crickx Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
crickx brings a straightforward betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Popular markets, live odds and a clean interface for BPL, IPL and international cricket — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Tournaments That Draw the Most Interest
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is part of daily conversation for many people. Cricket betting on crickx is split across three formats: T20, ODI and Test matches. Each format shapes team strengths, pitch conditions and the pace of play differently, so the betting markets behave differently too.
T20: In this 20-over format, run totals shift quickly. A single over can turn a match around, which is why live betting is most popular here. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, and these two tournaments get the most attention among bettors.
ODI: In a 50-over match, strategy plays a bigger role. Middle-order performance, powerplay scores and pitch type have more influence here. ODI betting is active not only in major tournaments like the T20 World Cup but also across various bilateral series.
Test matches: This five-day format is a test of patience. How the pitch is changing, which team has the stronger bowling attack — these are the main factors in betting here. When Bangladesh Tigers play in Tests, interest in these markets rises considerably.
Betting on cricket is somewhat different from football. In football a draw is a possible result, so markets use a "1X2" system. In T20 or ODI there is no draw — one team must win. As a result, match-winner markets in cricket generally split the odds two ways and are simpler to calculate. Other sports like kabaddi and football are also available for betting on crickx, but cricket has the widest range of markets.
Popular Betting Markets and Common Examples
On crickx you can bet across multiple markets in a cricket match. Below is a brief introduction to seven familiar markets — each with a simple example to make the concept clear.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI you simply choose between two teams. For example: Team A vs Team B — you pick Team B, and if Team B wins, the bet is settled as a win.
Toss Winner
Betting on the toss result before the match starts. There are exactly two equally likely outcomes, so the odds are usually close. Many people like this market because they factor in pitch conditions or a team's preference after winning the toss.
Top Run Scorer
Which batter in a team will score the most runs in that match. You generally pick from among a team's batters. Example: you bet on Team A's leading batter to be the top scorer.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific number (the line). You bet on whether the total runs will be above that line (over) or below it (under). Example: line set at 160 runs — if the final score is 175, the over bet wins.
Multi Bet
Combining the results of multiple matches on a single slip. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together for the return. A detailed guide to multi-bet is available on crickx.
Type of First Wicket
How the first wicket of an innings will fall — bowled, caught, run out or another method. This is one of the more discussed specials in cricket because pitch conditions and the bowling attack influence the prediction.
There are also markets for top wicket-taker, score after a specific over, and various prop markets around powerplay runs. Go directly to the betting section on crickx to see all available markets.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Understanding odds is essential before you start betting. crickx shows three common odds formats: decimal, fractional and American. The examples below make it easy to follow.
Say you are betting on whether Team A will win and the odds are 3.00 in decimal. The same odds in fractional are 2/1, and in American format +200. All three say the same thing: a ৳200 stake returns ৳600 if you win (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). If you lose, the full ৳200 is gone.
Now suppose Team B is the favourite with odds of 1.25 in decimal — 1/4 in fractional and -400 in American (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100). A ৳200 stake here returns ৳250 (৳50 profit). The favourite has lower odds, so the probability of winning is higher but the return is smaller.
In short: decimal odds × stake = total return (including your original stake). Fractional odds show profit only. American odds indicate market preference and the relationship between risk and reward.
| Format | Team A (3.00) | Team B (1.25) | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | Stake × odds = return (stake included) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | Numerator/denominator — numerator is profit, denominator is stake |
| American | +200 | -400 | + means profit on 100; − means how much to stake to win 100 |
Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls — Live Betting
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. After every wicket and every over, odds are recalculated. If a batter is playing well and Team A is in a strong position, the odds for Team B to win will lengthen — because their chances of winning have dropped.
In T20 these shifts happen very fast. A big over or two wickets in a row can completely change the picture. In ODI or Test, changes are comparatively slower, so there is more time to analyse.
On crickx you can follow the match situation from the live betting interface and place bets at the same time. Markets update in real time, so keep an eye on the screen.
Differences in Betting Between Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, crickx also offers betting on football and other sports. However, the betting structure for football is quite different from cricket.
The main difference is the draw. In football a draw is a valid result, so markets have three options: Team A wins, Team B wins and draw. This changes how the odds are distributed. In T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw — only two options. Test matches can end in a draw, so they have a three-option market similar to football.
In football, handicap betting and prop markets based on corners or the number of goals are well known. The cricket equivalents are markets like over/under run lines and number of wickets.
Other sports have similar markets too, but for users in Bangladesh, cricket markets offer the most variety and familiarity. Starting with cricket is the natural choice.
Quick Comparison
A Few Things to Know Before You Start Betting
Understand one market well first
Rather than betting across all markets at once, start by getting a good handle on one market — like match winner. Once you have the basics down, moving to other markets becomes easier.
Set your budget beforehand
Decide how much you are willing to spend for each session before you start. Betting is a form of entertainment — avoid placing large bets to chase losses. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will make these points clearer.
Keep track of pitch and weather conditions
In cricket, pitch and weather directly affect the result. A batting pitch tends to produce more runs; a bowling pitch fewer. Having this information to hand is useful before placing live bets.
Take a quick look at the rules
Going through the betting terms once reduces confusion later. In particular, it is worth knowing what happens to a bet if a match is cancelled, or what the rules are for a market when the result is determined by the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Do the sums before placing a multi-bet
Adding more selections increases the potential return, but if one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Three selections at odds of 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 — meaning a ৳100 stake returns ৳547, but only if all three are correct.
