Cricket Betting at wj1 – Best Odds for Filipino Fans

Why Cricket Betting?

Cricket and Filipino Bettors – A Growing Love Story

If you asked a Filipino bettor five years ago whether they followed cricket, most would have shrugged. Today, thanks to the IPL's explosive growth on streaming platforms and the massive Filipino OFW communities in cricket-loving countries like India, the UAE, Australia, and the UK, cricket has become one of the fastest-growing sports betting categories on wj1.

Fans in Metro Manila watch the IPL live via streaming apps. Families in Cebu and Davao with relatives working abroad have developed genuine team loyalties — Mumbai Indians have a surprisingly strong following in the Visayas region. And the shorter formats, particularly T20 and T10, suit the Filipino preference for fast, high-energy sport, similar to how the PBA's shorter quarters make basketball so watchable here.

At wj1, the cricket sportsbook is designed around how Filipino bettors actually want to engage with the sport. Odds are displayed in decimal format that's easy to read, markets are updated ball by ball during live play, and minimum bet amounts are set low enough for casual fans to participate without high financial commitment. Fund your cricket bets via GCash or Maya and your winnings come back the same way — fast, with no bank trip required.

New to cricket betting? Start with match winner markets — these are the simplest and most straightforward. Once you are comfortable with how odds work, explore run line bets, over/under totals, and player prop markets.

Game Formats

Cricket Formats Available at wj1

Cricket is not a single game — it is four distinct formats, each with its own rhythm, strategy, and betting dynamics. wj1 covers them all.

🏟️ Test Match

Test Cricket

The purest, longest form. Played over five days with two innings per team. The draw is a genuine outcome, and momentum can shift dramatically across days. At wj1, Test betting markets include match result (Win/Draw/Win), series winner, top batsman, and session run totals — each with distinct strategic depth.

🌍 ODI

One Day International

50 overs per side, typically completing in a single day. The ICC Cricket World Cup is the ODI showpiece event — it drives the highest betting volumes of any cricket tournament on wj1. Markets include first powerplay runs, method of first dismissal, and 50+ run scorer props alongside standard match result betting.

⚡ T20

Twenty20

The fastest, most explosive format — 20 overs per side, completed in under four hours. The IPL is the world's most popular T20 competition and consistently generates the highest cricket betting action at wj1. Ball-by-ball in-play betting is especially popular here. T20 also brings the ICC T20 World Cup, Big Bash League, and PSL.

🚀 T10

T10 League

Ten overs per side — a match wraps in 90 minutes. Originating in the UAE, T10 is the ultra-fast format gaining traction across Asian betting markets. Maximum aggression from ball one, with spectacular scoring rates. wj1 covers the Abu Dhabi T10 League and selected bilateral T10 series as they are scheduled.

Betting Markets

Cricket Bet Types Available at wj1

wj1 offers over 300 distinct cricket markets across pre-match and in-play betting. Here are the most popular bet types Filipino players use.

Match Winner

The simplest market — pick which team wins the match. For T20 and ODI there is no draw, so it is a two-way market. For Test matches a draw is included as a third option, which often carries attractive odds.

Example: India to beat Pakistan at odds 1.85 → ₱1,000 bet pays ₱1,850 if India wins.

Top Batsman

Bet on which player scores the most runs for their team or across the entire match. One of the most popular prop markets at wj1 — especially during IPL when big-name batters like Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or Warner are in form.

Example: Virat Kohli top scorer for India at 3.50 odds → ₱500 bet pays ₱1,750 if he leads India's scoring.

Total Runs Over/Under

Bet on whether the combined total runs in an innings, session, or full match will be over or under the wj1 line. A popular market for T20 because scoring rates are predictable based on pitch conditions and team composition.

Example: India first innings Over 175.5 runs at 1.90 → bet ₱1,000 and collect ₱1,900 if India scores 176+.

Man of the Match

A high-reward prop market — predict who will receive the official Man of the Match award. Odds can range from 4.00 to 15.00+ for non-obvious picks, making this a favourite for Filipino bettors looking for bigger returns on smaller stakes.

Example: Jasprit Bumrah as Man of the Match at 5.00 → ₱200 bet pays ₱1,000 if he wins the award.

First Over Runs

Predict how many runs are scored in the very first over of an innings. A fast-action market that resolves within the first six balls of a T20 innings. Bettors who follow opening pair matchups love this market for its quick turnaround.

Example: First over 7+ runs at 1.95 → ₱500 bet pays ₱975 if the opening over yields 7 or more runs.

Series / Tournament Winner

Long-term outright markets on who wins an entire series or tournament. These markets open months before the competition starts and offer the best value odds. IPL winner and ICC World Cup winner markets are available at wj1 from the tournament draw stage.

Example: Mumbai Indians to win IPL at 5.50 → ₱1,000 bet pays ₱5,500 if they lift the trophy.

Bettor's Glossary

Cricket Betting Terms You Should Know

If you are coming to cricket betting from a PBA or sabong background, some of the cricket-specific terminology can be unfamiliar. Here is a quick reference guide to the key terms you will encounter when betting at wj1.

Understanding these terms makes your wj1 betting experience smoother — you will know exactly what each market means and how settlements work before you place a single peso.

Over

A set of six consecutive balls bowled by one bowler. A T20 innings has 20 overs; an ODI has 50. Many wj1 markets are based on per-over or over-range run totals.

Run Line

A handicap market where one team is given a head start of runs (e.g., Team A -5.5 runs). Similar to the point spread in basketball betting — it adjusts the odds to balance one-sided matchups.

Wicket

The dismissal of a batsman. Many wj1 markets include wicket totals, method of next dismissal (caught / bowled / LBW), and over/under wickets for an innings.

Powerplay

The first 6 overs in T20 or first 10 overs in ODI when fielding restrictions are in place — typically high-scoring. wj1 offers dedicated powerplay run total markets.

DLS Method

Duckworth-Lewis-Stern — the mathematical system used to recalculate targets when rain interrupts a match. Bets on reduced-overs matches settle based on the DLS-adjusted target and result.

Innings Runs (Total)

An over/under market on the total runs scored by one team in their innings. The most popular standalone market for Test sessions on wj1.

Cash Out

wj1's cash-out feature lets you settle a live bet before the match ends — either to lock in a profit when you are ahead or to minimize a loss when the match is turning against you.

Accumulator (Parlay)

Combining multiple selections into a single bet where all must win for a payout. Higher risk but multiplied odds — a favourite for Filipino players betting across multiple IPL matches on the same day.
