Cricket's Three Formats and the Tournaments Bangladeshis Follow
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to know the three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has a different pace and style of play, so the betting markets and odds behave differently too.
T20: The fastest format — 20 overs per side, with results that can change quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The ICC T20 World Cup comes around every two years and typically sees a notable rise in betting interest.
ODI: In a 50-over match, the balance between batting and bowling strategy matters more. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in ODI format, and whenever the Bangladesh Tigers are on the field, the entire country takes notice.
Test: In this five-day format, many factors shape the result — pitch conditions, weather and the patience of the players. A draw is a valid outcome, so Test cricket has three possible market results: Team A wins, Team B wins or Draw.
Football betting markets are also available at royal ebd. Cricket markets are mainly based on runs and wickets, while football markets focus on goals and match results — the betting logic for each sport is different.

Popular Cricket Betting Markets — How Each One Works
royal ebd offers several types of betting markets for a single cricket match. Below are seven main markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. T20 and ODI have two options; Test has three. Example: Team A vs Team B — pick the side you think is more likely to win.
All FormatsToss Winner
Which team will win the toss — the outcome is entirely down to chance and is settled before the match begins. Example: Team A or Team B — the odds on both options are usually close to each other.
Pre-MatchTop Run Scorer
Pick which batter from either side will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This market offers multiple options and generally comes with higher odds.
Specialist MarketTotal Runs Over / Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set run line. Example: Will Team A score more than 160 runs in their innings? If you think yes, choose Over; if not, choose Under.
T20 and ODIMethod of First Wicket
How the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, LBW or another method. Odds are generally higher on this market because predicting the exact method is difficult.
High OddsMulti Bet
Combine bets from multiple matches or markets into one. If all selections are correct, you receive a return based on the combined odds. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so choose your selections carefully.
Multiple MatchesHandicap and Winner Margin
In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a head start in runs or wickets. In a winner margin market, you predict the margin of victory. Both markets are best described in terms of runs or wickets rather than specific staked amounts.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — Three Ways to Write Them
Before you start cricket betting, it is worth knowing how to read odds. The same probability can be written in three different formats. royal ebd typically displays decimal odds, though all three formats are in use.
Below are two worked examples — Team A and Team B, two sides in the same match.
| Item | Team A (Example 1) | Team B (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal Odds | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional Odds | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American Odds | +125 | -125 |
| Stake | ৳500 | ৳500 |
| Total Return (if win) | ৳1,125 | ৳900 |
| Profit (if win) | ৳625 | ৳400 |
| If lost | ৳500 lost | ৳500 lost |
Example 1 — Outsider (Team A)
Team A's odds are 2.25 in decimal. That is 5/4 in fractional and +125 in American. A ৳500 bet on Team A winning returns ৳1,125 (৳625 profit plus the original ৳500 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳500. American plus odds (+125) mean a ৳100 bet returns ৳125 profit.
Example 2 — Favourite (Team B)
Team B is the favourite at odds of 1.80. That is 4/5 in fractional and -125 in American. Minus odds (-125) mean you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳500 bet on Team B winning returns a total of ৳900 (৳400 profit). If Team B loses, you lose ৳500.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change on Every Ball
LIVEIn-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. This works particularly well in cricket because every wicket, every boundary and the end of every over can shift the situation — and the odds along with it.
Say Team A is chasing and looking comfortable after 10 overs without losing a wicket — Team A's odds will shorten, meaning the platform sees them as more likely to win. If two quick wickets then fall, the odds will lengthen again. That constant movement is what makes live betting engaging.
Odds shift fastest in T20 because every ball matters. In ODI, changes come more gradually. In Test cricket, odds tend to be relatively stable over by over, but a big wicket can move them quickly.
Stay focused during live betting. Follow the match's momentum and keep within your set budget rather than chasing. Betting is meant to be enjoyable — keeping that in mind will make the experience better.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. The tips below will help keep the experience more structured.
- Stick to a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or each match. If you go over your budget, take a break.
- Build knowledge in one market: Rather than spreading across all markets at once, start by focusing on simpler markets like match winner or total runs.
- Understand the format: Odds and outcomes behave differently across T20 and Test cricket even for the same market. Betting on the format you watch most makes it easier to follow.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combined odds can look attractive, but a single wrong selection loses the whole bet. Keeping the number of selections low makes a multi bet more manageable.
- Keep a clear head in live betting: Rather than placing a bet in the heat of the moment, take a moment to think — odds can change within a minute.
- Treat betting as entertainment: Betting adds to the enjoyment of watching cricket — thinking of it as an income source leads to disappointment.
How Combined Odds Work in a Multi Bet
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together to get the combined odds. Take three selections as an example — decimal odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 respectively. Multiplied together:
1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximately)
A ৳100 bet returns ৳517 if all selections are correct. But if even one of the three is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
It is important to understand that even though the combined odds are higher, the chance of each individual selection being correct compounds separately. The more selections you add to a multi bet, the lower the overall chance of all of them coming in together.
