Cricket Betting at 6r — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Learn in plain language how to bet on every cricket format, how each market works, and everything from reading odds to live betting.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — How Betting Works in Each
For fans in Bangladesh, cricket is full of excitement and passion. Understanding the format is important when it comes to betting.
The three main formats of international cricket are T20 ODI Test. Each format has its own pace and tactics, so the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format. Each team gets 20 overs, so the result can swing at any moment. BPL and IPL are both played in T20 format and are the most popular among fans in Bangladesh. The T20 World Cup also attracts a lot of betting interest.
ODI gives each team 50 overs. A match takes a full day to complete, so odds shift at different stages as the game progresses. This format is familiar to bettors who follow the Tigers' ODI performances.
Test cricket is a five-day format. A draw is a valid result here, so there are three possible outcomes to bet on: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch conditions, team strength and weather all play a major role in Test betting — making it a more analysis-based format.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Alongside cricket, 6r also offers markets for football and other sports.
In football, the match winner market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. In T20 or ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so only two outcomes are available. Test cricket does have a draw, which makes it a three-way market similar to football.
Goal-related markets in football (such as total goals) are very popular. The closest equivalent in cricket is the total runs (over/under) market. Both sports offer in-play betting, but in cricket every over and wicket shifts the odds much more rapidly.
6r's crash games section offers a completely different style of gameplay — separate from sports betting and with quick results. You can also enjoy spin-based betting in the Super Wheel section.
The main difference is match duration and the number of events. A cricket match has hundreds of deliveries, which allows ball-by-ball markets to form. In football, events over 90 minutes are fewer, but odds continue to move minute by minute.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket with Examples
How each market works can be understood with simple examples.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win the match. Example: if you back Team B in a match between Team A and Team B, your bet wins if Team B wins.
EasiestToss
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss has no bearing on the game itself, so this is an entirely separate market.
Short-termTop Batsman
A bet on which batter from a given team will score the most runs. Example: who will be the top run-scorer in Team A's innings.
Team-basedTotal Runs (Over/Under)
A bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or the full match will be over or under a set number.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Placing bets on multiple matches or markets at once to create combined odds. All bets must win, but the potential reward is also higher.
Combined BetPowerplay Runs
Various markets based on how many runs are scored during the powerplay overs (the first 6 overs in T20).
Over-basedMulti Bet Example
Say you place bets on three separate matches at odds of 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively. Combining all three gives combined odds of 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately). If all three selections are correct on a ৳100 stake, you receive ৳513. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Learning to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Understanding odds tells you what return you can expect. All three formats convey the same information.
All three formats give the same information. If Team A wins, a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,500 in total (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 stake is lost.
Favourite Odds Example
If Team B is the favourite, the odds might be: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American number means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit — here ৳200. On a ৳500 stake, if Team B wins you receive ৳750 (৳250 profit).
Decimal odds are more widely used on most betting platforms in Bangladesh because they are easier to calculate. Whenever you see a three-digit decimal, just multiply it by your stake to get the total return.
When a Wicket Falls, Odds Shift — How In-Play Betting Works
Betting while a match is in progress is the most dynamic experience.
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds update instantly at the end of each over, when a wicket falls, or after a big six.
For example: suppose Team A is given a slight edge from the start. But if Team A loses three wickets in the first powerplay, Team B's odds will immediately shorten while Team A's odds lengthen. Those watching the match live can use that understanding to place their bets.
In-play betting in T20 is the most fast-moving because the game is done in just 20 overs. If 18 runs are needed off the last over, or if the top batter is at the crease in that final over — the odds in those two situations will be completely opposite.
In Test cricket, in-play odds shift more gradually, because even if one side's batting collapses there is still time across five days for things to change.
Things to Keep in Mind for Live Betting
-
Odds change very quickly — if you take too long to decide, the odds you wanted may no longer be available.
-
Watching the match live helps you understand how the pitch is playing and which bowlers are effective.
-
After a wicket falls and Team A's odds have lengthened, placing a bet at that moment may offer a better return.
-
Set your budget limit in advance — live betting's fast pace can lead to placing more bets than planned.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping these few points in mind helps you have a better experience.
-
Understand the format: T20, ODI and Test each have a different style of play. A team that performs well in one format can be weaker in another. Before placing a bet, consider the team's recent performance specifically in that format.
-
Set a budget: Before each match, decide the maximum you are willing to stake. Once you reach that limit, stop placing bets. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help you understand your own limits.
-
Start with one market: Begin with a straightforward market such as match winner. Placing a multi bet across several markets you do not fully understand increases risk.
-
Watch how odds move: Odds change both before and during a match. A sudden large shift usually means something has happened — perhaps an injury update or a change in weather.
-
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income: Cricket betting is one way to enjoy the game. Treat each bet as the cost of entertainment, not as a guaranteed source of earnings. Players who join the 6r VIP programme receive weekly cashback.
