Cricket Betting ID Explained: What It Is and How It Works

Exchange vs bookmaker

On an exchange you bet against other users: you can back an outcome or lay it. A bookmaker sets a price and takes the other side itself. Exchange prices move constantly because they reflect what other people are willing to accept.

Reading cricket odds

Decimal odds of 1.80 return 1.80 times your stake including the stake if the bet wins. Prices under 2.00 mean the market sees that outcome as more likely than not.

Markets you will see

Match winner, innings runs, top batter, method of dismissal, over-by-over lines and session markets. Not every market is open for every fixture; availability depends on the competition.

Settlement

Markets settle once the official result is confirmed. If a match is abandoned or a market is voided, stakes on that market are returned.
