cv666 Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test
From BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup to bilateral series — cv666 gives you the chance to bet across various markets on every major cricket match. Before the match starts or while it is live — play in your preferred format at any time.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
The appeal of cricket betting lies in its three distinct formats — each with its own style of wagering, its own pace, and its own kind of fun.
T20 — Fast and Intense
T20 is the most popular format for cricket betting. The match is over in just 20 overs, so every ball counts. Markets change quickly, and this format is the most lively for live betting. BPL and IPL are the most talked-about among Bangladeshi viewers and bettors.
ODI — A Game of Strategy
A 50-over one-day match plays out over a longer stretch. Here, partnerships, run rate and mid-innings wicket falls can all change the outcome of a bet. ODI betting is especially popular during the ICC World Cup and bilateral series.
Test — A Test of Patience
A five-day Test match offers the widest variety of betting markets. You can bet on markets like series winner, innings total runs, and who takes the first wicket. When the Tigers play Test cricket, interest among Bangladeshi bettors runs high.
cv666's cv666 Bet section offers markets for BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, and other international cricket matches. Each tournament has its own separate markets — so there is always something new to try each time.
Football and Other Sports — Alongside Cricket
Alongside cricket, cv666 also lets you bet on football and other sports. However, the betting experience differs between cricket and football.
In football a draw is a separate result — so every match has three possible outcomes. In cricket (in limited-overs matches) there is generally no draw, so you only choose between two results. In football, total goals, handicap and half-time/full-time markets are very common. In cricket, over/under runs, toss and player performance markets are more widely available.
If you are interested in table games alongside football, the cv666 Casino section has live casino and card games.
Cricket's 7 Popular Betting Markets
Every match offers the chance to bet across different markets — some based purely on win or loss, others on specific performances. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
EasiestPick which of the two teams will win. Example: if you think Team A will win, bet on Team A; if Team A wins at the end of the match, your bet pays out.
Toss Winner
Short-termBet only on which team will win the toss before the match. Cricket knowledge matters little here; it is essentially a bet on chance.
Top Batsman
Performance BetBet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Pick the batter you think will score highest within Team A and bet on that outcome.
Total Runs Over/Under
Line BetChoose whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set line. Example: bet on whether the total runs in 20 overs will be more or less than 160.
Multi Bet
Multiple BetsCombine the results of several matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return is much larger — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
When Will the First Wicket Fall
Specialty MarketBet on which over or within how many runs the first wicket will fall. In T20 matches this market is especially popular during the powerplay.
Handicap Betting
If one team is weaker, they are given a run or wicket advantage to level the market. Example: if Team A is given a 10-run handicap, 10 runs are added to their final score when settling the result. This keeps the bet interesting even in lopsided matches.
A Simple Way to Understand Odds — Three Formats
Betting sites display odds in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs. The two examples below will help make the difference clear.
Team A to win — the same value in all three formats: Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳600 on a win (৳400 profit + original ৳200 stake); if you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Team B to win (favourite): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125. American minus odds indicate how much stake is needed to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 on a win (৳160 profit).
A Brief Comparison of the Three Formats
- Decimal: The simplest. Shows total return including profit and stake. Common in Europe and Asia.
- Fractional: Shows profit only. Comes from British tradition — 2/1 means stake 1 to profit 2.
- American: Plus means underdog, minus means favourite. Calculated on a base of 100.
Most cricket markets on cv666 are shown in decimal format — the easiest to follow for new bettors.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On LIVE
Once a match starts, the betting does not stop — cv666's live in-play betting lets you join various markets while the match is in progress.
Live betting in cricket is particularly engaging because every wicket or big six can shift the odds in an instant. For example, if Team A loses two wickets in the very first over, their odds of winning lengthen and Team B's odds shorten. The ability to read the situation as the match unfolds and bet accordingly is what sets live betting apart.
In T20 matches, odds move quickly during the powerplay, middle overs and death overs. In ODI or Test, the movement is a little slower, but fresh calculations appear in the odds at the end of each session.
- Live odds update every ball or over, so stay focused.
- When a wicket falls or a big shot is played, market prices change immediately.
- Live betting is straightforward on the mobile app — the cv666 Android and iOS apps are available through official channels.
A Few Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget first. Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or per match. Betting is for entertainment — not as an alternative source of income.
- Understand the format before betting. T20 and Test have different pace and markets. For new bettors, the T20 match winner market is the easiest place to start.
- Compare odds. Understand the odds for a given market — in decimal format, the higher the number, the greater the potential return, but also the lower the chance of winning.
- Be careful with multi bets. Adding more selections increases the potential profit, but if any one of them loses the entire bet is gone. Start by practising with fewer selections.
- Play responsibly. Avoid the urge to place larger bets to recover losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Know the rules. Have a clear understanding of the betting terms and conditions, bonus wagering requirements and withdrawal rules. Full details are on the terms and conditions page.
