Test Cricket Betting

Cricket betting is big business, particularly during a Test series between two of the top Test-playing nations. No rivalry is greater than that between Ashes combatants Australia and England. The teams participated in Test cricket's first match in 1877 when, in a sign of things to come, Australia won by 45 runs

One Day International Betting

ODI cricket is relatively young in comparison to Test cricket, with Australia and England pioneering the game in 1971. One Day International cricket has since taken the world by storm, with international events such as the ICC World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy appealing to audiences the world over.

ICC Champions Trophy Betting

Affectionately known as the Mini World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy involves all 10 Test playing nations and was first played in 1998 with subsequent events played every two years since. The event, which is staged for a full month is a veritable feast of One Day International (ODI) cricket that is sure to make the average cricket fans mouth water.

Commonwealth Bank (formerly VB) Series Betting

Commonwealth Bank Series cricket is an annual tri-nation one-day international series played in Australia featuring the home nation and two touring teams. Australia is the traditional favourite, having missed the series final only twice since missing out in the inaugural series.

Domestic Competition Betting

Centrebet keep books on the various domestic cricket competitions, including the County Championship, ING Cup and Pura Cup. Centrebet clients enjoy Centrebets futures odds, which allow them to bet on the final outcome of domestic cricket competitions throughout the season.

Cricket Betting - Bet Types

Cricket betting is awash with statistics which make it easy for Centrebet to offer hundreds of cricket odds on games, series and competitions. A few years ago it was impossible to bet on anything other than the basic result of a Test cricket, one-day international cricket or domestic cricket match. Now the world is the oyster of the cricket betting fan, with exotic markets on all manner of eventualities. For example, you can bet on Australian bowler Shane Warne taking more wickets than anyone else in the Ashes series or England captain Andrew Flintoff receiving the man-of-the-match trophy in the first Test.
