crickex Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Bet on match winner, top batsman, total runs and all markets for every BPL, IPL and international cricket match. Live in-play odds make the experience even better.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — which one should you bet on?
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, betting usually means T20 — short innings, fast pace and dramatic swings on every ball. crickex offers the most markets on T20 matches, since odds can shift every over in this format.
In ODI or one-day matches, the 50-over journey calls for a slightly different approach. Total runs, first-innings score or runs in a specific powerplay are the more popular markets here. Test cricket is a five-day match — a draw is a possible result, so there are three market options: team A wins, team B wins, or draw.
On the competition side, BPL is Bangladesh's best-known T20 league. During the IPL season, fans in Bangladesh follow it just as keenly as viewers around the world. Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments generate a different level of interest.

Football and Other Sports
crickex is not limited to cricket. Football betting works a bit differently — a draw is a normal result, so the 1X2 market has three possibilities. Cricket usually has two outcomes (T20/ODI), and three in Test. Football uses goal markets; cricket uses run markets — the scoring language of each sport is different. The same principle applies to other sports — it helps to understand the market structure of each one.
crickex's Popular Betting Markets — how each one works
Each market works a little differently. Here is a straightforward description of seven markets.
You bet on which team will win the match outright. In a T20 match it's team A or team B — just two options. A simple, straightforward market.
Outright BetYou bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely down to chance — the probability is roughly equal for both teams.
Luck-Based BetThis market covers which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. With multiple options, the odds are generally higher.
Player BetYou bet on whether the total runs in a set number of overs or a full innings will be above or below a given number. Example: will more than 80 runs be scored in the first 10 overs?
Totals BetSelections from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Combo BetThis market is about which over the first wicket will fall in. Wickets during the powerplay are common, so odds are lower for powerplay overs.
In-Match BetThe weaker team is given a run advantage to level the playing field. If team A has a -20 run handicap, you need them to win by that margin for the bet to pay out.
HandicapHow to read odds — three formats explained simply
Odds are a numerical expression of the probability of a result. The same odds can be written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. crickex generally displays odds in decimal format, which is also the easiest to understand.
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150 — all three mean the same value. If team A wins, a ৳200 stake returns ৳500 (profit ৳300 + original ৳200). If team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. The American minus sign shows how much you need to stake to make a ৳100 profit. A ৳200 stake returns ৳250 (profit just ৳50).
The higher the decimal number, the less likely the outcome but the greater the profit. A favourite's odds are usually below 2.
Three selections — decimal 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — combined give odds of 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳408 — but all three selections must be correct. One wrong selection and the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk.
Live In-Play Betting — odds shift with every wicket and every over
In the in-play betting section at crickex, odds update after every ball while the match is live. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately — because the probability of the result has changed. If the batting team scores quickly during the powerplay, their odds of winning come down.
Over-based markets are also popular in-play — such as how many runs will be scored in the next over, or which delivery will bring the next wicket. These markets change fast, so there is less time to decide.
In-play betting is for entertainment — rather than rushing into a bet, it's better to read the flow of the match before deciding. Betting should always be seen as a form of entertainment.
Live sports betting on crickex is available through crickex Bet. For those who want to try other types of games alongside cricket, crickex Casino has live casino tables and various other options.
Useful tips for getting started with cricket betting
- Choose your format. Odds change quickly in T20 matches and more slowly in ODIs. It makes sense to bet on the format you watch most.
- Start with one market. The match winner market is the simplest — two or three possible results. Understanding that first makes the other markets easier.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will put on each match and stick to that limit. Betting is for entertainment.
- Be careful with multi bets. Higher combined odds mean higher risk. Think it through before adding multiple selections.
- Don't rush in-play. Odds move fast in live betting. Take time to read the match situation before making a quick decision.
- Play responsibly. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. For more information, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
