I’ve seen a lot of generic talk around cricket betting tips, so here’s something more practical for anyone who seriously wants better results. These aren’t guesses — they’re patterns I’ve noticed after tracking around 200+ matches across IPL, BBL, WBBL, and international fixtures.

1. Don’t bet pre-match without checking the first 15 minutes toss + pitch reaction
Teams play completely differently once the ball starts gripping or skidding.
Example: On slower pitches, chasing sides lose value silently within overs 3–4.
Live betting often gives better odds than pre-match.

2. Study “match-ups”, not just player form
Bowlers who dominate specific batters matter more than averages.
For example: A left-arm spinner vs a right-hand heavy batting lineup is a goldmine for wicket markets.

3. Powerplay scoring rates are the most predictable market
Forget “winner prediction” — powerplay runs markets are statistically the most stable.
Teams usually follow consistent aggression patterns that barely change.

4. Weather and ground dimensions influence 30–40% of scoring outcomes
Short square boundaries = more sixes.
Long straight boundaries = more 1s/2s, fewer high totals.
Google rarely tells this clearly — you need to look at actual ground maps.

5. Never ignore late injury updates
If a key bowler is out, totals shift massively.
One unavailable seamer can move 1.75 odds to 1.55 within minutes.

6. Avoid big favourites in T20 leagues
Short odds are trap markets. T20 is too volatile.
Look for 1.95–2.20 range value bets based on pitch and bowling matchups.

I’m sharing this to help create a real discussion here.
