Cricket Betting at 17 crickex — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
Betting opportunities on every moment of cricket — match winner, toss, top batsman, live in-play and many more markets. Whether it's the Bangladesh Tigers or IPL, everything is in one place at 17 crickex.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Understanding cricket betting starts with knowing the formats. Each format has a different pace of play, batting approach and type of result — which means different betting opportunities.
T20 is the fastest format — 20 overs per side, plenty of boundaries, and results that stay open until the final over. Popular leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format. For fans in Bangladesh, BPL means celebration at the ground and one of the busiest times for online betting.
ODI In a 50-over match, betting markets shift at every stage from the pace powerplay to middle-over tactics. The ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are both played in ODI format.
Test In a five-day match, wickets, pitch behaviour and weather all affect the outcome. Beyond the match winner, markets for innings total runs and top wicket-taker are especially popular in Test betting.
Beyond international tournaments, betting markets are also available for club and franchise leagues. Football and other sports are covered in the next section, but cricket remains the first choice for most bettors in Bangladesh — especially when the Tigers are on the field.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Outside cricket, football betting is growing fast in Bangladesh. In football, a draw is a valid result — so the match winner market usually has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so only two options are offered.
In football, half-time/full-time, correct score and goalscorer markets are popular. Cricket offers its own specific markets — wicket partnerships, powerplay total runs, and revised targets under the Duckworth-Lewis method — which have no equivalent in football. Sports like kabaddi and badminton have fewer markets, but match winner and handicap are generally available.

Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
The markets below are the most used in the cricket section at 17 crickex. A simple example is given for each.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. Example: if you pick Team A, your bet wins if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. It is a completely separate market — it has no connection to batting or bowling performance.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match. Separate markets are offered for each team. This is an example of a player performance-based bet.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs will go above or below a set target. Example: total runs over 160 — if the match ends with 161 or more runs, the over bet wins.
Runs Before First Wicket
A bet on the range of runs scored before the first wicket falls. This market depends on how strong the opening partnership is.
Multi Bet / Multiple Selections
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. A big return if all selections win, but the entire bet is lost if any one selection loses. See details on the multi-bet page.
A Simple Guide to the Three Odds Formats
Odds can be written in three different ways. Every format conveys the same information — only the presentation differs. 17 crickex generally uses decimal format, but it helps to recognise the others.
| Format | Odds on Team A winning | Odds on Team B winning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A (underdog): Decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200 — all the same odds. With a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake returned); if Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite): Decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 — the American minus sign shows how much you need to stake to win 100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
In decimal format, higher odds mean the market considers a win less likely. A lower-odds team (favourite) returns less if they win, but is considered more likely to win.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When Wickets Fall
Live in-play is one of the most engaging ways to bet on cricket. Pre-match odds and in-match odds often look very different — the market reassesses after every major event.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen (their chances drop) and the bowling team's odds shorten. A big over during the powerplay causes fast movement in run-rate-based markets. In the final overs of a close match, in-play odds fluctuate the most.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly. Selections must be confirmed before the market closes. Some markets are temporarily suspended when a wicket falls — this is normal.
For those in Dhaka watching BPL matches and betting at the same time, live in-play is the preferred option. There is a chance to analyse the situation after each over and place a new bet.

Some Practical Tips Before You Bet
Cricket betting is for entertainment — these tips help keep the experience a good one.
- Choose markets that match the format. Total runs over/under works well in T20 because run rates are high. Top wicket-taker is more relevant in Tests.
- Read the market rules. Every market has conditions — such as what happens if a match is cancelled due to rain. Check the rules before placing a bet.
- Stick to your budget. Set a separate budget for each match and stay within it. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. Placing bets in a hurry due to fast-moving odds increases the chance of mistakes. Take your time.
- Bet responsibly. Wins and losses both happen in betting. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits.
- Try different markets. Go beyond match winner — explore toss, top batsman or over/under markets as well.
