crikex Cricket Betting — All Formats from T20 to Test
From BPL to the ICC T20 World Cup — follow Bangladesh's favourite sport more closely. At crikex you get live odds, a range of markets and fast payments on every cricket moment.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Major Competitions
When it comes to cricket betting, the format matters first — T20, ODI and Test each have a different pace of play and different possibilities for results.
T20: The fastest format. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL fans know this format best. Bangladesh Tigers' T20 World Cup matches also get special attention here. Results come in just 20 overs, so live betting markets move quickly.
ODI: The 50-over format involves more strategy. Major tournaments like the ICC World Cup and Asia Cup use the ODI format for their key matches. A team's batting depth and bowling variety play an important role here.
Test Cricket: In this five-day format there are three possible results including a draw, which sets the odds structure apart from T20 and ODI. Pitch conditions, weather and a team's innings averages are particularly relevant when betting on Tests.
How Betting Differs in Football and Other Sports
Beyond cricket, crikex offers betting on football and other sports. The markets and approach vary depending on the sport.
In football, the match-winner market has three possible results — home win, away win or draw. In T20 and ODI cricket a draw is generally not possible, so odds are split between two outcomes. In Test cricket a draw is possible, making the structure closer to football.
Those who want to try something different alongside cricket can check out crikex Virtual Sports — where you can bet on simulated matches at any time, without depending on a real match schedule.
Cricket betting has always been the most popular in Bangladesh, because the connection people have with the sport runs deep — from grounds in Dhaka to international tournaments.
Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
A cricket match offers several types of markets to bet on. Each has its own rules and calculations.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two options; in Test cricket a draw is also a possibility. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and they win, you receive the full return.
Simple MarketToss Winner
Bet on the result of the toss before the match starts. Since the toss is entirely down to chance, odds are usually roughly equal for both teams. A simple but popular market.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs for a given team. When a team has more batsmen in the lineup, odds are higher because the probability is spread across more players. Example: pick who will score the most runs for a team.
Performance MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Pitch type and team strength are important considerations here.
Totals MarketMulti Bet
Combine three or more selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply and the return is much higher, but if even one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Example: picking the results of three matches together.
Multiple BetTop Wicket Taker
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch conditions and a bowler's record against the batting lineup are especially relevant in this market.
Bowling MarketDecimal, Fractional and American Odds
Online betting odds can be shown in three different formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
- Decimal: 2.25 — shows the total return on the bet. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake).
- Fractional: 5/4 — ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 profit.
- American: +125 — the plus sign means a ৳100 bet returns ৳125 profit.
- If the bet loses, ৳500 is lost.
- Decimal: 1.80 — total return ৳900 (৳400 profit + ৳500 original stake).
- Fractional: 4/5 — ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked.
- American: -125 — the minus sign means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100 profit.
Decimal odds are the easiest to calculate, which is why players in Bangladesh generally prefer them. On crikex you can view odds in your preferred format.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections — decimal 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳403, but only if all three selections are correct. If one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Team A and Team B — for illustration only, not a guarantee of actual odds or results.
Wickets Fall, Overs Progress, Odds Change
Live in-play betting lets you follow cricket more closely. During a match the situation changes after every ball, and the odds change with it.
For example, imagine Team A has scored 55 runs for 3 wickets in 8 overs of a T20. At that point Team A's odds of winning will naturally drop, because the run rate is low and wickets are running out. Conversely, if two big sixes land in the next three overs and no wicket falls, the odds will shift quickly.
Live betting requires quick decisions. The run rate in the powerplay, wicket pressure in the middle overs and the bowling attack in the death overs — the odds behave differently across these three phases.

Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following in mind will help you have a more organised experience.
- Start with one format: T20, ODI or Test — each plays differently. Focusing on one format at the start makes it easier to understand the markets.
- Set a budget: Before each betting session, decide how much you are comfortable spending and do not go beyond that.
- Be careful with multi bets: The more selections you add, the higher the combined odds — but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, so take a moment to think before placing each live bet.
- Play responsibly: Betting is for entertainment, not a way to recover losses. Read the Responsible Gaming page for more information.
- Know the rules: Understanding the terms of betting is important. All rules are clearly set out on the crikex Terms and Conditions page.
