six6 gene Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets for T20, ODI and BPL Matches
six6 gene brings a detailed betting experience to cricket fans in Bangladesh. From match winner to top batsman — every ball brings a new opportunity.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket is the only sport played across three distinct formats — and the betting experience is completely different in each one.
T20: The fastest and most action-packed format. The situation can shift every over, so odds in live markets move constantly. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the top examples of this format. Bangladeshi fans naturally show the most interest in T20.
ODI: This fifty-over format allows more room for strategy. Batting partnerships, run rate and pitch conditions all influence the markets. ICC events and bilateral series are the main settings for ODI betting.
Test: In a five-day match, weather, changing pitch conditions and fatigue gradually affect the odds. Innings results and session markets are particularly popular in Test betting.
During BPL and IPL, six6 gene offers special markets, and ICC events have the widest range of live betting options.
How betting differs in football and other sports
Football
In football a draw is a normal result, so markets typically have three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw. This means odds on each selection are generally a bit lower than in cricket. Handicap and goals-related markets are especially popular in football. During the World Cup and Premier League, six6 gene offers a large number of markets for the big matches.
Other sports
six6 gene also offers betting on tennis, badminton and kabaddi. These sports tend to have more set- or game-based markets. Because the events are shorter than a cricket match, live odds move even faster. It is worth understanding the rules of a sport well before placing bets on it.
Compared to cricket, in-play markets in football are triggered by goals — in cricket they shift after each wicket or big shot. So when starting out with sports betting, it makes sense to begin with the sport you know best.
Popular betting markets in cricket
six6 gene offers a range of markets for cricket betting. Below is a brief overview of seven common markets.
| Market | How it works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick which team will win the match. There are no draws in T20. | Team A at odds of 1.45 — a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,450 if Team A wins. |
| Toss Winner | Which team will win the toss — a two-outcome market with roughly equal chances. | Team A or Team B — odds for both are usually close to 1.90. |
| Top Batsman | Which team's batter will score the most runs in an innings — a team-based market. | Pick the batter from Team A's listed options who you think will score the most runs. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above or below a set number. | Betting over 160 runs — you win if the combined total of both teams exceeds 160. |
| First Over Runs | How many runs will be scored in the first over of the match — a specific small market. | Choosing over 7 runs in the first over — the bet wins if 8 or more runs are scored. |
| Multi Bet | Multiple selections combined — all of them must be correct to win. | 3 matches at 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 combined odds. A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all win — but one loss ends the whole bet. |
| Top Bowler | Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings — a bowler-based market. | Pick Team B's main bowler if the pitch favours the bowlers. |

How to read odds in three formats
Betting sites display odds in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three are just different ways of expressing the same probability.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳500):
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
If the bet wins, the return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. In fractional odds the numerator is the profit and the denominator is the stake. In American odds a plus (+) sign indicates the underdog and a minus (−) sign indicates the favourite.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (Team B to win):
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 bet the return is ৳625 (৳125 profit).
six6 gene displays odds in decimal format, which is the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors and the easiest to calculate.
Live betting — odds change with every wicket
Placing a bet before a match starts is called pre-match betting. With six6 gene's live or in-play betting feature, you can also place bets while the match is in progress.
In T20, as soon as a wicket falls the odds for the batting team lengthen and the opposition's shorten. After a six-run over the batting team's odds shorten and the bowling team's lengthen. If the run rate at the end of the powerplay is below what is needed, the chasing team's odds start rising quickly.
In ODI these changes happen more gradually — there are many overs left to recover. In Test matches odds see bigger shifts from the second innings onward based on weather and pitch conditions.
- Live betting requires quick decisions — a good internet connection is essential.
- Watching a stream or scorecard while betting helps you read the situation better.
- Live markets on the six6 gene App are easy to navigate directly from your mobile.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a guaranteed way to earn money. The tips below help keep the betting experience more structured.
Start with one format
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules and pace. Begin with the format you have watched the most.
TipsSet a budget
Keep a separate budget for each session. Choosing smaller markets rather than placing one large bet keeps the experience going longer.
BudgetBe aware of multi bets
Multi bets offer larger combined odds, but one losing selection means the entire bet is lost. Adding more than three legs increases the risk quickly.
CautionStay patient with live betting
Rather than rushing to place a bet the moment a wicket falls, watch a few more balls first. Understanding how the pitch is behaving makes market choices clearer.
LiveBet responsibly
Setting betting limits, taking breaks and accepting losses are all part of responsible betting. Find detailed guidelines on the Responsible Gaming page.
SafetyTreat the toss market separately
The toss market is completely random — no statistics can help here. Keep it separate from how you approach the match winner market.
