Cricket betting at cricex — a complete guide to betting on T20, ODI and Test matches
From BPL to IPL, T20 World Cup to Test series — bet on every cricket format at cricex. Put your analysis to work across a wide range of markets, from match winner, toss, and top batsman to live in-play.
Three cricket formats and favourite competitions
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the differences between formats. Each format has its own pace, and the available betting markets differ accordingly.
In this 20-over format, the result can swing in a single over. BPL and IPL are the T20 leagues most familiar to Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup always draw special attention. Live betting is most active in this format — every ball creates a new opportunity.
In a 50-over one-day match, the game develops in a more planned way across two innings. Bangladesh's performances against major sides in ICC ODI tournaments directly affect the odds. Markets extend across every batting position, from opener to finisher.
In a five-day Test match, a draw is a possible result, so there are three betting outcomes: Team A win, Team B win, and draw. Pitch conditions and weather directly influence Test odds. Test betting appeals to those who enjoy deep cricket analysis.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at cricex. The key difference between cricket and football is how scoring works — football has fewer goals, so the over/under market works differently. In cricket, many runs can come in a single over, making run-based markets more popular. Football offers markets like handicap and corners alongside match winner, which do not exist in cricket.
Sports like badminton, tennis, and kabaddi have fewer markets, but each offers basic options such as match winner or set winner. Just as in-play odds in cricket shift quickly after a wicket, tennis odds update after each set.
7 popular betting markets
Each market calls for a different approach. Below is a brief introduction to seven markets with straightforward examples.
Picking which team will win the match is the simplest market. In T20 or ODI, choose between the two sides. For example — Team A vs Team B, you think Team A has the edge, so you place your bet on them.
Simple All formatsThis market is about who wins the toss before the match starts — it depends entirely on chance. Odds for both sides are usually similar. The toss result is decided just a few minutes before play begins.
Quick result LiveA bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. If Team A's opener is in good form, betting on them may seem reasonable — but unexpected outcomes are always possible in cricket.
Skill-based ODIThis market is about whether total runs in the match will be over or under a set number — it depends on both teams' batting strength and the pitch type. More wickets falling increases the chance of fewer runs being scored.
Analytical T20 / ODIA bet on who will take the most wickets. Spinners tend to benefit on spin-friendly pitches, while pacers dominate on grassy surfaces — reading the conditions helps when entering this market.
Pitch-dependent TestCombine multiple markets into one multi bet. If every selection is correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection means losing the entire bet. Example: pick match winners from three different matches and combine them — the odds multiply together.
High return Higher riskA bet on how many runs a team will score in the powerplay overs (first 6 overs in T20, first 10 overs in ODI). The openers' form and the fielding restrictions are important factors to consider.
In-play T20Odds are expressed in three ways
The same odds can be shown as decimal, fractional, or American. Once you understand one, the others come easily.
Example 1 — a match between evenly matched teams
If Team A wins, how much comes back on a ৳500 bet? See the same odds in all three formats:
Decimal: 2.50 — stake × odds = total return
Fractional: 3/2 — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked
American: +150 — ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet
If you win a ৳500 bet, your total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake back). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
Team B is the favourite, so the return is lower but they are considered more likely to win:
Decimal: 1.50
Fractional: 1/2 — ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked
American: -200 — you must bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit
If you win a ৳500 bet, you get back ৳750 (৳250 profit). A negative American odds figure means that is the amount you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Calculating a multi bet
You place bets on three separate matches — decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.70. Combining all three into a multi bet gives combined odds of:
1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (approx.)
৳100 bet → total return if you win: ৳381
But if even one of the three is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets can be great fun, but the risk is higher. One wrong selection loses the entire bet — keep that in mind before taking part.

Do odds change?
Yes — odds change both before the match starts and during live play. When more people bet on one team, that team's odds shorten. In in-play betting, odds update instantly after a wicket or a big over.
Live betting — odds shift when wickets fall
Betting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In-play betting at cricex is most active in T20 cricket — the market situation changes after every over. The table below shows how odds move in different situations:
| Situation | Batting team's odds | Bowling team's odds |
|---|---|---|
| Quick wickets | Rise (team falls behind) | Fall (team moves ahead) |
| Big over (18+ runs) | Fall (team moves ahead) | Fall |
| 3 wickets in the powerplay | Rise significantly | Fall significantly |
| 150+ runs needed in last 5 overs | Fall | Rise |
| Duckworth-Lewis situation | Both teams' odds are reassessed | |
In-play betting requires quick decisions. Keep in mind — you must place your bet before the live market closes; after that the opportunity is gone.
Some useful tips before you start betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Following the habits below keeps the experience enjoyable.
Stick to your budget
Decide how much you will bet before each match. Avoid placing larger bets to chase losses.
Focus on one market
Start by building knowledge in one market (such as match winner). Betting across all markets at once can become confusing.
Take your time with live betting
Rushing in in-play betting leads to poor decisions. Instead of betting immediately after a big moment, take time to assess the situation.
Betting is entertainment
Betting is not a way to earn income — it is a way to enjoy cricket. Follow responsible betting practices and take a break when needed.
