As with any other sport, Cricket also has its unique common bet types that are popular among bettors. The main bet types that can be found in almost every betting platform are winner bets, total runs, first inner, winner, and each and other market categories offered by the Bet365 sportsbook.
Match Winner
As the purpose of every sport is to find out the winner, it was always the main object of discussion among fans. This is the reason that match-winner bets are the most well-known, popular, and basic betting markets that are offered in any team-based or individual sports by bookmakers around the world.
All you have to do is pick the winner between the competitors. There are also combinations with other bets, such as win and total score, win the half/game, etc.
Highest Opening Partnership
The highest opening partnership is unique to Cricket. The highest first partnership simply refers to which of the two teams playing a game will score the most runs before losing their first wicket. In T20 or One Day International Cricket, this means the first wicket to be taken, whilst in Test Cricket, it refers to the first wicket to fall in the first innings.
Accumulator Bets
The accumulator bet is a common type of bet where you choose multiple events that are not related and combine them in one bet. The odds for the bet will be the multiplication of all the odds of the selected events. For example, if you combine bets with odds like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 1.8, the odds for your accumulator bet will be 13.5. The bet will win only if the bettor guesses all events correctly, so if you lose one, you will lose the whole bet.
Accumulators are among the most popular bet types among bettors, as it allows to get higher coefficients by combining events and using different strategies to maximize the win.
