What is Player Performance in Cricket Betting?

How Player Performance in Cricket Betting Works

As we touched on above, player performance in cricket betting works by giving individuals a chance to earn points towards a total. Earning points can happen in a number of ways.

For instance, a bowler can get player performance points for taking a wicket, while a batter will be awarded points for the runs they score. Points for catches and stumpings are also offered.

10Cric is one of the top Indian cricket betting sites that provides player performance markets. With this online bookmaker, this is how the player performance scoring is broken down:

• 1 point for each run scored.
• 20 points per wicket.
• 10 points for each catch.
• 25 points for each stumping.

Scoring for player performance markets in cricket betting are normally similar at other top online betting sites in India as well. This means it can be worthwhile comparing the odds that are available.

For instance, let's say that India are playing against England in a One Day International fixture as part of the Cricket World Cup. Jos Buttler, as one of the star players in world cricket, would be widely expected to put in a top performance. As a wicketkeeper-batter, Buttler would also have a few different ways to earn points in player performance betting - runs, catches and stumpings.

In this example, let's say the over/under for Buttler's player performance market has been set at 77.5. This means he must rack up 78 or more points from the scoring options for the over bet to win. An under bet would win if he failed to manage 78 points from catches, runs and stumpings.

Buttler scores 50 runs in the game and takes a stumping, but gets no catches. This means that he scores 50 points for the runs and 25 for the stumping, but no other points for any catches. 

All in all, the player performance scoring gives Buttler a total of 75 points, so the under bet wins. At odds of 1.80, this means that for every 100 rupees staked, 80 rupees profit would be won.

Various over/under options can be offered for player performance markets in cricket betting. It is possible to find player performance cricket betting markets for ODIs, T20s and Test matches.
