Twenty20 Cup Betting

The highlight of the domestic cricketing summer is the Twenty20 Cup and the betting that takes place on it. Since its invention in 2003 it’s been an enormous success with sell out crowds, coloured clothing and really exciting cricket. The speed of the game means that Twenty20 betting is fast and furious, so what better place to enjoy a cricket bet than at Betfair where you can also get up to 20% better odds about your selections.

Twenty20 cricket is a mid-summer event where the evenings are warm, the grounds are packed and the atmosphere is fantastic. The group stages of the Twenty20 Cup are regionalised with 3 groups: North; South; and Midlands/Wales/West. Each group has 6 teams with the top 2 from each group and the best 2 third place sides progressing into the quarter finals. The Twenty20 Cup Final day has three games back-to-back (2 semi finals and the final) and is a superb day of one-day cricket, so enjoy it the betting with great odds and plenty of excitement on Betfair.

There is a superb range of Twenty20 betting markets offered by Betfair. As well as traditional match odds you can bet on Group winners, whether a specific team will reach the final, and of course who will win the trophy. So if you think Essex will win the Southern group, Surrey will reach the final and Leicestershire will take the Cup, then get better cricket odds with Betfair.

The TV coverage of the Twenty20 Cup has heightened the exposure of cricket but also enabled the advent of live in-play betting , with Betfair the leader in the field. In-play cricket betting means you can bet on every ball as the game happens, with the most popular market being the Match Odds.

The possibilities for profit are almost endless and as a vehicle for betting the sport of cricket has been popular for many years. As the odds swing back and forth between each ball you can trade to ensure a positive return. For example, you could get great odds on Surrey winning their game and they hit the next 2 balls for four you can lay off for a profit. Alternatively you lay a bet on Lancashire and they lose a couple of quick wickets, the odds change and you can back them back for a guaranteed profit.

It’s going to be a great summer of cricket and with Betfair offering a great range of Twenty20 betting opportunities, be sure not to miss out!
