In cricket sports betting, the market “Over, Total Runs” refers to a bet on the number of runs scored in a specific over (a set of six legal deliveries by a bowler). Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
What It Means:
You are betting on how many runs will be scored in a single over — either by a specific team or in the match(depending on the bet offered).
Types of Bets:
- Over 1 Total Runs – Over/Under 7.5 Runs
- You’re betting whether the total runs scored in the 1st over will be over 7.5 or under 7.5.
- Example result: If 9 runs are scored → Over wins; if 6 → Under wins.
- Team Over X Total Runs – Over/Under
- This specifies which team and which over.
- E.g., India Over 5 Total Runs – Over/Under 9.5
- Exact Total Runs in Over
- You predict exactly how many runs will be scored in an over.
- Higher odds, but riskier.
Key Factors Influencing the Bet:
- Type of match: T20, ODI, or Test.
- Batsmen and bowlers involved.
- Pitch and weather conditions.
- Match situation (aggressive batting vs defensive play).
Example Bet:
“Over 3, Total Runs – Over 8.5 @ 1.90 odds”
If 9 or more runs are scored in the 3rd over, you win.
