📊 Understanding Over/Under Markets in Cricket Betting

If you’re new to online cricket betting on RadhaExchange, you’ll often come across terms like “Over 49.5 Runs” or “Under 3.5 Wickets” in the live or pre-match sections. These are part of what’s known as Over/Under betting markets—and they’re among the simplest and most exciting formats to play.

In this blog, we’ll explain how these markets work, why they’re so popular, and how to use them to your advantage.


🧠 What Is Over/Under Betting?

Over/Under betting means you are wagering whether a specific event in the game will go over or under a predetermined number set by the bookmaker.

Examples:

  • Total Runs in First 10 Overs – Over/Under 72.5
  • Total Wickets in Innings – Over/Under 5.5
  • Individual Player Runs – Over/Under 39.5

You simply bet on whether the actual outcome will be:

  • Over the line (e.g., more than 72.5 runs), or
  • Under the line (e.g., less than 72.5 runs)

🎯 It doesn’t matter who wins the match—you’re betting on performance numbers.


📍 Where Can You Find These on RadhaExchange?

Over/Under markets are typically available in:

  • Live Betting Section (Session Bets)
  • Match Previews
  • Fantasy Player Stats
  • Innings-based markets (Total Runs, Wickets, Sixes, etc.)

📈 Why Over/Under Markets Are So Popular

✅ Simple to Understand

Even beginners can bet confidently without predicting a match winner.

✅ Available in All Match Formats

Whether it’s IPL, T20, ODI, or Test—Over/Under works everywhere.

✅ Great for Short-Term Betting

You can bet for just 6 overs, 1 innings, or even 1 player performance.

✅ Pairs Well with Strategy

Use pitch reports, weather data, and form to make accurate Over/Under calls.


🔎 Tips for Winning Over/Under Bets

  1. Use Pitch & Weather Info
    • Flat pitch? Likely to be “Over” on runs.
    • Overcast day? Might favor “Under” on boundaries.
  2. Check Player Form
    • A batter in form? Back “Over” in individual run markets.
    • Struggling bowler? Go “Over” on runs conceded.
  3. Monitor Toss Impact
    • Teams chasing aggressively may exceed early Over/Under targets.
    • Defending teams may score slower in the first half.
  4. Watch for Bowling Matchups
    • Spin-heavy teams vs left-handers can impact run totals.
  5. Go Live for Better Value
    • Odds shift ball-by-ball. If you time it right, you can enter at a more favorable Over/Under line.

📉 Risk to Watch Out For

  • Sudden wickets or rain interruptions can swing the outcome.
  • Live odds are dynamic—bet only if you’ve analyzed the trend.
  • Stick to a flat betting amount to avoid emotional decisions.

💡 Bonus Tip: Combine with Session Bets

On RadhaExchange, Over/Under markets blend perfectly with session betting, especially for:

  • Total runs in 6 or 10 overs
  • Over/Under 1.5 sixes in the next over
  • Team total after 20 overs
