Outright markets

What can you bet on across a series?

The series winner, the correct series score, the top series batter and the top series bowler. Tournaments add an outright winner market, and every match still has its own markets. Series markets settle only when the last match is played, so a five-match series ties up your stake for a week or more.

For title prices in the biggest league, see our IPL odds comparison, and for single-match markets the cricket betting markets guide.

Series winner01
Who wins the series. A series can also end level, so most bookmakers offer the draw as a third outcome.
Series correct score02
The exact result, such as 2-1 in a three-match series. Higher odds, and one rain-off can wreck it.
Top series batter03
The most runs across the series. Top-order batters who play every match lead the market.
Top series bowler04
The most wickets across the series. Check who is likely to be rested before backing a fast bowler.
