Cricket Betting at cb666 — Best Betting Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
cb666 offers cricket fans in Bangladesh a wide range of betting markets covering BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket. From match winner to live in-play — every match brings new possibilities.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The main appeal of cricket betting lies in its different formats. T20 cricket is the fastest — 20 overs of high-intensity play means betting markets shift quickly. BPL and IPL are the most popular competitions in this format, and every Bangladesh Tigers match in the T20 World Cup carries special significance for millions of fans.
ODI cricket sees the pace of play change over a long period, from the powerplay overs to the big finish, creating new markets throughout for live betting. Test cricket, on the other hand, is a five-day contest — a draw is a valid result here, so odds are divided across three possible outcomes.
At cb666, beyond international series, there are opportunities to bet on ICC events and various domestic T20 leagues. Betting is not limited to the match result — each innings and each over can generate its own market.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
Football betting is also very popular at cb666 alongside cricket. In football, a draw is a common result, so every match has three odds — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins. Unlike T20 cricket where there is no draw, the possibility of a draw in football changes the betting equation.
Football offers a wide range of markets such as half-time result, goalscorer and corner kicks — quite different from cricket markets like wickets or run rate. In cricket, a batsman's form or the pitch behaviour at any moment can shift the odds, while in football a single goal can change the course of the game.
Not just sports betting — at cb666 you can also enjoy live table games at the virtual casino, where you can play Baccarat or Roulette with a real dealer.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
cb666 offers various types of markets for cricket betting. Below is a brief explanation of seven main markets and how they work.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win? In T20 and ODI there are two odds (no draw); in Test there are three. Example: choose between Team A or Team B and place your bet.
Simple BetToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Two equally likely outcomes — so odds are generally close to even.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. With multiple options available, the odds vary accordingly.
Performance MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Pitch conditions and weather are important factors here.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combining predictions from multiple matches creates a multi bet. Odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 across three events give combined odds of 4.59; a ৳100 bet returns ৳459. However, if even one selection fails, the entire bet is lost.
High ReturnRuns in Specific Overs
Predict whether the runs scored in the powerplay or the final five overs will be above or below a set number. This market is particularly popular in in-play betting.
Live MarketHandicap Betting
One team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to even out the difference in strength between the two sides. Example: if Team A is given a −15 run handicap, they must win by more than 15 runs for the bet to succeed.
Margin MarketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 (Team A, ৳200 bet): Decimal odds of 2.25 mean you get ৳2.25 back for every ৳1 bet. A ৳200 bet returns ৳450 in total — that is ৳250 profit plus your original ৳200 back. If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B, favourite): Decimal odds of 1.80 mean a ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit). In American format, −125 means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit.
Decimal format is the easiest to understand — which is why it is generally shown as the default on cb666.
Quick Calculation Guide
Odds Shift with Every Wicket — How Live Betting Moves
In-play betting adds a new dimension to cricket. Every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over changes the odds while the game is in progress. If the batting side scores quickly in the powerplay, the bowling side's odds may increase — because the pressure of defending a high score grows.
For example: if Team A reaches 85 runs without loss in the first 10 overs, defending that becomes harder for Team B, so Team A's odds of winning shorten. On the other hand, two quick wickets improve the bowling side's chances and their odds shorten accordingly.
To get the most out of these fast-moving markets, the cb666 app lets you follow live scores and odds together on mobile.

Five Useful Habits for Betting
Decide how much you will bet before each session. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
Start by focusing on straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Betting across many markets at once increases your risk.
T20, ODI and Test each require a different approach. It is best not to compare odds for the same market across two different formats.
Odds change fast in in-play markets. Take time to read the situation before making a decision rather than rushing.
Immediately increasing your stake to recover lost money does not produce good results. Betting is for entertainment — it should not be seen as a source of income.

Open a new account at cb666 and get a 150% bonus on your first deposit, up to ৳20,000 (bonus amount requires 10x wagering). Minimum deposit is just ৳200 — via bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay.

Betting Exchange — Back and Lay Betting
In regular betting you bet against the platform. In a betting exchange you bet against other bettors — there are two roles here.
BACK Betting: You bet ৳500 on Team A to win (odds 1.80). If Team A wins, you earn ৳400 profit before commission; if they do not win, you lose ৳500.
LAY Betting: You bet on Team A to lose (meaning you take the other side of someone else's ৳500 bet). If Team A does not win, you receive ৳500 before commission; if Team A wins, you must pay ৳400 (liability: ৳500 × 0.80 = ৳400).
On an exchange, odds are set by market demand, so they can sometimes differ from those at a traditional bookmaker. Learn more about how these markets work at cb666 Bet.
