Cricket betting at sixer — place bets across every format from T20 to Test
Make every moment of BPL, IPL and international cricket more engaging. sixer's cricket betting section offers a wide range of options from match winner to in-play markets.
Three cricket formats and major competitions
Every cricket format is different — strategy, duration and betting markets all vary across the three. At sixer you can bet on all three formats.
T20 — the fastest format
This 20-over format is the most popular among bettors. The situation changes with every ball, so in-play markets are at their most active here. BPL and IPL are the two tournaments most talked about among Bangladeshi cricket fans. During the T20 World Cup, participation in sixer's betting section increases significantly.
ODI — balanced cricket
In a 50-over match, both batting and bowling matter equally. Markets such as total runs over/under and top batsman are played more here. Bangladesh Tigers matches in ICC tournaments create particular interest.
Test — the most demanding format
This five-day format has long-term markets such as series winner or match result depending on the teams. Because a draw is possible, you can bet on three outcomes here — unlike T20 or ODI where there are only two.
Popular betting markets — what to bet and where
sixer is not limited to just who will win. Multiple types of markets are open for each match, each with its own approach.
Match Winner
Straightforward — which team will win? In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes; in Test there are three (Team A, Team B or draw). Example: if you bet on Team A to win, you lose the bet if Team B wins, and you win if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss — this market closes before the match begins. Since it is a 50-50 chance, the odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match? Example: instead of a particular player from Team A, you bet that the top batter from Team B will score the most runs.
Total Runs Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. The pitch, weather and the batting depth of the teams all influence this market.
Multi Bet
A multi bet is formed by combining selections from several matches. Example: if you pick three teams across three different matches, the odds are multiplied — but if any one result is wrong, you lose the entire bet.
Over-by-Over Markets
How many runs will be scored in the next over, when will the next wicket fall — these smaller markets open during the match and close quickly. They are especially popular with active bettors.
Betting on football and other sports
sixer is not limited to cricket. Football — especially international leagues and national team matches — is the second most popular betting sport in Bangladesh. The main difference between football and cricket is that a draw is possible in almost every football match, so markets are always split across three outcomes.
Handicap markets are more common in football — a goal handicap is applied to the stronger team to bring the odds of both sides closer together. In cricket, this concept exists as a run handicap.
Tennis, kabaddi and virtual sports are also available as options. However, cricket remains the first choice among Bangladeshi bettors — especially in the T20 format.
Enjoy betting as entertainment and always stay within an affordable budget. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will help keep your betting experience in order.
Decimal, fractional and American — read odds easily
Odds are written in three formats, but the core idea is one — how much will you get back if the bet wins. The two examples below will make this clear.
Example 1 — the same price in three formats
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 |
| Fractional | 2/1 |
| American | +200 |
If the bet wins, ৳3,000 is returned (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — price for the favourite
Team B has a higher chance of winning, so the price is lower:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 1/4 |
| American | -400 |
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if it wins (profit of only ৳250). American minus odds mean how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — in this case ৳400.
Remember: The decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the odds figure by your stake to get the total return. The other two formats are mainly used in British and American markets.
Wickets fall, overs end — in-play odds change instantly
Live in-play betting suits cricket best. During a match, every wicket, every big shot or bad over changes the odds. If one team scores 60 runs in 5 overs, their odds of winning shorten while the other team's lengthen.
Participating in in-play markets requires quick decisions. Markets sometimes close for a short period — such as when the ball is in play or during a technical review. This is normal.
sixer's mobile platform is convenient for in-play betting. To learn about the app, visit the sixer App page. Following the live score while placing bets makes watching the match more enjoyable.
Keep in mind though — live betting moves fast, so it is better to set a budget in advance. Rather than placing large bets on impulse, play with small, fixed amounts.
Some tips for more planned betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping that in mind makes for a much better experience.
- Set a fixed budget and do not exceed it — trying to recover losses by placing larger bets usually leads to even greater losses.
- Multi bets can bring higher returns, but the risk is also higher — every selection must be correct, and a single wrong pick loses the whole bet.
- Keeping the pitch conditions, weather and each team's recent form in mind makes it easier to read the markets — though in cricket any result is possible.
- In-play betting comes with time pressure — rather than rushing, only take part in markets you understand.
- Starting with straightforward markets such as toss winner or match winner helps you gradually get to grips with more complex markets.
- You will find answers to many common questions about betting on the FAQ page.
