Cricket Formats and Tournaments
For anyone interested in cricket betting, the first thing to understand is that markets and strategies differ depending on the format. International and domestic cricket is played in three main formats: T20, ODI and Test.
T20 is the shortest format — each team bats for just 20 overs. Results can change quickly in this format, so live betting is most active here. In ODI, each side plays 50 overs and the match finishes in one day. Test cricket is the longest format — matches last up to five days, draws are possible, and the betting markets are different as a result.
On the tournament side, Bangladesh fans follow BPL most closely. Betting markets are busiest around matches in this tournament, where teams combine local and overseas stars. IPL and the T20 World Cup are also very popular among Bangladeshi bettors. On the international stage, Bangladesh Tigers matches naturally attract the most local interest.
Football and Other Sports Betting
12bang is not limited to cricket. Football — particularly European leagues, the FIFA World Cup and AFC tournaments — has become widely popular in Bangladesh, and this platform offers a range of markets for football betting too.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is the range of possible outcomes. In football a draw is also a possible result, so odds are generally split three ways: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. In T20 cricket draws do not normally happen, so the market is limited to two outcomes. In Test cricket a draw is again possible, so three outcomes are considered there as well, just as in football.
Betting markets are also available for badminton, table tennis and e-sports, but cricket is the main focus on this site given the preferences of Bangladeshi users.
Format Comparison
Popular Betting Markets
There are many types of markets available for cricket betting. The most common ones are briefly described below.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win — the most straightforward market in cricket. Pick Team A or Team B, whichever you think has the better chance.
Most popularToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely random, so odds are almost equal. A simple market — bet within your means.
Short marketTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs. One player is selected from within a team — the more competitors there are, the more attractive the odds can be.
Player marketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run target — for example 160 runs. You predict whether the total runs scored in the innings will be over or under that figure.
Totals marketMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches multiplies the odds together. Placing bets at odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 across three matches gives a combined odds of 5.81 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳581 if all win. However, if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
High riskHandicap and Spread
A handicap levels the bet by giving the weaker team an advantage or the stronger team a disadvantage. Example: if Team A is given a 20-run handicap, they must win by more than that margin.
HandicapHow to Read Odds
Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. Decimal odds are most familiar on platforms used in Bangladesh. The same format can be used on 12bang.
The examples below show all three formats together:
With decimal odds, calculating the total return is simple: stake × odds = total return. With fractional odds, 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. In American format, a + sign shows how much profit a ৳100 bet makes; a − sign shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Cricket match example: In an ODI match, Team A's odds are 2.10 and Team B's odds are 1.75. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳1,750 if it wins (৳750 profit); if Team A wins, the full ৳1,000 is lost. This is an illustrative example only — there is no guarantee of winning any specific amount.
Betting is a form of entertainment. Only bet what you can afford to lose. For more information on responsible betting, read our responsible gaming guide.
Live In-Play Betting
In-play betting lets you place bets after a match has already started. In cricket this is particularly interesting, because odds shift instantly with every wicket, every six and at the end of every powerplay.
For example: if Team A loses 3 wickets quickly in the 10th over of a T20 match, the odds on Team B winning shorten (because they are ahead at that point). Bettors can make decisions based on how the situation looks at that moment.
Keep in mind with live betting: odds change fast, so it is better not to rush into big decisions. Get familiar with this feature by starting with small bets once you understand the flow of the match.
Alongside in-play betting, 12bang's 12bang Bet section brings together various sports betting options in one place.
