1xBet divides its cricket betting offerings into match, innings, over, player and outright markets and includes tools such as Bet Constructor and a statistics centre. The following sections look at each of these: the different market categories, the custom bet tool, the statistics section and the slip tools. Since not all features are available on every match, the guide also indicates where to find them before you use any one.
1xBet Cricket Markets by Category
| Match | Match winner, toss winner, tied match, and the draw in Test cricket where offered | Simple bets on the overall result of a game, usually placed before the first ball, with plenty of team news and head-to-head records to check |
| Innings | First-innings runs, highest opening partnership and other team-total markets for a single innings | Bettors who follow how an innings is built and want a market tied to one batting side rather than to the final result |
| Over | Runs in a specific over, wicket in an over, and similar short-window markets | Readers who watch the match closely and want a bet that settles after a single over |
| Player | Top batter, top bowler, batter runs over/under and player of the match | Followers of individual players who would rather back a performance than a team result; check the market rules if a player does not play |
| Specials | Total sixes, century in the match and similar event markets | Bets on a notable event rather than a winner, such as whether a century is scored, where the answer can depend on conditions like the pitch and the ground size |
| Outright | Tournament winner and top run-scorer | Long-term bets placed before or during a competition such as the PSL, which settle only when it ends and tie up your stake until then |
The extent of the market differs according to the match and is greatest in the case of televised international games and those from the PSL, meaning that a market listed here might not be available for smaller matches.
Bet Constructor: Build Your Own Cricket Bet
With Bet Constructor you can create a bet that is not available in the standard market list; rather than selecting a team to win, you divide teams or players into two groups and place your bet on the one group that performs better. The types of measures you can select from will vary according to the event.
Imagining it as if you're arranging your own head-to-head matchup, you could for example match two openers from one side with two openers from the other side and then the bet would be placed on the pair that performs better according to the criterion you chose. The market that results from this is one that reflects your own view of the match, rather than one based on a line taken from a list.
There are restrictions; Bet Constructor is not available for all cricket matches and the groups, odds and prices offered vary according to the event. A tool that is available for a major international game might not be available for a smaller match. Since the bet involves several players, you should also check the market rules, in particular those relating to what occurs if the selected player fails to take the field.
To check whether it is available, open the event page and look for the Bet Constructor tab; if you don't find the tab, then the event doesn't support it and you will have to choose from the standard markets.
One Custom Slip, Step by Step
The following describes a hypothetical one-day international match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It should be noted that this is an illustrative example and not a actual game or a real price.
- Start the match. In the cricket section locate the ODI match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and then open the event page for it.
- Open the constructor and on the event page look for the Bet Constructor tab; if the tab is not there then the match does not support it.
- Form the groups by placing two of Pakistan's openers in Group 1 and two of Sri Lanka's openers in Group 2. If the lineup has already been published, use the confirmed one.
- Select the market and choose 'most runs'; this will then cause the bet to ask which of the groups scores the most runs.
- Look at the price and check the odds given for the groups to ensure that your selections correspond to those that you have constructed.
- Put in the amount you want to stake. For example, PKR 500, or any amount that suits your budget. Select one that you are able to lose.
- Alright, read the slip one final time and then place the bet, before checking it in your bet history.
The example given here illustrates the various steps without implying any particular price or result, and it's possible for a bet of this kind to lose.
Statistics and Match Centre
On the statistics section of a 1xBet cricket event page you can find information which would usually have to be looked up elsewhere. The specific details displayed depend on the match in question, but in the case of cricket they generally include four items: the head-to-head record of the two teams, recent form, the results at the venue, and the line-ups.
A preliminary check before placing a bet takes about two minutes. Begin by looking at the head-to-head record, but be careful when considering older results since the teams involved change. Then examine the teams' recent form, for example by looking at their last five matches, in order to assess whether a team is on a good winning streak. It is also necessary to consider the venue results for the ground on which the match will take place, as some grounds tend to favour batting first or chasing while others prefer pace or spin. Lastly, go over the line-up and compare it with the team you had expected.
Statistics refer to what has already happened and are not forecasts. The player arrangements displayed in a statistics section might be temporary or no longer current, so it is advisable to verify the team news with official sources, for example the cricket board or the team's own statement, before placing a bet.
Advancebet, Bet Slip Sale and Insurance
The three tools alter the way a bet is dealt with at the time you place it or prior to it settling, and with each one there is a fee. You should look at the terms on the slip before using any of them.
Advancebet
With Advancebet you can place a new bet by using an advance against bets which have not yet been settled, thereby avoiding the need to wait for the results in order to make your balance available. The facility is only available for events within a certain time window, so it is important to check the current window if you want to use it. The drawback is that you are placing a bet on money which hasn't yet been received by you, which in turn makes it easier to increase your exposure should your pending bets lose.
Bet Slip Sale
With Bet Slip Sale you can sell an unsettled slip for the value which is offered at that moment, although this value changes as the match progresses and so the amount you see at present might be different a minute from now. The drawback is that the offered value is generally less than a winning payout and so you have to give up some of your potential return in order to gain certainty.
Bet Slip Insurance
With Bet Slip Insurance you can pay an additional amount in order to insure all or part of a stake on a slip, which will enable you to recover some or all of the stake if the bet fails. The cost and the level of coverage are determined by the terms displayed on the slip. The disadvantage is that the fee is charged regardless of whether the bet wins or loses, thus reducing your total return.
