Cricket Formats and Tournaments — what betting looks like in each
T20, ODI, and Test — each format has its own character. Before betting, it is important to understand how each one works.
T20 — fast and action-packed
In just twenty overs, a match can swing in any direction. T20 betting is most popular in tournaments like BPL and IPL. In this short format, betting markets change quickly.
ODI — fifty overs of strategic play
In one-day matches there is more room to balance batting, bowling, and fielding. ODI betting in ICC tournaments and bilateral series offers a wide range of markets.
Test — five days of patience
Test cricket offers the most scope for analysing pitch, weather, and team composition. A draw is a real result, so the depth of the markets is different.
BPL — local celebration
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) holds a special place for local fans. Held in winter, this tournament features competitive matches with a mix of local and overseas players.
International Cricket and the Tigers
Bangladesh fans follow the national team, the Tigers, most closely. Markets around the Tigers' performances in ICC events become especially active.
Football and Other Sports
At okbd you can bet on football alongside cricket. Football match results come in three forms (win, draw, loss), which gives the odds structure a different shape compared to cricket. Learn more about basketball betting on the okbd basketball page.
Popular Betting Markets — how to bet in each
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, place your bet on Team B. If Team B wins at the end, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
This market is about who will win the toss before the match starts. It is settled quickly and is especially popular in T20. Example: betting on Team A to win the toss.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for a specific team. Example: betting on who will be the highest run-scorer for Team A.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A market on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: whether total runs in the first innings will exceed 150.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combining bets on multiple matches or markets on the same slip at combined odds. All selections must be correct to win — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Wicket Markets
Markets on how many wickets will fall in a specific over or innings, or which bowler will take the most wickets — these are unique to cricket. This market is especially available in Test matches.
Powerplay Score
In T20 and ODI, there are separate markets on how many runs will be scored during the powerplay overs. This market requires analysing the batting team's aggression in the opening overs.
How to Read and Understand Odds
The same team's winning price can be written in three different formats. All three mean the same thing — only the way they are expressed differs.
Say Team A wins — here is what you get on a ৳200 bet. The same odds shown in three formats:
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including stake: ৳450 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win (৳200):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite Team B (৳200 bet):
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. In American odds, the minus sign shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳250 in total (only ৳50 profit) — a favourite means less profit but a higher chance of winning.
On okbd, the okbd Bet markets default to Decimal format, but you can change it to your preference.
Live Betting — Odds Shift When Wickets Fall
In-play betting takes cricket to a completely new level. As the match goes on, odds change with every ball and after every over.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen and the cost of backing the bowling team shortens. Conversely, a big six or boundary brings the batting team's odds down.
If the batting team gets off to a good start in the powerplay, their odds in the match winner market shift quickly. Similarly, if the batting team loses wickets in quick succession mid-innings, the opposing team's price can suddenly become attractive.
When betting live, keep in mind: decisions need to be made fast, so it is important to already understand the markets. Set a budget limit for yourself and read our responsible gaming page to learn more about responsible betting.
- In T20, odds change fastest in the last five overs
- In Test cricket, odds shift as pitch conditions change day by day
- Fluctuations in run rate have an immediate effect on over/under markets
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — winning cannot be guaranteed. But staying informed makes for a better experience.
Understand the format before you bet
The same market works differently in T20 and Test. Choose markets that suit the format.
Stick to a budget
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Do not go beyond that — even when you are on a winning run.
Focus on one market
Rather than betting on many markets at once, focusing on one or two is a better habit.
Stay calm in live betting
Making decisions based on emotion in in-play betting increases the chance of mistakes. Assess the situation before placing a bet.
