Cricket Betting at crickex — a complete guide to placing bets on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test — this page explains in detail how crickex sports betting works, covering match winner, toss, top batsman, and live in-play markets.
Three formats of cricket and popular tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format shapes the betting experience differently. T20 matches are short, so every over and ball matters and odds shift very quickly. ODIs are played over 50 overs, meaning the middle overs have a significant effect on run rates and markets. Test matches run over five days — pitch conditions, weather and the pace of each innings all influence the betting market together.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is the most familiar domestic tournament. Each year it brings together local and international stars, which drives strong interest from both viewers and bettors. IPL is the biggest T20 league in Indian cricket — it attracts the world's top players, making it one of the most in-demand tournaments in international betting markets.
The T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy are the highlights of the international calendar. Participation from local bettors rises noticeably during every Bangladesh Tigers match. crickex keeps markets for all these tournaments in one place, so users can easily pick a match and place a bet.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
Alongside cricket, crickex also offers football markets. Football matches wrap up within 90 minutes and a draw is a possible result, so the market structure is different from cricket. In limited-overs cricket there are no draws — one team always wins. Because of this, match winner odds in cricket are split between two options, while in football they cover three.
In football, markets based on goal counts and match time are popular. In cricket, target scores, wicket counts and over-by-over markets work at a different level of depth. Other sports — such as tennis, basketball or kabaddi — each have their own scoring structure, and markets are built around that.
For those who are not focused solely on cricket and want to enjoy casino games on the same platform, crickex casino has full details on live casino and slots. Sports and casino can both be used under the same account, so there is no need to log in separately.
Football Betting
Markets covering three possible outcomes (Team A win, draw, Team B win) — a different structure from cricket's two-team market.
Cricket Betting
No draws in limited overs — match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under runs and dozens of other markets available together.
5 popular betting markets in cricket
Here is how each market works, explained with simple examples. These are illustrative examples for informational purposes — they are not a guarantee of any specific outcome.
Match Winner
A bet on which of two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — Team A's odds are 1.65, Team B's are 2.30. Betting on Team B pays out if Team B wins; if they do not, the stake is lost.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match begins. This is entirely chance-based — the odds for both teams are roughly equal. Popular for quick decisions.
Top Batsman
A market on who will score the most runs in a single innings or across the full match. The current form of each team's leading batters is key to reading this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored by the end of a set number of overs, or over a full innings, will be above (over) or below (under) a given number. Example: will more than 70 runs be scored in the first 10 overs?
Multi Bet
Adding multiple selections together into a single bet. Example: three outcomes from three separate matches — all three must be correct to receive the full return; if one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Bowler
A market on who will take the most wickets in the match. How well pace and spin bowlers suit the pitch conditions plays an important role in this market.
How to read and understand odds
Betting odds are displayed in three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three are simply different ways of expressing the same probability. crickex typically shows odds in decimal format, which is the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors.
Example 1 (all three formats together): ৳500 is placed on Team A to win. Decimal odds of 2.50 equal fractional odds of 3/2 or American odds of +150. If Team A wins, the total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite's odds): Team B's odds to win are 1.80, which is 4/5 in fractional and -125 in American (a minus sign means you need to stake that amount to win ৳100). On a ৳500 bet, if Team B wins, the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Lower odds mean the betting platform considers that outcome more likely. Higher odds mean lower probability — but the profit is greater if it wins. Odds are always subject to change.
| Format | Team A (Example 1) | Team B (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
| Return on ৳500 bet | ৳1,250 | ৳900 |
The figures above are illustrative examples for informational purposes — actual odds vary depending on the match and circumstances.
Live In-Play Betting — how odds shift with wickets and overs
In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. Odds can update after every ball.
Cricket live betting is the most dynamic of all. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately — because their chances of winning have dropped. Conversely, the bowling team's odds come down. A big scoring powerplay swings conditions back in the batting team's favour and their odds fall again.
In the death overs (the last 5–6 overs), when a team is chasing a small total, odds can shift dramatically with every ball. In T20, even a single six can turn the entire market around. This rapid movement is what sets live betting apart from all other forms of betting.
In-play betting in ODI or Test cricket moves at a comparatively slower pace. Odds are formed by combining the run rate and the number of wickets through the middle overs. If rain or bad light interrupts play, the market may be temporarily suspended.
To understand the rules and conditions around betting, read the Terms and Conditions page — it covers everything related to in-play bets, payments and accounts.
Multi Bet and Cricket Match Winner — calculation examples
Cricket Match Winner (Decimal Odds)
There are no draws in limited-overs matches. Team A's odds are 1.65, Team B's are 2.30. Placing ৳1,000 on Team B returns ৳2,300 if Team B wins (৳1,300 profit). If Team A wins, the ৳1,000 is lost. It is worth thinking about each team's form and the pitch conditions beforehand.
Multi Bet — 3 Selections
Multiplying the odds of three separate matches — 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 — gives a combined odds of roughly 4.90. A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all three win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. A multi bet offers higher potential returns, but the risk is also higher.
All calculations above are provided as illustrative examples. Betting is purely for entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Understand the market before you bet
Be clear on how each market works and what conditions you need to win before placing a bet. It is better not to bet when the rules are unclear.
Set a budget
Decide how much you will wager in each session before you start, and stay within that limit. Betting is entertainment — not a source of income.
Focus on one match
Spreading bets across too many matches at once splits your attention. Focusing on one or two matches makes it easier to understand the market properly.
Watch how live odds move
Odds change quickly in-play. Checking the market after the first over gives you a clearer sense of how the match is actually going.
Show restraint with multi bets
Adding too many selections to a multi bet in hopes of a bigger return increases your risk. Fewer selections keep the combined odds at a more manageable level.
Keep responsible betting in mind
Betting is purely for entertainment. If it starts to feel like a problem, read the responsible gaming guide and take a break if needed.
