Cricket Spread Bets

Cricket is also a hugely popular market in spread betting terms. Bets on individuals, teams and match totals in individual games and long term markets on whole test series make up the majority of all cricket bets.

Highest or Lowest Innings Score

These two markets are based on the highest or lowest number of runs either side will score in an innings during the course of a Test Series.

Innings Supremacy

A prediction on which team will score the most runs in a particular innings. For example, a quote may be given as "Warwickshire / Surrey 5-25", meaning that Warwickshire is predicted to score 5-25 runs more than Surrey.

Individual Batsman Series Runs

Back or oppose the performance of individually quoted batsmen throughout a Test Series. If you believe someone will accumulate more runs than the spread firm's prediction, buy at the higher end of their quote. If you think an individual will struggle and make fewer runs, then sell at the lower level of the quote.

Individual Bowlers Series Wickets

This is a market predicting the number of wickets individual bowlers will take in a Series.

Bowler Match

A prediction on how many wickets a particular bowler will take than another. 10 points are given to the bowler who takes the most wickets, plus 3 points for each extra wicket taken.

Win Index

The winning team will receive 25 points, losing team 0 points. In the case of a draw both teams will receive 10pts. A quote may be given as "Surrey Win Index 9.5 - 11.0".
