Cricket Betting at crickex — BPL, IPL and International Match Betting
From T20 to Test cricket, toss to top batsman — crickex's cricket betting section covers all formats and markets in one place. Bet with live in-play odds, easy payments, and support in Bengali.
Cricket's three formats and which tournaments to bet on
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it's passion. crickex lets you bring that passion into betting. Each format has its own character, so the approach to betting should differ accordingly.
T20: The fastest and most unpredictable format. In BPL, IPL, or the T20 World Cup, the game can turn at any moment. Short-term markets like match winner, toss, and last-over runs are the most popular here.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, a team's plan unfolds gradually. There is more opportunity to focus on markets like top batsman, wickets, or total runs.
Test: In five-day cricket, team patience and pitch behaviour determine everything. Long-term markets — such as whether the match will be drawn or who will score more runs in the first innings — are more commonly available here.
Players in Bangladesh tend to show the most interest in BPL and international T20 matches. IPL, which runs throughout the year, also creates a major betting season on crickex.
Cricket's 7 popular markets and how to bet on them
The cricket betting section on crickex offers many types of markets. Here is a brief overview of seven familiar ones:
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win the match. The simplest and most popular market in T20 — you just choose whether Team A or Team B wins.
Toss Market
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is completely random, making it a simple and quick betting option.
Top Batsman
Predict which batter in a team will score the most runs. Knowing the team's batting order and the pitch conditions helps when making a call in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Decide whether the total runs in an innings will be over or under a set number. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role here.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential return increases — but all selections must win.
First Wicket Ball
An over/under bet on which ball the first wicket will fall in an innings. This market is quite engaging during the opening overs in live betting.
Multi Bet Example
Say three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.80. The combined odds would be 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (rounded). A ৳100 bet would return ৳378 — but all three selections must win; if any one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
Decimal, Fractional and American — how to read three types of odds
Odds on crickex are shown in three formats. They may seem a bit confusing at first, but an example makes them easy to understand.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Return on a ৳1,000 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳3,000 (৳2 profit for every ৳1 wagered) |
| American | +200 | ৳3,000 (+odds means how much profit on ৳100) |
In the example above, if Team A wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳3,000 — of which ৳2,000 is profit. If they lose, the ৳1,000 is gone. All three formats express the same outcome, just written differently.
The favourite's odds are lower. For example, if Team B's decimal odds are 1.50, the fractional equivalent is 1/2 and the American is -200. A ৳1,000 bet would return ৳1,500 (profit of ৳500). The "-" sign in American odds shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how live in-play betting works
Alongside pre-match betting, crickex also offers live betting during a match. Live odds update after every ball — they shift quickly when a wicket falls, a big shot is hit, or the powerplay ends.
Say two wickets fall in the very first over. The run rate may drop and the batting team's odds of winning increase (the price goes up) because they are in an uncertain position. The bowling team's odds will shorten at that point.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting:
- Odds change very quickly — if you take too long to decide, you may not get the odds you wanted.
- News like pitch conditions, weather, and bowling or batting order changes affects live betting.
- Multi bets are possible in-play, but all selections still need to win.
- A stable internet and data connection makes live betting smoother.
Live betting is available directly from your phone on the crickex mobile app, which is handy when watching a match at the ground or anywhere else.
How football and other sports betting differs
Alongside cricket, crickex also offers betting on football. Where cricket has runs, wickets, and over-based markets, football has markets like number of goals, half-time result, and corner kicks.
The main difference is match duration and event frequency. In cricket, every ball is an event, so live markets shift much faster. In football, goals are less frequent, so odds move more slowly and there is more opportunity for strategic market analysis.
Cricket-specific markets like total wickets or partnership runs do not exist in football, while football's handicap markets are less common in cricket. The two sports have different betting structures, so experience in one does not always translate directly to the other.
Useful habits for cricket betting on crickex
Set your budget beforehand
Decide how much money you will put into betting before each session. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a source of income.
Focus on one market
Start by building familiarity with a single market, such as match winner or total runs. Spreading bets across many markets at once adds unnecessary complexity early on.
Be careful with multi bets
While the return on a multi bet looks attractive, the risk is higher too — every selection must win. Keeping it to two or three selections makes the market easier to follow.
No rushing in live betting
Live odds move fast, but that is not a reason to bet in a hurry. Only make decisions on markets you understand. To know the rules and conditions, read the terms and conditions.
