cxwelcome Cricket Betting — Odds and Market Guide for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — popular markets for every format, a straightforward guide to reading odds, and strategies for live betting. Cricket betting at cxwelcome is another way to stay connected to the game you love.
The three formats of cricket and major tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, betting is a way to stay even more closely connected to the action on the field. cxwelcome offers markets across all three formats.
T20 is the fastest format — matches wrap up in just 20 overs, and the odds can shift in an instant amid big sixes. Live betting on T20 format is the most popular, especially during BPL and IPL. ODI matches play out over 50 overs, giving you more time to think through markets like match winner, top batsman and run totals. Test cricket is a five-day test of patience — since a draw is possible, a three-way result market is created, which does not exist in T20 or ODI.
T20 World Cup, Bangladesh Tigers international series and BPL — these are the tournaments where cxwelcome opens the most markets. ICC major tournaments also bring their own opportunities.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
cxwelcome offers betting not just on cricket but also on football and a few other sports. The betting experience varies depending on the sport.
Football has three core outcomes — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, so the market structure is different. Handicap betting is more common in football; in cricket, run-based markets — such as first innings total or powerplay runs — are more popular. Cricket also sees the situation shift repeatedly during a match — when a wicket falls, rain stops, or a big over comes in, odds move instantly. In football, those movements are comparatively slower.
In both sports, multi bets — combining multiple selections together — are a popular approach, because even a small stake on one market can return a larger amount through combined odds. However, if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Popular betting markets — how each one works
The markets below are the most commonly used for cricket betting on cxwelcome. Each one works a little differently.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes; in Test there are three (win, loss, draw).
SimplestToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match. Since the result is close to 50-50, the odds are usually similar for both sides. Known as a short market.
Short marketTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for their team — in this market you can pick individual players for each innings.
Innings-basedTotal Runs — Over / Under
Whether the total runs in an innings will be higher (over) or lower (under) than a set number — who wins the match does not matter in this market.
Run-basedMulti Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets multiplies the combined odds, making a large return possible even on a small budget. However, if one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple selectionsPowerplay Total
Whether the total runs in the first 6 overs (T20) or first 10 overs (ODI) will be above or below a set line — results come quickly, making this popular for live betting.
Live-friendlyOdds are written in three formats — how to read them
On betting sites, odds can appear in decimal, fractional or American format. All three express the same potential return — only the way they are written differs.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If the bet wins, you get back ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + your ৳500 stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Decimal format makes it easy to calculate total return — just multiply your stake by the odds. Fractional format is traditionally used in British betting, and in American format "+" indicates the underdog while "−" indicates the favourite.
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
On a ৳500 stake the return is ৳750 (৳250 profit).
cxwelcome defaults to decimal format, but you can change the format if needed. On cxwelcome Bet, it is easy to view and compare odds across different sports at once.
How multi bet calculations work
Say three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90. Combined in a multi bet, the combined odds are:
On a ৳100 stake, the return is ৳399 — only if all three win.
If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. Keep your bets within your means.
Live betting — how odds change during a match
The most engaging betting experience in cricket is in-play or live betting. After the match starts, odds shift with every wicket, every big over and every powerplay completion — sometimes a major change comes in a single moment.
As an example — Team A is batting and has scored 50 runs in the first 5 overs, so their odds of winning will shorten because bettors are placing more money on that side. Then if 2–3 wickets fall quickly, the odds can rise again. This movement is the pace of live betting.
In Test cricket, the pitch condition, the state of the field over five days and the weather all affect live odds. In T20, as the run rate pressure builds in the final overs, the odds for the defending team shift quickly.
Live betting on cxwelcome works just as well on mobile. On the cxwelcome App, you can place bets alongside live score updates, making it easy to keep up with the match from anywhere.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — there are no guaranteed profits, but a few simple habits can make the experience better.
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will put in each session before you start, and stick to it. Avoid the urge to place bigger bets to recover losses.
- Focus on one market: Start by getting comfortable with simpler markets like match winner or total runs. Spreading bets across all markets at once splits your focus.
- Watch the pitch and weather: Spin-friendly pitches produce fewer runs; batting pitches produce more. This basic knowledge is useful in total runs markets.
- Keep multi bet selections limited: A multi bet with 3–4 selections is easier to manage. Adding too many selections makes it hard to get them all right.
- Play responsibly: Betting is entertainment, not a livelihood. If you feel you are spending too much time or money, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds move fast in-play, so pause before making a decision. Place bets based on what you see, not on impulse.

Betting exchange — what Back and Lay mean
On a standard sportsbook, you bet against the bookmaker. On a betting exchange, you bet against other bettors — both sides set the odds themselves.
BACK: Place ৳1,000 and if Team A wins you make ৳1,000 profit; if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000.
LAY: Standing against a backer of ৳1,000, your liability is ৳1,000 (৳1,000 × 1.00). If Team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000; if they win, you pay ৳1,000. (Figures before commission.)
You need a solid understanding of how it works before taking part in an exchange. Read the FAQ — it has answers to basic betting questions.
