Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
For cricket fans and bettors in Bangladesh, the three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each bring their own feel and different betting opportunities. All three formats are available to bet on at ek333, and the types of markets available vary somewhat between them.
The fastest format
In a 20-over match, results can shift quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, making T20 the most popular among Bangladeshi bettors. Run rates move fast in T20, which means in-play markets offer more variety.
BPL · IPL · T20 World CupThe fifty-over contest
Strategy matters more in the 50-over format. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format and Bangladesh Tigers regularly perform well here. Top batsman and top bowler markets are especially popular in ODI.
ICC World Cup · Bilateral SeriesThe classic long format
In a five-day Test match, three results are possible including a draw, so the odds structure differs from ODI or T20. Session-based markets, first innings lead, and top innings run-scorer markets are available here.
ICC World Test Championship
BPL, IPL and international series
Bangladesh's own BPL tournament holds a special draw for local bettors — familiar teams, familiar faces, and local rivalries make every match feel different. The IPL brings together top cricketers from across the subcontinent, which is why its betting markets are far more varied.
Bangladesh Tigers matches in international series are available at ek333, and special markets open during the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy. For information about football and other sports betting, see the section below.
Football and other sports betting — how it differs from cricket
Football betting
Football typically has three possible outcomes — team A wins, a draw, or team B wins. This means odds are structured somewhat differently compared to cricket. Goals over/under, half-time result, and first goalscorer markets are quite popular in football. Among Bangladeshi bettors, interest is highest in English Premier League and UEFA matches.
EPL · UEFA · FIFA World CupCricket vs football betting
Cricket has far more in-match events (wickets, overs, partnerships), so in-play betting options are naturally more detailed. In football, momentum shifts over time and a single goal can change the entire odds picture. Understanding the markets in both sports makes for more informed betting.
Sports analysisBeyond cricket and football, ek333 also offers betting on badminton, table tennis and esports. Each sport has its own markets and odds structure, and learning them enriches the betting experience. Those interested in casino games can also explore ek333 Casino's live casino and slots collection.
Cricket's 7 popular betting markets
Each market answers a specific question — from which team will win to how many runs will be scored.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick whether team A or team B will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so only two options are available. Example: bet ৳500 on team A, and if team A wins you receive a return based on the stated odds.
Most popularToss betting
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — that is the only question this market asks. There are two outcomes and the odds are generally close to each other. Example: if you think team B will win the toss, you can bet on that option.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a specific team — that is what this market covers. Multiple options are available so you can pick your preferred batsman. Example: choose your preferred player in team A's top scorer market and place your bet.
Player marketTotal Runs Over/Under
This market is about whether total runs in a match will go above or below a set line. Pitch conditions, the surface, and weather are all relevant here. Example: choose over or under on a total runs line of 165.5.
Runs marketMulti Bet
Adding multiple selections from multiple matches together creates combined odds. Example: if three matches have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = roughly 4.08; a winning ৳100 bet returns ৳408. However, if one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Higher return, higher riskFirst Wicket Method
How the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, or LBW — that is what this market covers. It is a market unique to cricket and does not exist in football. Example: bet that the first wicket will fall caught.
Cricket-exclusiveInnings Over/Under
Whether the runs in a single innings will go above or below a set line — this market can remain open even mid-match. Special variants are available for the powerplay and death overs. Example: whether team A's innings total will go above 145.5.
Suitable for in-playHow to read odds — three formats
There are three ways odds are written — decimal, fractional and American. ek333 generally displays decimal odds, but understanding all three helps on any platform.
| Format | Team A wins (example) | Team B wins (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | The odds number directly shows the total return including the stake. ৳1,000 bet × 3.00 = ৳3,000 total return. |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | The numerator is profit, the denominator is the stake. 2/1 means ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake = ৳3,000. |
| American | +200 | -400 | A plus sign shows profit on a ৳100 bet. A minus sign shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. +200: ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,000 profit. -400: ৳400 bet returns ৳100 profit. |
Example 1 — Team A wins (underdog)
Choosing team A, the odds are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional, and +200 in American — all three mean the same outcome. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 total if team A wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B wins (favourite)
As the favourite, team B has lower odds — 1.25 in decimal, 1/4 in fractional, -400 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 total if team B wins (৳250 profit). American -400 means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — and in cricket this is particularly useful because the picture can change after every wicket and every over. If a team that looked strong early on loses wickets in quick succession, their odds rise quickly while the opposing team's odds shorten.
For example — in T20, if team A is 60/0 at the end of the powerplay, they become the in-play favourite and their odds may drop to around 1.30. But if two wickets fall in the next two overs, those odds may climb back above 1.60.
During live betting at ek333, odds keep refreshing. You can bet between balls or overs, though markets may temporarily close. In-play betting works best when you are watching the match closely and can make quick decisions.
If a cash-out option is available, you can close a bet while in profit — securing a confirmed return before the match ends. This feature depends on the match type and the market.

A few practical tips for responsible betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a guaranteed source of income. Keeping the following points in mind leads to a more aware experience.
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Not going beyond your set budget is the most important habit to build.
Focus on one market
Starting with match winner or total runs — focusing on one market is better. Spreading across too many markets at once makes decisions harder.
Keep stakes small on multi bets
Combined odds on a multi bet may look attractive, but the risk is higher — because one losing selection ends the entire bet. Small stakes are the sensible choice here.
Stay calm during in-play
Live betting calls for quick decisions, but placing bets repeatedly on impulse is not a good idea. Wait for a specific event (such as after a wicket) before acting.
Taking breaks is good
Betting for long stretches reduces focus. Taking breaks from time to time keeps decision-making sharper. Reading ek333's responsible gaming guidelines can be useful for everyone.
Don't chase losses
Placing a large bet to recover from a loss in one match is not a sound strategy. Treat each match separately.
