There are two types of cricket wagers that you can make. Pre-match cricket predictions and in-play cricket predictions. With a pre-match cricket prediction, what you are doing is betting on a particular market before the match has started. On the other hands, an in-play cricket prediction is one that you make when the action has already started. The advantage of making a pre-match cricket prediction is that you have time to do a bit of research and think it through. However, with an in-play bet, the odds are changing constantly, so you do not have as much time to think your bet through.
