Cricket Formats and Tournaments

Cricket's three main formats – T20, ODI and Test – each have a different character from a betting perspective. A T20 match wraps up in a few hours, so the situation shifts quickly every over and odds move with it. That dynamism is what makes T20 the most engaging format for live betting.

In ODI matches the 50-over span gives more room to change strategy in the middle stages. Test cricket is a five-day contest – the result depends on pitch conditions, weather and the form of individual batsmen and bowlers, making the range of available markets even wider.

When it comes to tournaments, the one most familiar to fans in Bangladesh is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). Alongside that, betting on the IPL, T20 World Cup and various ICC international series is available at m71. Bangladesh Tigers matches always draw extra excitement, and the markets for those games tend to be more varied as well.

Football and Other Sports

Alongside cricket, m71 offers betting on football and a few other sports. Football has three possible outcomes – team A wins, team B wins, or a draw – so the market structure differs from cricket. ODI and T20 cricket generally have no draw, so you simply choose between two outcomes.

In Test cricket a draw is possible, so that market can have three outcomes just like football. Over/under markets based on goals are especially popular in football; the cricket equivalent is total runs over/under.

Beyond sports betting, m71 has many other gaming sections. If you are interested in casino games, you can check out m71 Casino's live tables and slot games. Crash game fans will find detailed information on the Go Rush page.

Popular Cricket Markets

Betting across different markets lets you think about various aspects of a match. Below are seven popular markets with a brief description of each.

Market name How it works Common example
Match Winner Pick which team will win the match. Team A or Team B – choose one as the winner.
Toss Winner Which team will win the toss before the match starts. Team A or Team B wins the toss – a straightforward 50-50 market.
Top Batsman Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Who will be the highest run-scorer from Team A's batting lineup.
Total Runs Over/Under Whether total runs will finish above or below a set line. Will total runs in the match exceed 160 – pick one side.
Top Wicket-Taker Which bowler on the bowling side will take the most wickets. Pick the standout pace or spin bowler from Team B.
First Wicket Select a range for which over the first wicket will fall. Will the first wicket fall within overs 1–3.
Multi Bet Combine multiple markets into a single bet slip. Selecting match winners for three matches multiplies the odds, raising the potential return – but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.

Understanding Odds

Betting platforms display odds in three different formats. The same value is expressed three ways – none is more favourable than the others; only the notation differs.

Decimal

Multiply the figure by your stake to get the total return. The most straightforward method.

Team A to win – decimal 3.00. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳600 if correct (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). You lose ৳200 if wrong.
Fractional

The left side of the fraction is profit; the right side is the stake – meaning the right amount staked earns the left amount in profit.

The same market in fractional format is written 2/1. A ৳200 stake earns ৳400 profit, total return ৳600.
American

A positive number (+) shows how much profit a ৳100 stake earns. A negative number (−) shows how much you need to stake to earn ৳100 profit.

Team A – American +200: a ৳200 stake earns ৳400 profit. If Team B is the favourite, American -400: a ৳200 stake earns only ৳50 profit, total return ৳250.
All three formats are simply different ways of presenting the same value. m71 shows decimal odds as the default, which is the easiest to read.

Multi Bet – When Odds Multiply

A single bet depends on just one outcome. In a multi bet, adding several markets causes their odds to multiply together to form combined odds.

Example: Three selections from separate matches – decimal 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximately). A ৳100 multi bet returns ৳517 if all selections are correct. If even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.

A multi bet is one way to make a match more entertaining, but each additional selection adds proportionally more risk. Always treat betting as entertainment – it is not a reliable source of income.

Live In-Play Betting

Placing a bet before a match starts is called pre-match betting. The real excitement in cricket, though, comes from live in-play betting – where odds change moment to moment as the match unfolds.

When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately because their chance of winning has decreased. Conversely, after a big six or a strong powerplay start, that team's odds shorten. The situation changes after every over, and the markets adjust accordingly.

There is very little time to decide in live betting, so keep a clear head and enjoy the game. Focus on markets you understand. New players may find it useful to read about the m71 VIP programme, as regular players receive extra benefits there.

  • Odds shift fast when a wicket falls – keep watch
  • The run rate in the powerplay influences the odds
  • Spinner vs pacer in the death overs – bowling changes are also reflected in the markets
  • Bet in line with the live score

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting

Set a budget in advance

Decide how much you will spend per session before you start and stick to that limit. Betting is entertainment – it is not a way to earn money.

Focus on one market

Spreading bets across too many markets at once splits your attention. Starting with straightforward markets like match winner or over/under is a good approach.

Take breaks

Betting for long stretches without a break lowers the quality of your decisions. Taking breaks regularly is always a good idea.

Read the responsible gaming policy

m71's responsible gaming page has details on protection tools such as self-exclusion and deposit limits.

Play easily on mobile

Live betting is available from anywhere using the Android and iOS apps. The app is available through the official channel.

Understand the format before choosing a market

Run rate matters more in T20; pitch conditions and bowling carry more weight in Test. Choose your market based on the format.

Frequently Asked Questions

T20 is only 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and every ball matters in live betting. In ODI, the longer 50-over span means mid-innings strategy has more influence on betting. Test cricket runs over five days, draws are possible, and pitch conditions and weather play a much bigger role – so the available markets are quite different.

BPL is a T20 league, so the most active markets are match winner, toss, total runs over/under, top batsman, and live in-play. There may also be separate markets for the powerplay and death overs of each innings.

When a wicket falls, the platform immediately recalculates the odds. The batting team's odds to win generally rise because their chances have decreased, while the bowling team's odds shorten. New bets are sometimes briefly suspended, especially when wickets fall in quick succession.

The more selections you add to a multi bet, the higher the combined odds – but the less likely it is that every selection will be correct. Starting with 2–3 selections is generally manageable. Keep in mind that if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.

The decimal, fractional and American odds formats work the same way in both sports. However, football allows for a draw, so odds are split across three outcomes. T20 and ODI cricket generally have no draw, meaning odds are distributed between two outcomes and each team's odds are comparatively higher.
