What is "draw" betting in relation to the game of cricket?

Draw betting is only available in test matches (5 day format of the game).

This is the result when a match is not completed within the 5 allocated days,

A bettor who is betting for a draw would usually be confident in:

- both teams batting abilty to bat for extended periods of time

or

- the match being affected by weather and significant play being lost.

'Draw' betting should not be confused with 'Tie' betting. A cricket match is a tie when the match is completed with both sides having made the same amount of runs. In this case, bets are often made void or settled as a dead heat between the 2 sides (depending on the rules of the individual agency).

India is well known to play for a draw or choke and they bet on anything that moves.They invented match fixing and Indian bookmakers always have something on the go.
