The Rewarding World of Cricket Betting

There’s not much that Kiwis love more than a game of Cricket– it’s the official national summer sport of New Zealand, after all.Although it was played even before the 1500s, this is when it really became popular. The first international contests are thought to have been held in 1844, and they were first officially recorded in 1877.

As you'd expect for a game that has been around for so long, there have been several modifications to the rules and other refinements over the years. This only makes Cricket more interesting to watch, play and punt on. The 3 formats that you can bet on here at Spin Sports are One Day International, Test Matches and Twenty20 games.

These are still the most common wagers at our sportsbook, and involve you making predictions before a game begins. If you're a new punter, it's advisable to go for the Draw/No Draw offers on single games, as they return your bet to you in the case of a tie. This offers a little more security.

In terms of tournaments, you can put money on which side will win each game, and the overall victors. The ever-popular Totals wagers, seen in so many sports, are also available for Cricket. Here, you’ll need to say whether the final combined score will be greater or less than a particular figure.

If you know the specific athletes and how they've been performing, you can try your hand at predicting who will be named Man of the Match, Top Bowler or Top Batsman. Check the bowling and batting statistics very carefully first!

Live betting involves placing and adjusting your stakes while a game is in progress, as the action unfolds. This allows you to react to what is actually happening on the field, so you can maximise your wins and minimise your losses, as the odds shift accordingly.

You can still wager on who will win and on Totals, as well as what a team's total runs will be, how many runs a specific player will score, how the next wicket is going to fall, and how the next player to leave the field will be dismissed. As you can imagine, being able to watch what is happening in real time is very beneficial with these bets. Add the superb odds and bonuses that we offer at our sportsbook, and the chance to bet on your mobile, and you’ll be hit for 6!
