Hailing from the forests of England, cricket has become a worldwide favourite with domestic and international competitions spreading all over the globe. From the Cricket World Cup to The Ashes, the resounding clonk of leather slapping willow gets cricket fans in the spirit as players run for their lives between wickets. This rush is what drives cricket betting all over the world.

Luckily, Parimatch is dedicated to drumming up that same adrenalin rush for bettors and cricket punters placing cricket bets straight from your smart device.

Providing competitive odds and an impressive array of cricket betting opportunities, Parimatch’s sports betting app offers a wealth of international and domestic cricket tournaments for cricket punters in Tanzania to sink their teeth into.

What Are the Best Odds to Bet on Cricket?

One of the best things about betting on cricket, is that the odds are relatively high. This is especially true when it comes to betting on international competitions. For most punters placing cricket bets, you’ll find that moneyline bets are the most popular form of cricket bet. This type of cricket betting involves selecting the winner of a certain game.

The trick to understanding who to bet on involves knowing how cricket betting odds work. Luckily for cricket punters, Parimatch uses a simple decimal odds system, making it far easier to identify the best odds.

But what does “the best odds” even mean? The best odds refer to the bets where the chances of winning are fair and the potential profit is fruitful. In order to find a solid cricket bet, you need to have a good chance of winning the bet and a decent profit if you win. This balance is the key to finding the best cricket betting odds. Thankfully, the cricket odds on the Parimatch app are extremely competitive, making cricket betting far more prosperous.

The first thing to understand about odds is that decimal odds will show you both how likely you are to win the bet and how much you will win if the bet pays out. In cricket betting, the likelihood of you winning a bet is known as implied probability. When you are looking for a good bet, you want cricket betting odds with a relatively good percentage of implied probability.

Interestingly though, where some soccer matches may have 95%+ implies probability, cricket matches don’t tend to be so certain about the favourites. In this sense, you want to compare the implied probability to the other teams.

The quick way to understand who the favourite teams are is to look at the decimal odds. Low odds imply that a team is likely to win. High odds imply that a team is the underdog. The higher the odds, the less likely they are to win.

In order to work out the implied probability, you divide 100 by the odds. Let’s look at the odds in a match between the two Australian teams, Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat

• Melbourne Stars — 1.68
• Brisbane Heat — 2.11

The implied probability of Melbourne Stars winning is about 59.5%, while for Brisbane Heat is it about 47.4%. So, the lower the odds, the more likely a team is to win.

The second thing the odds show is how much you can possibly make from a bet. If you place a 10,000 TZS on Melbourne Stars and the team wins, you’ll get 10,000 TZS x 1.68 = 16,800 TZ, which would bring you 6,800 TZS of profit. Betting the same sum on Brisbane Heat, you might get 21,100 TZS back with a profit of 11,100 TZS.

So, the good idea is to bet on a team that is likely to win and where the payout is significant at the same time.
