Quick answer
In this search, 'prediction' still means a market with a specific name. Cricket and football on King Exchange share one balance and login, but use different market names. Match odds and sessions are cricket terms; 1X2 and both teams to score belong to football. On every market you can back or lay.
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Cricket and football share one King Exchange login and balance, and you can back or lay on every market.
- Popular cricket markets are match odds, the toss, sessions and player markets.
- Popular football markets are 1X2, both teams to score, over/under goals and Asian handicap.
- A cricket session bet can be over in four overs, while a football match can stay 0-0 until the 70th minute, so size stakes differently.
- These are market names. They aren't official King Exchange predictions.
Which cricket markets are most popular?
Match odds is the most popular cricket market: you back a team to win or lay it to lose. The toss is a coin flip best kept small, session markets let you bet Yes or No on runs after a set over, and player markets depend on the XI.
- Match odds: which team wins under the printed rules. Back a team to win or lay it to lose.
- Toss: the coin flip. Keep stakes small if you use it.
- Session: runs after a set over, bet as Yes (over the line) or No (under). A team can win the match while your session bet loses.
- Player markets: these depend on the XI. Check the rules for players who don't bat.
Which football markets are most popular?
The most popular football market is match odds (1X2): home win, draw or away win over 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Both teams to score, over/under goals and Asian handicap, where one side starts with a goal head start, are close behind. Live totals shift after an early goal.
- Match odds (1X2): home win, draw or away win over 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
- Both teams to score: yes or no.
- Over/under goals: above or below a set number. Live totals shift after an early goal.
- Asian handicap: one side starts with a goal head start. See football betting.
Don't carry a cricket session stake over to a 90-minute football bet. A football match can stay 0-0 until the 70th minute, while a T20 session can be over in four overs, which is why stake sizes should differ.
What should you know about in-play?
Both sports need a stream for live betting. With a delay you miss a goal or a six before you see it. If you can't watch, stick to pre-match. Markets also pause after goals, wickets and boundaries, then reopen at new prices.
