditions (pitch suits their style)
  • Odds above 2.50 (good risk-reward)

Intermediate Strategies

Player Performance Focus

Specialize in player-based markets.

Top Batsman Strategy:

  • Research batting positions (openers face most balls)
  • Current form (scores in last 5 innings)
  • Venue history (some players dominate specific grounds)
  • Opposition bowling quality
  • Match situation (team batting first/second affects approach)

Top Bowler Strategy:

  • Powerplay specialists vs death-over specialists
  • Spin-friendly vs pace-friendly conditions
  • Opposition batting weaknesses
  • Bowler workload and fatigue

Format-Specific Strategies

T20 Cricket:

  • High variance (unpredictable outcomes)
  • Individual brilliance wins matches
  • Powerplay and death overs crucial
  • Live betting opportunities abundant
  • Smaller unit sizes recommended (higher risk)

ODI Cricket:

  • More predictable than T20
  • Partnerships matter more than individual innings
  • Middle overs often decisive
  • Chasing teams benefit from knowing target
  • Moderate unit sizes appropriate

Test Cricket:

  • Most predictable format
  • Pitch deterioration over 5 days
  • Draws common with rain
  • Session betting provides value
  • Larger unit sizes possible (lower variance)
