Cricket is an international sport, so cricket betting is big business.
The most popular cricket events are the Test series (especially when played between two of the Test-playing nations, or a World Cup tournament), and no rivalry is more heated than that between Australia and England.
ODI cricket is relatively young in comparison to Test cricket, with Australia and England pioneering the game in 1971. The Melbourne Cricket Ground staged both landmark matches.
Cricket is a statistically rich game, like baseball, making it easy for sportsbooks to offer hundreds of cricket odds on games, series, and competitions. Before the advent of online sportsbooks, it was impossible to bet on anything other than the basic result of a Test cricket, one-day international cricket, or domestic cricket match. Today, online sportsbooks bring a multitude of cricket betting propositions, with exotic prop bets on all possible outcomes. For example, a bettor can wager on a specific player taking more wickets than anyone else in a series, or a specific player to be awarded the man-of-the-match trophy in a Test match. |
