Understanding Cricket Betting Odds
1xBet displays odds in decimal format by default (e.g., 2.50). Here's how to read them:
| Odds Format | Example | Calculation | Profit on ৳1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal (European) | 2.50 | Stake × Odds | ৳1,500 (৳500 profit) |
| Decimal (Favourite) | 1.50 | Stake × Odds | ৳1,500 (৳500 profit) |
| High Value Odds | 5.00 | ৳1,000 × 5.00 | ৳5,000 (৳4,000 profit) |
The lower the odds, the more likely the bookmaker thinks the outcome is. Bangladesh at 1.25 means they're strong favourites. Bangladesh at 4.50 means they're underdogs.
Top Cricket Betting Markets on 1xBet
1. Match Winner (Most Popular)
Simply predict which team will win the match. For T20Is, this is usually a 2-way market (no draw in T20). For Tests, it's a 3-way market (Team A/Draw/Team B).
2. Top Run Scorer
Predict which player will score the most runs in the match or innings. This is a skill-based market where knowledge of current form and batting position gives you an advantage.
3. Over/Under Total Runs
The bookmaker sets a line (e.g., 160.5 total runs). You bet whether the actual runs will be Over or Under this line. Great for T20 matches where you can analyze pitch conditions and batting lineups.
4. First Wicket Method
How will the first wicket fall? Options: Bowled, LBW, Caught, Run Out, Stumped. Useful when you know a particular bowler is in form.
5. Player Performance Markets
Score: Will Player X score over/under 30.5 runs? Wickets: Will Bowler Y take over/under 1.5 wickets? These markets require the most cricket knowledge but offer the best value.
Live Cricket Betting Strategy
Live (in-play) betting is where experienced bettors make their biggest returns. Here are 5 proven live cricket betting strategies:
Strategy 1: Powerplay Momentum
If a team has a great powerplay (lots of boundaries, low wickets), their probability of a high total increases. Bet on "Over" in total runs markets immediately after the powerplay if the team has scored 50+ without losing more than 1 wicket.
Strategy 2: Key Wicket Trading
When a key batsman (captain, in-form player) gets out, the batting team's odds worsen immediately. If you backed the batting team earlier, consider using the cash-out feature to lock in partial profit, or hedge by betting on the bowling team.
Strategy 3: Dew Factor in Day-Night Matches
In day-night matches in South Asia (including Bangladesh), dew often appears in the second innings, making the ball difficult to grip. This helps the batting team. If you're watching a match and see dew developing, back the team batting second to perform better than their target suggests.
Strategy 4: Bangladesh Home Advantage
Bangladesh performs significantly better at home due to familiar conditions, slow pitches, and spin-friendly surfaces. When Bangladesh plays at Mirpur or Chattogram, their odds are often undervalued. Look for value in backing Bangladesh at home, especially against touring teams unfamiliar with local conditions.
Strategy 5: IPL Accumulator Bets
During IPL season, build accumulators combining multiple match outcomes from your research. A 4-match IPL accumulator at average odds of 1.85 pays out 11.7x your stake. Focus on matches with strong favorites and research each team's recent form.
