Cricket Betting: New Line Markets now Available

Author

Betfair

Our new Cricket line markets are now available exclusively on the Betfair Exchange mobile app!

If you enjoy betting on cricket markets like Innings Runs and Over Totals, then Betfair’s new cricket line markets may just be the thing for you.

On these markets you can bet on the total number of runs in a given interval just like Innings Runs and Over Totals; however the difference between these new markets and traditional markets is these markets are indexed by the runs (the line), not by the price – the price will always remain $2!

You will notice that the colour of the boxes is green and not the traditional pink and blue like the rest of the Betfair Exchange. This is because the markets are quite different from backing and laying, instead you are betting whether the runs go over or under.

Another benefit of these markets is that they always give you the opportunity to bet on the most relevant line in-play at a hugely competitive 2.0 price.

So if you think your team is going well and on track to score a few runs in the first few overs, then place your bet on Over 65.5 runs and get matched at odds of $2. Simple as the game of cricket itself.

Watch out for these new, mobile-only markets which will be available from the start of this year’s Indian Premier League.
