Understanding the Points System
The foundation of a winning strategy is understanding how points are allocated. Different phases of the game offer different point values for correct predictions.
Powerplay (Balls 1-36)
6 points per correct prediction. Easier to predict due to field restrictions, but lower point value.
Middle Overs (Balls 37-96)
4 points per correct prediction. Lowest point value but most balls available.
Death Overs (Balls 97-120)
6-24 points per correct prediction. Highest risk but highest reward, especially balls 115-120 (24 points each).

Pro Tips & Insights
Analyze Team Strategies
Study how teams approach different phases. Aggressive teams tend to hit more in powerplay, leading to fewer dot balls. Defensive teams preserve wickets, resulting in more dots.
Time Your Entry
Enter contests early to have maximum time for research. Late entries might miss critical team news like player changes or pitch conditions.
Study Bowler Stats
Look at economy rates and dot ball percentages of bowlers likely to bowl in death overs. Specialist death bowlers are key to predicting high-value balls.
Death Over Focus
A single correct prediction in balls 115-120 equals 4 correct predictions in middle overs. Prioritize these high-value balls in your strategy.
Track Your Performance
Keep a record of your predictions and results. Identify patterns in your successful predictions and learn from mistakes.
Diversify Predictions
Don't put all predictions in one phase. Spread them out to minimize risk if one phase doesn't go as expected.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring Death Overs
Many beginners avoid death overs due to unpredictability. However, even one correct prediction (24 points) can make the difference between winning and losing.
Random Predictions
Don't select ball numbers randomly. Each prediction should be based on analysis of teams, bowlers, pitch, and historical data.
Overconfidence
Even experts can't predict cricket with 100% accuracy. Start small, learn the patterns, and gradually increase your stakes as you improve.
Chasing Losses
Don't increase stakes drastically after losses. Stick to your strategy and budget. Consistency is key to long-term success.
