Cricket Betting at cx — A Guide to the Best Bets on BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
cx offers detailed betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From match winner to toss, top batsman and over/under — a clear explanation of betting options and how odds work across every format.
What types of bets are available in each format
The three main formats in cricket betting offer different experiences. In T20, a match ends within a few hours, so markets are comparatively tighter and faster-moving. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the two tournaments most popular among bettors in Bangladesh. The T20 World Cup adds extra interest at the international level because Bangladesh Tigers compete directly.
In the ODI format, markets are much broader across 50 overs. Innings totals, partnerships or runs in a specific powerplay are markets that are particularly popular in ODI. In ICC tournaments, a single wrong decision can change the direction of a match entirely, so odds shift quickly.
In Test cricket, the five-day format offers a different kind of betting. A draw is a separate result here, which does not exist in T20 or ODI. In Test matches, pitch behaviour, weather and a team's batting depth all influence odds. For those who prefer a more patient approach to betting, Test markets have their own appeal.
How is betting on football and other sports different
Alongside cricket, cx also offers betting on football and other sports. Since each sport has a different structure, the style of betting changes accordingly.
🏏 Cricket
Dramatic changes on every ball. Odds shift instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit. In T20, the last 5 overs often decide the fate of the entire match.
⚽ Football
Goals are relatively few in a 90-minute match, making a draw an important result. Asian Handicap and BTTS (both teams to score) are specific markets in football.
🎾 Tennis
A direct contest between two players — there is no draw. Set betting and tiebreaker markets are completely different from the over/under market in cricket.
🏀 Basketball
A high-scoring game, so total points markets are very active. Bets can also be placed on individual quarters, which is comparable to innings betting in cricket.
In cricket, a single wicket or a change in run rate can move odds in an instant — this is not as pronounced in any other sport. That is why bettors in Bangladesh generally consider cricket the most dynamic sport for betting. For more details on the site's rules and conditions, read the Terms and Conditions page.
7 popular betting markets with simple examples
Below is how each market works, along with common examples. The numbers are for illustration only — odds in real bets will differ.
Match winner bet
Select which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A will win, place your bet on Team A.
Toss betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. A simple 50/50 market — odds are usually nearly equal.
Highest run scorer
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match? Bets can be placed within a team or across the whole match separately.
Total runs over/under
Whether runs scored will be above or below a set line. Example: whether a team's total in a T20 will be more than 160.
Multi bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections win, you receive the full return — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
Most wickets taken
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. With a mix of pace and spin, odds in this market tend to fluctuate more.
Powerplay runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs. In T20, the powerplay often sets the tone for the match.
Decimal, fractional and American odds together
The same odds can be written in three different ways. See the example below for Team A's odds of winning:
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | You receive ৳2.50 back for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (odds 2.50)
If you place a ৳1,000 bet and Team A wins, you receive ৳2,500 back (৳1,500 profit plus ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (odds 1.80)
Team B's decimal odds of 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American −125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins, you receive ৳1,800 back (৳800 profit).
cx generally uses the decimal format, as it is the simplest to read and understand. All three formats show the same outcome — only the presentation differs.
How odds change when a wicket falls — in-play betting
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, every ball creates a new situation, so live odds change from moment to moment.
What happens when a wicket falls?
The odds for the team that loses a wicket generally go up (meaning their probability decreases), while the opponent's odds come down. In T20, one key wicket can flip the entire market.
The impact of a big over
If a team scores 18–20 runs in an over, their odds of winning come down (meaning their probability increases). This shift is fastest and most dramatic in the later overs.
From powerplay to death overs
If the batting team scores well in the powerplay, odds move in one direction; but losing wickets in the middle overs shifts the balance again. In the death overs, odds reset after every ball.
Market suspended
The market is temporarily suspended at the exact moment a wicket falls or during a review. It reopens once the new situation is understood and new odds are set.
A few practical tips for cricket betting
Rather than spreading across many markets at the start, pick one — such as match winner or over/under. Once you understand it well, moving to other markets becomes easier.
Decide how much you will bet each session before you start. Betting is part of entertainment — avoid the temptation to place larger bets to recover losses. Read the Responsible Gaming page for guidelines on playing responsibly.
Multi bets may look attractive due to higher returns, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet. Multi bets with fewer selections are less risky.
Betting on pace bowlers in ODI or Test matches on a spin-friendly pitch increases risk. Rain and drop-in pitches also affect odds.
Odds change quickly in-play. If you miss a good opportunity, waiting for the next one is the wiser move, as cricket provides opportunities regularly.
