T20 bets

Postby Frosty » Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:17 pm

Been looking at T20 World Cup betting options on Sportsbet and they have First Over runs scored fields.

Last night Bangladesh v Pakistan - Bangladesh batted first and they were offering $1.80 (over 4.5 runs). Well Bangladesh made it easily with a single then a 4.

So I figure if they can do it pretty much anyone can. I've looked at the two matches coming up next and the odds are still $1.80 but the line is 5.5 runs in the first over. Still reckon that's pretty easy in a T20 match so I've multi'd the two games for $3.24 total and slapped a pineapple on it. If this works expect my betting on this field to continue.

Well the Windies saluted but the Kiwis could only manage 2 runs in the first over so that bet went south.

Trying again tonight with a 2 leg multi covering both T20 games with more than 5.5 runs in the first over.

If this doesn't work it's back to the drawing board.

So back to the drawing board I went! And now I'm a bit confused and hoping someone can explain this for me.

In the T20 World Cup betting options with Sportsbet there are 20 odd different markets on each game.

Two of the markets are shown as 50 scored? and 100 scored? in the first innings but the actual bets aren't really explained in terms of what you are betting on.

I assumed it meant any player scoring 50 runs or 100 runs in the first innings. So I had a bet in the Pakistan v India match a couple of nights ago that no one would score 50 in the first innings. Pakistan duly crumbled with no 50's scored so I thought I had won the bet. Checked my results and it came up as a loss.

So I thought to myself maybe the bet is whether the team scores 50 runs or 100 runs or not. So last night I placed a bet on the 100 runs in the first innings for the team which Sri Lanka did easily only to find that bet has lost as well.

Can anyone explain what these bets actually are and what the terms are so I don't keep throwing my money away.

What were the odds.

I think you are correct in what you said. 50 scored means a player scores a 50. I think Sportsbet stuffed up, send them an email getting some clarification.

Emailed Sportsbet with my enquiry and they said that I lost my first bet (no player scoring 50 in the first innings because Virat Kohli scored 78 in that game).

Pretty sure India batted second in that game - hence the second innings!!

I'm thinking that when they refer to innings they are talking about an individual players innings not the team and the first innings therefore being the first player or at least one of the openers (1st wicket) on each side. That would mean the bet I made was for neither opening batsman from either side scoring 50 but that's not how it reads.

I have sent a follow up enquiry!!!

sounds like you have a good case
pulled this from thieir rules
71b. 50/100 First Innings - This market will be settled as yes should any player score 50/100 of the first innings. Should the innings be shortened due to external factors, then the market will be void.
and pakistan batted first and no 50 was scored, india batted in the 2nd innings and did get a 50 as stated above
Keep on them :D
