The Three Formats of Cricket and Major Competitions
Understanding the format helps you understand the betting markets better — T20, ODI and Test each have a different pace, so the strategy differs too.
T20
Each team gets just 20 overs, making the game fast-paced — a wicket can change the situation in an instant. BPL and IPL are both played in this format. The T20 World Cup has a special appeal for Bangladeshi fans. In terms of betting, innings total runs and live betting are most popular in this format.
ODI
The fifty-over one-day format tests both strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in the ODI format and holds particular importance for the Bangladesh national team. Top batsman and top wicket-taker markets are more widely followed in ODIs.
Test
This five-day format is the most classic form of cricket. Since a draw is possible, a match-draw market is also available. In Tests, pitch reports and weather directly influence team strategy.
BPL, IPL and International Series
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) holds special appeal for local cricket fans — the contest between domestic franchises gives every match its own character. Although IPL is India's T20 league, Bangladeshi fans follow it closely as well. In addition, Bangladesh Tigers matches at ICC events such as the T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy attract extra attention on cd33. Separate markets are open for each competition, so you can pick the match of your choice while a series is ongoing.
How Is Betting on Football and Other Sports Different?
Besides cricket, cd33 also offers football betting. In football, every goal shifts the odds, and there are specific markets like half-time/full-time, corner count and first goalscorer that do not exist in cricket. In cricket, wickets, overs and run rate are what regularly move the markets.
Cricket is essentially an innings-based game, so every ball creates a new situation — in football the tension builds as time runs out, but in cricket the last-over calculation creates a completely different kind of pressure.
cd33 also has virtual sports — animated virtual cricket and football matches that can be played at any time, without waiting for a real match.
Popular Markets at cd33
Cricket betting has 5–7 core markets — each with its own structure and approach.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. In T20, choose either "Team A" or "Team B". If a team has higher odds to win, a correct bet on them returns more.
All FormatsToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this market is usually close to 50-50. It is a familiar choice for a low-stakes exploratory bet.
T20, ODITop Batsman
Who will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match — this market requires assessing the team's batting order and current form.
ODI, TestInnings Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a line — for example 165. Choose whether the team's runs will go Over or stay Under that number. The pitch type and openers' form are important factors here.
T20, ODIMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining multiple matches or markets multiplies the odds together, increasing the potential return. For example, picking "Team A to win" across three separate matches — if all are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
All FormatsPowerplay Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (T20) or 10 overs (ODI) — this market depends on the openers' batting aggression and fielding restrictions.
T20, ODIHow Do You Read the Three Odds Formats?
Betting odds are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American (plus/minus). All three express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Team A (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 in total (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked — ৳1,500 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
| American | +150 | Plus means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet — ৳1,500 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
Example with a favourite: Team B's odds are decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 total (৳250 profit). American -400 means you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds That Move With Wickets and Overs
Live betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress — the situation changes with every ball, and so do the odds.
When a Wicket Falls
When a big wicket falls, the odds for the chasing team lengthen because the target becomes harder to reach. The bowling side moves closer to being the favourite.
Runs Needed in the Last Over
If the required run rate in the final over is high, the batting team's odds shorten and the bowling team's odds shorten — these numbers shift from moment to moment.
After the Powerplay
If a big score is posted in the first 6 overs, the total runs market naturally moves. This moment in live play brings new odds and a fresh opportunity to bet.
Next Over Market
How many runs will be scored in a specific over — this micro-market is available in-play. You can make your call based on the bowler's rhythm and the batsman's form.
Keep in Mind for Live Betting
In-play odds move very quickly. cd33 offers live streaming and a scorecard together, which helps you follow the situation before deciding. That said, it is important to keep a set budget for each bet. Betting is for entertainment, not a reliable source of income.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Choose Markets Based on the Format
Total runs markets work well in T20; session-based markets are more relevant in Tests. Matching the market to the pace of the format is a sensible approach.
Set a Fixed Budget
Decide on a separate budget for each match and avoid betting beyond it. Steer clear of the tendency to bet more after a loss.
Keep the Number of Selections Low in Multi Bets
Adding more than three selections makes the combined odds look attractive, but one wrong pick ends the whole bet. Focus on 2–3 selections.
No Rushing in Live Betting
In-play odds change quickly, which can create pressure to decide fast. It is better to check the scorecard, understand the situation, and then place your bet.
