Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Competitions

To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the formats. Each format has its own character — and the betting strategy differs accordingly.

T20

The fastest-paced format. BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — these tournaments are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. With big hits and frequent wickets, betting markets can shift with almost every ball.

BPL IPL T20 WC

ODI

A lot can change in the middle of this fifty-over format. It is important to understand how markets shift in the second innings based on the first innings score. The ICC Cricket World Cup and Asia Cup are played in this format.

World Cup Asia Cup

Test Cricket

Five days of play means much more extensive betting markets. Pitch conditions, weather and team lineups all play a major role in Test betting. It is a game of patience — and so is the betting.

Which competitions get the most attention in Bangladesh?

BPL draws the attention of cricket fans across the country every season. Interest in IPL and T20 World Cup is no less. When Bangladesh Tigers are playing in international matches, participation in the markets naturally increases.

On ex crickex you will find multiple markets for matches across all these competitions — both before and during the match.

Football and Other Sports Betting

Alongside cricket, ex crickex also offers betting on football. Interest in European club football among younger Bangladeshis continues to grow.

The key difference between cricket and football betting comes down to the draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw — one team must win. In football, three outcomes are possible: home win, away win and draw. This means odds for each outcome in football are calculated differently compared to cricket.

Sports like kabaddi and tennis are also available in the sports section. Each sport has its own markets and betting structure.

Popular Betting Markets — 7 Examples

Several types of markets open before a match even starts. Below are the most commonly used markets:

Match Winner

A straight bet on which of the two teams will win. This is the simplest market in T20 format. If you think Team A will win, place your bet there — if the result is correct, you get a return according to the odds.

Toss Winner

A bet on who wins the toss before the match starts — this is an independent market with no direct connection to the match result. Because it is a 50-50 chance, odds here are generally close.

Top Batsman

In this market you pick which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in a specific innings. Batting order and current form are important factors to consider.

Total Runs Over / Under

A bet on whether total runs scored in the full match or a single innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. The run count matters more here than which team wins.

Multi Bet

Combining bets from multiple matches into one — the odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential return is much higher. But if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.

Top Bowler

A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets — similar to the Top Batsman market but for bowlers. If the pitch favours bowlers, this market becomes more interesting.

Handicap

The stronger team is given a run deficit to start with — this makes the market more balanced between two unevenly matched teams. It is better to understand handicap betting before entering this market.

How to Read Odds — Three Formats

ex crickex generally displays decimal odds, but all three formats are used internationally. The table below shows the same bet in all three formats:

Format Odds for Team A to win Odds for Team B to win How to read
Decimal 2.25 1.50 Total return = stake × odds
Fractional 5/4 1/2 Profit/stake — stake returned separately
American +125 -200 + means profit on 100; - means how much to stake to profit 100
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳200)

Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If you win, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If you lose, ৳200 is gone.

Example 2 — Favourite Team B (৳200)

Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200.
A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 bet, if you win, total return is ৳300 (৳100 profit).

Team A and Team B here are for illustration only — these are not the odds of any specific team. Betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed income.

Live In-Play Betting — Markets Shift Over by Over

LIVE In-play betting means placing bets while a match is ongoing. After every wicket, after every big six, the odds in the market are reset.

For example, if the first team has scored 60 runs in 10 overs having lost 3 wickets, their odds of winning may increase slightly. Then if two boundaries come in the next over, the odds will drop again. This is how the market keeps moving throughout the match.

In-play markets are especially active in T20 matches because the entire match can turn around in just a few balls. In ODI and Test, the pace of market changes is relatively slower.

Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines — especially since in-play betting can lead to quick decisions.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting

01

Set a budget

Decide on a limit for each session in advance and stick to it. Betting is a form of entertainment — it is better not to go beyond your budget trying to recover losses.

02

Focus on one market

Start with simpler markets like Match Winner. Try handicap or in-play only after you have understood them.

03

Think by format

In T20 matches, results can change in just a few balls. In Test, pitch and weather play a big role. Keep the specific characteristics of each format in mind when placing bets.

04

Be careful with multi bets

Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. The more selections you add, the greater the chance that one of them loses. Start with limited stakes.

05

Check your betting history

Keep track of your past bets — knowing which markets you have done well in helps you make better decisions going forward. The account history on ex crickex helps with this.

Frequently Asked Questions

For beginners, T20 is generally easier because matches are short, results come quickly, and straightforward markets like Match Winner are available. ODI and Test offer more extensive markets but take more time to understand. For any format, it is better to start with small bets to get familiar first.

Yes, you can place bets on live in-play markets while a match is in progress. Odds update after each wicket and after each over. However, in-play markets are not always open — they may close briefly at certain moments.

Yes, all selections in a multi bet must be correct. For example — if you bet on three matches at decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90, the combined odds come to about 4.52. On a ৳100 bet, winning all three returns ৳452, but losing any one of them means the full ৳100 is lost.

In limited-overs cricket there is no draw — one team must win. So markets are built around two outcomes. In football, three outcomes are possible — home win, away win and draw — so odds are calculated differently. Cricket also has more popular player-based markets like Top Batsman and Top Bowler.

Most Bangladeshi bettors find decimal odds easier — you simply multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. For example, ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450. Fractional (5/4) or American (+125) may look more complex but express the same value. ex crickex generally displays odds in decimal format.
