Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The three main cricket formats are T20, One Day Internationals (ODI), and Test. Betting works a little differently in each format. T20 matches finish quickly, so odds move fast and live betting is most active in this format. ODI matches offer a wider variety of betting markets over a longer period — you can bet on runs and wickets separately for each innings. In Test cricket, odds shift slowly across five days of play, and the draw market is also available — something you do not get in T20 or ODI.
At 33db you can bet on BPL, IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup, and various international and bilateral series. BPL and Bangladesh national team (Tigers) matches are the most popular among Bangladeshi cricket fans.
Differences Between Betting on Cricket, Football, and Other Sports
The main difference between cricket and football betting markets lies in the structure of the match. Football centres on three outcomes over 90 minutes — home win, away win, or draw. Cricket (T20 and ODI) usually has only two outcomes, but offers far more market variety — top scorer, maiden over, whether the first ball will take a wicket, partnership runs, and many other types of markets.
Live betting is popular in both cricket and football, but in cricket odds shift after every over or wicket, so the situation changes quickly. At 33db, sports betting is a separate section alongside casino games — if you also want to spend time on slots or other games, you can visit the 33db slots section.
Sports like kabaddi, badminton, tennis, and basketball generally offer match winner and spread markets. Among Bangladeshi bettors, cricket remains by far the most followed.
Is betting entertainment?
Yes — betting is a form of entertainment. There is no guarantee of winning, and any bet carries the risk of losing money. To learn more about responsible betting, read our responsible gaming guidelines.
Popular Betting Markets
33db offers multiple cricket betting markets. Below are the six most commonly used markets with a brief description of each.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. For example — if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, your bet wins; if Team B wins, you lose. In T20 matches there is generally no draw option.
Toss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss. This is an entirely random market — both outcomes have equal probability, though the odds are often not equal.
Top Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs in the match. You can also select a player within a specific team.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in an innings or across the full match will be over or under a set number. For example — whether an innings will produce more than 160 runs.
Multi Bet
Bet on multiple matches or selections at once, with all odds multiplied together for a larger potential return. All selections must win for the bet to pay out — if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Next Wicket
In live betting, you can bet on whether a wicket will fall in the next over or within a set time. If a wicket falls and your bet is on that outcome, you win.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
Betting platforms may display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to win (৳1,000): Decimal odds of 2.50 mean that if your bet wins, your total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone. Fractional 3/2 and American +150 say the same thing.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (৳1,000): Decimal 1.25 means Team B is the favourite. If you stake ৳1,000 and win, you get back ৳1,250 (only ৳250 profit). American −400 means you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100.
The teams are fictional examples — these are not odds for any specific match, just illustrations of odds formats.
Multi Bet Example
If three separate selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70, and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three win, you receive ৳459. But if any one loses, you lose the entire ৳100.
Multi bets can offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. Every selection must win independently.
Live Betting — How Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Live or in-play betting means placing bets on a match that is already in progress. It differs from pre-match betting because odds change after every ball.
Say Team A is batting and has scored 90 runs in the first 10 overs — at that point, Team A's odds to win will shorten because their chances have improved. Conversely, if a quick wicket falls, the odds will move in the other direction.
In T20 matches, odds change after every over and every wicket. This means you need to watch the match closely and make decisions quickly during live betting.
In Test cricket, session-based betting is available — separate markets open for how many wickets will fall or how many runs will be scored in the first session. Over/under markets are more active during powerplay overs, as more runs tend to be scored in that period.
Practical Tips for Getting Started with Betting
Betting is for entertainment. The tips below will help you enjoy cricket betting in a more organised way.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each week or month. Stop when you reach that limit. 33db's account settings let you set a spending limit for yourself.
Start with one market
If you are new to betting, the match winner market is the easiest place to start. Once you understand odds, you can gradually move to other markets. Rather than spreading across many markets at once, stay focused.
Compare odds
Look at the difference in odds across different markets for the same match. Decimal format is the easiest to compare — a higher number means a potentially bigger return, but the event is less likely to happen.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can look attractive because of the higher return, but more selections means more risk. Every selection has to be correct — one wrong pick and the entire bet is lost. Multi bets are part of the entertainment, not a reliable way to earn.
Do not chase losses
Placing larger bets after a loss to try to recover is risky. Each bet is independent — a previous result does not affect the next one.
