Indian Premier League Betting and Odds at NetBet Sport

The Indian Premier League is the biggest franchise tournament in white-ball cricket. First played in 2008, the IPL has revolutionised the sport, helping turn the T20 format into a global phenomenon.

Since its inception, other franchise leagues have been created around the world, including Australia’s Big Bash League, the Pakistan Super League, The Hundred and SA20. However, the IPL remains by far the most prestigious, regularly attracting the best cricketers in the world.

Virat Kohli, Shane Warne, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, AB De Villiers, David Warner, Jos Buttler and Jasprit Bumrah are just some of the sport’s superstars to have lit up the IPL stage.

Cricket does not get any more exciting than the IPL, and here at NetBet, we have the perfect platform to place bets on the tournament, whether they be pre-match, in-play or outright wagers.

With so many markets to choose from, all featuring the best Indian Premier League odds, there is something for all cricket lovers.

Indian Premier League Betting Tips

Head-to-head records: As is the case with other domestic leagues, certain teams just seem to shine against another. For example, prior to the 2026 season, CSK had won 20 of 32 matches against KKR, including a 3/3 record in the 2021 campaign. So even with high player turnover in the IPL, it is vital to look at the head-to-head stats - particularly at the various different grounds - before analysing the odds.

Condition of the pitch: Pitch conditions can have a huge impact on an IPL game. If a pitch is flat, it is easier for the batsmen to time the ball and score runs. But if a pitch is dry with cracks, which is quite common in the subcontinent, it really brings the spin bowlers into play. So before looking at any IPL odds, have a thorough read of pitch reports from a trusted online cricket source.

Team news: Cricket is a team game, and as is the case with football, rugby or NFL, the absence of just one player can be huge. So keeping up to date with team/injury news is a vital part of any IPL betting strategy, and with so much up-to-date information easily accessible on the internet, it is not exactly a chore!

Popular ways to bet on the Indian Premier League

Match bets: The most common way to bet on IPL games, and our pre-match offering is extensive. Predict who will be the Top Batter or Bowler, select which team will hit the most sixes and much, much more.

Outright bets:

Accas: IPL matches come thick and fast during the season, with one usually scheduled every day during the opening round. Some days even see two IPL matches take place. So this fits in perfectly with an accumulator bet, where you combine markets from multiple matches into one wager with increased odds. To do this, simply add the IPL selections to your betslip and then add your stake in the ‘Combi’ box.

FAQs

Is live betting available for Indian Premier League matches?

Absolutely. Live betting, or in-play betting, markets are available for all IPL contests. Bet on the number of runs in the next over, whether there will be a wicket in the next over and much more! The odds within our in-play IPL markets adjust according to the state of play in the game, so be watchful. A succession of sixes or a fantastic delivery from the bowler could see the real-time odds fluctuate a fair bit!

What happens if a game is called off due to bad weather?

If an IPL game is called off due to inclement weather, which is still quite regular even in India’s dry season, your bet will be declared void and the stake returned to you. When a match is abandoned in this manner, it is not replayed at a later date, instead declared as a ‘No Result’, with each team receiving one point.

Can I combine Indian Premier League bets with other sports?

Yes, you can combine IPL matches with games from other competitions - such as the English Premier League or UEFA Champions League - to create an accumulator bet.
