Cricket Betting at crickex backup — bet on all formats from T20 to Test
crickex backup brings Bangladeshi cricket fans a wide range of betting markets — from match winner to live in-play across BPL, IPL and international tournaments. Easy to understand, works on mobile.
The three formats of cricket and favourite competitions
Before placing a cricket bet, it helps to understand the format, because odds and markets work differently in each one. T20 is the fastest — just twenty overs, and the match can turn on any single ball. In this format, bookmaker odds change from moment to moment, and live betting is most effective here.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is a fifty-over game where a team's batting depth and middle-over tactics influence the odds. Early wickets or a falling run rate can cause a big shift in a team's odds. Test matches last five days — here pitch behaviour, weather and innings-by-innings performance play a much bigger role. A draw is a valid result in Test cricket, so there are three separate odds for three possible outcomes.
The competition most familiar to Bangladeshi fans is the BPL, where domestic franchises face each other. IPL matches also attract a lot of interest — high scores, last-over drama and quick wickets keep the markets active in this league. In the ICC T20 World Cup and other international series, Bangladesh Tigers matches are of particular interest to Bangladeshi bettors.
Football and other sports markets
Alongside cricket, crickex backup also offers football betting. Football betting differs from cricket — matches last just ninety minutes, and goals are far less frequent but have a big impact on odds. A draw is a common outcome, so there are usually three separate markets: home win, away win and draw.
In cricket, a wicket or a big six shifts odds immediately; in football, a goal or red card does the same. Betting is also available on tennis, basketball and e-sports, but cricket remains the most popular market among Bangladeshi bettors.

Popular betting markets and examples
crickex backup offers several markets for cricket betting. Below are the most commonly used markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. In a T20, you bet on either Team A or Team B, and if your chosen team wins, the bet pays out.
T20 / ODI / TestToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely independent event and has no direct connection to the match result.
All formatsTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for a specific team. Example: you can pick any one of three batsmen from Team A's lineup and place your bet.
ODI / T20Total Runs Over / Under
Whether the total runs scored in a full innings or over a set number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a specified number — this market involves analysing the team's run-scoring pattern.
T20 / ODITop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The choice between a pace bowler and a spinner can shift depending on the nature of the pitch.
All formatsMulti Bet (multiple selections)
Combining the results of multiple matches into a single combo bet. If all selections are correct, the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple matchesMulti bet example
If you select three separate matches at decimal odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively, the combined odds are 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). A ৳100 bet would return ৳581 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds on a betting platform can be displayed in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability in different ways.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win (৳1,000):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If this bet wins, the total return is ৳2,250 (profit of ৳1,250 + original stake of ৳1,000). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B as favourite (৳1,000):
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet here, the total return is ৳1,250 (profit of only ৳250, because Team B is more likely to win and so the odds are lower).
Most Bangladeshi bettors find the decimal format easier, because multiplying the stake by the odds gives the total return directly.
Live betting — odds shift as the match turns
Live betting lets you place bets in real time on a match already in progress. In cricket, when a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately and the bowling team's odds come down. A big six or a quick fifty can reverse the situation.
If three wickets fall in the powerplay, the expected total for the innings drops, and that is reflected straight away in the over/under market odds. Similarly in Test cricket, when the chasing team faces a difficult pitch on the final day, the odds shift with every over.
To take part in live betting, you need an active account with a balance. Go to the crickex backup Login page, sign in to your account and check the live matches in the sports section.
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately
- The required run rate in the last five overs affects the market
- If the outcome changes after a review or DRS decision, the market is updated
- Some markets close before certain events take place
Live betting situation example
Say Team A is 65/3 after the first 10 overs — their odds were 1.80 at the first wicket, but after the third wicket fell they have risen to 2.30.
In the same way, if Team B's bowling does not yield boundaries in the next over, the bowling team's odds could drop from 1.70 to 1.55. In live betting, every ball creates a new moment.
The figures above are for illustration only — actual odds vary from match to match.
A few things to know before you start betting
- Start with one format. T20 is easier to follow — focus on this format when you are starting out.
- Set a budget. Betting is for entertainment — it is wise not to spend more than a set amount.
- Understand one market well. Start with match winner, then gradually move on to top batsman or multi bets.
- Do not rush in live betting. Odds change fast, so it is better not to place large bets on impulse.
- Do not increase your stake after a loss. Trying to recover losses with the next bet leads to greater losses.
- Follow responsible gaming practices. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to learn more.
