One of the most popular sports in the world, cricket’s governing bodies are making a concerted effort to attract new fans in countries where the sport is not yet established.
As a result, more bettors are showing an interest in placing cricket wagers.
How to Bet on Cricket Online in Canada
Bettors can place cricket wagers at the BetMGM sportsbook.
A wide range of cricket betting odds are available, covering match winner markets, futures, parlays, and player props.
How to Bet Cricket Futures
A cricket futures bet is a wager on the overall winner of a competition or series. These bets can be placed several months or even years in advance.
For example, a bettor may want to back England to win the next World Cup long before the groups are confirmed. The odds on cricket futures markets are constantly updated depending on team performance, injury news, and various other factors.
How to Bet Cricket Parlays
Cricket parlays are when multiple selections are combined into a single wager. All of the selections in a parlay need to hit for the bet to pay out. Due to this, longer odds are available when constructing a parlay.
For example, a parlay could contain Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings to win, with Jos Buttler finishing as the top scorer in his match. Both teams would need to win, and Buttler would need to have the most runs for the bet to pay out.
How to Bet on Live Cricket
Live cricket bets can be placed at BetMGM.
Making a live cricket bet is an easy process. Bettors simply have to identify the market they want to wager on and decide on their stake to place the bet.
This could be a wager on which team will win the match, how many runs will be scored in the next over, or how one of the current batters will be dismissed.
How to Bet on Player Props
Cricket player props are increasing in popularity. Player props for cricket are primarily focused on the number of runs a batter scores or how many wickets a bowler takes.
The “top bowler” and “top batter” markets are focused on the best player on each team. For example, a bet on Joe Root to be England’s top batter means he will be their highest run scorer in a given innings.
Alternatively, a bettor could wager on Pat Cummins to be Australia’s top bowler. The wager would pay out if Cummins led the Aussies in wickets.
