Cricket Betting at omg — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport at omg. Match winner, toss, top batsman, live in-play — all markets across all formats.
Cricket's Three Formats — What Are They Like?
Bangladeshi fans follow cricket across all three formats — but from a betting perspective, each format offers a different experience.
Twenty20
Each team plays just 20 overs, so the pace of the match is very high. BPL and IPL are two major tournaments in this format. The match can turn completely in the final few overs, making live betting especially interesting here. Markets are also more varied — runs per over, number of sixes, powerplay score.
One Day International
A 50-over match requires both strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in ODI format. Markets available for betting include total runs, top run-scorer and innings break. The middle overs are often high-value points.
Test Cricket
In a five-day Test match, a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options. Session betting — who will score more runs in this session — is a market specific to Test betting. Markets on bowling performance are also available.
The tournaments Bangladeshis follow the most
BPL is Bangladesh's home tournament — local and overseas stars together. IPL is India's franchise league and one of the biggest T20 competitions in the world. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the ICC T20 World Cup generate the most betting action.
For international matches too — Asia Cup, bilateral series — markets are available at omg across all formats. To learn more about betting strategy or rules, visit the betting tips page — it has detailed guides.
Cricket vs Football and Other Sports
At omg, you can bet on football and a few other sports alongside cricket. The betting structure varies slightly for each sport.
Cricket Betting
- No draw in T20 matches, result is guaranteed
- More session and over-based markets
- Odds change when a wicket falls in live betting
- Toss market is exclusive to cricket
- Top batsman / bowler markets available
Football and Others
- A draw is a common result in a 90-minute match
- Goal scorer, corner and card markets
- Half-time / full-time betting are separate
- Asian handicap is more common
- Number of markets varies by match
Understanding the handicap market in football betting is important — one team must win or lose by a set number of goals. In cricket, the run line works the same way. In neither case is the outcome guaranteed — betting is entirely for entertainment.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win. Two options in T20 (Team A or Team B), three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Example: Team A odds 1.45, Team B odds 2.75 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,375 if Team B wins.
Toss Betting
A separate market on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random, so odds for both teams are almost equal. A unique market specific to cricket.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in the whole match or in a single innings. Separate markets are available for each team. Many players prefer this market because it does not depend on the team's overall result.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
Whether the combined runs of both teams will be above or below a set number — for example, total runs over or under 340. Pitch conditions and weather affect this market.
Top Bowler
Who will take the most wickets in the match — team performance plays an important role in this market. On spin-friendly pitches, the odds for spin bowlers generally shorten.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Bet on the results of multiple matches together — you win only if all selections are correct. Example: three selections at odds 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = total 4.26 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳426, but if one loses the entire bet is lost.
Odds in Three Formats — A Simple Guide
Odds appear in three different formats across platforms. The examples below make each one easy to understand.
| Format | Team A Win (Example) | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3,000 on a ৳1,000 bet |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — The Same Price in Three Formats
Team A to win — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200 all mean the same thing. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳3,000 if Team A wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — The Price of a Favourite
If Team B is the favourite, decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 if Team B wins (৳500 profit). The profit on a favourite is lower, but the chance of winning seems higher.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change the Moment a Wicket Falls
You can bet even after the match has started — that is live in-play betting. In cricket, every ball can bring a key moment, and omg's live markets update accordingly.
If a wicket falls in the first over, the run-chase odds shift. If runs are low in the powerplay, the under side of the total-runs market becomes attractive. If the batting team is behind in the last 5 overs, their odds of winning increase.
Decisions in live betting must be made quickly. omg's mobile platform makes this easier — apps are available for Android and iOS and can be obtained through official channels.
- Wicket impact: When a key batsman is dismissed, match winner odds change immediately.
- Over rate: The powerplay score gives an indication of where the total is heading.
- Death overs: The game changes most in the final five overs and live markets stay active throughout.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will bet on each match beforehand and stay within that limit. It is better not to place too many bets at once.
- Focus on one market: Start with the two simple markets of match winner or total runs. Move to more complex markets later.
- Pitch and weather: Ground conditions in cricket affect the odds. On a spinner's pitch, total runs are more likely to be lower.
- Be careful with multi bets: In a three-selection multi bet, all selections must win — if one loses the entire bet is gone. More selections means more risk.
- Betting is for entertainment: Cricket betting is for enjoyment — not as a source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Ludo Quick and other games: During a break you can play Ludo Quick — a casual game on omg where rounds finish fast.
Multi Bet Example
Selections across three separate matches:
Total odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26
If all win on a ৳100 bet: ৳426
* If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
