Match Betting

Match Betting/Tie-No-Bet/Double Chance
Bets will stand on the official result provided at least one ball has been bowled. In the event of a tie, then dead-heat rules will apply and bets on the tie will be losers.

The result of a match is a tie when the scores are equal at the conclusion of play, but only if the side batting last has completed its innings (i.e., all innings are completed, or, in limited-overs cricket, the set number of overs has been played or play is permanently stopped by weather or bad light).

If a match is abandoned due to outside interference, then bets will be deemed no action.

Outside interference does not include weather events.

Batter/Bowler

Top Team Batter/Bowler
Bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 or not nominated as a designated substitute or are named as a substitute but play no active part in the respective match are deemed no action. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat or bowl will be settled as losers. Dead-heat rules apply.

In the event of two or more players ending on an equal number of wickets, then the bowler with the least number of runs conceded will be deemed the winner. Dead-heat rules apply. If no bowler takes a wicket, all bets will be deemed no action.

Every effort will be made to quote odds for all possible participants. However, should a player(s) not originally quoted be determined as the Top Team Batter/Bowler, they will count as winners.

Team Batter to Score a Fifty in the 1st Innings
Declarations will be considered the end of an innings for settlement purposes. In the event of the 1st innings being forfeited, all bets will be deemed no action. In the event of an innings not being completed due to outside interference or inclement weather, all bets will be deemed no action unless settlement is already determined. For settlement purposes, any batters’ score of 50 or above will count.

Team Batter to Score a Hundred in the 1st Innings
Declarations will be considered the end of an innings for settlement purposes. In the event of the 1st innings being forfeited, all bets will be deemed no action. In the event of an innings not being completed due to outside interference or inclement weather, all bets will be deemed no action unless settlement is already determined.

Series Batter Total Runs/Series Player Matches
Runs scored in both innings of all the matches in the series will count.

Total Series Wides
If a bowler bowls a wide, all extra runs taken from the wide delivery count. For example, if it goes for 4 and is scored as 5 wides, the delivery will count as 5 for betting purposes rather than 1 wide delivery bowled.

Top Batter/Bowler (Both Teams)
Top batter/bowler (both teams) bets are for the whole match. Bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 are deemed no action. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat/bowl will be settled as losers. Dead-heat rules apply.

Every effort will be made to quote odds for all possible participants. However, should a player(s) not originally quoted be determined as the Top Batter/Bowler, they will count as winners.

Player/Team

Player Match Wickets
Bets stand if player bowls 1 ball. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action. Both innings count.

Series Player Performance
The runs scored, wickets, catches, and stumpings taken in both innings of all matches in the series will count.

Which Player Will Score the Fastest Fifty in the Series?
This will be measured in terms of number of balls faced to reach fifty. Dead-heat rules apply.

Which Player Will Score the Fastest Hundred in the Series?
This will be measured in terms of number of balls faced to reach a hundred. Dead-heat rules apply.

Make a Century (Yes/No)
To Make a Century bets are for the whole match. Bets placed on any player not in the starting 11 are deemed no action. Bets on players who are selected but do not bat will be settled as losers.

Test Match Team Totals (2-Way)
For Test matches, totals are settled on the 1st Innings only. A minimum of 50 overs must be bowled unless All Out or team declares. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action, unless settlement of bets is already determined.

Opening Partnership Over/Under Innings Runs
Bets stand once 1 ball has been bowled in each team's 1st innings. Bets are deemed no action if the innings is forfeited.

To Save Follow On
For settlement purposes, this market will be determined by whether or not the team batting second reaches the “Follow On” target, regardless of whether or not it is enforced. Both teams must complete their 1st Innings (including declarations) for bets to stand. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action.

Runs/Innings/Scoring

A Fifty to Be Scored in the 1st Innings
The settlement of bets that are struck on the 1st innings of the match are determined by the team batting 1st (as opposed to both teams). The innings must be completed (declarations count). Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action unless settlement is already determined. For settlement purposes, any batters’ score of 50 or above will count.

A Hundred to Be Scored in the 1st Innings
The settlement of bets that are struck on the 1st innings of the match are determined by the team batting 1st (as opposed to both teams). The innings must be completed (declarations count). Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action unless settlement is already determined. This market is based on a century (as opposed to 100 runs) being scored.

Innings Runs (Including Alternative Quotes)/Innings Sixes
A minimum of 50 overs must be bowled unless All Out or team declares. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action, unless settlement of bets is already determined. In the event of an innings being forfeited, all bets will be deemed no action.

For Innings Sixes specifically, for settlement purposes the outcome is based on all deliveries from which a batter is credited with exactly six runs (including All-run/Overthrows).

For Innings Runs (Including Alternative Quotes), specifically irrespective of how they are incurred, Extras and Penalty Runs will be included for settlement purposes.

Live In Game Runs in First "X" Overs (including alternative quotes)
If the selected number of overs is not complete due to external factors, then bets will be deemed no action, unless settlement of bet is already determined.

If the natural length of the innings is less than the selected number of overs (e.g., a team is all out in less than the selected overs or reaches their target), then bets will stand.

For Innings Runs (Including Alternative Quotes), specifically irrespective of how they are incurred, Extras and Penalty Runs will be included for settlement purposes.

First Innings Lead
Both teams must complete their first innings for bets to stand (including declarations).

Runs in 1st Over (2-Way)
Only Extras and Penalty runs accredited to a specific delivery will count for settlement purposes. The over must be completed for bets to stand, unless settlement is already determined.

Fall of 1st Wicket in Match Over/Under Runs
The total innings runs scored by a team before the fall of the 1st wicket determines the result of the market. If a team declares or reaches their target, then the total amassed will be the result of the market. Irrespective of how they are incurred, Extras and Penalty Runs will be included for settlement purposes.

Will There Be a Run Off 1st Ball of Match
Only Extras and Penalty runs accredited to a specific delivery will count for settlement purposes. In the event of no play, bets will be deemed no action.

To Make a Fifty Yes/No in Either Innings
The whole match counts. Bets will stand after the batter has faced one ball or is given out before first ball is faced. Score counts if the batter is Not-Out, including if innings is declared. All bets stand irrespective of delays caused by rain or for any other reason.

When Will Test Finish
If the Test match ends in a Tie, irrespective of the Day/Session, then Match is Tied is deemed the winning outcome.
