Cricket Betting at xe66 — the best betting experience for T20, BPL and international matches
Get closer to Bangladesh's most popular sport. Bet on every format of cricket at xe66, choose from a range of markets, and take part in live in-play betting.
Cricket formats and popular tournaments
From T20 to Test — each format has its own pace and character. You can bet on all of them at xe66.
T20 — the unique appeal of fast cricket
Twenty20 cricket is now familiar in every household in Bangladesh. A match wraps up in just twenty overs, so there is no room to drift — any delivery can turn the game. Tournaments like BPL or the T20 World Cup offer more opportunities to bet across different markets, because so much happens within a match.
BPL is now the flagship franchise cricket competition in Bangladesh. Fans from Dhaka to every corner of the country stay up all night for this tournament. During the BPL season, xe66 offers many markets including match winner and top run scorer.
ODI and Test cricket
Strategy matters more in ODI betting — the fifty-over match is split across two innings. When Bangladesh Tigers take part in ICC events such as the ODI World Cup or T20 World Cup, fan interest multiplies.
Test cricket is a five-day game — a test of patience. Because a draw is possible, there are three separate results in Test cricket: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This creates a different situation for betting compared to T20 or ODI.
IPL, the Indian Premier League, is equally popular among Bangladeshi fans on the international stage. Big-name players take part in this tournament, which means a wider variety of markets.
T20
The fastest and most popular format. Live betting is available across BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup.
One-Day Cricket
Fifty overs of competition, with widespread interest in the Tigers' performance at ICC events.
Test Cricket
Five days of long-format cricket. The possibility of a draw makes the betting markets relatively more varied.
Football and other sports betting
Beyond cricket, xe66 has markets for several other sports.
Football is also very popular in Bangladesh. Staying up late to watch World Cup qualifiers or European league matches is nothing new here. The key difference in football betting is the draw — T20 and ODI cricket have no draws, but football has three possible results. This makes the odds and market types different.
Football offers multiple markets including goals — such as whether both teams will score, the half-time result, or over/under on total goals. Each market is structured differently from cricket, so it is better for new bettors to understand one market before moving to the next.
Tennis, kabaddi and other sports markets are also available at xe66. However, cricket-focused markets remain by far the most used among Bangladeshi bettors.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming policy — it helps keep the experience safe and enjoyable.
Popular betting markets
A guide to which cricket markets to bet on — from basic to advanced.
Predicting which team will win the match. The simplest and most popular market in T20 and ODI. Example: if you bet on Team A to win, only that result needs to come through.
Good starting pointBetting on which team will win the toss before the match starts. A straightforward 50-50 market — the result does not depend on what happens on the field.
Independent marketWhich player from a given team will score the most runs in a specific match or innings. This market is also available for entire tournaments. Example: predicting who will score the most runs for Team A.
Performance bettingWhether total runs in a specific number of overs will be over or under a set figure. For example, whether runs in the powerplay overs will be over 50. Wickets and pitch conditions influence this market.
Numbers-basedCombining multiple markets into a single bet. Returns increase if all selections are correct, but the entire bet is lost if any one selection is wrong. Example: a combination of three separate selections.
Higher returns possibleWhich bowler will take the most wickets, or whether the total number of wickets in a match will be over or under a set figure — this market is quite popular among cricket bettors.
Bowling focusA simple guide to understanding odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American.
In betting, odds express the probability of an event as a number. The same odds are written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. xe66 generally displays decimal format, but knowing the others is also useful.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If the bet wins, return is ৳3,000 (profit ৳2,000 + original stake ৳1,000). If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100. Here, a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 (profit ৳800).
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply your stake directly to get the total return. Beginners will find decimal format the easiest to calculate with.
Live in-play betting
Odds shift while the match is on — live betting turns that into an opportunity.
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is especially popular because odds change instantly with every wicket, every over, and the end of the powerplay.
For example, if Team A makes a strong start in the first innings, the odds for Team B to win increase — betting on Team B at that point could offer a comparatively higher return. Keep in mind, though, that the momentum of a match can shift at any moment.
Live betting requires quick decisions. That means watching the game closely and knowing in advance which market you want to bet on. Making rushed decisions is not advisable.
On a platform like xe66, live betting can be done on mobile through the xe66 App, which lets you follow the match on the go.
Useful tips before you bet
Betting is for entertainment — following a few simple rules makes the experience better.
- Start with one market. Match winner is the easiest market for new bettors. Once you are comfortable with it, try the others.
- Set a budget first. Before each session, decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend and stick to it.
- Check the pitch and conditions. Fast bowlers do well on pace-friendly wickets, spinners on spin-friendly pitches. This is useful for the top bowler market.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple selections increases returns but also increases risk. New bettors should keep their stakes low on multi bets.
- Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Treat cricket betting as part of enjoying the game. Avoid the urge to bet more to recover losses.
- Read the rules. Reading xe66's terms and conditions tells you what happens if a market is voided or a dispute arises.
