Cricket is more than just a national pastime in India. Cricket is by far the most beloved sport in the country. Millions of Indians tune in to watch it on television, attend matches, and play games with friends. Today technology has added another option to the mix for the cricket lover. That is sports betting online. We are going to give you a rundown on how this is done. But first, let’s look at a little of cricket history so you can see just how important this activity is to the people of India.

The beginning

Cricket was created by the English somewhere around the 16th century. Until 1947, India was part of the English Empire, so Cricket was introduced to the Indian people through the English. Soon games were being played across the nation. The first team, the Oriental Cricket Club, was formed in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1848. Eventually, the Oriental Cricket Club was invited to play in Europe. This sparked the creation of more teams in India. Soon India was famous globally for their commitment to the game.

By 1932 India had begun expanding. That year they were granted test match status, and they played against the England international team. While in their test match status, they played 37 matches. The matches included 26 first-class fixtures. They created competitions that embraced more players and more teams.

Online Sports Betting

It is a natural progression for people who love a game to enjoy placing a wager on a game. In a country as dedicated to Cricket as India is, millions of people bet on the games. Many of these people turn to Lottoland for their online sportsbook betting opportunities. Their evolved technology and world-class computer systems make betting online easy and secure. With cricket being online at Lottoland, you can place bets before a game or place a live bet during a game. There are even life-like virtual games that allow you the opportunity to bet 24/7.
