66 game Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches Across Top Markets
Cricket is more than just a sport for people in this country — it is passion. The sports section at 66 game covers all three formats — T20, ODI and Test. From before the match starts to live in-play, every ball brings a new opportunity.
Cricket's three formats and popular competitions
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the formats, as each has a different type of betting market.
T20 — the fastest format. In a twenty-over game, every ball matters. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, and T20 is the most talked-about format among bettors. The T20 World Cup has raised the profile of this format on the international stage.
ODI — fifty overs of cricket blending strategy and patience. Total runs markets are popular here, based on how many runs a team can post in an innings. Bangladesh Tigers have performed strongly in ODI cricket, which naturally drives local interest in this format.
Test — in the five-day long game, a draw is a valid result. The betting market therefore has three options — team A wins, team B wins, or draw. In Test cricket, pitch conditions and weather can shift odds quickly, which adds another layer to live betting.
BPL
Bangladesh's home tournament. With franchise teams competing against each other, there is a noticeable difference in odds across matches.
IPL
The Indian Premier League is the world's biggest T20 franchise league. With world-class players involved, every match has deep and varied markets.
T20 World Cup
The ICC's international T20 tournament. This competition brings together the best teams in the world, and the betting markets are highly competitive.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
The biggest difference in football betting is the possibility of a draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there is no draw — one team will win, so the market splits two ways. Test cricket does have a draw, creating a three-result market similar to football. Football has its own markets such as goalscorer, number of corners and handicap, which do not have direct equivalents in cricket.
Cricket has its own specific markets such as 'toss winner', 'first wicket to fall at what score', and 'total runs in the powerplay'. Football, on the other hand, has popular questions like 'which team scores first' and 'will both teams score'.
Sports like hockey, badminton and kabaddi have relatively fewer markets and less competitive odds. Cricket and football — especially in major tournaments — offer the most markets and the most frequent odds updates.
At 66 game's casino section, live games and sports betting are in completely separate sections, with cricket at the top.
Popular betting markets and examples
Here is a simple example of how each market works.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options: team A or team B.
SimplestToss Winner
Who wins the toss is a straight 50/50. In this cricket-specific market, the odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Cricket-specificTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. This market becomes interesting when a specific player is in good form.
Performance betTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored by a team or across the whole match will be above or below a set number — for example, 'over 160' or 'under 160'.
Run-basedMulti Bet (Parlay)
Combining multiple selections into one bet. For example, results from three different matches in a single bet — if all selections are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection and the whole bet loses.
High returnHandicap Betting
To reduce the gap between two sides, the weaker team is given a run head start. The result is determined after adding the handicap — the stronger team must win by a larger margin.
Gap coverageMulti Bet Example
Three matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90 respectively — combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳426 if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. A multi bet is one way to make betting more entertaining — it is not a method of guaranteed income.
How to read odds — three formats
Betting sites display the same odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same information, just presented differently.
| Format | Odds for team A to win | Odds for team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | −125 |
Example 1 — Team A (underdog)
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. Stake ৳200; if team A wins, return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite)
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). Stake ৳200; if team B wins, return is ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Cricket match winner example
In a limited-overs match (T20/ODI) there is no draw, so there are only two options.
Say — Team A: decimal 1.45 / Team B: decimal 2.75.
A ৳1,000 stake on team B returns ৳2,750 if team B wins (৳1,750 profit); if team A wins, ৳1,000 is lost.
These numbers are for illustration only. Live odds change with every ball and no bet guarantees a result. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly interesting because odds can change significantly the moment a wicket falls or the powerplay ends.
Say a team has scored 70 runs in 10 overs and lost 3 wickets in a T20 match — their odds of winning could shift considerably compared to the start of the match, depending on whether they were the favourite or not.
In ODI cricket, as the pitch slows down, the first-innings target market also adjusts. In Test cricket, weather changes, spin-friendly pitches or swing conditions are directly reflected in live odds.
There is no need to rush in live betting — wait for the odds to settle and place your bet with a clear plan in mind.
Useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment. Keeping these points in mind will make the experience more considered.
Set a budget first
Decide on a fixed amount before each match. Stick to that limit whether you win or lose. Betting is entertainment, not a way to earn extra income.
Understand the format before choosing a market
Total runs markets in T20 move fast. In the match winner market for Test cricket, a draw is a real option — factor that in.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can look attractive because of the higher potential return, but one wrong selection means everything is lost. Start with one or two selections first.
Be patient in live betting
In-play odds move very quickly. Rather than getting caught up in the moment, wait for the situation to settle before making a decision.
Read the responsible gaming policy
Read the responsible gaming guidelines on betting limits, taking breaks and temporarily closing your account.
Compare odds
Odds for the same market can vary at different times. Compare pre-match and live odds before deciding when to place your bet.
