Cricket betting at odds96 cricket — place your bets in T20, ODI and Test formats
From BPL to the T20 World Cup, home grounds to international series — bet across all formats in one place. Bet on match winner, live in-play, top batsman and more markets at clear odds.
Cricket's three formats and popular competitions
The first step in cricket betting is understanding the formats. Each format has a different style of play, so the approach to betting differs too.
T20 is the fastest format — each side plays just 20 overs. Results shift quickly, and odds move at the same pace. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the biggest events in this format. BPL has always been a particularly exciting draw for Bangladeshi fans.
ODI stands for One Day International — a 50-over match. Top batsman, partnerships and mid-match momentum are important factors to consider when betting.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is a possible result in this format, so the odds structure is different from T20 or ODI. Test betting opportunities are available in the ICC World Test Championship and international bilateral series.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
While cricket is the main attraction at odds96 cricket, you can also bet on football and other sports. In football there are three possible results — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so the odds are split directly between two outcomes.
Popular football markets include half-time score, goalscorer and number of corners. In cricket the equivalent markets are top batsman, a bowler taking five or more wickets, innings total runs and ball-by-ball odds that shift in real time during live play.
Markets for other sports are generally smaller, but set-by-set betting in tennis or badminton is structured similarly to innings-based betting in cricket. The key difference is the scoring system and match length, which directly affects how odds move.
Before placing any bets, it is worth reading the responsible gaming policy — it covers betting limits and safe play guidelines.
Seven popular betting markets that are used most often
Match Winner
A straightforward bet on which of the two teams will win. For example: team A vs team B — if you pick team A, you get a return only if team A wins. This is the simplest market in T20.
All FormatsToss Winner
Which team wins the toss before the match starts — this market has no connection to on-field performance, so odds are usually close to even for both sides.
T20 / ODITop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs? Pitch conditions and batting order are taken into account in this market. Separate markets are available for a single innings or the full match.
All FormatsTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the combined runs of both teams be above or below a set number? For example, whether total runs will exceed 315 — pitch reports and weather play a role in this market.
ODI / T20Multi Bet
Place multiple bets together on a single slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply for a larger return — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MatchesFirst Wicket to Fall
In which over will the first wicket fall? On a pace-friendly pitch it is more likely to happen early. This market is mainly popular in T20 and ODI.
T20 / ODIBetting Exchange
On a betting exchange you can not only place bets, you can also take the other side of someone else's bet (LAY betting). For example: if you back team A to win, you profit if team A wins and lose if they do not. If you lay team A, you profit if team A does not win. Exchanges generally take a commission on winnings.

AdvancedDecimal, fractional and American odds formats — how to read them
The same outcome in the same match can be written in three different ways. The example below shows a bet on team A winning with a ৳500 stake.
| Format | Odds | How to read it | Return (if you win) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Multiply directly by your stake: ৳500 × 2.50 = ৳1,250 | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + original stake ৳500) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 bet: ৳500 × (3÷2) = ৳750 profit | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + stake returned) |
| American (plus) | +150 | ৳150 profit for every ৳100 bet: a ৳500 bet returns ৳750 profit | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + stake returned) |
Now let's look at a slightly different example — a bet on favourite team B to win, with the same ৳500 stake. The odds are lower here because team B is considered more likely to win.
| Format | Odds | Explanation | Return (if you win) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳500 × 1.80 = ৳900 total return | ৳900 (profit ৳400 + stake ৳500) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 bet | ৳900 (profit ৳400 + stake returned) |
| American (minus) | -125 | You need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100. Minus means the favourite. | ৳900 (profit ৳400 + stake returned) |
If the bet loses, in both cases you only lose the stake — ৳500 and nothing more. All three formats express the same outcome; only the way they are presented differs.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how live betting works
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Every wicket, every boundary and every over changes the situation — and the odds update instantly to reflect that.
Say team B needs 180 runs in 20 overs and is 60/3 after 10 overs. At that moment the odds on team B winning will be much higher than before because they are under pressure. However, one big partnership can bring those odds down quickly.
In T20 death overs (16–20), odds move the most on every ball. In ODI, the mid-innings run rate, and in Test, the wickets at close of play determine the odds at the start of the next day.
In live betting there is less time to decide, so set your budget in advance.
Practical habits for cricket betting
Choose markets that suit the format
In T20, match winner and total runs are the most straightforward markets. In Test, a draw is always a possibility, so keep all three outcomes in mind.
Check the pitch report and weather
A batting-friendly pitch increases the likelihood of a high total. If rain is forecast, the DLS method may be applied in limited-overs matches, which can affect the result.
Higher odds in a multi bet also mean higher risk
In a three-selection multi bet the odds multiply and look large, but if even one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Think about each selection separately.
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet on a match before you start. If you lose, do not try to recover by placing a larger bet — betting is entertainment, not a way to recover losses.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in in-play betting. Having a plan before the match reduces the chance of making mistakes under pressure.
Keep in mind before you start betting
- Betting is for entertainment, not a source of income.
- This service is not for those under 21 years of age.
- There is no guarantee of recovering money you have lost.
- Every bet is an independent decision — the result of a past match has no effect on the next one.
- Being able to stop even after a win keeps the experience enjoyable.
- If needed, set your own limits on the responsible gaming page.
How a multi bet is calculated across three matches
In a multi bet, multiple selections are placed together on a single bet slip. If three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (approximately).
With a ৳100 stake, if all three selections are correct the return is ৳381. But if even one of the three is wrong, you lose the full ৳100 — there is no partial return.
That is why multi bets carry higher risk even though the potential payout is larger. Use them for entertainment, and it is better not to place several large multi bets at the same time.
৳100 stake, three correct selections. If even one is wrong, you lose ৳100.
