Three formats of cricket — what happens in each
To understand cricket betting, you first need a clear picture of the three formats. T20 is the fastest — a 20-over match finishes in about three hours, so odds change very quickly. Bangladesh's BPL is played in this format, and India's IPL is the biggest draw for T20 betting.
ODI, or One Day International, has 50 overs per side, so the situation shifts multiple times — a mid-innings wicket or a growing partnership can change the face of a market. Test matches are played over five days; a draw is a valid result here, so the market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
At betwin win, you can bet on various tournaments including BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers international series. Cricket betting works differently from football and other sports — every over, wicket and run rate directly affects the odds, which makes cricket especially popular for live betting.
Popular cricket markets and how they work
Each market has its own rules — seven common markets are explained below with simple examples.
Match Winner
SimplestA bet on which team will win the match. Example: if Team A is the favourite, their odds are lower and Team B's odds are higher. In T20 and ODI a draw is not possible, so there are two options; in Test there are three.
Toss Winner
Quick ResultBet on the toss outcome before the match begins — since both teams have roughly equal chances, this is known as a straightforward market. It has little connection to conditions on the field.
Top Batsman
Higher OddsA bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Since any batsman could come out on top, odds in this market tend to be higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
Runs BasedThe bookmaker sets a specific run total, for example 160. You bet on whether the total runs scored will be more than that (over) or fewer (under). Pitch, weather and the team's batting strength are factors to consider here.
Powerplay Runs
In-PlayA bet on how many runs will be scored during the T20 powerplay — the first six overs. Because the result is known early in the match, this is quite popular with live bettors.
Multi Bet
Multiple SelectionsA multi bet combines three or more bets at the same time. If all selections are correct, the odds of each are multiplied together for a larger return — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for a detailed example.
Handicap and Exchange Betting
In a handicap market, the weaker team is given a virtual run advantage to make the odds roughly equal for both sides. In betting exchange, you bet against another bettor rather than a bookmaker — BACK means you bet that the team will win, and LAY means you bet that the team will lose. Various markets of this type are available at betwin win.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — a comparison
Odds are displayed in three formats on betting platforms. All three express the same probability, only the way they are read differs. The example below uses a bet on Team A winning, with a stake of ৳200.
| Format | Odds | Explanation | Return (on a ৳200 bet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply the odds by the stake for total return | ৳450 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 | ৳250 profit + ৳200 stake |
| American | +125 | Plus means profit on ৳100 | ৳250 profit + ৳200 stake |
The example above shows that decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4 and American +125 all represent the same bet. A ৳200 stake returns ৳450 in total (including ৳250 profit) if Team A wins; if Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Multi bet example: Three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70 — combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all three are correct; if even one is wrong, ৳100 is lost.
Odds shift when wickets fall — in-play betting
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In T20, when two wickets fall in the first over, that team's odds of winning rise sharply. Equally, when three consecutive sixes push the run rate up, the odds drop quickly.
Understanding these shifts and making decisions at the right moment is the core of in-play betting. In an ODI, you can watch the score up to the 25th over and then bet on the over/under market for the remaining 25 overs. In Test matches, the first innings figures give you an idea of how the match might unfold.
At betwin win, live betting odds update every few seconds. It is therefore important to keep your screen refreshed on the mobile app or browser. Take a moment before placing each bet, and if you are interested, the betwin win App lets you view live scores and odds together.
- Check the markets before the match starts — it will make it easier to decide quickly during live play.
- If no wickets fall during the powerplay, the run rate usually goes up — odds on the over market shift at that point.
- In Test cricket, pitch conditions change as the days progress — this affects match winner odds.
Cricket compared to football and other sports
In football, a match ends in 90 minutes and goals are rare — so markets are comparatively less varied. Main markets: match winner (1X2), both teams to score, total goals.
In cricket, every ball is an event — wicket, runs, no-ball, boundary. That is why cricket has far more markets and odds move at every moment.
Kabaddi, badminton and tennis also have betting markets — but they do not have the same widespread following in Bangladesh as cricket, so their markets are comparatively smaller.
Things to keep in mind with cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — no strategy guarantees profit. That said, keeping a few general points in mind can make the betting experience more enjoyable.
-
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much money you are comfortable spending on betting. It is better not to go beyond that limit. See the responsible gaming guide for more details.
-
Focus on one market: Start with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Move to more complex markets as you gain experience.
-
No rushing in live betting: Because odds change fast, there is a temptation to decide on the spot. Still, take a moment to think before each bet.
-
Choose markets suited to the format: Total runs over/under works well in T20; match winner offers more variety in Test cricket.
-
Read the terms and conditions: Before betting, take a look at betwin win's terms and conditions — especially the rules for multi bets and in-play betting.
-
Betting is entertainment, not investment: Use betting to add to the enjoyment of cricket — winning and losing are both a natural part of it.

If you LAY Team A in the same match (against a ৳500 backer's stake): you gain ৳500 profit if Team A does not win; if Team A wins, you pay ৳500. To learn more about exchange betting, visit the betwin win Bet page.
