Cricket at a Glance — For New Users
What is cricket in the context of sports betting?
Cricket is a team sport played between two sides of 11 players each. In betting, you predict the match result, total runs, or individual player performance. Cricket is played across multiple formats — each with its own duration and style of play, which in turn shapes the types of betting markets available.
Why is cricket popular for betting in Asia?
Cricket has a massive following in South Asia and is gaining traction in Malaysia. International matches feature teams from India, Pakistan, Australia, England and more — sides with a strong fanbase among 812 users. The shorter T20 format also means betting results are typically known within three to four hours.
Two Key Concepts Before You Start Betting
Understanding these two concepts will help you read cricket betting markets with greater accuracy and confidence.
- Run Rate
- Run rate refers to the average number of runs a team scores per over. It is calculated by dividing the total runs scored by the number of overs played. A team with a high run rate is considered more aggressive and more likely to post a large total. Example: Team A scores 120 runs in 20 overs, giving them a run rate of 6.0 runs per over.
- Wicket
- A wicket refers to a batsman being dismissed by the fielding side. The fielding team must take 10 wickets to end the opposing team's innings. In betting markets, the number of wickets to fall within a set period is commonly used as the basis for various side bet types. Example: A bet on "5 wickets in the first 10 overs" means you are predicting that the fielding side will take 5 wickets during the early phase of the match.
Match Formats and Commonly Searched Markets
Cricket is played in three main formats. Each has its own duration, scoring structure, and betting market types. Here is a quick overview to help you decide which format suits your style best.
| Format | Match Duration | Main Markets | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test | Up to 5 days | Match winner, innings total runs, player of the match | Players who follow the full match and want in-depth analysis |
| ODI (One Day International) | All day (50 overs per side) | Match winner, total runs, run rate, first wicket | Players who want a bet settled within the same day |
| T20 | 3–4 hours (20 overs per side) | Match winner, first six, highest-scoring over, top run scorer | Players who want quick results and dynamic betting |
Five Most Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Beyond picking the match winner, cricket bettors on 812 typically explore a variety of markets that offer different angles on the game. Here are five key sub-markets commonly available.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which team will win the match. Available across all formats including Test, ODI and T20. Odds reflect each team's strength and recent form.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
Predict whether the total runs scored in a match or within a set period (e.g. the first 10 overs) will be over or under a specified value. This market is popular in T20 due to how quickly the score can change.
Top Run Scorer
Predict which player will score the most runs in a match or innings. This market is ideal for those who follow individual player performance closely.
First Wicket to Fall
Pick which opening batsman will lose their wicket first. An engaging market for players who follow team batting line-ups and early match strategy.
Live In-Play Betting
Odds are updated in real time as the match progresses. You can enter a market after several overs have been bowled based on current performance. Ideal for players who actively follow the game as it unfolds.

Things to Check Before You Place a Bet
Before placing a bet on any cricket match on 812, there are a few practical things worth checking first. Start by making sure you understand the match format — how a winner is determined in Test cricket differs from T20. In Test matches, a draw is a possible outcome if neither team manages to complete their second innings.
Second, check the weather conditions and match venue. Cricket is heavily weather-dependent — rain can suspend play or cause results to be decided via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. This can affect your betting outcome, especially in total runs markets.
Third, always check the sports betting terms and conditions that apply to cricket. There are specific rules covering match cancellations, interrupted play, and how bet settlements are calculated in those situations. Understanding these upfront saves confusion later.
Fourth, set your betting budget before you start a session. Cricket — particularly the Test format — can span several days, and there is a temptation to keep adding bets as the match develops. Staying disciplined with budget management is an important part of a responsible betting experience.
