Three Cricket Formats and Where to Bet
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to understand the differences between formats. Each format has its own match dynamics, scoring patterns and market structure, so your approach needs to change accordingly.
T20 — Fast-Paced Betting
Just 20 overs of play. Results can turn on any ball, making this the most active format for live betting. BPL and IPL are played in this format, which is the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI — 50-Over Strategy
In a one-day international, the pace of scoring and wickets across 50 overs both matter. The ICC World Cup is played in this format. The middle overs play a particularly important role when analysing markets.
Test — The Patience Game
In five-day Test cricket, a draw is a valid result, so there are three result markets — Team A win, Team B win, and draw. There is more room to think through the pitch conditions, weather, and batting and bowling depth before placing a bet.
BPL, IPL and International Tournaments
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league — every season it draws interest across the country as local teams compete. IPL is India's biggest T20 competition, where the best players in the world take the field. The T20 World Cup and other ICC events give fans a chance to follow the Bangladesh Tigers on the international stage.
You can bet on matches from all these tournaments at golry. Separate markets are created for each match, covering everything from the toss to the Man of the Match.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Alongside cricket, golry also offers betting on football. Football commonly features match winner, goalscorer and handicap markets. The key difference from cricket is the scoring pace and the likelihood of a draw — a 0-0 draw is very common in football, but a tie in T20 cricket is extremely rare.
In cricket, odds can shift after every ball, especially when a wicket falls or a big over is bowled. In football, with long stretches between goals, live odds tend to be relatively stable. Football market analysis usually relies on recent team form and the starting lineup, while in cricket the pitch report and toss decision also play a big part.
If you are interested in card games, golry has a dedicated page for European Blackjack where the rules and strategy are covered in detail.
Cricket vs Football — Market Comparison
- Cricket has a separate market structure for each of its three formats
- Football is led by match winner, handicap and goalscorer markets
- In T20 cricket, live odds change quickly on every ball
- A draw is valid in football — there are no draws in T20 or ODI cricket
- In Test cricket you can bet by session, day and overall result
- Multi bets with multiple selections are possible in both sports
golry Cricket's 6 Popular Markets
Each market works differently — some bettors place their bets from the start of a match, others wait for a live opportunity. The markets below are generally available at golry.
Match Winner
Which team will win? In T20 and ODI there are only two results — Team A or Team B. This is the most straightforward market. Example: Team A odds 1.65, Team B odds 2.30 — if you pick Team B and they win, you receive the full return.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — odds for both sides are usually close to even since it is purely down to chance. Popular for a quick decision.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a given team? Decisions in this market are made by looking at the form of openers or reliable middle-order batters.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the combined runs of both teams go over or under a set number? Example: line is 315.5 — if you think total runs will exceed 315, bet Over.
Multi Bet
Pick multiple matches or markets and place them in one bet. You win only if every selection is correct, but because the odds multiply, the potential return is larger. Example: 3 selections at 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 combined odds.
Man of the Match
Which player will win the Man of the Match award? Several players are listed in this market. A player expected to perform well will have lower odds, but picking an unexpected name can bring a bigger return.
Odds in Three Formats — Explained with Simple Examples
There are three main ways odds are written — Decimal, Fractional and American. golry generally uses the decimal format, but knowing the differences makes it easier to read any market.
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats (Team A win, stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If Team A wins, a ৳200 stake returns ৳600 in total (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). If they lose, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds (Team B win, stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Return (if Team B wins) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳360 (৳160 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | A ৳125 stake is needed to make ৳100 profit |
A favourite's odds are usually below 2.00 — the profit is smaller, but the team is considered more likely to win.
Multi Bet Example
3 selections: 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (combined odds). A ৳100 stake returns ৳513 if all come through. But if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost — this is a higher-risk way to bet.
Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Move with Wickets and Overs
In-play or live betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. In T20, odds update instantly after every wicket and every big six. When the batting team is under pressure, their odds to win lengthen, and when the batters are doing well, those odds shorten.
Take this example: Team A made a good start in the first 10 overs, but then lost 3 wickets in the 11th over. At that moment, Team B's odds to win will shorten noticeably because the momentum has shifted.
Decisions in live betting need to be made quickly. Live odds are visible on mobile through the golry platform, making it a good fit for anyone who wants to bet while watching the match. You can access live markets easily on mobile using the golry App.
What Changes in Live Betting
- Match winner odds for both teams update after every wicket
- After the powerplay, the total runs line moves based on the run rate
- Once the batting team gets closer to the target, the odds shift as their pressure eases
- In the death overs (16-20), the score depends heavily on the finishers
- In Test matches, end-of-day markets also update at the close of each session
