Cricket betting at six666 — top market guide for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
six666 cricket betting makes Bangladesh's favourite sport even more engaging. From match winner to live in-play — every ball brings a new possibility.
Cricket's three formats and the leagues most popular with Bangladeshi fans
Understanding cricket betting starts with knowing the formats. The three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own style of play and their own betting markets.
T20 is the fastest format. Each team plays only 20 overs, so scores are higher, wickets fall more frequently and the momentum of a match can shift very quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are both played in this format — and it is the most popular among Dhaka fans. Dhaka fans have a particular interest in betting on Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup at six666.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is 50 overs per side. Strategy matters more here — maintaining the run rate through the middle overs or playing explosively at the end are both important. ICC international series are mainly played in ODI format.
Test cricket lasts five days and is the longest format. Match winner and draw markets run alongside each other here. Because of the length, odds shift repeatedly, making live betting more interesting.
The difference in betting between football and other sports
At six666 you can bet on football as well as cricket, but the structure of betting differs considerably between the two. In cricket there are usually two outcomes — team A wins or team B wins (no draw in T20 or ODI); in Test a draw is also a possible result. In football there are three outcomes — win, loss or draw — so the odds are spread across three possibilities.
Because the number of balls in cricket is fixed, markets on total runs or wickets are very broad. In football, markets such as goal totals, half-time/full-time result or number of corners are common.
For anyone looking for entertainment beyond cricket and football, six666 also offers slot games and other casino options. The entire platform can be used from a single account.
Popular markets in cricket betting with examples
Each market answers a specific question — it is important to understand that question clearly before placing a bet.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes, making this the simplest market. If you bet on team A and team A wins, you profit; if they do not win, the stake is lost.
SimplestToss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. It has no direct connection to match performance, but some bettors choose this market based on pitch conditions.
Pre-match MarketTop Batsman
You need to pick in advance which batsman within a specific team will score the most runs. For example, who will be the highest scorer in team A — that is the question this bet answers.
Player-basedTotal Runs Over / Under
The platform sets a specific run total — for example 160. You bet on whether the actual runs scored will be more (over) or fewer (under) than that figure. This market can apply to the combined total of both teams or to a single team's innings.
Number-basedMulti Bet
Combining bets from multiple matches into one. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied, giving a much higher return — but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. For example, betting on three separate matches at odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 gives combined odds of 4.59, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳459 — but only if all three are correct.
High ReturnHighest Opening Partnership
A bet on which team's opening pair will add more runs together. This differs from the match winner market because only the runs scored at the start of an innings count — not the full innings.
Innings-basedDecimal, fractional and American — three types of odds
The same value can be written in three ways. Once you understand how odds are calculated, it becomes easy to work out potential returns yourself.
| Format | Example Value | Return on a ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳1,500 — same value, different way of writing it |
| American | +200 | ৳1,500 — a positive figure shows profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1: ৳500 bet on team A to win — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. If team A wins, total return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit plus ৳500 stake returned). If they lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2: Favourite team B to win at decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. The negative American figure (-400) means you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100. A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (৳125 profit).
All three formats carry the same information — only the way it is expressed differs. Decimal odds are used most at six666 because they are the easiest to read and understand.
In-play betting — new odds with every wicket
How live betting works
The ability to place bets while a match is in progress is called in-play betting. Odds set before the match begin changing as soon as play starts — they are updated after every wicket, every big shot and every over.
Take a T20 match where team A has lost 4 wickets in the 15th over and their run rate has fallen behind what is needed. At that moment team A's odds of winning will lengthen and team B's odds will shorten. Based on these changes, new bets can be placed in the live market.
In ODI this pattern plays out over a longer period — odds can shift many times across 50 overs. In Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and batting situations update odds continuously over five days.
Betting Exchange Market
Some markets offer both BACK and LAY options. BACK means betting in favour of an outcome — team A wins. LAY means betting against it — team A does not win. Example: team A at decimal odds of 2.00. A ৳500 BACK bet wins ৳500 if team A wins and loses ৳500 if they do not. A ৳500 LAY bet wins ৳500 if team A does not win, but pays out ৳500 if they do (minus commission).
Things to keep in mind with live betting
- Odds change fast — there is little time to decide
- Bet based on the live score, not on guesswork
- Odds can shift significantly at the end of the powerplay and during the death overs
- If a match is shortened by rain, different rules may apply
- Betting is for entertainment — keep every bet within a budget decided in advance
A few things to keep in mind when betting on cricket
Understand the format before betting
Scoring 15–20 runs in a single over is not unusual in T20. In ODI the run rate builds up gradually. Betting on total runs without understanding the format increases the chance of making mistakes.
Set a budget in advance
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — profits cannot be guaranteed. Decide how much you are willing to spend each session and stick to that limit. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will give you more detail on informed betting.
Try different markets
Rather than only betting on the match winner, try markets such as the toss, total runs or top batsman. Odds are structured differently across different markets.
