T20, ODI and Test — how betting differs across the three formats
Cricket betting covers three distinct formats — T20, ODI and Test — and each offers a different betting experience. T20 is the fastest and most action-packed — a match's outcome can shift within just 20 overs. Odds move on every ball, because a six or a wicket can change the entire momentum. BPL and IPL are the two T20 leagues that attract the most interest among cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI cricket offers more betting opportunities across a 50-over match, as the strategy runs deeper. Top batsman, opening partnership or runs in a specific over — these markets are especially popular in ODIs. ICC tournaments, the T20 World Cup and ODI matches in bilateral series attract the most attention.
Test cricket betting across a five-day match works quite differently. A draw is a valid result, so a three-way betting market applies. Innings results, runs per session and series winner bets are what make Test cricket distinctive.
7 popular cricket betting markets at prometric
A brief explanation and a simple example for each market are given below. Betting is for entertainment — this is not financial advice.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match is the simplest bet. In T20 and ODI you choose one of the two teams. Example: Team A vs Team B — you bet on Team B, and if Team B wins your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely random — it has no connection to form or quality of play. Example: Team A's odds to win the toss are 1.90 and Team B's are 1.90 — the two are usually very close.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a particular innings — this is a slightly more strategic market. Example: choosing one of three batsmen from Team A who you think will score the most runs.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether total runs in a match or an innings will go above (over) or stay below (under) a set number. Example: a line of 160 runs is set for a T20 innings — if you think the total will exceed it, you take "over".
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
You can bet on several matches at once and multiply the odds together. However, if any selection is wrong the entire bet loses. Example: bets on three matches at odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 — a ৳100 stake could return ৳547, but if even one is wrong the full ৳100 is lost.
Man of the Match
Picking who will be named the best player of the match before it is decided. This market typically offers higher odds because there are many candidates. Example: choosing one from five batsmen and three bowlers.
Handicap Betting
One team is given an artificial advantage or disadvantage to level the difference between the two sides. Example: a -15 run handicap on Team A means their bet wins only if they win by 16 or more runs.
Decimal, fractional and American — odds in three formats
The same price can be displayed in three different ways. The two examples below make it easy to understand.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
| Format | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return of ৳2.25 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 2 — favourite's odds
| Format | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Total return of ৳1.50 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | -200 | ৳100 profit on a ৳200 bet (minus = favourite) |
"Team A" and "Team B" are used here — these are examples only and do not reflect any real match. Betting does not guarantee profit; it is entertainment.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — live in-play betting LIVE
Live betting is the most engaging side of cricket. During a match, odds keep changing every over, after big shots and after every wicket. When momentum shifts from one team to the other, the team that is behind sees its odds lengthen while the team in front sees its odds shorten.
Consider this example: if Team A makes a strong start in the first 10 overs, Team B's odds may be slightly higher. Then if Team A loses two wickets in the 11th over, the balance of odds shifts quickly.
In T20, the powerplay (first 6 overs) and death overs (last 4 overs) see the most activity in live markets. In ODI, the run rate in the middle overs, and in Test cricket session-by-session changes, add further depth to live betting.

How betting exchange and multi bets work
There is an important difference between regular betting and a betting exchange. In regular betting you bet directly against the bookmaker. On an exchange you can bet against other players — and you have two options: BACK (betting on a win) or LAY (betting against a win).
BACKing Team A means a ৳500 bet — if Team A wins you profit ৳500, if they do not you lose ৳500.
LAYing Team A means standing against a ৳500 backer — if Team A does not win you profit ৳500, if Team A wins you pay out ৳500 (liability ৳500 × 1.00).
Figures shown before commission is deducted.
Multi bet example: three separate bets on three matches — odds 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90. Combined odds: 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all three are correct. But if even one is wrong the full ৳100 is lost — that risk is worth keeping in mind.

Multi Bet High RiskA few things to keep in mind before starting cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — no profit is guaranteed. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience better.
Set a budget first
Decide in advance the maximum amount you will bet in each session and stay within that limit. Betting is one form of entertainment — putting your entire budget at risk is not advisable.
Focus on one market
Rather than jumping into many markets at once, start with one or two — such as match winner or total runs. Once you understand the rules well, try other markets.
Understand the format before you bet
T20, ODI and Test each have their own pace. Live betting in T20 requires quick decisions, while Test cricket gives you time to analyse sessions.
Know the odds format
Decimal odds are the most straightforward — simply multiply to find the total return. Decimal is a good starting point for beginners.
Play responsibly
When betting stops being fun and starts feeling like pressure, it is time to stop. Read the responsible gaming guidelines — prometric has tools to help you set limits.
