Betting Rules: Cricket

Single bets and upwards are accepted for cricket matches.

For bets to stand, at least one ball must be bowled in play after a bet is made.

For settling purposes, a match is considered to be tied when both sides have played their scheduled overs and have the same score.

Match Betting

  1. If a match is cut short and does not run for its intended length including matches affected by weather conditions, bets will be settled according to the official competition rules. For example, if the match result is decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method. Outright bets will be void if no official result is declared. In cases where a match is abandoned due to outside interference, we reserve the right to void bets.
  2. In the event that any form of match is tied and the outcome is then decided by a Bowl Out, Golden Over, or some other form, all bets will be settled on this outcome. If no such method is used and the match remains tied, dead-heat rules will apply. For tied test matches, bets on the draw will be settled as losers as a result has occurred. Bets on the two teams will be settled as a dead-heat.
  3. In the event that a One Day or Twenty20 match is postponed, bets will only stand if the match is replayed at the same venue within seven days. In all other circumstance bets will be void.
  4. An innings is deemed to have reached its end when the batting team is all out, has declared, or has won the match.

Test & One Day Series

If, for some reason the scheduled number of games is not played, bets will stand on those games that are played. However, correct score bets will be deemed void if the scheduled games are not all played.

Match Betting - Domestic League

  1. Bets can be placed on domestic league markets up to 30 minutes before the advertised start of play.
  2. If a domestic match ends in a tie then the match will be settled as a dead-heat.
  3. At Titan Bet, we do not offer prices for a draw in a domestic match. Any match that is drawn, postponed or abandoned will be deemed void for purposes of settlement.

Top Batsman

  1. Betting is on 1st Innings only for top batsman. Players that are selected in the starting XI will be deemed runners for the purpose of settlement, regardless of whether they bat. Dead-Heat rules apply.
  2. If the player is not in the starting XI then the bet is void.
  3. Players in the starting XI who do not bat will be deemed losers.
  4. Unless the innings finishes in a natural way at least 50% of the scheduled overs after the bet is made must be played for the bet to stand.

Top Bowler

Total runs

In order for bets to stand, at least 90% of the full number of scheduled overs at the time the bet was placed must be bowled, except in case where the innings/match has reached its natural conclusion eg the winning score has already been reached, all players are out or there are no remaining players left to bat.

Runs Scored in a Specified Period

Runs/wicket markets in a specified number of overs, for example, the 1st 15 overs. The full number of specified overs must be played for bets to stand, unless the innings has reached its natural conclusion or further play cannot affect the result. Any change in fielding restrictions due to a reduction in scheduled innings overs will not affect the settlement of this market. This rule also applies to 1st 15 overs handicap markets. In the event of a tie markets on Highest 6 Over Score and Highest 15 Over Score will be settled as Dead Heat.

Batsman Total Runs

  1. The batsman much reach the crease for the bet to stand, otherwise the bet will be void.
  2. The batsman's total will determine the settlement of the bet regardless of whether he retired injured, weather stopped play or if he left the playing field for another reason.

Next Man Out

Unless a price is offered on a "neither" market, bets on the next man out will be deemed void if neither player is out. If either player retires, bets will be void.

Total Number of Fours or Sixes

  1. Provided the first ball has been bowled in each team's innings, bets will stand
  2. Only fours and sixes scored off the bat will count towards settlement.

Highest Opening Partnerships

Provided the first ball has been bowled in each team's innings then the bet will stand.

Handicaps

  1. Prices may be offered for handicaps in cases where one team is weaker than the other.
  2. The handicap will be given in the form of runs or wickets and is added at the end of the match.

  2. Retirements are not taken into consideration for purposes of settling.
  3. If the particular wicket does not fall in the remainder of the innings, bets on the market will be settled on the final score.
