When you want to bet on “Runs at Fall of the First Wicket” of a T20/ODI match, the online betting company will offer you the Over and Under options of a fractional run (like – 21.5 runs).
Besides, there can be a question raise Why .5 or fractional runs? There’s certainly a reason behind it. Here, we want to make it clear to you.
Generally, the bets like Over/Under will include “.5“. So, the confusing thing is how do teams score the .5 runs? Actually, it is not confusing. It makes this type of bet easier because it skips the possibility of a draw at all.
However,
after choosing the option given by the betting company, you have to give out your stakes for the betting purpose. After that, if your option matches the final result of the T20/ODI match, then you will win the bet in a T20/ODI match.
On the other hand, if your option doesn’t match with the final result of the T20/ODI match, then you will lose the bet. Moreover, if you lose the bet then you will lose the stake too.
For example, assume a T20/ODI match is about to happen between Pakistan and Bangladesh. You made a bet of 100 dollars that the first wicket will fall under 21.5 runs. In the end, it seems the first wicket falls on 21 runs in this T20/ODI match. So, it matches your option. As a result, you win the bet and claim the stakes!
On the other hand, if you choose the option of over 21.5 runs, then you could lose the bet and the stakes for sure.
