Cricket Betting at xe 66 — Bet on all major matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
xe 66 brings cricket betting across all formats for cricket fans in Bangladesh — from match winner to live in-play. T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own markets, clear odds and easy deposits.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
It is important to understand the format before you start betting — because markets and odds work differently in each format.
T20 — The Fastest Cricket
Just 20 overs of play, so match results can shift quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and T20 World Cup — these three tournaments are the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors. Odds update every over, so live betting is most active here.
ODI — Fifty Overs of Play
In a one-day match, both teams bat for fifty overs. ICC tournaments, World Cup qualifiers and bilateral series — ODI markets offer the widest range of betting options. Top batsman and total runs markets are most popular here.
Test — A Five-Day Contest
In a five-day Test match a draw is a possible result, so there is a three-way market (Team A win, Team B win, draw). The pitch and weather play a big role in the odds. Test betting is slower in pace — each session creates its own betting opportunity.
Cricket fans in Bangladesh follow BPL the most. In addition, betting markets are far more active when Bangladesh Tigers play in ICC international matches. All of these tournaments are available for betting on a single platform at xe 66.
Betting Differences in Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is also popular in Bangladesh — especially during international league seasons and the World Cup. However, cricket and football betting are somewhat different in nature.
In football, the 1-X-2 market (Team A win, draw, Team B win) is the core structure for a 90-minute match. Goals over/under and both teams to score are very common markets in football.
Cricket offers far greater market variety: number of wickets, partnership runs, man of the match — these specialised markets are found in cricket, not football. Football, on the other hand, has a separate half-time result market, which does not exist in cricket.
Live betting is most dynamic in cricket — the character of a match can change with every ball, so odds are almost always moving. In football, odds shift after goals and cards.
xe 66 also offers esports betting — that section has details on virtual sports and gaming tournaments.
7 Popular Markets That Are Used Most
Cricket betting gives you the option to choose from different markets. Below is a simple explanation of seven common markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are only two options (Team A or Team B); in Test there are three (win, draw, loss).
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match — the odds for both teams in this market are usually roughly equal. Pitch conditions and the environment increase the importance of the toss.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team — each batsman in the team has separate odds. A less well-known batsman will have higher odds.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in the match will go above a set number (over) or stay below it (under). The type of pitch and the batting lineup influence this market.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
The results of multiple matches are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return increases — but if one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Top Bowler / Most Wickets
Which bowler will take the most wickets — each bowler has separate odds in this market. The type of pitch matters greatly, with a mix of pace bowlers and spinners to consider.
Betting Exchange — Back and Lay
In regular betting you bet against the site; in an exchange you bet against another bettor. BACK means betting in favour of an outcome, LAY means betting against it.
How to Read Odds and Understand the Three Formats
Odds can look confusing because different regions of the world use different formats. xe 66 shows decimal format as the default, but understanding fractional and American formats is also useful.
All three formats express the same probability in different ways. Reading the two examples below carefully will make the difference clear.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If you win you get ৳450 back (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If you lose you lose ৳200.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
American -400 means you need to stake 400 to make a profit of 100. With a ৳200 stake, if you win you get ৳250 back (৳50 profit).
Decimal is simple: multiply the stake by the odds and you get the total return. In fractional, the fraction represents only the profit, excluding the stake. In American, a positive (+) number indicates the underdog, a negative (-) number indicates the favourite.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
| Return on ৳200 stake | ৳450 | ৳250 |
| Profit | ৳250 | ৳50 |
The figures above are for understanding formats only — not live odds. Actual odds change according to match conditions.
What is RTP? RTP (Return to Player) applies to casino games — in sports betting the site's edge is expressed through the odds margin. You will find slots and live games with RTP in the xe 66 casino section.
Live Betting LIVE — How Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
Live in-play betting is the most fast-moving experience in cricket. You can place bets even after the match has started, and odds are recalculated after every over and wicket.
Say Team A has scored 85 runs in the first 10 overs without losing a wicket — their odds of winning will shorten (meaning they become the favourite) and Team B's odds will lengthen. If two wickets fall in the next over, the odds could swing the other way again.
In the final five overs of a T20 match, the match odds fluctuate the most — this is when the live betting market is at its most active.
- If wickets fall quickly during the powerplay overs (1–6), the batting team's odds rise immediately.
- In the death overs (16–20), swings in the run rate cause large movements in the over/under market.
- During a rain break or a Duckworth-Lewis situation, all live markets are temporarily suspended.
- In live betting decisions need to be made quickly; staying within a set budget matters more than rushing.
Some General Tips for Cricket Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Here are a few practical tips to help keep your betting experience organised.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each month or week, and do not go beyond that limit.
- Understand one market at a time: Start by focusing only on the match winner or toss market; rather than jumping into all markets at once, expand gradually.
- Think by format: A team's recent T20 performance is more relevant than their Test record — judge by the format being played.
- Stay in control with live betting: Odds change fast, which makes it tempting to decide on the spot — stick to the limits you set beforehand.
- Be careful with multi-bets: The potential return may be higher, but so is the risk — consider each selection on its own.
- Responsible betting: Read xe 66's responsible gaming guidelines — they cover how to set your limits and take breaks.
