six 6s Cricket Betting — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
The most popular betting platform for Bangladesh's most popular sport. six 6s is ready for T20, ODI and Test cricket with live odds, varied markets and in-play betting across all three formats.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
T20, ODI and Test — each format calls for a different approach to betting
T20
The shortest and fastest format. The game can turn in any over, so odds shift quickly. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup keep Bangladeshi fans most engaged in this format. T20 is the most popular for in-play betting because the situation can change dramatically every two or three overs.
ODI
Fifty-over ODI cricket combines strategy and patience. Large odds shifts between the first and second innings are a defining feature of this format. Bangladesh Tigers ODI matches draw the most betting traffic on six 6s. Run rate and partnership markets are particularly interesting here.
Test
Five-day Test cricket produces the most uncertain match results — a draw, win or loss are all possible. The toss, pitch conditions and weather all play an important role. International Test series offer session-by-session markets that experienced bettors particularly favour.
The competitions followed most closely in Bangladesh
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) draws millions of fans every season. India's IPL is also hugely popular here — betting activity on six 6s rises noticeably during big-team matches. The ICC T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy also offer a range of markets for international matchups.
Alongside cricket, six 6s also offers football betting. In football, a draw is a possible outcome, so odds are set based on three possibilities (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Limited-overs cricket has no draws, so the odds structure is different. The same applies to badminton betting — the market types in racket sports differ from cricket, so visit the badminton page for details on those differences.
Betting by Competition Type
Popular Betting Markets
From Match Winner to Multi Bet — the types of bets available in cricket
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you choose Team A, your bet wins if Team A wins and loses if they do not. The simplest and most common market.
Most PopularToss Betting
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The odds are generally even given the 50/50 probability. It is popular because the result is known quickly.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. Separate markets are available for each team. Knowing the team's batting lineup makes analysis easier.
PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. This market is used most often in T20.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
You can combine different markets from multiple matches into a single bet. All selections must win for the bet to pay out — if even one loses, the whole bet is lost. Example: bets on three matches at odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 give combined odds of 5.47, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳547.
Multiple BetsHandicap and Wicket Markets
Handicap betting adjusts the odds by giving an advantage to the weaker team or a disadvantage to the stronger one. Wicket markets let you bet on how many wickets will fall within a set number of overs.

How to Read and Understand Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — all three methods carry the same information, just expressed differently
Odds are a numerical expression of how much a bookmaker is prepared to return. There are three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. Most bettors in Bangladesh prefer decimal odds because they are easier to calculate.
| Format | Odds on Team A winning | Odds on Team B winning | Outcome (Example) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | If Team A wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳450 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | If Team A wins: ৳250 profit + ৳200 stake = ৳450 |
| American | +125 | -125 | Team B: ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit) |
Example 1: Decimal odds of 2.25 for Team A to win = 5/4 fractional = American +125. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳450 if Team A wins (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake); if Team A loses you lose ৳200.
Example 2: Team B is the favourite at odds of 1.80 = 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet on Team B returns ৳360 if they win (৳160 profit).
Live In-Play Betting — new opportunities every over
Odds change in an instant when a wicket falls, the run rate rises, or the weather shifts
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. This works particularly well in cricket because the situation changes every over. When a wicket falls the batting team's odds lengthen, and after a big six or boundary the fielding team's odds shorten.
In T20, odds refresh according to the run rate after the Powerplay. Watching how odds move after a six in the death overs gives a good feel for the dynamics of live betting. In Test cricket, odds shift significantly at the end of each session — especially after tea and lunch.
Be mindful of your stake size when betting live. Visit the Responsible Gaming page for details on budget management. Betting is a form of entertainment — no outcome can be guaranteed.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Good to know before placing a bet
Choose markets that suit the format
Over runs and in-play markets work well in T20. For Test cricket, consider session-based bets. Picking markets without understanding the format increases the chance of making the wrong call.
Set your budget before you start
Keep a fixed budget for each session and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — chasing losses by increasing your stakes is not a wise approach.
Factor in pitch and weather conditions
On a spin-friendly pitch, shorter odds for a spin-bowling side may still be reasonable. Poor weather raises the likelihood of a low-scoring match.
Be careful with multi bets
The potential return is higher with multiple selections, but so is the risk. One loss wipes out the whole bet. Check each selection individually before adding more legs.

Football and Other Sports Betting
More of what you can find alongside cricket
six 6s also offers football betting alongside cricket. In football, a draw is a separate outcome — so the odds structure differs from cricket. European leagues, the FIFA World Cup and AFC Championship matches are well known to football fans in Bangladesh.
Corner kicks, first goalscorer and assist markets exist in football but not in cricket — they are an entirely different experience. Those who want variety can bet on both cricket and football from the same account. Visit the six 6s Bet page for full details on all sports markets.
The six 6s mobile app lets you track live scores for cricket, football and other sports while betting in-play. Both Android and iOS versions are available through official channels.
