Gone are the days of being restricted to betting on cricket games before the action begins. Now punters can bet in play on matches, with everything from T20 games up to five-day test matches available for anyone to bet on as and when they like.
In play betting has simply transformed the way people can bet on many different sports, but cricket in particular is perfectly suited to betting in play, across all formats.
From betting after a big over in a T20 game to betting after the first day of play or first innings in a test match, there are many choices open for you.
Betting is very similar when you are doing it in play, there is nothing much to learn, other than you place your bets while the game is taking place and you need to be quick to ensure you get the price before something happens in the game.
In Play Betting in T20 Games
The fast paced nature of T20 games inbig leagues such as the IPL mean that games can dramatically change over by over.
A strong over from either team can see in play betting odds change rapidly, getting your bet on at the right time before this happens can give you a great deal on your bet, while betting at the wrong time will bring poor value.
The appeal of T20 cricket is certainly based around excitement and betting in play is also seen as exciting, which is why the two are a perfect match.
With so many international T20 games and the domestic leagues we have around the world, those betting in play on T20 games know the next event is always just around the corner.
Betting During Play in Test Matches
At the moment the Indian test team is not playing, though keeping an eye on thelatest news from India will let you know when they are back in action.
The reason why in play betting on test matches is so popular is because of the length of these games. They last for up to five days, but depending on how you bet, you may see your bet lost in the first day or two.
This leaves a gap in the match where you have no bet on, but one that in play betting can fill. You also have the option to not bet before the game, and use the in play markets to study the pitch and how things are playing, which will give you a better idea of where your funds should be placed.
In Play Betting Markets
With in play betting becoming very popular with a lot of sports fans, it is important to find a bookmaker that offers this type of betting.When choosing bookmakers online, make sure they accept in play bets from their customers on cricket.
Then you need to look at the betting markets they offer. You should find general markets that you can bet on before play such as who will win, which player will score the most and who will take the most wickets.
Then look out for markets that are specifically designed for in play betting only.
These include betting on when the next wicket will fall, what the score will be when the next wicket falls and match betting between the two batsmen at the crease.
With many games taking place around the year in different formats and some great in play betting markets to use, in play betting and cricket are seemingly going hand in hand right now.
