Cricket Betting at 1xt — T20 to Test, BPL to International Matches
1xt is a go-to destination for cricket fans in Bangladesh — Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman, live betting, all in one place. This page has a straightforward guide to cricket betting formats, markets and how to read odds.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Understanding the format is the starting point for cricket betting. T20 is the fastest — each innings is just 20 overs, so odds shift frequently and a single over can change the picture. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are both played in this format and are the tournaments most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors.
In ODI, or One Day International cricket, each team bats for 50 overs. Run rate builds gradually, so markets like Total Runs or Top Batsman are particularly relevant. The T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy draw special interest when Bangladesh Tigers are playing.
Test cricket is the longest format — it can last up to five days. Here, innings-by-innings results, the possibility of a draw and pitch conditions directly affect betting. Odds move more slowly than in T20, but there is no shortage of opportunities.
Football and other sports are also available for betting at 1xt, though the structure is different. Football has a fixed 90 minutes, three possible outcomes (win-draw-loss) and separate markets like corners or cards. Cricket has far more ball-by-ball events, which means more live betting opportunities.
Popular Cricket Markets at 1xt
Many types of markets are open for each match. Here is an introduction to the seven most commonly used.
Match Winner
Simply pick which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 between Team A and Team B, you back Team B. If Team B wins, you get a return based on the odds; if Team A wins, the bet is lost. There is no draw in T20, so only two outcomes are possible.
Toss Winner
This market is settled before the match even starts. You simply pick which team — A or B — will win the toss. Odds are usually roughly equal for both sides, since neither team has any advantage in a coin toss.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team? This market stays in play throughout the entire match. A batter who is dismissed early is out of contention; one who bats deep has a stronger chance of winning the market.
Total Runs Over/Under
You pick whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above a set number (Over) or below it (Under). Example: if the line is 160.5, then 161 or more wins the Over, while 160 or fewer wins the Under.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? This depends on the batting team's strengths and the nature of the pitch. Backing a pacer on a spin-friendly pitch is risky — so have a sense of the conditions before placing this bet.
Run Handicap
The stronger team is given an artificial run deficit to level the contest. Say Team A is given a −25 run handicap. Even if Team A wins by 30 runs, their margin after the handicap is calculated as only 5 runs. This market is generally used when one side is a clear favourite.
Multi Bet (Parlay)
Adding multiple selections to a single bet slip multiplies all the odds together, making the potential return much larger. For example, picking three separate matches with odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 gives combined odds of 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳484 — but if any one of the three selections loses, the entire ৳100 is lost. Multi bets can be entertaining, but be aware of the risk.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — What Is the Difference?
Odds are written in three formats. All three express the same probability; only the presentation differs. The two examples below make the difference easy to understand.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 — Betting on the underdog: You back Team A with a ৳500 bet. Odds are 2.25 (decimal). If Team A wins, total return is ৳1,125 — that is ৳625 profit plus your ৳500 stake back. If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on the favourite: You back Team B with a ৳500 bet. Odds are 1.80. If Team B wins, total return is ৳900 — that is ৳400 profit. In American format, −125 means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
Team A / Team B are used for illustration only — these are not actual team odds or any guarantee. Betting is for entertainment; no one can guarantee a profit.
Odds Shift the Moment a Wicket Falls — How Live Betting Works
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket, the situation changes with every ball — a wicket falling pushes up the odds for the batting team to win, while a big six or four brings them back down.
If a team loses wickets quickly during the powerplay, live odds against them move fast. Bettors watch these movements to place new bets or reassess their existing positions.
With runs needed in the last five overs, the momentum of a match can swing quickly. Live betting requires attention — wait too long and the odds change or the market closes.
Live betting is also available for football, tennis, basketball and other sports, but cricket sees the most active markets due to its ball-by-ball events.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience smoother.
- Choose markets based on the format. In T20, Match Winner and live betting work well because results turn quickly. In Test matches, innings-based or Total Runs markets are more commonly used.
- Set a budget. Decide how much you will stake before each bet. Staying within that amount keeps betting as entertainment.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining many selections increases the potential return, but the chance of all of them winning together is low. Treat multi bets as entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
- Do not rush during live betting. Odds move fast. A wicket or a big score can update the market in an instant. Make decisions calmly.
- Take breaks. If betting starts to feel like pressure rather than entertainment, stop. Read the responsible gaming guidelines — they explain in detail how to keep yourself protected.
- Know the terms of your bets. Bonuses and promotions come with wagering conditions. Reading 1xt's terms and conditions upfront will prevent confusion later.
