Cricket Betting at okzz — bet on every format from T20 to Test
From BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup to bilateral series — okzz offers live and pre-match betting on every major cricket event. Multiple markets, straightforward deposit options and support in Bengali — all in one place.
The three formats of cricket and popular tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh watch and bet on three different formats — each requiring a different approach.
T20 — the fast-paced format
A T20 match finishes in just a few hours, so the situation changes with every over. BPL and IPL are the two biggest leagues in this format — fans in Bangladesh follow both closely. The T20 World Cup is one of the biggest events of the year.
ODI — this fifty-over format requires both pace and patience. In big matches, the nature of betting shifts through the middle overs. The ICC World Cup is primarily played in the ODI format.
Test — in five-day Test cricket, each session tells its own story. Pitch conditions, weather and the gap between innings can all change the betting picture. The Tigers' Test matches can be followed closely on okzz.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, okzz also offers betting on football, tennis and other sports. Football can end in a draw — something that generally does not happen in limited-overs cricket. Each sport has its own set of markets.
Cricket vs football betting
Cricket generates a far greater number of in-play markets based on innings, overs and wickets. Football is driven mainly by goals and handicap markets. The key difference between the two sports is the pace of the game and the number of sessions.
Understanding the differences in betting
In cricket, pitch reports, toss decisions and team statistics all influence betting. In football, form and home advantage play a bigger role. Understanding both sports before placing bets makes for a richer experience.
Popular betting markets
A few markets are used most often for cricket betting on okzz. Each market works differently.
-
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, if the team you pick wins, your bet is successful. -
Toss Winner
You can bet on the toss result before the match starts. This is the quickest market in a match and results are known immediately. Example: will Team A win the toss — yes or no. -
Top Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs — you pick a specific individual in this market. If the player you chose ends up as the top scorer for their team, your bet is successful. -
Total Runs — Over / Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number — this market depends on the scoring pattern of the match. Example: over or under 160 runs in the first innings. -
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet — if all selections are correct, the return is much larger. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. See below for more details on multi bets. -
Player Performance Markets
How many wickets a bowler will take, or whether a batsman will score a half-century — these special markets are available on a match-by-match basis. -
Partnership Runs
Bet on how many runs a pair of batsmen will add together. This market attracts particular interest in Test and ODI matches.
A multi bet with three selections
Say three separate selections are made across three matches — with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 respectively.
(only if all selections are correct)
Understanding the three odds formats
Betting sites in different countries display odds in three different ways. okzz generally uses the decimal format.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳1,500 on a ৳500 bet (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked That is ৳1,000 profit on a ৳500 bet |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet A plus sign means underdog |
The three formats above all express the same bet in different ways — a ৳500 bet on Team A to win returns ৳1,500 in every case (profit ৳1,000). If the match is lost, ৳500 is gone.
Favourite team odds — example
When Team B is more likely to win, their odds are lower. Example: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American −200.
Why is the decimal format easier?
The decimal format makes calculating total returns straightforward — just multiply the odds by your stake. Beginners usually start with this format.
The fractional format is more common in the UK. The American format is used in the United States and separates underdogs from favourites using plus and minus signs.
When betting on okzz Bet, you can easily convert from any format to decimal.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — live betting
Once a match is underway, odds change in real time with every event. A wicket falling can immediately push up the odds for the batting team. A six or a four can bring down the odds for that batsman in his market.
As each over ends, the run rate changes — this is reflected directly in the total runs market. Live markets are most active in the final five overs of a T20 because the situation shifts quickly.
In Test matches, the number of wickets and the run difference at the end of each session determine the opening odds for the following day. When the pitch dries out, spinners become more effective and the bowling team's odds start to shorten.
When live betting, keep in mind — betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money. You can find more details about live betting on the FAQ page.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Think of betting as entertainment. These tips help keep the experience more disciplined.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet each week or each match. Staying within that budget is the sensible approach.
Focus on one market
Rather than spreading across many markets at once, build experience with simpler markets like Match Winner or Total Runs first.
Use multi bets carefully
Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. The more selections you add, the less likely it is that all of them will be correct.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds move fast during a match. Avoid making snap decisions driven by emotion — assess the situation before placing a bet.
Think about each format separately
T20 and Test strategies are not the same. A player who performs well in T20 may perform differently in Tests — keep this in mind when choosing markets.
Betting is entertainment, not a profession
Cricket betting is for enjoyment — it is not a reliable source of income. Avoid placing larger bets to chase losses after a loss.
