Cricket Formats and Competitions

To make the right decisions in cricket betting, you first need to understand the difference between formats. Each format has its own pace, strategy, and betting markets — so preparation before a match starts is important.

T20 Cricket

Fast scoring, huge runs, and matches that can turn in an instant — that is the nature of T20. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. This format offers the widest range of over-by-over betting markets.

ODI Cricket

In a fifty-over one-day match, strategy and patience play a bigger role. Bangladesh Tigers ODI series generate enormous interest across the country. Top batsman, highest runs, and wickets markets are especially popular in this format.

Test Cricket

In a five-day Test, the course of a match can shift far more often. A draw is a possible outcome here, so the match winner market has three options. With play running over a long period, live betting opportunities are the greatest.

The Competitions Most Popular for Betting

For Bangladeshi fans, BPL means a winter celebration — from the stadiums in Dhaka to the rest of the country, the league is the talk of the town for months. During BPL, crikey keeps detailed markets open before and during every match.

IPL is no less popular in Bangladesh. Millions of Bangladeshi fans follow IPL every season. Alongside that, crikey also offers betting on the ICC T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series.

Beyond cricket, crikey also has strong markets for basketball betting. Use the crikey Bet platform to place bets on multiple sports at the same time.

Popular Betting Markets

Cricket betting is not limited to one market — each match has dozens of options. Below is an introduction to the most commonly used markets.

Match Winner

Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you bet on Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.

Toss Winner

You can bet on the outcome of the toss before a match starts. This is a pure 50-50 market — the match situation has no effect here.

Top Batsman

You bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Example: which player will score the highest runs for Team A — a specific batsman is selected here.

Total Runs Over/Under

You decide whether the total runs in a match will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: will the combined total runs of both teams be more than 320 — place your bet in this market.

First Wicket Runs

An over/under market on how many runs the batting team will score before the first wicket falls. Pitch conditions and opening pace bowling are important factors here.

Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)

Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win the entire bet — if even one is wrong, the whole bet is lost. The risk is higher, but the return can be much larger.

How to Read Odds

Odds are written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three give the same information, just presented differently. The two examples below will make this clear.

Example 1 — If Team A wins (stake ৳200)

Format	Odds	Explanation
Decimal	2.25	Stake × Odds = Return
Fractional	5/4	৳5 profit for every ৳4
American	+125	৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet

If Team A wins with a ৳200 stake, the total return is ৳450 (profit ৳250 + stake ৳200). If you lose, the full ৳200 is gone.

Example 2 — If favourite Team B wins (stake ৳200)

Format	Odds	Explanation
Decimal	1.25	Stake × Odds = Return
Fractional	1/4	৳1 profit for every ৳4
American	-400	৳400 bet needed to profit ৳100

If Team B wins with a ৳200 stake, the total return is ৳250 (profit ৳50 + stake ৳200). Favourites have lower odds, so the profit is also lower.

American minus odds (e.g. -400) indicate the favourite: they show exactly how much you need to bet to profit ৳100. Plus odds (e.g. +125) indicate the underdog: they show how much you will profit on a ৳100 bet.

● Live Betting

Change Your Bet While the Match Is On

Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. After every wicket, at the end of every over, odds change — and picking the right market at that moment creates an opportunity.

For example: if Team A makes a strong start, Team B's odds go up. Betting on Team B at that moment means a chance at a higher return. Keep in mind, though, that anything can happen on a cricket field.

crikey's live betting interface works smoothly on mobile. You can follow live matches and place bets on the crikey App.

What happens when a wicket falls?

After a wicket falls, the batting team's chances of scoring decrease, so their match winner odds go up. This change is immediate.

Odds movement during the powerplay

If runs come quickly in the first six overs of a T20, the odds on the total runs over market drop — live betting is especially active here.

Cash Out Feature

In some markets, you can settle your bet before the match ends, which is called cash out. It is one way to manage your risk.

Football and Other Sports

Alongside cricket, crikey also offers football betting. From the English Premier League to local tournaments — match winner, over/under goals, and scorer markets are available. One key difference in football betting is that a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market always has three options.

In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so the market is straightforward — one of two teams wins. In Test matches, a draw is possible. It is important to understand the market structure for each format before betting.

If you are interested in basketball betting, you will find detailed information on that page — crikey also has markets for international leagues including the NBA.

Useful Tips for Betting

Betting is a form of entertainment. The advice below will help you play more carefully.

Stick to a Budget

Decide in advance how much you will bet each week or each series. Going beyond that set limit is not a good idea — this is the most important habit to build.

Focus on one market

Start with simple markets like match winner or total runs to get used to things. Placing bets across too many markets at once makes them hard to keep track of.

Avoid Rushing in Live Betting

Odds change quickly in live markets. Rather than placing a bet in a hurry, watch how the match is going and then make your decision.

Understand the Risk in Multi Bets

Multi bets offer higher returns, but the whole bet is lost if any selection is wrong. Start by limiting yourself to two or three selections.

Play Responsibly

Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. If you lose, it is better not to think about placing more bets to recover the loss. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

T20 is the most popular format for betting in Bangladesh because matches are short and results come quickly. Betting activity is highest during the BPL and IPL seasons. Test matches, however, offer extended live betting opportunities, so they have their own appeal.
