Cricket Spread Betting - Individual Batsman's Runs in an Innings

Staff Writer - 19 Nov 2009

During the course of an innings SportingIndex will predict the number of runs a batsman will score.

Here's an example. As Kevin Peterson walks to the wicket SportingIndex might be predicting he will score 30-34 runs. If you thought he was in good form you would bet high at 34 for your chosen stake, in this case, £5 a run. Had Peterson scored 52 you would have made 18 times your stake: (52 - 34) x your stake = 18 x £5 = £90.

But if he had struggled and eventually been dismissed for 16, you would have lost 18 times your stake: (16 - 34) x your stake = -18 x £5 = -£90.
