Cricket betting at gamex — bet on all formats from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Feel closer to Bangladesh's favourite sport. The sports section at gamex offers betting across a range of markets in BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches. Odds keep changing from before the match starts right through to the final over — every moment is different.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladeshis' favourite competitions
The first thing to know about cricket betting is which format you are betting on, because the pace and nature of each format is different.
T20: The fastest format. A match ends in just 20 overs, so odds can shift dramatically with every ball. BPL and IPL are played in this format and it is the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup is held once every two years and during that time the number of matches and markets increases noticeably.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, average runs per innings, partnerships and mid-match momentum add extra depth to betting. Matches involving the Tigers in the ICC ODI World Cup or bilateral series consistently attract a high volume of bets.
Test: The longer five-day format. Because a draw is possible here, betting markets are structured differently — series winner, highest runs in an innings and wicket markets are the most popular.
Bangladeshis' favourite tournaments
- BPL (Bangladesh Premier League): The T20 franchise cricket league played on home soil. Matches involving Dhaka's teams draw the most interest from local fans.
- IPL: The Indian Premier League features top players from around the world, making its matches widely watched in Bangladesh as well and its betting markets well-stocked.
- T20 World Cup and ICC Events: When the Tigers play on the international stage, there is always a special level of attention. Live betting markets stay very active during these times.
- Bilateral Series: ODI and Test series offer the chance to bet consistently across multiple matches. Odds for each match shift based on the results of the previous ones.
Beyond cricket — betting on football and other sports
The sports section at gamex is not limited to cricket. Football, tennis and other international sports markets are also available here. However, there are some key differences between the betting structure of cricket and football.
Since a draw is possible in football, you can generally bet on three outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. In this three-way market, the odds for each outcome are calculated differently. In T20 cricket there is usually no draw, so the market is straightforward — two outcomes.
Handicap betting is more common in football, where the weaker team is given a goal advantage to level the bet. In cricket, the run-line or wicket-line is the equivalent of a handicap.
Alongside exploring betting on other sports, you can also enjoy live table games and slots at gamex Casino.
Popular cricket betting markets — how each one works
Multiple markets are open for each match. Below is a straightforward explanation of seven common markets.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. Two outcomes in T20, three in Test (Team A, Team B or a draw).
Most PopularToss Winner
Who will win the toss at the start of the match. The outcome is entirely random — there is no element of strategy, though the importance of the toss can increase depending on the pitch conditions.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for their team in the match — for example, which batter will be the top run-scorer for Team A.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the combined total runs of both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — this is also available separately for the first innings.
Totals MarketTop Bowler
Who will take the most wickets in an innings. In T20, the market for bowlers in the final five overs tends to be even more active.
Player MarketMulti Bet
Adding multiple matches or markets together multiplies all the odds, increasing the potential return — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple SelectionsInnings Run-Line
Will Team A score above a set number of runs in the first innings? Pitch conditions, weather and team form all play an important role in this market.
Handicap MarketOdds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
On gamex and other sports betting platforms, odds may be shown in three formats. Even though the numbers differ, they are all referring to the same outcome of the same match — only the way they are presented is different.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Total return on a ৳200 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake returned) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳500 (same result) |
| American | +150 | ৳500 (same result) |
Example 1: Bet on Team A to win, stake ৳200. Decimal 2.50, Fractional 3/2, American +150 — all three say the same thing. If Team A wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake); if Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
| Format | Team B (favourite) odds | Total return on a ৳200 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 stake) |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳300 (same result) |
| American | -200 | ৳300 (same result) |
Example 2: Team B is the favourite, stake ৳200. American minus odds (-200) means you risk ৳200 to make ৳100 in profit. If Team B wins, total return is ৳300; if they lose, ৳200 is lost.
A simple guide to reading odds
- Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply your stake by the odds and the result is your total return.
- Fractional odds are the traditional British method — "3/2" means ৳3 profit for every ৳2 wagered.
- American plus odds (+) show how much profit you make on ৳100. American minus odds (-) show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 in profit.
- All three formats refer to the same event — only the way they are presented differs.
Live betting — odds change with every wicket and every over
Live or in-play betting means placing bets in real time while a match is in progress. It is the most fast-moving side of cricket betting — because every ball, wicket or boundary instantly affects the odds.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 2 wickets in the powerplay. At that moment, Team B's odds of winning shorten and Team A's odds of winning start to lengthen. If Team A then hits a string of boundaries in the middle overs, the odds shift again.
Anything can happen in the last five overs of a T20 — a single successful six can change the course of the match. In-play markets generally move faster than pre-match markets, so the time available to make a decision is limited.
In an ODI match, the in-play market opens up more options around the midpoint of the first innings — such as how many runs will be scored in 20 overs, or at what score will the next wicket fall. This makes betting more closely tied to how the match unfolds.
For easy access on mobile, live betting is available from anywhere via the gamex App.

Login to gamexSome practical tips for cricket betting
- Understand the format: The nature of play differs across T20, ODI and Test. A team's recent performance in one format may not carry over to another.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend before each bet. Betting is a form of entertainment — you should not increase your bets to recover losses.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but one wrong pick and the whole bet is lost. Start with fewer selections.
- Check the pitch report: Batting-friendly pitches like Chattogram tend to produce higher scores. The type of pitch directly affects over/under markets.
- Stay disciplined in live betting: In-play odds move quickly. Rather than placing large bets on impulse, go in with a plan decided beforehand.
- Build expertise in one market: Start by understanding one market well, such as Match Winner. Then gradually move to other markets.
- Play responsibly: Betting is a source of entertainment, not income. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help you set your own limits.
- Read the bonus terms: Before claiming any bonus, make sure you understand the wagering requirements. gamex's rules are detailed on the Terms & Conditions page.
Multi Bet — bet on multiple selections at once
A multi bet lets you add multiple matches or markets together. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the total odds increase significantly. However, if not all selections are correct, the entire bet is lost — not even one can fail.
Example: A multi bet with three selections
Three selections across three separate matches — odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80.
Total odds: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately)
A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all selections are correct.
If even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. These figures are for illustration only — they are not a guarantee of actual winnings.
