In cricket betting, the “Most Fours” market allows you to wager on which team will score the highest number of fours during a match. Only boundaries scored from the bat count, and bets are typically void if the match conditions, such as overs bowled, are not met.
Key Rules for Most Fours Betting
- Definition: The “Most Fours” market is settled based on the team that scores the most fours in the match. Only fours scored from the bat are counted; overthrows, all run fours, and extras do not contribute to the total.
- Super Overs: Fours scored in a super over are excluded from the total count for this market.
- Match Types:
- In First Class games and Test Matches, only the fours scored in the first innings are counted.
- For limited overs matches, a minimum of 80% of the originally allotted overs must be bowled for the bets to stand unless the match result has already been determined.
- Tie Option: A tie option is available for betting, allowing you to wager on the possibility of both teams scoring the same number of fours.
- Abandonment of Match: If the game is abandoned, all bets are voided.
- Innings Fours: There is also a specific market for “Innings Fours,” which focuses on the total number of fours scored in a specified innings, following similar rules regarding what counts and the minimum overs required.
- Batsman Fours: Bets can also be placed on individual batsmen, where the total number of fours scored by a specified batsman is the basis for settlement. If the batsman does not bat or is not in the starting XI, the bets are void.
- Settlement Conditions: All bets are settled based on the official result, and if the required number of overs is not completed, bets will be voided.
