Cricket Betting at zz66 — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on various markets across T20, ODI and Test cricket. From live in-play betting to match winner, toss and top batsman — all in one place.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Tournaments Popular with Bangladeshis
Cricket is divided into three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Betting works differently in each format because the match length, momentum and nature of results vary.
T20 is the shortest format — just 20 overs. Results can swing quickly and every ball matters. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup is a bigger stage where the best teams in the world face each other.
ODI is a 50-over game — somewhat longer with greater tactical depth. The middle overs can shift the momentum of a match, which makes it interesting for live betting. Test cricket is the longest format, played over five days — a draw is also a valid result here, so the betting markets are different.
At zz66, you can bet on various markets across all three formats in international matches as well as BPL and IPL. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a regular habit — that is the right mindset to bring to it.

Popular Betting Markets — How to Bet on Each
Cricket betting offers many types of markets. Each market has its own characteristics — some are straightforward, others are a bit more complex but interesting.
Pick which of the two teams will win — that is all. T20 and ODI have two outcomes (Team A or Team B), Test has three (win, loss, draw). For example, Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A will win, bet on Team A.
This bet is only on the outcome of the toss — it has nothing to do with the match result. Winning or losing the toss is a completely separate betting market, settled before the match begins.
Bet on which player within a team will score the most runs. This market is more common in ODI and Test matches. For example, which player from Team A will score the highest runs.
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number — that is the over/under market. For example: over or under 160 total runs in the first innings. Consider pitch conditions and team strength before placing your bet.
Add several markets together into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win. For example, picking the winner of three matches in one bet multiplies the odds — a multi bet offers higher returns but also higher risk.
Bet on a specific over segment rather than the full match — for example, how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (powerplay). This market is very popular in T20 because the opening overs set the tone of the match.
How to Read Odds — A Simple Guide to Three Formats
Odds in betting are shown in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are displayed differs.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Odds for Team B to Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog): A ৳500 bet at decimal odds of 2.50 gives a total return of ৳1,250 — that is ৳750 profit plus the original ৳500 stake back. If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite): Decimal 1.50, American -200 means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet, a win gives a total return of ৳750 — ৳250 profit.
In American format, a (+) sign means profit on a ৳100 bet, and a (-) sign means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change While the Match is On
You can place bets even after a match has started — that is live in-play betting. At zz66, odds change in real time during the match. A wicket, a big six or a run of dot balls — every event reshapes the odds.
In a T20 match, if the batting team needs 60 runs in the last 5 overs, their odds rise because the situation is difficult. Then if two sixes are hit in a row, the odds come down quickly.
Live betting requires fast decisions, so knowing the markets beforehand is helpful. You can bet live from anywhere through the mobile app or the zz66 App.
When a Wicket Falls
When the batting team loses a wicket, their odds of winning rise — especially if a key batsman is dismissed, the shift is larger.
Run Rate Change
As the required run rate climbs, the batting team's odds gradually rise. The fielding team's odds fall.
Pitch and Conditions
Dew or extra bounce on the pitch shifts the advantage between batting and bowling, and that is reflected in the live odds.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports Betting
At zz66 you can bet on football and other sports, not just cricket. Football is growing in popularity in Bangladesh — there is a solid fanbase for the UEFA Champions League, FIFA World Cup and European club football.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is the number of possible results. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw — two outcomes. Test has three. Football also has three outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, draw), but draws are comparatively more likely, so the odds for the favourite are structured differently.
Handicap betting and corner/card markets are popular in football but do not exist in cricket. Cricket has wicket, run-rate and partnership-based markets, which are absent in football. Understanding each sport's own market structure makes betting more enjoyable.
Football
Three outcomes (win/loss/draw), handicap, goals over-under and corner markets.
Cricket
Two outcomes in T20/ODI, three in Test. Wicket, run-rate and innings markets.
Multi Bet Option
Cricket and football selections can be combined in the same multi bet, but every selection must win.
Some Useful Tips for Enjoying Betting
Start with One Market
Begin with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Betting on too many markets at once can get confusing.
Set a Budget First
Decide in advance how much you will bet. Reading about responsible gaming makes it easier to set your own limits.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Even though multi bets offer higher odds, losing a single selection means the whole bet is lost. Keep multi bets for entertainment, not as your main approach.
Understand the Format Before Betting
The same team can have different odds in T20 and Test. Each format brings out different strengths and weaknesses.
Be Patient with Live Betting
Live betting can feel rushed. Knowing the markets in advance helps.
A Multi Bet Example
How odds work when three selections are combined in a multi bet:
1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections win, the return is ৳336. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.

Betting Exchange — How It Differs from a Standard Sportsbook
In a betting exchange, players bet against each other — not against the bookmaker. There are two roles: BACK (betting on an outcome to happen) and LAY (betting against an outcome happening).
BACK Bet Example
You BACK Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 with ৳1,000. If Team A wins, you make ৳800 profit before commission. If they do not win, you lose ৳1,000.
LAY Bet Example
If you LAY ৳1,000 of a backer's bet at odds of 1.80, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80). If Team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000 before commission. If they win, you pay ৳800.
Odds on an exchange can generally be better than those at a sportsbook, but a commission applies. Read the terms and conditions for full rules.
