Is Twenty20 Cricket A Gamblers New Dream?
The recent Twenty20 Cricket World Cup has proved a success both on and off the field with revenues up in almost every corner of the sport. We have seen a massive increase in advertising revenues, viewing figures are on the way up and the players seem to be enjoying the challenge of this fast and furious sport. But what about the gambling aspects?
The gambling markets have been one of the main beneficiaries of this new and exciting sport, where teams slog it out for just 20 overs to see who can put the most runs on the board. Sound easy?
The game is as topsy turvy a sporting event as you will ever come across, with teams going for the big hits almost from the start. There is no time to play yourself in, no time to find your line and length, just a swing of the bat and keep that run rate on the up and up.
The game has also proved to be a major leveller between the big countries in the sport, with India taking the honours in the recent event. Not among the favourites before the tournament started, they showed great strength in the field and their batting was amongst the best in the tournament - reaching a high of six 6s in one over against a struggling England team.
How do you gamble on the Twenty20 Cricket market?
This event is perhaps the most suitable to in-play gambling where the odds will change almost each over, when runs are scored and wickets fall. There were many close calls in the last tournament, with many games going down to the last few balls - perfect for those gamblers looking to take a chance on some of the big odds!
Who would have thought cricket could be so explosive - what a difference to the 5 day test marathons we are used to seeing.
