As November comes to a close, the attention of most sports fans is laser-focused on the Qatar World Cup. Already, some teams have been eliminated and others have qualified for the tournament. And while the World Cup is certainly everyone’s go-to sporting event right now, it will not last long. In only 18 days, the World Cup will conclude and we will know the winner. But when the celebrations are done, what will there be left to do?
Well, while we can’t answer the question for a broader population, we certainly can tell you what cricket fans, especially Australian cricket fans are going to be doing. They are going to be watching the KFC-sponsored Big Bash League. The Big Bash League is Australia’s most popular Twenty20 cricket league. And with BBL cricket increasing in popularity around the world, we are expecting many bettors to flood the bookies in hopes of making some extra cash. So, for newbies to betting or to cricket, in this article, we are going to give you a few tips for betting on the Big Bash League.
Know the Different Variants
In today’s cricket world, the sport comes in three variants. You have the One Day International, the Test cricket game, and Twenty20 Cricket. It is very important to know the differences between these three variations, especially if you are going to be placing bets. Lucky for us, this point is not all that relevant, considering the Big Bash League is a Twenty20 competition. So, if you are going to be placing bets on the BBL, familiarize yourself with the Twenty20 format, and you should have no trouble when placing the bets.
Take Advantage of Welcome Bonuses
Online sportsbooks are growing in popularity. So, if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon up until now, you definitely should consider it if you are going to be betting on the Big Bash League. The main reason why sports betting websites are so enticing, apart from how accessible they are, is because they offer excellent bonuses just for signing up. To put it plainly, all you need to do is register with a website, put down a deposit on the required odds, and collect your welcome bonus. It will often come in the form of free bets, or a bet refund.
Give Live Betting a Try
For those who might not know, live betting is a relatively new phenomenon. Unlike traditional pre-match bets, live betting allows you to place bets while the game is going on. Incorporating livestreaming technology, many online betting websites now allow you to follow the games live. And with that also comes the option to place bets live. In other words, you can now make better-informed decisions as you are placing bets. The best we could say is give live betting a go, and if you find it’s not for you, stick to traditional pre-match bets.
Study the Odds
Lastly, and certainly most importantly, you always must pay attention to the odds that the bookies provide. While they are not always the most accurate, they often times do lead to bettors making better decisions. An example here is to study the teams and see how they’ve done in the past. For example, the Perth Scorchers are 5-time Big Bash League champions, as well as the most recent winners of the BBL. So, the odds that they will win the 2022/23 iteration of the BBL are quite high.
Final Thoughts
Well, there you have it. Those are our four tips for making better-informed and more successful bets. If you are planning on giving the BBL a go this year around, please keep some of these tips in mind, so you can get ahead of the competition.
