Live In Play Cricket Betting with SkyBet – Plus a Free £10 and more!
December 17th, 2009 / Lee A Jackson
With the plethora of International Test Match and One Day International cricket which is happening around the globe at the moment, there are great opportunities to pick up some Live In-Play betting odds. Whether you are following the opening Test between South Africa vs. England, or the West Indies’ tour of Australia, or New Zealand vs Pakistan, or whether it is the enticing series between India and Sri Lanka, then there are no shortage of bets to pick up while the action is playing live. The South Africa vs. England Test match is being shown on Sky, and therefore SkyBet is a good place to keep an eye on the match, as well as trying to pick up some winners as the day progresses.
SkyBet offers a comprehensive service when it comes to total sport. Whether it is just following excellent news coverage, or exploring the opportunities on their betting site, SkyBet will provide everything you need. Live In Play betting is something which enhances the experience of on-line betting, because as opposed to just putting a fixed odds bet on the outcome of a sporting event, you can watch a match in action and get a fair idea of what is going to happen next. Maybe your top scoring batsmen bet gets shot down in flames within the first 5 Overs of the day’s play, you can at least try and redeem yourself with SkyBet’s Live In Play betting.
Cricket, as well as football are great sports for this, but certainly are not exclusive to just those two. When following the cricket action live, there are many chances to capitalise upon. Take the first day’s action of South Africa vs. England. In comes Jacques Kallis, returning from injury, and once he is in and looking settled, he put the below-par England bowlers to task. This is when Live In Play betting comes into its own, whether you back the batsman or the bowler. You can usually take odds on who the next batsman out is going to be, how the dismissal will be made (e.g. caught, bowled or run-out). If you want to back the batsman, then you should be able to get live odds on a settled player hitting a century. With England pretty much restricted to three bowlers due to Graham Onions tweaking his hamstring, there wasn’t enough swing for Jimmy Anderson to operate properly, and it was clear that Stuart Broad was well out of shape. So that left the bulk of the wicket opportunities down to spinner Graeme Swann, who would have been great to back, when he was in action.
These are just some of the kinds of opportunities to look out for while following Live In Play options with SkyBet. Other markets you should be able to pick up, are the amount of runs scored in the next over, innings total runs, who will make the most runs in an innings, who will take the most wickets in an innings, and again looking at the South Africa vs England First Test, JP Duminy to hit 50 is 1/5 at SkyBet (he’s currently on 38).
