ek333 Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and T20
For people in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. Bring that passion to cricket betting at ek333. From T20 to Tests, from BPL to the ICC World Cup — there are markets to bet on in every match.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting Markets
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — are quite different from each other in terms of betting. Each format has its own pace and character, which is worth keeping in mind when choosing a market.
The fastest format. In a 20-over match, the result can turn around in a single over. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. BPL is especially popular among Bangladeshi fans.
50-over cricket. The balance of pace and strategy matters more here. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in the ODI format. The Bangladesh Tigers' performance is always a main talking point.
Five days of long-form cricket. Wickets, pitch conditions and weather play a big role in Test betting markets. The result can also be a draw — that is one key difference from T20 or ODI.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
At ek333 you can also bet on football and other sports alongside cricket. A draw is possible in football, so the market structure is different from cricket — a three-way market (Team A wins / Draw / Team B wins) is the norm. In limited-overs cricket there are usually only two possible outcomes.
Football runs over a long season with leagues — so there are more opportunities for season-long markets and multi bets. Cricket tends to be tournament-based with more matches, and you can bet on several games within a single series. Both sports have in-play betting, but in cricket odds move quickly with each wicket that falls.

Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
-
Outcome types Limited-overs cricket has two outcomes; football has three (win, draw, loss).
-
In-play pace In cricket, odds change with every over and wicket.
-
Tournament vs League BPL and the T20 World Cup are short; football leagues run long-term.
-
Specialist markets Cricket has Toss, Top Batsman and Maiden Over markets — these do not exist in football.
Popular Betting Markets with Brief Examples
At ek333 you can bet on various markets in cricket matches. Seven popular markets are briefly described below. Remember — betting is for entertainment; there is no guarantee of profit.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In limited overs there are two options: Team A or Team B. Example: if you select Team A as the winner, your bet wins if Team A wins.
Toss Betting
A bet on the toss result before the match starts. Two options — Team A or Team B wins the toss. Example: if you pick Team B in the toss market, your bet wins if Team B wins the toss.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a given team. Example: selecting who will score the highest runs for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set target. Example: whether an innings will produce more than 160 runs — if you choose 'Over', your bet wins if the innings reaches 161 or more.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple bets into one — you only receive the total return if all selections are correct. Example: combining three bets across three separate matches multiplies the odds, but if even one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Market
A run advantage or deficit is given to one team to level the contest between two unevenly matched sides. Example: if Team A is given a 15-run advantage, the result is judged after adding the handicap.
Series Winner
A bet placed in advance on which team will win an entire series. Example: if you bet on Team A to win a five-match series, your bet wins if Team A wins more matches by the end of the series. Odds in this market change with the result of each match.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
At ek333 and any sportsbook, odds are shown in three common formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same thing; only the way they are written differs.
Below, the same price is shown in all three formats with an example. A ৳200 bet is placed on Team A to win:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Bet × 3 = total return. ৳200 × 3 = ৳600 back (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. ৳200 stake returns ৳400 profit, total ৳600. |
| American | +200 | A plus sign shows profit on a ৳100 bet. +200 means a ৳200 bet returns ৳400 profit. |
If you lose, the full ৳200 is gone — that is important to keep in mind.
Understanding a Favourite's Price
When one team is the clear favourite, its odds are lower. Example: betting on Team B to win (Team B is the favourite):
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 in total (৳160 profit). |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked. |
| American | -125 | A minus sign shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. Here, a ৳125 bet returns ৳100 profit. |
Lower odds on the favourite means a lower return — but the market considers them more likely to win. This calculation always depends on the stake; it is not a guarantee of any specific return.

How Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Live betting or in-play betting means placing bets while the game is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because odds change instantly with every event.
-
When a wicket falls The batting team's odds lengthen because they are weakened. The market rates the bowling team's chances of winning higher.
-
When a big over is scored If 15–20 runs come off one over, the batting team's odds shorten and the target becomes easier.
-
Maiden over With no runs scored, the bowling team increases the pressure — this is reflected in the market.
-
After the Powerplay The market is reset based on the run-rate position after the Powerplay ends.
A fast internet connection is important for live betting. Live odds are easier to follow using the ek333 mobile app.
Things to Keep in Mind When Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind makes for a more measured experience.
-
Set your budget first Decide how much you are going to bet before you start — this is an entertainment budget, not an investment.
-
Understand the format before choosing a market Wickets fall quickly in T20, so wicket markets are active. Run markets are more stable in ODI.
-
Bet with awareness, not emotion Supporting a team does not mean betting on that team is the right call — check the market odds.
-
Do not chase losses Placing bigger bets to recover losses after losing can make things worse.
-
Responsible Betting Betting is not a source of income. For responsible play, read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.

How to Calculate a Multi Bet
In a multi bet combining several selections, odds are multiplied — so the return can be higher, but every selection must be correct.
Example: Three-match multi bet
| Selection | Decimal Odds |
|---|---|
| Match 1 — Team A wins | 1.50 |
| Match 2 — Team B wins | 1.60 |
| Match 3 — Team A wins | 1.90 |
| Total combined odds | 4.56 |
1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approx.). A ৳100 bet returns ৳456 in total if all three selections are correct. But if even one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
