Formats and Tournaments

Bangladesh's favourite cricket formats and international stages

Cricket has three main formats, each with its own pace and tactics. T20 is the shortest and fastest format — a match wraps up in 20 overs, so the result can swing at any moment. That unpredictability is what makes T20 betting particularly engaging. ODI, or one-day cricket, is a 50-over contest; tactics shift across different stages of the innings, which makes for a varied betting market. Test cricket is a five-day contest — a draw is a valid result here, so there are three possible outcomes to bet on.

The most popular tournament among Bangladesh supporters is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), where the country's top cricketers take the field for their franchise sides. Beyond that, the IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral series create betting opportunities throughout the year. When the Bangladesh Tigers play, excitement runs high across the country — six6s turns that interest into a structured betting experience.

How betting differs between football and other sports

Alongside cricket, six6s also offers football betting. The betting structure of the two sports differs in some ways. In cricket, the result is usually binary (win or loss in T20/ODI) or three-way (win/loss/draw in Tests); in football, every match has three possible results — home win, draw and away win. Goal-based markets (total goals, first goalscorer) are the most popular in football, while cricket offers a wide range of runs-, wickets- and overs-based markets.

Sports like kabaddi, tennis and basketball have fewer markets but remain active during their respective seasons. Each sport has its own statistical language worth understanding — in cricket you look at strike rate or economy rate, while in football possession and shots on target matter more. six6s presents all of this information clearly for users.

Betting is a leisure activity. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is important for every player.

Betting Markets

What are the popular markets in cricket?

Before the match or during play — bet on different markets and enjoy each match in a new way.

Match Winner

A bet on just one question: which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and they win, your bet wins.

Simplest market

Toss Betting

Bet in advance on which team will win the toss. Example: place a bet on Team A winning the toss.

Short-duration market

Top Batsman

Pick which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Example: bet that Team B's opening batsman will be the top scorer in their innings.

Performer betting

Total Runs Over/Under

Bet on whether the total runs scored after a set number of overs, or across a full innings, will be above (Over) or below (Under) a given number.

Runs-based market

Multi Bet

Combine multiple markets or matches into a single bet. Example: three selections across three separate matches — all three must be correct to win; if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.

Multiple selections

Top Wicket Taker

Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Example: bet that Team A's lead pace bowler will be the best bowler of the match.

Bowler market

Handicap Betting

A runs handicap is given to the weaker team to level the contest. The handicap betting result is expressed in runs — no specific stake or return figure is provided here.

Innings or Powerplay Runs

Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (Powerplay) or across the first innings. This market is particularly active in limited-overs cricket.

Understanding Odds

Three odds formats and how to read them

Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats. Understanding the examples below will make reading any market straightforward.

Betting is for ages 21+ only. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
Decimal
The simplest format. Example: Team A's odds of winning are 2.25. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 in total if it wins (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Fractional
A format from British tradition. The same odds in fractional are 5/4 — meaning a ৳4 stake earns ৳5 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, profit is ৳1,250 and total return is ৳2,250.
American
A plus sign means underdog, a minus sign means favourite. Team A's odds of +125 — a ৳1,000 bet earns ৳1,250 profit. If Team B is the favourite their odds might be -400 — meaning you need to stake ৳400 to earn ৳100 profit; a ৳1,000 bet earns only ৳250 profit, for a total return of ৳1,250.
Multi bet calculation
Three selections combined — decimal 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
LIVE
In-Play Betting

Live betting during the match — odds shift with every wicket

Live or in-play betting is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket. Once the match starts, odds change with every ball, every wicket and every over. Say Team A loses two quick wickets — Team B's odds of winning will rise while Team A's will shorten. Following these shifts adds another dimension to the betting experience.

In live betting, decision time is short. A big-scoring over, a dismissal or a rain break can all have an immediate effect on the odds. six6s in-play markets offer multiple options — runs in the next over, method of the next wicket, or the innings-end score.

To enjoy live betting, you can place bets directly from your phone via the six6s app, from wherever you are.

Betting Tips

Useful habits for cricket betting

Betting is primarily for entertainment. Keeping the following habits in mind helps make the experience more controlled and enjoyable.

01
Set a budget first. Before each betting session, decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend and stick to that limit. Do not place extra bets chasing a win or trying to recover a loss.
02
Choose markets based on the format. Total Runs markets are active in T20; in Tests, a draw is a valid result. Markets are easier to understand in the format you watch most.
03
Be careful with multi bets. Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher — one wrong selection and the whole bet is lost. It is better to start with just two selections.
04
Understand the odds format. Decimal, fractional and American all give the same information, just in different ways. Use whichever format is clearest to you.
05
Do not rush in live betting. In-play odds change fast. Rather than placing large bets on impulse, take a moment to read the situation before deciding.
06
Read the rules. Each market has its own rules. Before placing a bet, check the terms and conditions on six6s.

Common Questions

Cricket betting questions and answers

BPL is Bangladesh's domestic T20 franchise league, and IPL is India's. Both are played in T20 format, so the markets are much the same — Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman, Total Runs and so on. However, BPL has a different number of teams and a different season schedule. IPL is a larger league globally, so it tends to offer greater market depth.

Test and T20 share many of the same markets, but there are some important differences. In Tests, a draw is a possible result — so the Match Winner market has three options. Total runs in a Test cover a much larger range (spread over 5 days), so Over/Under markets work differently. In live betting, the pace of a Test is slower, which means odds shifts tend to be less dramatic.

Most Bangladeshi players find decimal odds the easiest. The reason is straightforward — just multiply the odds by your stake to get the total return. For example, odds of 2.25 on a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250. Fractional and American formats give the same information, just expressed differently.

If a match is abandoned or cut short due to rain or any other reason, the outcome of each bet is determined by the rules of that specific market. Generally, if a match ends before a market's result can be settled, that market is voided and the stake is refunded. Read the six6s FAQ for full details.

A multi bet starts from two selections and can include as many as you choose. Adding more selections increases the potential return, but reduces the chance of all of them being correct. For example: three matches at decimal 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳432 — but all three must win. It is worth starting with fewer selections to get a feel for how multi bets work.
