Cricket's Three Formats and Major Competitions
Much of the appeal of cricket betting depends on which format the match is played in. Each format has its own pace, tactics and uncertainty — and that uncertainty is what makes betting interesting.
T20: In this twenty-over format, the result can swing at any moment. BPL and IPL are the two most popular competitions in this format, which Bangladeshi fans have been following with great enthusiasm year after year. Bangladesh Tigers' campaign in the T20 World Cup naturally draws the most attention.
ODI: In fifty-over one-day cricket, the shape of an innings and the tactics in the middle overs give betting markets a different character. ICC tournaments and bilateral series offer plenty of options for betting on ODI matches.
Test: Five-day Test cricket is the most analytical side of cricket betting. Here, markets are built by combining weather, pitch conditions and team lineups. A draw is a possible result, so the odds and market structure differ from T20 or ODI.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
At ace, you can bet on football and various other sports alongside cricket. However, the betting structure is different for each sport.
In football, the match winner market typically has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This three-way result means football's odds structure differs from limited-overs cricket. A T20 match generally cannot end in a draw, so the odds are split between just two sides.
In other sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi, betting markets are usually straightforward — a direct contest between two competitors. However, cricket has markets for top batsman, top bowler and runs in a specific over that offer a level of variety rarely seen in other sports.
Beyond sports betting, ace's ace Casino has a large collection of live casino, slots and card games — plenty of other entertainment options alongside sport.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
The variety of betting markets in a cricket match is one of its most appealing aspects. Below are seven main markets with brief explanations.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match? Team A or Team B? In T20 or ODI, there is generally no draw, so you bet between two sides.
Simple MarketToss Winner
Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts — will Team A or Team B win it? It's a complete fifty-fifty chance, so odds are usually roughly equal.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in an innings? Knowing the team's batting order and pitch conditions makes it easier to choose a selection in this market.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in an innings or the whole match be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number? For example, betting on whether total runs in a T20 match will be over or under 160.
Runs MarketPowerplay Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (in T20 or ODI)? Pitch behaviour, the bowling attack and the batting order all play an important role in this market.
Over MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Bets Combined)
Multiple selections are combined and all the odds are multiplied. For example, three selections at odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 give combined odds of 4.32. However, if all selections are not correct, the entire stake is lost.
Multiple SelectionsMan of the Match
Who will be the best performer over the whole match? This market has many more competitors, so odds are generally higher, but it is also harder to predict. Both bowlers and batters can win the award — which sets it apart from other markets.
Odds in Three Formats — Three Ways to Show the Same Price
Betting odds are written in three different ways. All three express the same probability — only the notation differs. ace generally uses decimal format, but understanding all three makes reading betting markets easier.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Odds for Team B to Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to Win (Odds 2.50)
Team A's odds to win are 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional and +150 in American. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you receive ৳500 back (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B the Favourite (Odds 1.80)
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — 1.80 in decimal, 4/5 in fractional and -125 in American. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you receive ৳360 back (৳160 profit).
Multi Bet Example
With odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 on three selections, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct you get back ৳432. However, if any one of them is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. You can place bets after the match has started, and odds keep changing with every wicket, run and over.
Say the first team has made a strong start in the powerplay — 60 runs in 6 overs without losing a wicket. At that moment, the first team's odds in the match winner market will shorten and the second team's odds will lengthen. A live bettor can take advantage of this shift to place a bet.
Now say a team loses two wickets in a row. The picture changes within just two balls. Odds in in-play markets are adjusted immediately — it is this rapid change that makes live betting one of the most engaging cricket experiences.
In live betting, decision time is short, so it is important to set a budget beforehand. Visit ace's Responsible Gaming page for guidance on managing your budget and time.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — not as a profitable investment. Keeping the following tips in mind will help make your betting experience more disciplined.
Set Your Budget First
Before each session, decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing. Once you reach that limit, stop betting — chasing losses with larger bets is not a good habit.
Read the Markets Carefully
Before placing a bet, make sure you understand the rules of each market. Over/under, match winner and top batsman markets work differently — knowing the difference makes reading betting markets easier.
Focus on One Market
When starting out, avoid betting on too many markets at once. Focusing on one or two markets makes it easier both to understand and to enjoy your betting.
No Rushing in Live Betting
In in-play betting, odds change fast — so make decisions with a clear head, not on impulse. Assess the situation after each over, then place your bet.
Know the Rules and Terms
Before betting, it is important to read ace's Terms and Conditions. Bonus wagering requirements, withdrawal rules and other important information are explained in detail there.
Keep Selections Limited in Multi Bets
The more selections you add to a multi bet, the higher the potential return — but the lower the chance of winning. A multi bet with two or three selections is comparatively easier to manage.
