Cricket Tips

Making Money from cricket betting requires little more than an ability to pick winning teams. This isn’t the easiest of tasks, but if you go about it in the right way you could well find that it’s not nearly as difficult as most people imagine.

Try following our tried-and-tested tips for finding winners to get yourself off to the best possible start...

Follow Form
Rather than betting according to your hunches and gut instincts, try following form. This basically means looking at how teams have performed in their most recent matches and then giving preference to those that have been winning whilst avoiding those that have been losing. Make it a rule only to bet on teams that won their previous match and you could instantly put yourself onto a winning track.

Think Like A Bookmaker
If you were a cricket bookmaker, how would you decide what odds to offer for each team? In most cases, you would figure out who you expect to win and then offer the lowest odds for these teams, only offering bigger odds on the teams you think have less chance of success. And guess what? That’s exactly what the bookies do. This means you only need to look at the teams offered at the shortest odds to see who the bookie thinks will win. If you agree, why not bet on you both being right?

Don’t Get Greedy
Having just said that modest odds mean more likely winners, it is a good idea to avoid placing bets where the potential payout is huge but your chance of winning is small. The most reliable bet if you want to win regularly is a single bet on the outcome of an individual match. More challenging bets, such as doubles, trebles and larger accumulators, or stating when the first wicket will fall, are loved by bookies because they have a much higher chance of losing. The moral? Don’t get greedy. Stick to single bets on individual matches if you want to win regularly.
