Sporting Index is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.1st 15 Overs Runs Bets - How do they work?Sporting Index make a prediction on the number of runs an international cricket team will make during the 1st 15 overs of a live/televised ODI. You then decide whether this prediction is either too high or too low.ExampleTake a live England v Australia ODI as an example. Sporting Index might predict that England will make 63 to 68 runs during the 1st 15 overs. You would have a straight forward choice to make for this spread:Will England make more than 68 runs?orWill England make less than 63 runs?Let's say that you thought England were going to get off to a flyer against the Aussies. You would therefore buy (bet 'high') at 68 runs for a stake of your choice. In this case, your stake is the free £10 per Run Bet.In the end, the first 15 overs finished with England's batsmen in great form, managing to make 75 runs. Therefore had you bought (bet 'high') at 68 runs, you would have won 7 times your stake:(75 - 68) x your stake = 7 x £10 = £70 profitHowever, had this been a normal bet (and not a free bet) then you could lose more than your original stake. Let's say you bought (bet 'high') on England runs for the 1st 15 overs at 68 runs, but in the end they only managed to make 60 runs. Then you would lose 8 times your stake. So, if you were betting £3 per run, you would lose:(60 - 68) x your stake = -8 x £3 = £24 lossRemember that with a Runs Bet it doesn't matter which team wins the ODI; it's only the number of runs that your chosen team makes in the 1st 15 overs that counts. One of the best things about this free bet offer from Sporting Index is that the maximum you can lose is?absolutely nothing! So it doesn't matter how badly England performs.
