In this article I will be discussing how to bet on Cricket matches. There are two main domestic leagues that I shall be discussing; this is the English County championship division one and the Indian Premier league.

The English County championship can be looked upon as the cricket equivalent of the English football premiership. The friends Providence Trophy is regarded in similar terms as the football FA Cup.

The IPL in India is gaining popularity around the world and there are now just as many betting markets available for these matches as there are for the English county matches. The IPL has many great players competing, because of the huge popularity in the sport in India, Indian cricket teams are prepared to pay huge sums for cricketing talent.

Of course there are many different domestic leagues all over the world, but we shall concentrate on the English and Indian leagues. Both of these leagues are featured on Sky Sports, so these are easy to follow.

The County teams include: Derbyshire, Durham, Glamorgan, Essex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire, Northants, Somerset, Sussex, Surrey, Yorkshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

The IPL teams include: Deccan Chargers, Royal challengers Bangalore, Delhi daredevils, Chennai super Kings, Kings Xi Punjab, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders.

There are many pre-match bets and in play bets to choose from. Because these competitions are league based you can place bets on overall winners and things like top batsman.

Some basic betting advice:

Weather conditions:

You should not undervalue the weather, this especially applies to test matches. Keep in mind that rain can have a massive influence on how the matches completed. There are many different situations where the weather, especially rain can affect matches outcome. If the team has put on a poor batting performance, they will hope for rain in order to save the test and gain a draw.

Injuries to players:

As in all sports, injuries are very common in cricket. Players spend several hours on the field of play and this can lead to fatigue and injury. It is not uncommon. The key players to be withdrawn shortly before matches. If you're betting make sure that you are well aware of any key player injuries, and who has been put forward to replace them.

Overall form and team confidence:

Confidence can play a key part of the Cricketers. Players that have been high-scoring, will be high on confidence just like in any other sport. Look out for high-scoring batsmen and high wicket taking bowlers.

Beware of the rules:

When betting always make sure you are aware of the rules of the market that you are betting in. There is a popular story, about a German punter who rang up Betfair complaining that his cricket bet hadn't been settled. He was shocked to learn that he had bet on a sport that takes several weeks to play.
