Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
A big part of cricket betting is its different formats — each has its own pace, strategy and betting opportunities. T20 is the fastest. Matches finish in just 20 overs, so odds shift very quickly. BPL and IPL are played in this format — both tournaments have a strong following among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI, or One Day International, gives 50 overs per side, so the situation can turn around mid-match. ICC tournaments feature both T20 and ODI formats. Test cricket is a five-day game — patience and pitch behaviour play a major role here. The type of betting markets differs across all three formats, so it is important to understand which format you are betting on.
The Bangladesh Tigers' home series, BPL and the T20 World Cup are the three events where the most markets are open on x baze. For each match, you can bet both pre-match and live in-play.
How Football and Other Sports Betting Differ
Outside cricket, football is the most watched sport in Bangladesh. A football match ends in 90 minutes and a draw is a normal result, so there are usually three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In limited-overs cricket, a draw is generally not possible, so the odds are split between just the two teams.
Sports like kabaddi, tennis or badminton tend to have fewer markets — usually just match winner and handicap. Cricket offers comparatively far more detailed markets — when a wicket falls, runs in the first over of an innings, toss, and so on. So cricket fans have more variety in terms of markets.
x baze has markets for other sports alongside cricket, but cricket has the greatest market depth. For those who want to enjoy live casino games beyond betting, a separate experience is available in the W Live section.
Football Betting
Three possible outcomes — win, loss or draw. Odds on league favourites are usually lower.
Cricket Betting
Different markets across T20, ODI and Test. Draw is only possible in Test. Odds change over by over in live betting.
The Most Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Whether you are new or experienced, the markets below are used the most. Each one works a little differently.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. In Test, a draw may also be available.
Toss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely random and has no relation to the strength of either team.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match or innings. Understanding a team's batting order helps here.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored by both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. For example: "Will total runs exceed 320?"
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Placing multiple matches or markets together in a single bet. For example, three selections with odds of 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 — if all win, a ৳100 bet returns ৳459. But if even one selection loses, the whole bet is lost.
First Wicket and Over Markets
Total runs in the first five overs, when the first wicket will fall — experienced bettors pay particular attention to these specific markets.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. x baze generally uses the decimal format because it is easy to calculate.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳200:
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If the bet wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake).
If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win, bet ৳200:
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (minus means the amount you need to stake to make 100 profit).
If the bet wins, total return is ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 stake).
| Format | Example | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Stake 4, profit 5 |
| American | +125 / −125 | + means profit on 100 staked; − means amount to stake for 100 profit |
Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. With pre-match betting you decide based only on the starting situation, but with in-play you can bet as the match develops.
For example, if Team A scores 65 runs in the first 6 overs of a T20 match, their odds of winning shorten (meaning they become the favourite). On the other hand, if two quick wickets fall, the odds lengthen again. This movement is what sets in-play betting apart.
In-play betting in Test cricket is more complex — pitch behaviour, weather and even the batting team's fatigue are all reflected in live odds. If pace bowling becomes more effective in the final session of the day, odds can shift quickly against the batting team.

Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the points below in mind helps keep the experience more structured.
Start with One Format
T20 is the fastest and easiest to follow. If you are new, focus on the match winner market in T20 first. Once you are comfortable with one format, explore the others.
Set a Budget First
Set a separate budget for each match. Multi bets can return more but the risk is also higher — you only profit if every selection is correct. So keep your multi bet allocation small.
No Rush in Live Betting
Odds change very fast in in-play. When odds shift after a wicket, take a moment to assess the situation rather than feeling pressured to bet immediately.
Compare Odds
Odds on the same market can differ at different times. Pre-match odds are generally a bit more stable, while in-play odds change with every ball.
Bet Responsibly
Betting is for entertainment — increasing your bets to recover losses is not a good decision. Read the responsible gaming page for more information.
