Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments

Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI, and Test — each have a different pace and strategy, and from a betting perspective, each has its own character.

T20: The fastest format. Odds shift every over. T20 betting is especially popular in BPL and IPL. With the match decided in just 20 overs, there are more opportunities for live betting.

ODI: In a 50-over match, strategy changes between the first and second halves. Mid-match run rate and powerplay performance directly affect the odds. This format is the main draw in ICC tournaments and bilateral series.

Test: A five-day match; pitch behaviour, weather, and the form of top-order batsmen play a major role in betting markets. With odds shifting session by session, it offers a different experience for patient bettors.

The T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, BPL, and IPL are the tournaments where the most markets are open on megapari live.

Betting on Football and Other Sports

At megapari live, you can bet on football alongside cricket. Markets such as match winner, handicap, and goal totals are available for competitions like the Premier League, La Liga, and the AFC Cup.

There are a few key differences between cricket and football betting. In cricket, every wicket, over, and powerplay has an immediate effect on the odds. In football, the timing of goals, red cards, and substitutions are the main drivers of odds changes. Sports like tennis, badminton, and kabaddi have comparatively fewer markets, but live odds shift with the outcome of each set.

Before betting on any sport, it is important to understand its rules and scoring system. This makes it easier to read the markets and understand how each bet works. For more detail, you can read our Betting Tips and Strategy Guide.

Popular Betting Markets — What You Can Bet On in Cricket


Cricket betting is not just about "who will win" — you can also place bets on smaller events within the match. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used markets.

Match Winner

A bet on the direct result — which team will win the match.

Example: If you bet on Team A to win and they do, you receive a return based on the set odds; if they lose, your stake is deducted.

Toss Winner

A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts.

Example: Since both teams have a roughly equal chance of winning the toss, odds are generally close; this is suited for small, quick bets.

Top Batsman

Which batsman will score the most runs for their team.

Example: Which batsman will be the top scorer for Team A — pitch conditions, wicket situation, and batting order all play a role.

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether the total runs in a set number of overs or a full innings will be above or below a specified number.

Example: Whether total runs in the first 10 overs will exceed 70 — powerplay performance is the key factor here.

Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)

Combining the outcomes of multiple matches or markets into a single bet.

Example: If three separate selections have odds of 1.60, 1.80, and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately); a ৳100 bet returns ৳547 if all three are correct — but losing just one means losing the whole bet.

Wicket Market

How many wickets will fall in a specific powerplay or innings.

Example: Whether more than 2 wickets will fall in the first powerplay — this depends on the form of the top batsmen and the pitch assistance available to pace bowlers.

How to Read Odds — Three Formats


Odds on betting sites appear in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability in different ways. Below are straightforward examples to explain each.

Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats

A ৳1,000 bet placed on Team A to win:

Format Odds What it means
Decimal 2.50 Total return including stake is 2.5 times the bet
Fractional 3/2 ৳3 profit on a ৳2 bet
American +150 ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet

If Team A wins, the total return on a ৳1,000 bet is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000 stake); if they lose, ৳1,000 is deducted.

Example 2 — Favourite's Odds

Team B to win — a favourite's odds are generally lower:

Format Odds What it means
Decimal 1.80 Total return including stake is 1.8 times the bet
Fractional 4/5 ৳4 profit on a ৳5 bet
American −125 ৳100 profit on a ৳125 bet (the minus sign means this is the amount you must stake)

If Team B wins, the total return on a ৳1,000 bet is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit); if they lose, ৳1,000 is deducted.

Remember: All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. You can select your preferred format in the settings on megapari live.
American Odds: A "+" sign means the underdog — how much profit on a ৳100 bet. A "−" sign means the favourite — how much you need to stake to win ৳100.

Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over


In-play betting means placing bets in real time while the match is in progress. In cricket, the situation changes with every ball — a falling wicket can instantly push up the chasing team's odds, while a big six can bring down the bowling team's odds.

Example: Team B is chasing 150 runs in 20 overs. After 10 overs they have scored 60 runs and lost 3 wickets — at this point Team B's odds of winning will increase because the situation has become more difficult. If two boundaries come in the next over, the odds will adjust again.

In-play betting requires quick decisions. Observing pitch behaviour, wind direction, and bowling changes helps you read the market better. Keep in mind that in-play odds update very quickly, so pay close attention to the odds shown on screen before confirming a bet.

To enjoy live betting you need a fast internet connection and an up-to-date browser or app. Using the megapari live Android and iOS app makes live betting more convenient on mobile.

Practical Tips — Know Before You Start Betting


  • Understand the format before you bet. Scores rise quickly in T20, so over/under markets move faster. In Test matches, session-based markets may be more useful.
  • Set a budget. Cricket betting is for entertainment — only spend what you can afford to lose without affecting your household. It is wise to read the Responsible Gaming Guidelines.
  • Be careful with multi bets. Odds multiply across selections, but losing just one means the whole bet is lost. If you want to try a multi bet, start with fewer selections.
  • Keep the pitch report in mind. Spinners benefit from dry pitches, pacers from green ones. This directly affects the top batsman and wicket markets.
  • Do not rush in live betting. Odds change fast in-play. Before placing a bet, confirm that the odds are what you expect.
  • Know the rules and terms. For a clear understanding of betting rules, payout calculations, and bonus conditions, it is worth reading the Terms and Conditions once.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cricket Betting


T20 generally has the most markets — especially in popular tournaments like BPL and IPL. Markets such as match winner, toss, powerplay runs, total sixes, and live in-play are most active in this format. ODI and Test also cover the main markets, though Test matches tend to feature more session-based markets.

In cricket, every ball is an event — a wicket, four, six, wide, or dot ball. Each event shifts both teams' chances of winning, so odds update instantly. A fast internet connection makes it easier to track these changes in real time.

Placing a ৳1,000 bet at decimal odds of 2.50 gives a total return of ৳2,500 if you win — that is ৳1,500 profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake. The simple rule: multiply your stake by the decimal odds to get the total return. If you lose, the full stake is deducted.

A multi bet can include multiple selections, and the odds of each are multiplied together. If three selections have odds of 1.60, 1.80, and 1.90, the combined odds are 5.47 (approximately). Keep in mind — the more selections you add, the greater the risk, because losing just one means losing the entire bet.

In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a virtual head start or the stronger team is set back, so the odds are brought closer together. For example, if Team A is given a −10 run handicap, 10 runs are deducted from their final score to determine the betting result — this applies only to the bet, not the actual match.

If a match is abandoned or the scheduled overs are reduced due to rain or any other reason, some bets may be voided or resettled according to the site's rules. If the match reaches a result — including via the Duckworth-Lewis method — bets generally stand. Check the Terms and Conditions for specific rules.
