Cricket betting at 5666bet — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
T20, ODI and Test — 5666bet offers betting across multiple markets in all three formats. BPL, IPL and international series all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
T20 Cricket
Each team plays just 20 overs. Odds move fast — a single over can turn a match around. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format. It is the most popular format among cricket fans in Bangladesh.
One Day International (ODI)
In this 50-over format, each session and powerplay carries separate importance in betting markets. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in the ODI format. Betting opportunities remain open over a longer period.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather and player form play a big role in betting. A draw is a valid result, so the market has three options — home team, away team or draw.
In Bangladesh, BPL generates the most interest — you get to watch an exciting contest between local clubs and bet on it at the same time. IPL lets you analyse markets while watching world-class players. 5666bet always has a range of betting markets open for Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments.
Cricket, football and other sports
A cricket match contains hundreds of events — every ball and every wicket is a potential market. In football, goals are fewer over 90 minutes, so the markets are different in nature. Where cricket has markets like top batsman or leading wicket-taker, football has top goal scorer or first goal scorer of the match.
In football, Asian Handicap and Both Teams to Score (BTTS) are very popular alongside match winner. Cricket, on the other hand, adds extra layers with innings-based markets, powerplay runs and last-five-overs bets. In other sports like Kabaddi, Badminton or Basketball, the number of markets is generally smaller and the odds differ accordingly.
5666bet has markets for multiple sports in one place, so a user can bet on football or other sports while watching a cricket match. For detailed rules, it is worth reading 5666bet's terms and conditions.
Popular betting markets and examples
Cricket has many types of markets. Below, seven popular markets are explained in plain language — each with a simple example.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. There is no draw in T20. Example: if you bet on Team A to win and Team A wins, the bet is successful.
Toss Market
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely unpredictable, so the odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. Batting order and pitch conditions need to be taken into account.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: whether total runs will be more than 160.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combining bets on multiple matches or events multiplies the odds, but if any single selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for more details.
Powerplay Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first six overs (powerplay). The early form of top batters is relevant here.
Leading Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) matters in this market.
How to understand odds
Betting sites display odds in three different formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A win odds | Team B win odds | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 | Profit/stake ratio |
| American | +150 | -125 | + means profit on a 100 stake; - means the amount you need to stake to win 100 |
Example 1 — bet on Team A to win (odds 2.50, stake ৳200):
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (odds 1.80, stake ৳200):
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (minus odds means you need to stake that amount to win 100). If Team B wins, total return is ৳360 (৳160 profit). If Team B loses, you lose ৳200.
Multi Bet Example
If the odds for three separate selections are 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined multi bet odds are 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately).
A ৳100 stake returns ৳581 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. A multi bet offers a higher potential return but carries equally higher risk.
The higher the odds number, the less likely the betting site considers that outcome to be. Higher odds mean a bigger return if you win, but a lower chance of winning. Betting is always for entertainment — it is not a source of income.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — in-play betting
Betting while a match is in progress is called in-play or live betting. In cricket this is particularly engaging because the situation changes with every ball.
Say Team A started batting well, but three wickets fell in the 10th over — Team A's odds to win will rise (meaning they are no longer the favourite) and Team B's odds will fall. This change happens in real time.
In over-by-over markets (how many runs in the next over, whether the next ball is a dot ball) a new situation arises with every ball. Live betting is easy to use on the 5666bet mobile app — you can join live markets from anywhere via the 5666bet app.
Useful betting tips
Experienced bettors follow a few common habits — these help you enjoy the game in a more controlled way.
Set a budget
Decide on a limit before each session. Betting is for entertainment — set your budget assuming you may lose it. You can read 5666bet's responsible gaming guidelines for more on playing responsibly.
Choose markets that match the format
Powerplay markets move faster in T20. Middle overs matter more in ODI. In Test cricket you need to track pitch changes. Betting in a format you know well is easier.
Focus on one or two markets
For beginners, starting with match winner or over/under is a good idea. Placing bets across many complex markets at once makes it hard to keep track.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets are tempting because the odds are bigger. But if even one selection is wrong, everything is lost. Start with small stakes to understand how multis work.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds change quickly in in-play betting. Instead of making an instant decision driven by emotion, watch the situation for a few balls and then place your bet.
Accept losses — do not chase them
Placing bigger bets to recover a loss from one match is risky. Each match is new — do not carry the previous one into it.
