Cricket Betting at crickexnow — T20 to Test Top Markets
Bet on match winner, toss, top batsman and more across every BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket match. In in-play betting, odds shift with every wicket — each moment brings a new opportunity.
The Three Cricket Formats and Popular Competitions
Cricket betting covers three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own character, so the style of betting differs accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format. In a 20-over match the scoreboard moves quickly and a single over can swing the game. T20 is the most popular format among Bangladesh fans and bettors. BPL is played in this format, and IPL's excitement is also built around T20. The T20 World Cup is the most talked-about event on the international stage.
ODI (One Day International) is a 50-over game. Strategy carries a little more weight here — batters build innings and bowlers apply pressure in the middle overs. The Bangladesh national team (the Tigers) is known for consistent performances in ODI cricket.
Test cricket is a five-day match. Because a draw is possible, you can bet on three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw. This format gives more time to study the market carefully.
At crickexnow you can bet on football and other sports, not just cricket. There are a few key differences between cricket betting and football betting. In football, fewer goals are scored in a 90-minute match so the total goals market is especially popular, while cricket offers much more variety with runs and wickets markets. Cricket in-play odds update every over; in football that tends to happen after goals. It's worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines to build good betting habits.
6 Popular Markets and How to Bet on Them
The markets below are the most-used at crickexnow. All examples are fictional — no real matches, teams or players are referenced.
Match Winner
T20 · ODI · TestBet on which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI matches have no draw, so there are just two outcomes. In Tests you can bet on three outcomes. Example: in a Team A vs Team B match, place a ৳1,000 bet on Team B — if Team B wins, you receive a return based on the odds.
Toss
T20 · ODI · TestYou can bet on which team wins the toss before the match begins. This is a completely independent event with no direct link to the match result. Example: Team A wins the toss — yes or no.
Top Batsman
T20 · ODIBet on which player will score the most runs — either across both teams or within one team. Multiple players are available to choose from, giving you room to make an informed decision.
Total Runs — Over/Under
T20 · ODIBet on whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: the line for Team A's first innings is 160 runs — if you think they'll score more than 160, take the over.
Multi Bet
Multiple MatchesMultiple selections are combined into a single bet. You must get all selections right to receive the full return. For example, betting on three matches at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80 gives combined odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = approximately 4.90, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳490 if all win — but losing one selection means losing the entire ৳100.
Handicap
ODI · TestA run or wicket advantage is given to the weaker team to level out the difference in strength between the two sides. Example: if Team A is given a -1.5 run handicap, the bet is settled based on whether Team A wins by a genuine margin — understanding this requires reading the match result carefully; no specific runs or return figures are stated here.
Three Odds Formats — How to Read Each One
At crickexnow odds are shown in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. The examples below show the same price in all three formats. All figures are fictional examples — these are not live odds.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins (favourite) | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply by your stake to get the total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | First number is profit, second number is the stake |
| American | +125 | -125 | + means profit on a 100 stake; - means how much you need to stake to win 100 |
Example 1 — Betting on the underdog
Team A wins, stake ৳500. Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, total return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on the favourite
Team B wins. Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. In American format, a minus sign means the amount you need to stake to win 100. A ৳500 stake returns ৳900 if it wins (৳400 profit).
Odds Shift with Every Wicket — In-Play Betting
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly dynamic — every over and every wicket directly affects the odds.
Say Team A has scored 80 runs in 10 overs and lost only 1 wicket in a T20 match. At that point Team A's odds will shorten (they're now the favourite) and Team B's odds will lengthen. If Team A then loses two wickets in the next over, the picture can flip again.
Runs still needed, balls remaining and wickets in hand are the three factors that influence in-play markets most. Decisions in live betting have to be made quickly, because the window closes before the odds change.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Focus on one market: Start by getting comfortable with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Jumping into complex markets all at once tends to cause confusion.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you'll bet in each session. Increasing your stakes to chase losses is not a good idea.
- Understand the format before betting: A market that works well in T20 behaves differently in Test cricket. Each format has its own rhythm.
- Be careful with multi bets: Higher combined odds also mean higher risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
- Betting is for entertainment: Enjoy cricket betting — it's not a source of income. Wins and losses are a normal part of it. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
- Know the rules: Reading the terms and conditions before you start betting saves confusion later on.

Football and More Sports Beyond Cricket
Alongside cricket, football is quite popular in Bangladesh — especially during European leagues and international tournaments. The most-used football betting markets are match winner (1X2), total goals over/under, both teams to score and corners.
The main difference between cricket and football betting lies in the pace of the game. In cricket, odds update every over and live markets stay active based on wickets and run rate. In football, the score changes less often but the impact of a single goal is huge.
