5666bet Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most beloved sport. At 5666bet you can bet on all three formats — T20, ODI and Test. Multiple markets are open for every match, from Match Winner and Top Batsman to Over/Under and multi bets.
Three cricket formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
Before you start betting on cricket, it helps to understand the differences between formats — T20, ODI and Test matches each have a different pace, number of markets and type of odds. 5666bet offers betting on all three formats.
Twenty20
Just 20 overs per innings — the fastest format. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Live betting odds change over by over, making T20 the most active format for betting markets.
One-Day International
50-over matches — slower than T20 but more tactical. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Because of the longer innings, total runs and batsman performance markets are the most popular here.
Test Cricket
The longest format — five days of play and the highest level of the game. A draw is possible, so there are three outcomes (win, loss and draw), unlike ODI or T20. Test match betting markets also include session-based betting options.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) season is the most anticipated time of year. Alongside it, interest peaks around IPL matches from India and Bangladesh Tigers games in the international T20 World Cup.
At 5666bet, you can bet on all these tournaments both before a match starts (pre-match) and while it is in progress (live). Cricket offers more markets than football or other sports because every over, wicket and batsman performance creates its own market.
Football typically offers Match Winner, goalscorer and handicap markets, with 90 minutes of play. Cricket is far broader, with betting opportunities coming from both batting and bowling sides of the game.
Popular cricket betting markets and how they work
At 5666bet, cricket betting is not limited to just "who will win." Multiple markets are open for every match — understanding each one individually makes betting more engaging.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which of the two teams will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are no draws, so there are only two possible outcomes. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, bet on Team B. If Team B wins you win; if Team A wins you lose the bet.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the coin toss before the match begins. This has nothing to do with the match result — only the toss outcome decides it. A popular market for short-term betting.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. You can pick a batter from either team. The form of each team's main batters and the nature of the pitch play an important role here.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in an entire innings or a set number of overs will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a given number. Example: runs in the first 6 overs Over/Under 55.5 — if you think more than 55 runs will be scored, bet Over.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
A single bet that combines results from several matches or events. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together and the return increases — but if even one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost. A detailed example is given in the Odds Guide section below.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Whether you choose a pace bowler or a spinner depends on the pitch conditions and the weather.
Innings Runs and Powerplay Score
Separate bets on the total runs for an entire innings or just the powerplay overs (usually the first 6 overs). The powerplay market is popular in T20 format because the opening overs set the tone for the rest of the match.
How to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Betting sites display three types of odds. At 5666bet you can choose your preferred odds format, but they all express the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Say you are backing Team A to win — ৳1,000 stake. Odds shown in three formats:
| Format | Odds | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳2.50 returned for every ৳1 staked (profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
A winning ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
If Team B is the favourite the odds would be: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100. A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳1,500 (৳500 profit + original stake).
Multi bet example
Three selections: odds 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximate). A ৳100 stake returns ৳426 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Higher odds mean a higher potential return — but the chance of winning is correspondingly lower. Betting is entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
Live in-play betting while the match is on
Live betting makes cricket even more engaging. Odds shift instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit. The 5666bet live betting platform keeps markets open throughout the match.
What happens when a wicket falls
When a key batsman is dismissed, that team's odds of winning shorten and the opponent's odds lengthen. The live market gives you the opportunity to adjust your bet at that very moment.
How odds change as overs progress
As the required run rate rises in the final overs, the batting team's odds move accordingly. A significant odds shift can also occur once the powerplay ends.
It is important to stay calm when making decisions during live betting. Situations change quickly — watch the market carefully and stay within your set budget. For more on responsible betting, read our Responsible Gaming page.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
Where cricket leaves off, the other sports begin. 5666bet also offers football betting, though there are some differences from cricket.
Football Betting
Football offers Match Winner, correct score, both teams to score (BTTS) and handicap markets. Draws are possible, so there are usually three outcomes — win, loss and draw. Matches last 90 minutes, so the number of live markets is smaller than in cricket.
Other Sports
5666bet offers betting on kabaddi, badminton and several other sports. Each sport has its own market structure, but the basic principle is the same: understand the odds, set a budget, then place your bet.
Sports vs Casino
Sports betting and casino are two different experiences. Sports betting is based on match outcomes, while the casino features slots, live casino and card games. Full details on live casino and slot games are available at 5666bet Casino.
Useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — not a guaranteed route to profit. The tips below help keep your betting organised.
Set a budget first
Decide on a fixed budget for each match or each week before you start. Never go beyond that budget — including the temptation to increase it after a win.
Focus on one market
If you are new, start by concentrating on just the Match Winner or Total Runs Over/Under market. It is better not to place bets across too many markets at once.
Understand the format
Run-scoring patterns differ between T20, ODI and Test matches. The same team's performance can vary considerably when the format changes.
Be patient with live betting
Odds move fast in live betting. Rather than making quick decisions, watch how the match develops for a moment before placing your bet.
