Cricket Betting at 662bet — bet on every format from T20 to Test
662bet offers a range of betting markets for every match in international cricket, including BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup. You can bet before the match starts or while the game is in progress.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket betting covers three main formats — T20, One Day International (ODI), and Test. Each format plays differently, so betting strategies vary accordingly.
T20: The fastest format. Scores and results change rapidly across just twenty overs, making it the most popular format for live betting. In Bangladesh, BPL is the favourite domestic tournament, while the T20 World Cup draws the most international attention.
ODI: In this fifty-over format, the strategy of both batsmen and bowlers matters throughout the game. ICC events — the World Cup in particular — make ODI betting especially popular.
Test: In five days of long-form cricket, a draw is a valid result, so the betting market splits three ways — Team A win, Team B win, or draw. Pitch conditions and weather both influence Test bets.
Although IPL takes place in India, cricket fans in Bangladesh follow the tournament closely. Between Bangladesh Tigers international series and BPL, 662bet has cricket betting available throughout the year.
T20 — Fast Betting
Scores change ball by ball, so odds in live markets update constantly. BPL and the T20 World Cup offer the widest range of markets.
ODI — A Game of Strategy
Betting markets cover every phase across fifty overs, from the powerplay to the death overs. ODI betting is popular during ICC events.
Test — A Test of Patience
Over five days, pitch, weather, and the rhythm of play all combine to make three types of result possible. Test betting is unique for long-term wagers.
7 Popular Markets — How to Bet on Each
-
Match Winner: The simplest market — bet on whether Team A or Team B will win. This is the most widely used market in T20 and ODI. Example: Team A's odds are 1.45, Team B's are 2.75 — if you think Team B will win, place your bet there.
-
Toss Winner: This market is about who wins the coin toss before the match starts. It is entirely based on chance — the performance of either team plays no part.
-
Top Batsman: Pick which batsman will score the most runs in a given innings. You choose from several options. Pitch conditions and the batting order are key factors here.
-
Total Runs Over/Under: Bet on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Analysing pitch and wicket conditions helps when choosing.
-
Multi Bet: Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return. If even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost — making this a higher-risk option.
-
Next Wicket Method: Bet on how the next wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, and so on. This market is mainly available in live betting, where odds change after every ball.
-
Handicap Betting: A virtual advantage or disadvantage is applied to a team to account for the difference in strength. For example, if Team A is given a −1.5 run handicap, they must win by more than two runs for the bet to pay out.
Every Ball Counts in Live Markets
Odds shift instantly when a wicket falls or a six is hit — live betting means making decisions as the match unfolds.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
Betting sites display odds in three ways — Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three express the same probability; only the format differs. The two examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — Underdog Odds
Say you bet on Team A to win — the odds in all three formats look like this:
Decimal: 3.00 |
Fractional: 2/1 |
American: +200
A ৳200 bet on Team A winning returns ৳600 in total (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Odds
Team B is the favourite — the odds for this bet:
Decimal: 1.25 |
Fractional: 1/4 |
American: −400
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet on Team B winning returns ৳250 (৳50 profit).
The lower the odds number, the more of a favourite the team is — and the smaller the profit. Higher numbers mean a lower chance of winning, but a bigger return if it comes in. Betting is always for entertainment — no outcome is guaranteed.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Wicket by Wicket
In live betting, you can place bets at any point during the match. The moment a wicket falls, a boundary is hit, or an over ends, odds update instantly. This rapid change is what sets live betting apart.
Say Team A has scored 60 runs for 2 wickets in the powerplay — odds may tighten a little because the team is in a strong position. But if two more wickets then fall in quick succession, the odds swing the other way. This constant movement is what makes cricket live betting engaging.
Live markets can include: how many runs will be scored in the next over, how the next wicket will fall, and who will be ahead at a specific over — among other short-form markets. Decision time is short, so it helps to understand the markets in advance.
More live markets and real-time updates are available in the BeterLive Live Betting section — where you can also find live bets on football and other sports beyond cricket.
Odds Change Over by Over
The outcome of each ball creates a new opportunity in live markets. Placing the right bet in the right market at the right time is the core challenge of live betting.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
In T20 and ODI cricket markets, a draw is generally not an option — win or lose is the only outcome. In football, a draw is a normal result, so the match winner market has three options: Team A win, Team B win, or draw. This three-way market makes football betting different from cricket.
Football has popular markets like total goals over/under, Asian handicap, and number of corner kicks — none of which exist in cricket. Cricket instead offers over-based and wicket-based markets. Both sports are equally available at 662bet, but the betting strategies are different.
In sports like boxing, kabaddi, or athletics, betting markets are relatively limited — usually just match winner or points margin. 662bet's boxing betting section has detailed markets including round betting and method-of-victory bets.
Football vs Cricket
Football has three possible results including a draw; cricket usually has two. The number and type of markets differ considerably — each sport calls for a different approach.
Multi Bet — Three Markets Combined
Multi Bet Slip
Combine three separate selections into one bet for a higher potential return — but if even one is wrong, the whole bet is lost.
A multi bet combines multiple selections into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together to produce the total odds.
Multi Bet Example (3 Selections)
Odds across three separate markets: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approx.).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost — the higher return comes with higher risk.
Set your stake according to what you can afford. A multi bet is for entertainment — it is not a reliable way to earn. To learn more about responsible betting, read our Responsible Gaming page.
4 Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand One Market Well
Rather than spreading across all markets at once, focus first on match winner or over/under — whichever you understand better.
Check Pitch and Weather
A batting-friendly pitch changes how total-run markets behave. In Tests, a rain forecast can affect the draw market.
Set a Budget Beforehand
Decide how much you will bet on each match before you start. Do not go beyond that limit — betting is entertainment, not a way to recover losses.
No Rushing in Live Betting
Odds move fast in in-play betting. Rather than acting on impulse, understand the numbers before you decide.
