Live Cricket Betting in India

Live cricket betting or in-play betting means that bettors place bets on a match which is currently in progress, unlike pre-match betting, where bets are placed before the game starts. Live betting offers to bet on a bigger number of betting markets with continuously updated odds, which reflect the changing situation of the game. Also, due to the live streams of  matches and to the live statistics, bettors can make more informed decisions, as well as get an extra layer of excitement of the game.

Live cricket betting or as it is also known as in-play betting may seem to be similar to pre-match betting, except the fact that bets are placed while a match is in progress, however live betting on cricket is different. Here’s how it works:

• Real-Time Betting. Bets are placed during the whole match while it is in progress. As the game progresses, odds are continuously updated based on the current situation, so a bettor must be always concentrated not only on the match, but also on the odds.
• Dynamic Odds. The odds in live cricket betting are constantly updated depending on the results of the match. For example, if a team loses wickets, the odds for their win can be increased. 
• Quick Decisions. Live betting on cricket  requires quick decision-making since odds change rapidly during the match. Usually bettors have only about 10-20 seconds to make a decision and place a bet.
• Wide Range of Markets. Live cricket betting offers more extensive betting markets to choose from and bet on. 
• Streaming and Updates. Live betting requires bettors to check not only the odds, but follow the game and its statistics to stay informed and make decisions based on the results of the match. Many live cricket betting sites in India, as well as live cricket betting apps provide live streams of events and live statistics. 
• Cash Out. More and more bookmakers offer a cash-out function which allows you to settle your bet before the match ends, so you can minimize your potential losses or secure winnings, based on the current state of the match’s results. 

Live-cricket betting requires not only a good understanding of the game, but much more skills, such as concentration, multitasking, quick decision-making, and others.

Live cricket betting offers various betting markets you can place a bet on, thus providing more opportunities and chances to win, as well as higher odds in comparison to the pre-match betting. Below are presented the most popular types of bets among bettors:

• Winner of the match or tournament. This is one of the most popular types of bets which can be found anywhere. In this bet you simply have to predict which team will become a winner. For test matches you also have a third option which is a draw.
• Winner of the toss. Every match in any event begins with a coin toss, which determines which team will bat or bowl first. In this bet, rather than using your betting skills, you have to use your luck to predict the winner of the toss. 
• Top Bowler or Top Batsman. In this bet you have to predict which bowler will finish with the greatest number of wickets and which batsman will score the most number of runs during the match. 
• Most Sixes. Here you have to predict which team will score the most sixes during a match.
• Highest Opening Partnership. In this bet you have to predict which batting pair among the opening batsmen will score the most runs before losing their first wicket. This bet focuses on the partnership’s performance in runs scored and is determined by the total runs made by the batsmen before any of them gets out.
• Over/Under. This is a bet on whether a total runs/goals/points scored by teams will be less or more that a specified number.

When you bet on any sports, the most important indicator is odds, as it directly influences the amount of your potential winnings: the higher the odds, the bigger the winnings. In comparison to pre-match betting, live betting on cricket offers higher odds, that is why it is more profitable for you as a bettor. Also, if you have any bonus which must be wagered with odds 1.45 or higher, then live betting is a perfect option.

Odds also reflect how likely an event will happen: the lower the odds, the more likely an outcome will happen.

There are some tips which can help you to make more confident bets and increase a chance of winning. They are as follow: 

• Know the ins and outs of the game, which means you should know not only the basic rules, but terms and other aspects as well. 
• Analyze teams and players. Before you bet on a live match, try to make a small research on teams and players, check its statistics and previous games. 
• Read different experts’ predictions on the upcoming match.
• Examine such conditions as weather, ground and pitch. 
• Bet on various betting markets to try different odds.
