Cricket Betting at 66zz — Bet on BPL, T20 and International Matches
66zz offers betting on the most popular cricket tournaments at home and abroad. From match winner to live in-play — every moment of betting feels different here.
Cricket's three formats and how they differ for betting
When it comes to cricket betting, T20 is the first format that comes to mind for fans in Bangladesh. Results shift quickly in this short format, so there are more markets. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and the T20 World Cup is the biggest event for cricket fans worldwide.
ODI, or one-day cricket, consists of 50 overs per side. There is more room for momentum to shift over the course of an innings, which makes in-play betting more interesting in this format. Test cricket, on the other hand, is a five-day game of patience — alongside the match winner market, a draw bet is also an option here.
All three formats are available for betting at 66zz. From major ICC tournaments to bilateral series, from BPL to IPL — markets are available across the board. It is worth reading the terms and conditions before placing a bet.
Differences in betting between cricket, football and other sports
Many variables affect the outcome of a cricket match — pitch conditions, weather, the toss, batting order. This complexity means there are more markets. Football typically has three possible outcomes: home win, away win or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so the market is split between the two teams.
In football, over/under on the number of goals is very popular. The equivalent in cricket is over/under on total runs. Points markets in basketball or tennis are more straightforward. Cricket's betting structure is a bit more detailed — so for beginners, it is best to start with one match and get familiar first.

Cricket's 7 popular betting markets
Each market calls for a different approach. Below is a straightforward description of the most commonly used markets and how they work.
Match Winner
Picking which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — you choose Team A. If Team A wins, you win the bet; if they lose, the stake is gone.
Simplest marketToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. It is not directly related to the match result, but many bettors like it based on pitch conditions and weather.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Which batter in a given team will score the most runs in an innings or across the match. Example: betting on the idea that batter X from Team A will be the highest scorer.
Performance marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the combined runs scored by both teams in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: if you think total runs will exceed 320, bet on over.
Result-independentTop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Understanding the pitch conditions and the opposition's batting lineup helps make sense of this market.
Bowling-focusedMulti Bet
Combining bets on multiple matches or markets multiplies the odds. Example: if three separate markets have odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined odds are 4.03 — win all three and a ৳100 stake returns ৳403.
High-risk combinedInnings Run Handicap
A team is given a virtual head start to level the playing field. The stronger team starts with a run deficit — this creates an opportunity for the weaker side. The margin of victory determines who wins the bet.

Odds in three formats — explained with examples
Betting sites show three types of odds: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
| Odds Format | Team A Value | Team B Value |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 (bet on Team A to win, ৳1,000 stake): Decimal odds of 2.50 mean a total return of ৳2,500 if you win — that includes ৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 stake back. If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite Team B, ৳1,000 stake): Decimal odds of 1.25 mean a total return of ৳1,250 — a profit of only ৳250. In American format, -400 means a ৳400 stake is needed to win ৳100 profit.
All three formats show the same risk-reward structure — only the way they are expressed differs. At 66zz, the decimal format is the most familiar, so it is shown as the default.
Odds change when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, every over and every wicket shifts the odds. For example, if Team A loses 2 quick wickets early in their innings, Team A's odds of winning will rise immediately — meaning more potential profit, but also more risk.
In T20, when power hitting starts in the final 5 overs, the situation can change in an instant. In ODI, the rise and fall of the run rate during the powerplay and middle overs carries separate importance. Staying focused during in-play betting is essential — a decision may be needed at a specific moment.
In Test matches, the situation changes slowly over five days. Pitch behaviour, weather or a batting collapse can reshape the live markets in an instant. In-play betting can be particularly effective in this format.

Some useful basics for cricket betting
These are not strategies — just some fundamental points on how to enjoy betting as entertainment.
Choose markets based on the format
High scores are more likely in T20 — over/under markets are interesting here. In Test, the draw option sits alongside the match winner in the market. Understanding the format makes it easier to decide which market to go for.
Set a budget beforehand
Deciding how much you will bet in each session ahead of time makes decision-making easier. During in-play betting, there can be a temptation to increase stakes in exciting moments.
Start with one market
For beginners, the match winner market is the most straightforward. Once you understand it, you can gradually move to top batsman or over/under.
Understanding risk in multi bets is important
In a multi bet, if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Adding more selections increases the odds, but also reduces the chance of all of them being correct.
Betting is entertainment, not income
Use betting to get more out of watching cricket. Chasing losses by increasing stakes is never the answer. Responsible gaming tools are available at 66zz.
