Introduction

Cricket is more than just a sport in many countries; it is a passion. With the rise of the internet, many fans now want to know how to place their first bet. If you are a beginner, the screens and numbers on a betting site can look very confusing. You might see terms like "Back," "Lay," "Fancy," or "Session" and feel lost.

This guide is made for you. We will explain everything in very simple words—from how to get your online cricket id to how you can place your first bet safely.

Step 1: Getting Your Online Cricket ID

Before you can place a bet, you need a digital account. This is usually called an online cricket id. Think of this like a digital wallet where you keep your points or money to play.

To get started, you usually message a provider on WhatsApp or Telegram. They will ask you to deposit a small amount (like ₹500). Once you pay, they give you a username and a password. Important Tip: Always change your password the first time you log in to keep your account safe.

Step 2: Understanding the "Match Odds" (The Basics)

When you open your ID, the first thing you will see is the Match Winner section. This is where you bet on which team will win the game.

• The Blue Box (Back): This means you are betting FOR a team to win. If you click the blue box for India, you are saying "India will win."

• The Pink Box (Lay): This means you are betting AGAINST a team. If you click the pink box for India, you are saying "India will NOT win."

The numbers you see (like 1.80 or 2.10) tell you how much profit you will make. If you bet ₹100 on 1.80, you will get ₹180 back if you win (₹80 is your profit).

Step 3: What is "Session" or "Fancy" Betting?

This is very popular in cricket. You don't have to wait for the whole match to finish to win. You can bet on small parts of the game.

• Runs in 6 Overs: The site will ask: "Will Team A score more than 45 runs in the first 6 overs?"

• Yes (Over): If you think they will score 46 or more.

• No (Under): If you think they will score 45 or less.

• Player Runs: You can also bet on whether a specific player like Virat Kohli will score 30 runs or not.

These bets are fast and exciting, but be careful! They are also very risky because one good over can change everything.

Step 4: How to Place Your First Bet

Once you have logged into your online cricket id, follow these simple steps:

1. Pick a Match: Select the match you want to play (e.g., India vs. Australia).

2. Choose your Market: Decide if you want to bet on the Match Winner or a Session.

3. Enter the Amount: Click on the odds (the number). A small box will open. Type the amount you want to bet (example: ₹100).

4. Confirm: Click "Place Bet." You will see a message saying "Bet Accepted."

5. Wait for the Result: Now, just watch the match and see what happens!

Step 5: How to Read the Pitch and Weather

A big part of knowing how to bet is understanding the ground.

• Dry Pitch: Good for spin bowlers. Usually, scores are lower.

• Green Pitch: Good for fast bowlers. The ball moves a lot in the start.

• Small Boundaries: On small grounds, players hit many sixes, so the scores are very high.

• Dew Factor: In night matches, the grass gets wet (dew). This makes it very hard for bowlers to grip the ball, so the team batting second usually has an advantage.

Step 6: Managing Your Money (The Most Important Part)

You can be the best cricket expert, but if you don't manage your money, you will lose.

• The Daily Limit: Decide in the morning: "I will only play with ₹500 today." If that money finishes, stop. Do not add more.

• Don't "All-In": Never put your whole balance on one match. Use only 5% or 10% of your balance for one game.

• Withdraw Regularly: When you win, ask your online cricket id provider for a withdrawal. It feels great to see real money in your bank account!

Step 7: Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Betting on every ball: You don't have to play every over. Wait for a moment when you are very sure.

• Emotional Betting: Don't bet on India just because you love India. Look at the score and the situation.

• Chasing: If you lose ₹200, don't try to bet ₹500 to get it back quickly. This is how most people lose all their money.

Step 8: Keeping Your ID Safe

Since you are using an online cricket id, you must treat it like a bank account.

1. Do not use public Wi-Fi.

2. Do not share your screenshot of the balance with strangers.

3. Always keep a screenshot of your deposits (UTR number) as proof.

Final Overview

Learning how to bet on cricket takes time. Start slowly, watch how the rates move during the match, and always keep your bets small in the beginning. Cricket betting should be a way to make the match more interesting, not a way to take a big financial risk. If you stay disciplined and follow the pitch reports, you will have a much better experience.
