Cricket Betting In India
While if you are in India, and looking to do some online betting on cricket, you will be pleased to know we have plenty of information on e-wallets, which is helpful if you are looking to open accounts with bookmakers, who don’t have Rupees as an accepted currency – which is pretty much all of the European based bookmakers.
Not everybody’s needs are suited by one bookmaker, which is why we have a variation of the best betting sites to choose from. Once you have selected your bookmaker to bet on cricket, you are ready to go. Check out the list of all upcoming International cricket fixtures here, to help you select the matches you wish to bet on.
Cricket Betting Tips
Betting on cricket is huge, and so are cricket tips and predictions. Here we will bring you cricket tips, and point you in the direction of good tipsters, and good tipping sites. We will also bring you our own cricket betting tips in our regular blog posts.
Betfair Cricket Trading Tips
One of our favourite betting tools here is trading matches before they start on the Betfair Betting Exchange. While this is hard to tip, we will endeavour to show you how it’s done.
It’s quite easy to trade price movements on any international cricket match, whether it be Test, ODI, or T20, pre match. The price movements available are incredible.
This also applies to the majority of the franchise and domestic T20 league around the world. Especially the Indian Premier League (IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), the T20 Blast, and women’s T20 leagues. The opportunities are endless here, and with upwards of 50 matches played in some T20 leagues, just a small amount of profit a match can soon add up. We firmly believe that this is the best way forward.
Depositing To Bookmakers
Depending on what country you live in, depositing to bookmakers can vary from being very simple, to being very complicated. If you live in the country of your bookies chosen currency, then it is generally a fairly simple process.
For example, most of the bookmakers listed on here are UK based, and trade in Sterling and Euros. So if you live in the UK or Republic of Ireland, it’s an easy process.
Bookmakers don’t always cater for differing currencies though. The best way around the currency problem is to use an e-wallet. Using an e-wallet allows you to deposit money in your own currency, and then automatically exchange it for the desired currency you require.
The main reliable companies that offer an e-wallet system are Skrill, Paypal and Neteller.
For example, you live in Japan, and use the Japanese Yen. You wish to deposit to a bookmaker that uses Sterling in the UK. To do this, you would simply deposit an amount of Japanese Yen, into your e-wallet. You then exchange that amount to UK Pounds Sterling within your e-wallet, and then deposit it into your UK bookmakers account from your e-wallet.
Online Cricket Betting
Online cricket betting has been growing for years, and there are now loads of different bookmakers to choose from to bet on cricket with. They offer markets on just about everything, including top run scorers, most sixes, completed match, etc. You can also bet pre match or in-running, and on Test matches, ODIs, T20s, almost anything.
Mobile Cricket Betting
Betting on cricket by mobile or tablet has just exploded over the past few years. Any bookmaker not mobile enabled will be left behind. As a result, the bookmakers have all made their sites mobile friendly, with most offering you the chance to bet on their mobile website, or to download their app and use that instead. The choice is yours, it is whatever your preference is.
As a result of this, Cricket Betting Blog is also now mobile enabled. Meaning you can find all the resources you need to bet on cricket on this website, both online and on your mobile device.
