Cricket Betting at criex — Bet on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
criex's sports betting section is here to make every moment of cricket more engaging. From match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play — there are various markets to bet on.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
The twenty-over T20 format is the most familiar to cricket fans. Every ball can change the outcome — which is why it also has the most active betting markets. BPL and IPL are the two biggest tournaments in this format, with Bangladesh's teams taking part.
Fast-paced BPL · IPLThe fifty-over ODI format blends strategy and patience. Most ICC World Cup and bilateral series matches are played in this format. The Bangladesh Tigers have established themselves in ODI cricket over the past decade.
Strategic World CupThe five-day format is the longest form of cricket. Session-based odds shifts, wickets and weather all combine to make Test betting a different kind of experience. That said, T20 and ODI remain more popular with Bangladeshi fans.

BPL, IPL and International Matches
BPL is held every winter and is Bangladesh's biggest franchise tournament. IPL brings together the best players from the subcontinent, keeping its betting market active as well. International tournaments like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy are also available for betting on criex.
Alongside cricket, criex also offers football and a few other sports markets. In football, a draw is a possible result, so there are three main markets — home win, draw, away win — whereas in limited-overs cricket a draw is generally not possible.
Popular Betting Markets
Several markets are open at the same time for a single match. Below are the most commonly used ones.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. Since T20 and ODI have no draw, there are only two options. Example: if you pick Team A and Team A wins, you get a payout; if they don't, you lose your stake.
Most commonToss Betting
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is effectively a fifty-fifty market. Example: if you pick Team B to win the toss and they do, you get a payout.
Short-termTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. The batting order and pitch conditions are factors to consider when making a decision in this market.
Performance betTotal Runs (Over/Under)
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or a full match will be over or under a set number. Pitch and weather conditions play an important role here.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Combining multiple selections increases the combined odds, but every selection must win. Example: picking three teams across three separate matches multiplies the odds together — if one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Combined betBetting Exchange
On an exchange, you don't just place bets — you can also offer odds against other bettors by laying. This differs from a traditional bookmaker because you can take either role.
BACK and LAYA Simple Way to Understand Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three say the same thing, just expressed differently.
Three ways to show the same price
Say Team A has decimal odds of 3.00. In fractional format that is 2/1, and in American format it is written as +200. All three mean the same thing: a ৳1,000 stake on Team A returns ৳3,000 in total if they win (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake back); if Team A loses, the ৳1,000 stake is gone.
| Format | Team A (higher chance of winning) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 |
| American | +200 | −200 |
Favourite's Odds
If Team B is the favourite and their decimal odds are 1.50, a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 if Team B wins (৳500 profit). In American format this is −200 — meaning you would need to stake ৳100 to win ৳200 in that notation.
Remember — lower odds mean lower risk, but also a lower return. Betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed source of profit.
Cricket Match Winner Example
In a limited-overs match, Team A has odds of 1.80 and Team B has odds of 2.00. A ৳1,000 stake on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins (৳1,000 profit); if Team A wins, the ৳1,000 stake is lost.
These examples are only to explain how odds work — they are not live odds or any promise of winnings.
Live In-Play Betting
While a match is in progress, odds shift with every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up; when runs come quickly in the powerplay, the bowling team's odds shorten. These changes are the main draw of in-play betting.
Live markets typically include: runs in the next over, how the next wicket will fall, and the runs in the current partnership. On criex, live status updates and odds are shown together, which helps when making decisions.
It is worth keeping in mind — in-play betting is a fast-decision environment. Take your time and stay within your budget. Learn more about responsible gaming guidelines.
Useful Tips for Beginners
-
Set a budget first. Decide how much you want to set aside for entertainment each month or week. Sticking to a set limit keeps betting enjoyable.
-
Start with one market. The match winner market is the simplest. Get comfortable with it first, then move on to other markets.
-
Compare odds. Look at the odds across different markets for the same match — figure out which ones align with your analysis.
-
No rushing in live betting. Because odds change quickly, there is a temptation to make snap decisions. Take your time and place bets according to a plan.
-
Be careful with multi bets. The combined odds are higher, but so is the risk. One wrong selection loses everything — so keep the number of selections low in a multi bet.
-
Betting is for entertainment. Enjoy cricket, and let betting be part of that enjoyment — not a primary source of income.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, criex also has football betting. In football, odds cover three outcomes — home win, draw and away win — compared to just two in T20 cricket. Markets for goal scorers, cards and corners are also available.

Deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay or bank transfer — minimum ৳300. Withdrawals are generally processed within 1 hour.
How Odds Multiply in a Multi Bet
Combining three selections multiplies the odds together. Example: decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 — multiplied gives 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all selections win; if any one of them loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
The advantage of a multi bet is a higher potential return from a smaller stake. But the risk is also higher — the more selections you add, the greater the risk.
