India is a country where cricket is nothing short of a religion and the youth (and the senior citizens) of the country are absolutely obsessed with the game of cricket. Indian cricket fans are perhaps the most knowledgeable fans in the world as they follow the game like clockwork. They know the averages, strike rates, even the records with respect to different kinds of pitches are etched in the minds of the cricket fans. Most of this knowledge for the longest time was recreation but what if this knowledge helps you earn money. That’s what fantasy cricket is about. Here we are offering you free cricket betting tips on how you can earn by your knowledge of cricket and the factors that really help you win in the fantasy cricket game.
How does it work?
Fantasy cricket is usually a lot more about creating a team which performs the best on the day. Different games have different contests and once a player enters into the contest, there is a starting amount of entry fee which is charged from the player. Once the fee is charged, the player can make a team where the player selects a fantasy team out of the allocated amount of points. There is a restriction placed on the number of wicket keepers, batsmen, allrounders and bowlers that are to be selected. Such selections usually involve balancing enough points and speculating which player would do well. It is important that the fantasy player doesn’t use all the points at one place. They would be better off selecting players and using points judiciously so that they give themselves the best chance of being in the leaderboard. Being in the leaderboard also depends a lot on the selection of captain and vice captains.
Points Systems
Different Fantasy platforms usually have a system of point where the fantasy player gets points for runs and wickets as well as for catches and runouts. There are points which are also given for the strike rates and economy rates. Fours and sixes are also allocated points and may come in handy in the game.
Captain and Vice-Captain
The captain is not to be confused with the captain of the playing team but instead the person who is expected to be the best performer of the tournament. The points of the captain get doubled, this is irrespective of whether he is a bowler or a batsman. The runs that he scores and the wickets that he takes are often the factors which are taken into consideration while making the choice of captain. The vice-captain choice is also important as the points of the vice-captain get increased by 1.5 times. It is therefore a good choice to make the players who are in form as the captain and vice-captain choices. This could very well be the difference involved in winning and losing in the fantasy games.
What happens to the money invested if we lose?
The entry fee usually is variable depending upon the kind of competition you enter. The entry fee gets refunded if you score a certain amount of points and be ranked in a certain position. Below a certain money, the money gets confiscated. The option that a player has is to invest the profit that has been made from one game into the next contest.
So, with the advent of fantasy game, it is becoming a good source of income for a lot of people. It is a relatively risk-free way of earning money if you start with low finances. The finances increase the amount of risk and reward.
