Important Considerations When Betting on Cricket
Statistics
Everything that happens in cricket is statistically significant, meaning that cricket punters often have more information at their disposal than people who bet on other sports. Do your own research, check out all the statistics you can, and draw your own conclusions from those statistics to find the best bets on each market in each match.
Then place only those bets that you believe offer the best value and probability of winning.
Weather
Always keep an eye on the weather when betting on a cricket match. Bad weather means a lack of quality play in most cases, and this can have a huge impact on how the game plays out. Even the different weather conditions in which cricket can be played take their toll. Matches with sunny conditions often favour the batsman, while overcast conditions favour the bowlers.
Different disciplines = different results
There are so many forms of the game these days, so it is important to differentiate between each discipline. Some teams may have a great run in Twenty20 cricket, but will struggle in Test matches. And other teams may be really good when it comes to ODIs, but their form may be poor in Twenty20.
Some teams will have fairly similar form regardless of the form of cricket they play, and knowing which game suits them, which team is key to choosing the best bets, never assume that form from one discipline will translate to another.
