Cricket, it is fair to say, is not one of the most popular sports in the Emerald Isle, but it is one that is constantly growing in popularity due to the fact that the Irish cricket team are forever improving.

It is also one of those sports that seems to lend itself to sports betting in Ireland as there are markets for every aspect of the game. If you are considering doing a spot of online cricket betting, then Betiton have got you covered. The guide below will tell you all that you need to know about placing bets on this wonderful sport.

Cricket Betting Odds at Betiton Ireland

There are three main formats for odds at all of the top betting sites and these are fractional, American, and decimal.

Here at Betiton, you can choose whichever format is your favourite in the top right, but the default is decimal.

We recommend those who are new to betting on cricket to stick to decimal odds as they are the easiest to understand.

When it comes to decimal odds, the number indicates the total payout and not your total profit.

To put it another way, your stake will already be included, so the total payout calculation is much easier. For instance, if you place a €20 stake with odds of 3.00 and you win, you will get €60 back in total – a €40 profit and your €20 stake.

ICC Cricket World Cup

The biggest international tournament in the cricket world, and it occurs every four years. It is a one-day competition, which means that each team gets 50 overs (300 balls) to score as many runs as they can in a match.

The tournament usually lasts around seven weeks, and it is full of entertainment and drama. There is a lot of money place on cricket world cup betting when this tournament is taking place.

Australia are the most successful team, having won the title six times – they are the current World Champions, having won the 2023 edition. India, West Indies, Pakistan, England, and Sri Lanka are the only other teams to have won it at least once.

ICC T20 Cricket World Cup

Cricket is unique in the sense that it has two World Cups, but this one is a shorter one since each team is given just 20 overs (120 balls) to put as big a score on the board as they can.

In the shorter formats of this sport, every ball is an occasion, which is why millions of people all over the world are glued to their television screens when it is being played. The last edition took place in 2022, and England lifted the trophy.

The Ashes

For those who support England or Australia, the Ashes is one of the biggest events in international cricket. There has always been a huge rivalry between these two nations in sports, but it seems a lot fiercer when they step out onto a cricket field together.

The Ashes have seen some of the most memorable moments in cricket such as Ricky Ponting going berserk at getting run out by a substitute fielder, Freddie Flintoff’s completely unplayable over, or the ball of the century by the late Shane Warne.

In 1882, England were defeated by Australia in their own back yard, and the English press acted like it was the end of the world. They declared English cricket dead and that its Ashes were being taken back to Australia. The following year, England went Down Under to reclaim “the Ashes” and did just that.

Indian Premier League

The Indian Premier League, also called the IPL, first started in 2007 and it has since gone on to become one of the most popular cricket competitions. All of the best T20 players from around the world are drawn to it due to the riches that are on offer, while the fans are drawn to the entertainment and drama as well as the IPL cricket betting opportunities.

The Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings are the most successful teams with five wins each, with the latter being the current champions.

ICC World Test Championship

The ICC wanted to increase interest in Test cricket, so they decided to create a league competition for this format. The 9 current Test-playing nations play a series of matches against some of the other nations, and the two teams that finish at the top of the table then play in a final to see who wins the title.

The first edition took place in 2019-2021 and was won by New Zealand, while the 2021-2023 edition was won by Australia. India finished as the runners-up in both editions.

Big Bash League

This is another highly popular T20 tournament that is played in Australia in the months of December, January, and February. Just like with the Indian Premier League, all of the top T20 players from across the globe travel to Australia to put on an entertaining show for cricket fans from all over the world.

The Perth Scorchers have had the most success with five trophies, while the Sydney Sixers have three titles to their name. The Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Renegades, Brisbane Heat, and Sydney Thunder have one win apiece.

Cricket Betting Tips by Betiton Ireland

Now that you know about some of the most popular markets for cricket match betting, we are now going to provide you with some top online cricket betting tips that you should keep in mind when you are betting on cricket.

  • Pay attention to form – It is always important to pay attention to form, and if a team is on a losing streak, then we would not recommend betting on them to win.
  • Know the players – You need to know the players for a team that you are thinking about betting on so that you know whether they are key players. If a team is missing a number of key players, it is wise not to bet on them.
  • Consider weather conditions – The weather has a huge impact on a game of cricket, so check the forecast before you start placing bets. Remember that sunny conditions are better for batters and overcast conditions are better for bowlers.
  • Make use of live betting – Sometimes it is wise to wait until a match has begun before you bet on it as it gives you time to get a better idea as to how things might play out.
