American Odds
Ozoon has cricket odds on Tests, ODIs and T20 leagues including the IPL, Big Bash, CPL and GT20 Canada, with pre-match and in-play markets. Odds show in American format by default, and our bet slip works out your return in CAD.
A minus sign marks the favourite. At -200, you stake $200 to win $100. A plus sign marks the underdog. At +150, a $100 stake wins $150. You can switch to decimal or fractional odds in your account settings.
On a $20 bet, India at +150 would return $50: $30 profit plus your $20 stake. Australia at -200 would return $30: $10 profit plus your stake. In decimal, those prices are 2.50 and 1.50.
India might be a heavy favourite in a home Test and close to even money against the same opponent in a T20. In T20 games each side gets only 20 overs, so one big innings from a player can decide the match, and underdogs win more often. The prices on the two sides sit closer together as a result. ODIs give the stronger team more time to show it. Tests last up to five days, so the pitch, the bowling attack and the weather count for far more. The draw is also a real third result, which the match odds have to account for.
The toss. In a Test, the captain who wins it can choose to bat or bowl first depending on favourable conditions. In evening T20s and ODIs, dew can make the ball hard to grip later on, which helps the side batting second, so captains often choose to bowl. Prices regularly move between the toss and the first ball.
Pitch and weather. Green, damp pitches help seam bowlers, and dry surfaces help spinners, especially later in a Test. Forecast rain affects the draw price in Tests and the totals line in shorter formats.
Team news. Squads change a lot between formats, and the final XI isn't confirmed until the toss, so a missing strike bowler can shift a price late.

Most people start with the match winner. In T20s and ODIs, it's a straight choice between two teams. In Tests, the draw is a third option, and Ozoon also offers Draw No Bet, which refunds your stake if the match is drawn.
Totals let you bet on runs rather than the result: first-innings runs, team runs, match runs, or runs in the powerplay (the first six overs of a T20). Handicaps give one side a head start. If you back India at -25.5 runs, they need to win by 26 or more.
Beyond those, the main options are:
Live betting follows the match as it happens. Prices move with every wicket and every change in the run rate, and the gaps between overs are when most in-play bets get placed.
These are the main cricket settlement rules at Ozoon. The full rules are in the Ozoon sports betting rules.
