crickex pro Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Bet on every major match in international cricket — BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and more — across match winner, toss, top batsman and over/run markets, with live in-play options.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — how does betting work in each?
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a different pace of play, so betting markets work differently across them.
T20 is the fastest format. The match situation can change with every ball, so odds in live betting markets move quickly. BPL and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. Matches involving the Bangladesh cricket team, the Tigers, attract the most interest.
ODI matches have fifty overs, so mid-match statistics — run rate, wickets and partnerships — play a role in betting decisions. Major ICC tournament ODI matches tend to have a larger number of available markets.
Test cricket runs over five days — innings top run scorer, series result and match draw markets are popular here. Test betting holds particular appeal for those who enjoy statistical analysis.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
crickex pro is not limited to cricket — you can bet on football and several other sports as well.
Football offers match winner, goalscorer and half-time result markets. In cricket, three outcomes are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw — but the draw applies only in Test matches; T20 and ODI have no draw, so odds are split between the two teams. In football, a draw is a separate market, which makes it fundamentally different from T20 cricket betting.

Popular betting markets — how do they work?
Cricket offers a variety of markets. Here is a brief introduction to seven common ones.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the most straightforward market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you choose between two options. For example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A will win, bet accordingly.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match begins — this market is unrelated to the match result. Odds are usually close for both teams. This market closes as soon as the match starts.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a team in a given innings — this market accepts bets on multiple options. The team's batting order and pitch conditions generally influence this bet.
Total Runs — Over / Under
Will the total runs in an innings or the whole match be above (over) or below (under) a set number — pitch and weather conditions matter here. Example: "Total runs will be more than 160" — if you think they will be, bet on over.
Multi Bet
You can combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win. For example: correctly picking the winners of three matches multiplies all three odds together for a higher return — but one wrong pick loses the entire bet.
Man of the Match
Who will receive the best performer award at the end of the match — this market lists odds for multiple players. All-round performers who contribute with both bat and ball tend to be among the front-runners.
First Wicket Partnership Runs
Will the batting team's opening partnership score above or below a set number — this market is settled early in the innings. Many bettors choose it based on the form of the openers.
Odds in three formats — how do you read them?
The odds for the same match can be displayed in decimal, fractional or American format. All three convey the same information — only the way they are expressed differs.
See the example below. Suppose Team A will win — the same odds are shown in three ways:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 bet (profit ৳2) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Profit of ৳2 for every ৳1 bet |
| American | +200 | Profit of ৳200 on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Team A, ৳1,000 bet, odds 3.00: If it wins, total return is ৳3,000 (profit ৳2,000 plus original stake ৳1,000). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite), odds 1.25: A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 in total (profit of only ৳250). In American format this is -400, meaning you need to bet ৳400 to make a ৳100 profit.
A favourite's odds are usually low, so the return is smaller — but they are considered more likely to win. An underdog's odds are higher and the potential return is greater, though the chance of winning is less certain.
In-play betting during the match — odds shift with every wicket and over
In-play betting means you can place bets after the match has started — odds keep changing as the match situation develops.
Live betting in cricket is particularly engaging because the match can turn at any moment. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise and the bowling team's odds come down.
For example: in a T20 match, if the batting team loses two wickets in the powerplay, their odds of winning lengthen — because reaching the target becomes harder. The reverse happens when a run of sixes pushes the run rate up.
Live betting moves fast — markets may close briefly, especially while a ball is being bowled. Making timely decisions matters. Keep in mind that betting is a form of entertainment — keep every bet within your planned limits.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping a few general habits in mind makes the experience more enjoyable.
- Understand the market before you bet. Match winner is a simple market, but top batsman or highest run scorer involves more variables. Beginners can start with simpler markets.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will bet and stick to that limit. Placing large bets immediately after a loss to recover is not a good habit.
- Use multiple markets together. Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk — every selection must be correct. Starting with fewer selections in a multi bet is comparatively safer.
- Stay patient in live betting. Odds change fast in-play. Pay close attention to the powerplay and death overs in particular — avoid making hasty decisions.
- Consider the series result market in Test matches. Over five days a draw is a genuine possibility, so look at the odds for all three outcomes separately and stay aware of pitch conditions.
- Review your betting history. Regularly check which types of bets you enjoy most and which fall within your understanding. This helps keep the entertainment value intact.
