Cricket Betting at 66zz — from Tigers matches to the global stage
The excitement of BPL, the variety of IPL, or every over of the T20 World Cup — at 66zz you can bet on every moment of cricket. Join pre-match and live markets while the game is in progress.
Three cricket formats and popular competitions
Understanding formats is important for cricket betting, because each format has its own pace and strategy.
T20 is the fastest format — the match is done in just 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are both played in this format. The match can change with every ball, so betting markets in T20 shift quickly.
ODI, or One Day International, gives each team 50 overs. Strategic batting and bowling plans carry more weight here. ICC tournaments, bilateral series and the World Cup all use this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A batsman's patience, a bowler's intelligence and fielding all come together as a full test of a team. Because a draw is possible in Tests, the betting markets are different too.
Cricket fans in Bangladesh follow the Tigers' matches as well as BPL and IPL. All three formats have betting markets available at 66zz.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Beyond cricket, 66zz also offers betting on football and other sports. A football match lasts just 90 minutes, so markets close quickly. Since a draw is also a valid result, bettors generally have three options — home team wins, away team wins, or draw.
In cricket (especially T20 and ODI), a draw is not usually possible, so it is a straight contest between two teams. In Test matches a draw is possible, making three outcomes available. It is worth understanding the format before placing a bet.
Betting markets are also available for sports like Kabaddi, volleyball and tennis, though the number of markets is lower compared to cricket and football. It is wise to understand the rules of each sport before betting.
The full list of sports betting options and more details are available at 66zz Bet.
Cricket vs Football — a quick comparison
- Cricket T20/ODI — typically two outcomes (no draw)

- In football, odds change as soon as a goal is scored
7 popular betting markets with examples
In cricket you can bet on much more than just the match winner. Here is a brief overview of the most familiar markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A or Team B — if the team you pick wins, your bet is successful.
SimplestToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. This has no relation to match performance — only the toss result matters.
Standalone MarketTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. You can also choose from within a specific team.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the combined runs of both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: will total runs exceed 315?
Total MarketTop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. The roles of fast bowlers and spinners are considered based on pitch and weather conditions.
Player MarketMulti Bet
Multiple selections combined into one bet — if all selections are correct the return is large, but if any one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MarketsHandicap and First Innings Lead
In a handicap market, a weaker team is given a head start or a stronger team is set back to balance the market. The "first innings lead" market in Test matches is about which team scores more runs in the first innings. In handicap markets, only the outcome matters — no specific stake or return figure is used.
Advanced MarketDecimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
Odds are a way of understanding the potential return on a bet. The same information is shown in three different formats, but all three represent the same outcome.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500:
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If Team A wins, total return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake); if Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Decimal odds are the easiest — simply multiply by your stake to get the total return. Fractional odds show the profit only, not the total return. In American format, "+" means profit on a ৳100 bet, and "−" means the amount you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, stake ৳500:
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400.
If Team B wins, return is ৳625 (৳125 profit). American −400 means a ৳400 stake returns ৳100 profit.
Because a favourite has lower odds, the return is smaller, but the probability of winning is considered higher. An underdog has higher odds and a bigger potential return. Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines.
Odds shift every time a wicket falls — in-play betting
Betting after a match has started is called live or in-play betting. In cricket the situation changes with every ball, so odds update accordingly.
The batting team's position worsens, their odds of winning lengthen, and the bowling team's odds shorten.
Once the first 6 overs are done, the target is reassessed based on the scorecard and in-play markets are refreshed.
If the run rate rises or falls in the death overs, odds change quickly.
If the target changes under the D/L method, many markets may be temporarily suspended.
Live betting requires quick decisions because odds are changing every moment. It helps to watch the match closely and decide in advance which market you are interested in.
Treat betting as entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning anywhere. Keep your budget in mind and avoid rushing to place more and more bets in live markets.

Some useful habits for cricket betting
- Know the format: T20 and Test betting markets are different — understand the format before choosing a market.
- Pitch and weather: On a spin-friendly pitch, a spinner is more likely to take wickets — useful for the top bowler market.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will stake before each bet and stick to it.
- Be careful with multi bets: The return may be large but getting all selections right is difficult — if you do a multi bet, keep the number of selections low.
- Patience in live markets: Do not rush in live betting — wait for the right moment.
- Entertainment first: Betting is for enjoyment — not to recover losses. Avoid the urge to bet more after a loss.

How a multi bet works with three selections
With a multi bet or accumulator you can bet on several matches at once. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, resulting in a much larger combined odds figure.
Example — three selections:
Selection 1 odds: 1.40 | Selection 2 odds: 1.50 | Selection 3 odds: 1.80
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximate)
A ৳100 stake returns ৳378 if all three selections are correct — if any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets offer the chance of an attractive return, but the risk is also higher. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Think carefully before adding more selections.
