66zz 3 Cricket Betting — Odds and Markets Guide for Every Format from T20 to Test
Live odds for BPL, IPL and international cricket, popular betting markets, and a straightforward guide to reading odds — all in one place. Bet on cricket at 66zz 3 your way, at your own pace.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Competitions
T20 Cricket
Each team faces 20 overs in this format, and matches wrap up in a few hours. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup all use this format. A quick wicket or a big six can shift the odds at any moment, making T20 the most fast-moving format for live betting.
One-Day Internationals (ODI)
This 50-over format blends strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup and major bilateral series are played in ODI format. Run rate and wickets in hand during the middle overs have a strong effect on betting markets, which is why over-by-over betting is popular here.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, a draw is a valid result, so there are three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch conditions, weather and the batting order leave a clear mark on betting odds as the match progresses. Experienced bettors typically follow session-based markets.
BPL and International Cricket
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is a celebration. The country's top cricketers play for their franchises in every match, while the world's best take the field in the IPL. During BPL and IPL seasons, 66zz 3 keeps multiple markets open for every match — from before the first ball to the last.
When the Bangladesh Tigers take the field in an international series, betting activity picks up noticeably. Picking the right market can make watching cricket even more engaging.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
Cricket offers a wider variety of markets than almost any other sport. It is not just about the match result — which bowler takes the most wickets, which batter scores the most runs, how long the first-wicket partnership lasts — these detailed markets set cricket apart.
Football betting mainly centres on match winner, goals over/under and scoreline markets. A single goal can flip the entire match situation, which makes live football betting exciting too. But it does not offer the same depth of detail as cricket.
Sports like Kabaddi, tennis or badminton tend to have simpler markets — usually match winner or set-by-set results. The longer the format of a sport, the more opportunities arise for the odds to shift during live betting.
To learn more about different betting approaches, read our Betting Tips and Strategy Guide, where betting methods for various sports are explained separately.
Market Variety at a Glance
- Cricket — highest number of in-match markets
- Football — goal-based markets are the main focus
- Tennis — set and game-by-game markets
- T20 and IPL — fastest-changing live markets
- Test Cricket — long-form session markets
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
These are the most commonly used markets for cricket betting at 66zz 3. The key idea behind each one is explained below in plain terms.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win the match. In T20 and ODI, this is the simplest market — just two options, no draw. In Test cricket, there are three options.
Toss Winner
A bet on the result of the coin toss before the match begins. This is entirely based on chance and has no connection to match performance. Odds are generally similar for both teams.
Top Run Scorer
A bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match. Pitch conditions and the batting order play an important role here. The top batters from each side usually carry the shortest odds.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in the match or an innings will be above or below a set number. For example, whether total runs in 20 overs will be over 160 (over) or under 160 (under).
Multi Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet — all selections must be correct to win. For example, picking the winner of three matches together. The odds multiply and grow, but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
First Wicket to Fall
A bet on the run total at which the first wicket falls — you can wager on an over/under or a specific range. The longer the opening partnership lasts, the later this market settles.
Handicap Betting
A virtual advantage in runs or wickets is given to the weaker team to make the odds more balanced. If Team A is given a 20-run handicap, their actual winning margin has those 20 runs added when settling the bet.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
On cricket betting platforms, odds can appear in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Odds: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, the total return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the Favourite
When Team B is the favourite, their odds are lower. For example: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 (here, ৳200). A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
Decimal odds are the easiest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. 66zz 3 displays decimal odds by default, but you can switch to another format if you prefer.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
Live betting LIVE means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, the odds update instantly with every ball, every wicket and every over. This is what makes cricket betting particularly dynamic.
What happens when a wicket falls?
When a key wicket falls — such as a team's main batter — the odds for that team to win shift immediately, reflecting their reduced chances, while the other team's odds shorten.
What happens in the final overs?
As the target gets closer or more runs are needed, the required run rate changes and the odds move sharply. In the last five overs, the match can swing either way.
Weather and Pitch
If rain falls or the Duckworth-Lewis method comes into play, markets may be suspended temporarily. A deteriorating pitch gives spinners extra advantage, which affects the total runs market.
Powerplay Markets
In T20, the first 6-over powerplay has its own separate markets — you can bet on how many wickets will fall or how many runs will be scored in that phase, even after the match has started.
Some Practical Approaches to Cricket Betting
Start with one market
For new bettors, the match winner market is the easiest starting point. Once you are comfortable with one market, you can gradually move to others.
Set your budget first
Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match. It is important to avoid the temptation of placing larger bets on impulse during live betting.
Compare odds
The same market can carry different odds. Check what odds 66zz 3 is offering on a given market before the match starts.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer bigger returns, but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. In the beginning, it is better to stick to two or three selections at most.
Treat betting as entertainment
It is better not to expect a regular income from betting. It is one way to enjoy cricket — if you lose, do not dwell on it; just stay within your budget.
