I have some knowledge on cricket and current cricket playing teams. I can predict the result of a match. But still I could not make by bets more profitable.
If you have any kind of recommendation or tips or URLs to educate on cricket betting that would be really useful if you share here.

I think to make cricket betting more profitable you should follow the teams, their current form, their batsman and bowlers. You must be aware that which team is more strong and you should be confident to predict the result of the match. I would like to add that in any match the host team has more advantages and favorite because of home ground, crowd support and used to playing condition, so you can have your bet on home team.

Simple answer = VALUE! ..... Not just with cricket, but with any other sports bet. Place your bets only when the price represents value. It don't matter how many favourites wins you can predict. If the odds are underpriced, you will never profit.

Always look out for weak Favourites. Remember that fav dont always win, otherwise bookies would be out of business. example of a weak fav, India vrs SA. @ 2.3 starting price. SA was the value bet win or lose.

To make your sports betting more profitable take advantage of bonuses offered by Sports Betting websites.  Also find two sites that offer different odds and try and get an arbitrage going. (make a profit no matter the outcome of the game)

Good Luck with all your gambling!

So basically you want to bet and win most of the time? First you need to understand that this is sport - even if one team is vastly superior that other, something can go wrong, they could make a mistake and lose the the game. So there is no 100%  method of sport betting, so stop aiming at that.
All you can do is educate yourself even more, read more about teams, read more about players and if you know facts you will be having higher chance of winning your bets.

I don't understand what do you mean by making the bets more profitable..The team you bet on has the odds and you will get that odds when you bet so if you want to make the bets more profitable then all i can say is choose 5-6 matches you are sure of you can win and add them to parley and you will be surprised to see the new high odds but remember all the matches have to be won to win the bet :P

I don't bet on cricket but on football and tennis, but the same concept applies I believe. To try to make a better profit, you have to make your predictions more accurate. This could be done when you are more familiar with the teams and players, and when you closely monitor their recent forms, morale, weather and location of the stadium etc. Also, different bookies offer different odds and different bonus, and you should compare them before making your bets and go with the best option.

Cricket is the game where you can make profit even before the finish of the game.Most of the time should use arbitrage which almost in 90% matches works.Sometimes it is better to see the 1st innings and live betting works very good as well is more profitable.

I think cricket is a very good game to bet, I have one friend that is an expert in this kind of sport and he always get good odds in the matches.

i was thinking to start betting on cricket, is a  sport i cant stay tunned, but i am interesting on it, some tips? I'd like to learn about cricket. Anyway do you commend on bet?

First of all you have some knowledge about playing ability and live betting is good choice for betting on cricket matches especially for t20 and odi matches in this way you can get some profit from cricket matches.

If you're so sure of your ability that you can predict the outcome of the game then only thing you need to do is start putting bigger bets, even if odds are low you can make good money by putting huge bets, that's all you can do really. Also, on almost all matches you'll see different bets, such as.. Top Player, First Dismissal, Most Sixes etc. And odds on those bets are usually better than the match odds so if you can predict those too put some money there.

There's also LIVE betting, which is done while the match is going on and sometimes you can catch great odds as they go up and down depending on the situation of the game, so maybe give that a shot but be ready as the window to put in the bets is quite small. Here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1198888.msg12585419#msg12585419) DirectBet suggests how to take advantage of live betting by putting the bets in advance and confirming them when you see an opportunity.

But that's all, sports betting is as simple as it gets, predict the side which is going to win and put money on it, the larger the bet, the bigger the profit.

According to me if you know cricket game and team strengths it is easy to guess but only some times results may go wrong because of some unexpected performance from other teams.

There is one thread already in this forum there many members are writing there review during matches and you can follow them to understand - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1135451.0

I usually bet only on cricket and so for my success rate is around 80% but I don't bet on each and every match. Only selected matches.

Yes. That's the reason I love cricket betting. Easy predictions based on the players and mostly cricket matches take place between two teams, not a tournaments where many teams participate and team combinations would be more. Cricket betting is easiest way of profitable gambling.

You must have enough knowledge about cricket, follow the current series, matches and keep your eyes close on all the developments regarding teams and the players. You should be aware with the current form of the teams, players, their weakness and strengths. You should be able to read the pitch and playing conditions so that you can predict the result in order to book the profit in cricket betting.

I mostly prefer live betting to place on cricket match i think ODI and T20 matches has good chances to make some money by betting on it as for me betting on cricket is working nice and near about 80% win chance my bets had till now, i will suggest you use different type of bets during live matches sometime we feel good about total runs score and sometime we are sure toss result than use your knowledge to place bet on cricket matches.

I have never bet on cricket, i love soccer and also have some knowledge about soccer. So i am betting till now on soccer only. But recently i have betted for upcoming ODI between pakistan and england.

which ever sports betting dont sit on one team, try to bet on non favrite and change on both side team betting, in cricket it is very easy that you get both team non favrite , so you can bet on both time non favrite in one match , so like this your loss will get cut and you will be only winning which ever team wins, like this you will be in less profit but not in loss. at the end of the month you will see that you have won a good bankroll.

