Cricket Betting at puntit UK

Born in England in the 16th century, cricket now has millions of followers worldwide. If you're one of them, you can make your match day more interesting with cricket betting at puntit. We offer you competitive odds on popular domestic and international series and tournaments. Whether you enjoy the ICC World Cup or the Ashes, you can bet on a good range of markets and game/player props. You'll also love our live betting options and odds boosts.

Cricket Betting Odds

Want to bet on who'll win the match or even the tournament? You can do both with our pre-match and in-play betting markets with the best odds. Aside from the match winner (moneyline) and outright winner (futures) markets, we offer odds on runs in specific overs (over/under), runs in the first 25/30 overs, runs by a specific batter, and method of dismissal.

You can customise your odds format to the one you're most comfortable with. Here's how you read each odd type:

  • Fractional: You win £2.50 on a £1 bet at odds of 2.50.
  • Decimal: At 5/2 odds, you win £5 for every £2 bet.
  • American: -170 odds mean you wager £170 to win £100, and +200 odds mean you win £200 on a £100 bet. Positives are for favourites, and negatives denote underdogs.

What Are the Basic Rules of Cricket?

One of the best cricket betting tips from puntit is to know your game before you place your stakes. So, let's check out how the game is played:

  • Teams and Players: The game is played between two teams of 11. The winner of the toss decides whether their team will bat or bowl.
  • Scoring Runs: Batters can score runs by either running between the wickets or hitting boundaries (4s and 6s). The total runs they accumulate in an inning is the team's score.
  • Dismissals: Bowlers can dismiss a batter (get a wicket) by getting them bowled, caught, run out, or LBW-ed. Ten wickets end an inning.
  • Overs: Six legal deliveries bowled make an over. The number of overs in an inning depends on the game format.
  • Match Formats: One-Day Internationals (ODIs) are played in 50 overs per team, while Twenty20 matches (T20) consist of 20 overs per team. Overs aren't limited in test matches, which are played over five days with two innings per team.
