Online Cricket Betting Information
Cricket is a popular international sport, so Cricket betting is big business. skytower is a top bookmaker for cricket betting on the internet.
The most popular cricket events are the Test series (especially when played between two of the top Test-playing nations, or a World Cup tournament), and no rivalry is more heated than that between Australia and England.
Cricket is a statistically rich game, which make it easy for bookmakers to offer hundreds of cricket odds on games, series, and competitions. Before the advent of online sportsbooks, it was impossible to bet on anything other than the basic result of a Test cricket, one-day international cricket, or domestic cricket match.
But online sportsbooks have brought a plethora of cricket betting possibilities, with exotic prop bets on all manner of possible outcomes. For example, you can bet on a specific player taking more wickets than anyone else in a series or a specific player to receive the man-of-the-match trophy in a Test match.
The nine host venue countries (Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, St Vincent & The Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago).
Before the start of every tournament odds are given against every team. Depending on the performance of the team previously, the odds are decided. With their current form Australia are the most favorite to win the World Cup. The odds are 6:4 in favor of them. South Africa are next with a rating of 6:1.
Cricket as a major world sport
Cricket remains a major world sport and is the most popular spectator sport in the Indian subcontinent, which gives the Asian cricketing nations a lot of political clout in the ICC. The ICC has expanded its Development Program with the goal of producing more national teams capable of competing at Test level.
Development efforts are focused on African and Asian nations, and the United States. In 2004, the ICC Intercontinental Cup brought first class cricket to 12 nations, mostly for the first time.
The U.S. has long been seen as a promising market for cricket, but it has been difficult to make any impression on a public largely ignorant of the sport. The establishment of the Pro Cricket professional league in the U.S. in 2004 may be the beginning of broaching this last frontier.
China may also be a source of future cricket development, with the Chinese government announcing plans in 2004 to develop the sport—almost unknown in China—with the goal of qualifying for the World Cup by 2019.
Secondly, the ICC is conducting ongoing reviews of the interpretation of Law 24.3 of the Laws of Cricket:
 Definition of fair delivery – the arm, in the wake of biomechanical findings that Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan violates the guidelines for arm extension when bowling his doosra. The reporting of Muralitharan for a suspect arm action by match referee Chris Broad and the subsequent study has precipitated a crisis by finding that the current interpretive guidelines may be inadequate and ultimately unenforceable. What this means for the Laws of Cricket remains to be seen.
