The three formats of cricket and popular competitions

coldbet Cricket Betting Markets and Odds

All three formats of cricket are available at coldbet, and the betting experience differs for each. T20 is the fastest version — with matches finishing in just 20 overs, markets change quickly. In Bangladesh, the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is played in this format and local interest in domestic players' performances is highest here. IPL is also the same format and is very popular among cricket fans across the subcontinent.

ODI with 50 overs offers more opportunities to bet — odds shift according to the situation in each powerplay, middle overs or death overs. Local interest in Bangladesh Tigers' ODI series is always high.

Test cricket is the longest format — betting strategy for a five-day match is completely different. Markets such as total runs, match draw and series winner are available here.

Alongside international cricket, coldbet also offers betting on the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series. Besides cricket, coldbet Bet offers the chance to bet on football, tennis and many other sports.

Cricket vs Football and Other Sports

Features of Cricket Betting

Cricket betting markets are far more varied. Beyond just match win or loss, you can bet on specific markets — from the toss to runs per over, number of wickets, and top batsman. In Test matches there is also the possibility of a draw, so the odds structure is different from ODI or T20.

Football and Other Sports

Football mainly features match winner (1X2), goal totals and handicap markets. In tennis, set and game-based betting is popular. Football matches are much shorter than cricket, so situations change faster in live betting. At coldbet, markets for all sports are organised separately.

Popular Betting Markets

Below are the most widely used markets for cricket betting at coldbet. A simple example is included with each one.

Match Winner

Which team will win the match — team A or team B. In T20 this is the simplest and most widely used market. Example: you pick team A, and if correct you receive a return according to the odds.

T20 and ODI

Toss Winner

A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Many people give importance to the toss market based on pitch and weather conditions. Example: you bet that team B will win the toss.

Individual Performance

Top Batsman

Which batsman within a team will score the most runs. Example: a player from team A will score the highest runs — winning this market gives a return according to the specified odds.

Over/Under

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether total runs in the match will be more or less than a specific number — in this market you only judge the number, not the team. Example: whether total runs in an ODI will be over 300.

Multi Bet

Choosing the results of multiple matches together multiplies the odds. Example: three selections across three matches — if all are correct the total odds are multiplied; if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.

Test Match

Series Winner

Which team will win a multi-match series — this market is more common in Test series. Example: a bet that team A will win a three-match series.

How to Read Odds

coldbet Odds Formats and Betting Calculations

At coldbet, odds are shown in three formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.

Example 1 — the same odds in three formats:
Bet ৳1,000 on team A to win. Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150.
If you win, return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake back). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.

Example 2 — odds for the favourite:
Bet ৳1,000 on team B to win. Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If you win, return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).

Format	Format	Commonly Used In	Meaning
Decimal	2.50	Europe, Asia	Stake × odds = total return
Fractional	3/2	UK, Ireland	Numerator ÷ denominator = profit ratio
American	+150 / -125	North America	+ means profit on a ৳100 stake; − means stake required to win ৳100

Live Betting — Changing Odds During the Game

LIVE Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Here, odds change instantly after every over and wicket.

Say team A scores only 40 runs and loses 2 wickets by the end of the powerplay in a T20 match — their odds to win will increase, because the situation is difficult. On the other hand, if team A scores 60+ runs and loses no wickets, team B's odds will increase.

In an ODI or Test match, the entire market balance can shift after a key wicket falls. coldbet's live betting interface shows these changes in real time. Keep in mind that live betting requires quick decisions — so plan your approach beforehand.

Alongside various casino games and sports betting, coldbet Casino offers live casino, slots and much more.

Practical Betting Tips

Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. The tips below will help you play responsibly. To learn more about responsible gaming, read our responsible gaming guide.

Set a Budget

Decide in advance how much you will bet. Do not go beyond that limit — whether you win or lose.

Understand One Market Well

Start by getting comfortable with simple markets like match winner. Learn to read decimal odds before moving on to multi bets.

Avoid Rushing in Live Betting

Live odds change fast. Do not place large bets on impulse — assess the situation calmly.

Choose Markets That Suit the Format

In T20, markets like total sixes or powerplay runs are a good fit; in Test matches, series winner or top wicket-taker are more suitable.

Betting is Entertainment

No strategy guarantees a win. Bet knowing you may lose — that way the experience stays enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, there are notable differences between the three. In T20, results come quickly so odds shift very fast during live betting. In ODI, there is more opportunity for the situation to change during the middle overs. In Test matches, the possibility of a draw means the market structure is different — series-based markets are also available here.

In a multi bet, multiple selections are combined together. The odds of each selection are multiplied — so the return on a small stake can be much larger. However, if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Example: decimal odds of 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all selections are correct.

Decimal odds of 2.50 mean you get a total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked — this includes your original stake. So the profit is ৳1.50. A direct example: you bet ৳1,000 on team A to win, odds 2.50. If team A wins, total return is ৳2,500 — profit ৳1,500; if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.

Yes, coldbet supports live in-play betting on BPL matches. Odds update after every over and wicket. The end of the powerplay, a big wicket falling, or a big shot in the final over — odds shift quickly in these situations. Since decisions need to be made fast in live betting, it is good to have a strategy ready beforehand.

In the top batsman market, you have to pick the batsman who will score the most runs within a team. If the batsman you chose scores the highest runs for their team in that innings, you receive a return according to the specified odds. If two batsmen score equal runs, the result is determined according to the match rules.
