Cricket Betting at ek333 — Top Markets from BPL to T20
ek333 offers a complete cricket betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From match winner to live odds — everything in Bangla, on your mobile.
Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than just a game — it is a feeling. During the BPL season in particular, it is the only topic of conversation from stadiums in Dhaka to tea stalls in the districts. ek333 has built a complete cricket betting section around this passion.
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI, and Test — each have their own pace and betting character. Here is a brief introduction to all three:
T20
In this format of a maximum 20 overs, matches finish quickly and results change fast. BPL and IPL are played in this format. T20 is the most active format for live betting.
ODI
The 50-over one-day match requires both strategy and patience. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are generally played in this format. ODI offers greater variety in international markets.
Test
In this classic five-day format, a draw is also a possible result. Test cricket offers special markets such as top batsman, innings runs, or session result.
When it comes to tournaments, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is closest to local fans. Besides that, ek333 regularly carries markets for IPL, T20 World Cup, and other international ICC events. On days when the Tigers play, betting activity is especially high.
Beyond cricket, ek333 also offers betting on football and other sports. Football markets are different from cricket in character — there are more matches, but local interest is somewhat different. In football, markets like match winner, goal total, or both teams to score are most common, while cricket offers far more detailed markets such as wickets, run rate, and partnerships.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Cricket betting has many types of markets. Below is a simple introduction to seven popular markets — each with an example to make the concept clear.
Match Winner
The most-played market — which team will win the match. If team A wins, your bet succeeds; if team B wins, you lose the bet.
Most CommonToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely independent market — it has no connection to the match result.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
A bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs. The focus is on who will be the best performer within the team.
Player BettingTotal Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a set number of overs will be above or below a given number. For example, whether total runs in 20 overs will be more than 160.
Runs BasedPowerplay Score
How many runs a team will score by the end of the first powerplay (usually overs 1–6) — this market changes quickly in live betting, so it gets special attention.
Live MarketMulti Bet
Combining multiple selections into one bet. For example, three bets on three separate matches combined — you win only if all three are correct; one wrong and the whole bet is lost.
Combined BetWicket Betting
A bet on how many wickets will fall in a specific over or innings. This market needs to be analysed by considering how effective the bowling attack is.

How to Read Odds
In cricket betting, odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three convey the same information; only the way they are expressed differs.
Say team A will win — those odds written in three formats look like this: Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you place ৳200 on this bet and win, you get back ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Now look at the odds for a favourite — team B will win: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. In the American format, a minus sign means how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, if you win you get back ৳300 (৳100 profit).
In T20 or ODI matches there is no possibility of a draw, so odds are usually split between two teams. In Test cricket, a draw is a third option, so three separate odds are shown.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 |
| American | +200 | -200 |
| Return on ৳200 Stake | ৳600 (Profit ৳400) | ৳300 (Profit ৳100) |
The figures in the example are for illustration only — they are not live odds or a promise of profit.
Multi Bet Example
If three separate bet selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.80, the combined odds will be 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three are correct you get back ৳378. But remember — if even one is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. A multi bet offers higher returns but also higher risk.
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match Is On
Live betting at ek333 means the ability to place bets in real time while a match is in progress. When a wicket falls or a big six is hit, odds change instantly. It is this constantly shifting situation that makes live betting so engaging.
Say team A is batting slowly in a T20 match, losing two wickets in the first ten overs — at that moment team B's odds may shorten. Then if a big hitter comes in during the last five overs, the whole picture can change. These swings are at the heart of live betting.
Live betting in a Test match is even more detailed — you can bet on each session, each wicket, and even the runs in a single over. However, in any format, there is less time to decide in live betting, so it helps to be familiar with the markets beforehand.
You can follow live scores and bet at the same time through the ek333 App on mobile — from anywhere.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, ek333 also offers football betting. Markets are available on various matches from European leagues to Asian tournaments. In football, 1X2 (home win, draw, away win), both teams to score, and total goals over/under are the three most common markets.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is the range of markets and match length. Cricket has far more over-based, wicket-based, and player-focused markets, while in football, scoreline and time-based markets are more popular.
Some other sports betting sections are also available at ek333. If you prefer gaming, you can enjoy live casino and slot games at ek333 Casino.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. The tips below will help you enjoy it responsibly.
-
Set a budget first. Decide how much you will spend before each match and stick to that limit. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose.
-
Choose markets based on the format. T20 requires quick decisions; Test gives you more time to analyse. Focus on the format you know best.
-
Build knowledge in one market. Getting to know one or two markets well is far more effective than playing every market at once.
-
No rushing in live betting. Odds change fast in in-play markets, but make every decision carefully.
-
Betting is entertainment, not investment. Cricket betting is for enjoyment — do not place more bets trying to recover losses.
-
Follow responsible gaming guidelines. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and know your limits.
