Cricket's three formats and major tournaments

bet tekka markets for T20 and ODI cricket matches

The three most popular cricket betting formats are T20, ODI and Test. Betting works differently in each format, so knowing a little about each one makes it easier to place bets.

T20 matches last only a few hours, so results come quickly and there are more in-play betting opportunities. ODI has a full 50 overs — teams change strategy, run rates shift, and there is more variety in the markets. Test matches last five days, and a draw is a possible result — so you can bet on three outcomes.

At bet tekka you can bet on the tournaments most popular with Bangladeshi fans — BPL, IPL, the T20 World Cup and international competitions like the ICC Champions Trophy. From grounds in Dhaka to venues anywhere in the world — all in one place.

Football Betting — in brief

Alongside cricket, bet tekka also has markets for football betting. In football, match winner, both teams to score and handicap markets are popular. Draws are more common in football than cricket, so odds in three-way markets differ somewhat.

Other Sports and Basketball

You can also bet on basketball, tennis and other sports at bet tekka. Points totals and spread betting in basketball work similarly to over/under markets in cricket. For more details, visit the bet tekka basketball betting page.

Popular cricket markets — how each one works

Match Winner

Which team will win the match — the simplest market. In T20 there is no draw, so you just pick one of the two teams.

Most Popular

Toss Winner

Which team wins the coin toss before the match — the result is completely independent, as it does not depend on player skill.

Simple and Quick

Top Batsman

Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match — here you bet on individual performance rather than team outcome.

Individual Market

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether the combined runs scored by both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number — this market does not require picking a team.

Totals Market

First Over Runs

How many runs will be scored in the first over of the match — a short, quick market that settles as soon as the first over is complete.

Quick Result

Multi Bet (multiple selections)

Combining the results of multiple matches or markets into one bet — if all selections are correct the return is larger, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.

Higher Returns

Handicap Betting

The stronger team is given a disadvantage in the odds to keep the market balanced. Example: if Team A is given a -1.5 wicket handicap, even if Team A wins, the bet loses if the margin is not enough. Handicap betting is understood in terms of the outcome — there is no fixed stake or return calculation here.

Series Winner

A market on who will win an entire series, beyond a single match. For tournaments like BPL or IPL, the market to pick the champion opens before the competition starts and settles after the final. Odds in these long-term markets change gradually.

Odds in three formats — how to read them

At bet tekka, odds can be displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.

Format Team A Win Odds Team B Win Odds
Decimal 2.25 1.50
Fractional 5/4 1/2
American +125 -200

Worked example 1 — betting on Team A to win

Say Team A's decimal odds of winning are 2.25 (fractional 5/4, American +125). A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 in total if Team A wins — that includes ৳625 profit and the original ৳500 stake. If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.

Working Example 2 — Favourite Team B

Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — decimal 1.50 (fractional 1/2, American -200). In American format, a minus sign means you stake that amount to win ৳100. A ৳500 bet returns ৳750 if Team B wins — a profit of only ৳250.

Understanding the difference in odds makes it clear how much risk is involved in each market. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a guarantee of profit.

Multi Bet — three selections combined

Say three separate selections have decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximate). A ৳100 multi bet returns ৳426 if all three are correct. But if any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost — that is how multi bets work.

Live In-Play Betting — markets during the match

bet tekka live in-play cricket betting screen

In-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress — it is a completely different experience from regular pre-match betting. At bet tekka, odds update in real time even after the match has started.

How odds shift when a wicket falls

When a team's key batsman is dismissed, that team's odds of winning increase immediately. This means when things get harder, the potential return on a bet also grows.

How run rate affects odds as overs progress

As the required run rate rises in the final overs, the odds against the chasing team may shorten. In live markets, this change is visible after every ball.

What to keep in mind for in-play betting

Live markets can close quickly or odds can change in an instant. Check the odds shown on screen carefully before confirming a bet. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is always important.

Useful tips for betting — know this before you start

  • Start with one market. Begin with a straightforward market like match winner, then move to totals or multi bets. Betting on complex markets without understanding them increases risk.
  • Set a budget in advance. Decide how much you can afford to spend for entertainment before you start. You should not place extra bets to recover losses — betting is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money.
  • Compare odds. Look at the odds across different markets for the same match — to understand which carries more risk and which carries less. Before making betting decisions, also learn about the bet tekka VIP membership benefits.
  • Be careful with multi bets. Adding more selections does increase the potential return, but it also reduces the chance of all of them being correct. Keep multi bets limited to a small number of reliable selections.
  • Understand the format. A draw is possible in Test cricket but not in T20 — not knowing this can cause confusion when you see a third option in the market.
  • Avoid rushing in live betting. Odds change fast in in-play markets, so make decisions with a clear head. Quick decisions made under pressure are often wrong.

Cricket Betting Common Questions

T20 matches finish quickly and have only two outcomes (no draw), so they are easier for beginners. ODI offers more market variety but matches run longer. In Test cricket there are three possible results (Team A win, Team B win, draw) — not knowing this can lead to picking the wrong market.

Major international matches and key tournaments such as BPL and IPL usually have in-play markets. Smaller or less prominent matches may only have pre-match markets. Live markets can close at any time depending on match conditions.

If a match is abandoned due to rain or moved to a reserve day, bets are settled according to bet tekka's rules. Generally, if the required number of overs has not been completed, bets are voided and the stake is returned. For multi bets, that selection is removed and the remaining odds are used to calculate the result. See the terms and conditions for specific rules.

The toss is a completely independent event — it has no connection to player skill or team strength. So odds in the toss market are usually nearly equal for both sides. The rest of the match result does not affect the toss market — it settles as soon as the toss is done.

Decimal odds of 2.25 mean that for every ৳1 staked, you get back ৳2.25 in total if you win — this includes your original stake. Example: a ৳500 bet that wins returns ৳1,125 in total (profit ৳625 + original stake ৳500). Odds cannot go below 1.0 — odds of 1.0 means no profit, only your original stake back.
