Big Bash Popular Betting Markets
- Most Sixes: The Australian Big Bash lives up to the name, with batters looking to smash the ball to all corners of the stadium. This means that betting on the team to score the most sixes in a specific game is as interesting as it is unpredictable. Indeed, a side may be more inclined to go big with the bat, but if they are inserted to bat first and lose quick wickets, this could see batters looking for other ways to score runs, opening it up for the other side to score the most maximums.
- Top Batter: The battle between bat and ball is incredibly exciting, but the former tends to win more often than the latter. Smaller boundaries and players that can hit 360 degrees simply means that the ball could disappear at any moment. Wagering on which player will score the most runs in a game or the tournament is very unpredictable as all manner of factors could seriously impact the top run scorer.
