TL;DR
- Cricket betting tips rely on data: pitch report, head-to-head, venue history, and player form.
- Toss betting is 50-50 — focus on the decision after the toss instead.
- Session betting requires understanding powerplay scoring rates and death-overs bowling strength.

Bankroll Management
- Never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on a single match
- Track your predictions — keep a record of wins and losses
- Avoid parlays — single match predictions are hard enough
- Do not chase losses — take a break after 3 consecutive losses
- Check local laws — cricket betting is illegal in many Indian states
