1x beat Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
1x beat brings cricket fans in Bangladesh a wide range of markets covering BPL, IPL, and international matches. Place your bets before the match or live — whenever you want.
Cricket formats and which tournaments are most popular for betting
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has a different style of betting because the pace and range of possible results vary.
T20: The fastest format. In this 20-over game a wicket or six can happen on any delivery, so live odds shift every moment. BPL and the T20 World Cup draw the biggest response among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: The pace of a fifty-over match is relatively steady, giving more room to study targets, run rates, and partnerships before placing a bet. ODI markets are especially active during major tournaments like the ICC World Cup.
Test: In this five-day format, pitch character and weather play an important role. A draw is a possible result, so three separate options are available — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
IPL is also hugely popular in Bangladesh. With top cricketers from around the world playing together and a high number of matches, the betting markets are varied.
Beyond cricket — how football and other sports differ for betting
While cricket is the main attraction at 1x beat, markets for football and other sports are available too. Football markets around the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League are quite active in Bangladesh.
Two key differences stand out between cricket and football betting. First, a draw is a common result in football, so the match winner market offers three options — whereas T20 or ODI cricket has just two. Second, cricket has innings breaks and over-by-over statistical markets that are generally not found in football.
Betting is also available on kabaddi, tennis, and basketball — each sport has its own market structure, so it is worth understanding the format before placing a bet.
Cricket vs Football — at a glance
- T20/ODI Cricket — only 2 outcomes (win/loss)
- Test Cricket — 3 outcomes (win/loss/draw)
- Football — 3 outcomes (win/loss/draw)
- Cricket has more over-by-over and wicket-based markets
- Half-time/full-time markets are popular in football
Popular cricket betting markets and examples
1x beat offers many types of cricket betting markets. Below is a brief overview of seven commonly used ones.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: choose either Team A or Team B — if you are right, you win; if not, the stake is lost.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is decided the moment the toss takes place, making this one of the fastest-settling markets.
Top Run Scorer
A bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs in the match. The team's batting order and pitch conditions are worth considering.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run total — choose whether the match's combined runs will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that number.
Multi Bet
Combining bets from several matches multiplies the odds. Get all of them right and the return is larger; get even one wrong and the entire stake is lost.
Top Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Understanding the pitch type and the opposition's batting lineup makes this market easier to follow.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds at 1x beat are generally shown in three formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Price for Team A to win | Price for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If you win, you receive ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100).
If you win, you receive ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
In American odds, a plus (+) shows how much you win on a ৳100 stake, while a minus (−) shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit. For those new to cricket betting, the decimal format is the most straightforward.
Live in-play betting — odds change with every wicket and over
In-play betting adds a new dimension to cricket. Odds shift with every wicket, boundary, end of the powerplay, or start of the death overs during a match.
For example: if Team A scores 50 runs in the first five overs without losing a wicket, their odds to win will shorten (meaning they become the favourite). Conversely, losing two quick wickets causes the odds to lengthen.
In-play markets are most active in T20, where the game moves quickly and situations can change in a short time. In ODIs, the innings break offers a chance to review mid-match odds and get a better sense of the second innings market.
At 1x beat, the W Live section has live sports markets alongside live casino games, with real-time odds updates.
Some useful pointers for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income. Keeping the following in mind will make the experience better.
Understand the format first
Learn the rules and market differences across T20, ODI, and Test — the markets that work well are different for each format.
Set a budget
Keep a separate budget for each match. Never bet money that you cannot afford to lose.
Focus on one market
Start with straightforward markets like Match Winner or Total Runs. Trying to cover too many at once leads to confusion.
Play responsibly
Betting is for enjoyment, not for stress. If you feel you are going beyond your limits, read the responsible gaming guidelines and take a break.