I know nothing about cricket, but all the sports betting talk on this forum misses the most important thing, change your bet size based on how confident you are in the bet.

It makes no sense to bet the same amount on a bet with 1.25 odds and one with 2.5 odds, you should be more confident about the 1.25 bet so you should bet more.

It depends... For example I'm almost always plays 10/10. Because I play only matches where I see value.
And if you think there is a value in it - take it max of it! Odds doesn't matter if you see the value. E.g. if you expect an event to occur on 1/4, if you see >1.26 take it at max. If you see 4/1 and find >4.01 odds, take it at max. There is not point because of odds to determinate stake size. Btw 10/10 represents  Kelly (http://www.albionresearch.com/kelly/) sizing for me.   

sometimes i see cricket match odds is big but i don't know much about this game. i was thinking to bet cricket to get some profit

There is already one quite established thread on this forum where members are discussing on live cricket game betting - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1135451.1020. You may follow that thread to get some ideas. If you know the cricket game and team strengths then it is quite easy to guess who will win the match.

I did follow his prediction but mostly I dont know what to do, I just can follow his prediction without asking thing because I dont understand how is the game works

Yes that thread alone not enough for the people who has some knowledge in predicting cricket match results but has very little to nothing knowledge on cricket gambling. If some experts who are making some good results share their experience would be more delightfully useful.

I think OP make that thread to share his thoughts and try to discuss with us. If you want to follow his thread its ok if not its ok too, all decision is in your hands so no need to find expert to share his thoughts with us, if at last you wont even believe him

This first tip and everything you need to bet on cricket is the commentary followed before the innings !  Listen to the experts carefully what they think about the pitch and type of weather .If its a bowling pitch and toss winner chooses to ball first ,its obvious he made a wise decision and is more likely to win.In such way you could have your analysis done also check the player line ups and their past performances to be on them.

Cricket one of the best sports but i have knowing to choose to bet it. Im always betting basket ball and boxing because of popularity and known team.. and I think cricket is one easy one high winning odds.. 1×2 cricket bettors are simply betting on which team will win the game. Cricket Futures Betting: Pinnacle Sports offer a number of cricket futures betting opportunities. Take an outright punt on a team before the coin toss and wait to see if your bet brings in a profit

maybe this is because in the end, Cricket is not different from other games, i mean that there is a big % of lucky in all games, so that's why you cant made a good profit with it, look at me, i like and understand a lot about football, and i didn't win all my bets ;)

i dont agree with you i am doing cricket betting and earning around 20 to 30% , cricket is the best game where you can win easily but you have to trade , you cannot sit on one team and play , then you will definitely lose the money , you have to trade on both teams first check the teams and then their strength and the ground record, their is lot of thing to be workout.

You need little information about teams and there just few teams which can be trusted to bet on.There are many chances to arbitrage on many matches if you keep following the game.I mean in match live betting gives you many opportunities to make some nice profit.

Agreed with you that we can not depend on one team to book profit in cricket betting. You have to bet according to the current form of the team and current situation of the match. I always prefer betting live according to the match situation, If you think that you will loose money then you can immediately place cross bets on other team so that you will not loose any money.

i agree, their are teams whose matches when happen openly you can bet on unfavrite team and then watch the match and surely you will get other team also unfavrite  and then you can do 2nd bet on this team and so like this which ever team wins it you will be in profit . profit will be less but you wont lose anything

Exactly, at least you will not loose your money. We can also place multiple bets to cover losses or to book profit if you have good strategy. Now days in cricket only 2 overs are enough to change the situation of match and many times there are chances for both the teams to win the match and at the same time match odds are like roller coaster. If you bet at the right time with a right amount of money then you can book more and more profit.

There is no proper guide for gambling in cricket as well as no dedicated site thread also available here.
This means there are lot of earning potential for the cricket gambling sites waiting for the initiator. We see a lot of people looking for new business, a dedicated cricket betting site will be a decent successful business.

I agree with this type of strategy its better to check the record of the team before we bet it..But we dont know who will win. Percentage to win is 70% then 30% for lose.

Agreed with you that cricket betting sites are profitable and also note that there are already many sites available for betting on cricket for example - directbet.eu, there is also special thread available for this site.

If you don't know the cricket then I would suggest you to stay away from the cricket betting as there are maximum chances to loose your money. If you don't have enough knowledge about the cricket then you can not predict the result of the match and you may place the wrong bets so its better for you to avoid the cricket betting, increase your knowledge regarding cricket and then try it.

Yes cricket knowledge and current team knowledge including players performance are key for the success in cricket betting. Cricket is famous for it's uncertainty. Even after the 98% of game finished there are chances to alter the result of a game. So, the most suspenseful game which provides more profits for gamblers.

Profitable or not depends on the your analysis in one game. Doesnt mean if you predict this game will one it will be sometimes it depends on your luck too because this is gambling, no one can really predict the exact results
