Cricket Betting at golts — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
Join match winner, toss, top batsman and live betting markets for BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and international matches. Fast deposit and withdrawal with Bangladeshi payment methods.
The Three Formats of Cricket and the Competitions You Can Bet On
The biggest appeal of cricket betting is that the style of play differs across each format, so the betting opportunities differ too. golts offers betting markets across all three main formats.
T20
Most PopularA match of just 20 overs means results shift quickly. The excitement doubles when Bangladesh Tigers play in every match of the BPL, IPL and ICC T20 World Cup. T20 is the best format for live betting because the situation changes with every over.
ODI (One Day)
50 OversOne Day Internationals are played over 50 overs per side. The ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup use this format. There is more opportunity to make live market decisions by checking statistics at the midpoint of the match.
Test Cricket
5 DaysIn a five-day Test match you can find markets for match winner, draw and series winner. Pitch, weather and team form all need to be considered together. This format offers something different for patient bettors.
In football betting, each match is ninety minutes and goals are fewer, so odds change slowly. In cricket, every wicket or big six moves the odds immediately, making live betting far more dynamic. Unlike casino games there is no instant result, but cricket betting offers more room for strategy and observation.
Popular Betting Markets at golts — What Each One Offers
Match Winner
Picking which team will win is the simplest market. Bet on team A vs team B; if you pick the right team, you get a return based on the odds you selected.
Toss Winner
Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. In T20 and ODI, winning the toss can be significant depending on the pitch and weather. This is a short, standalone market.
Top Batsman
This market is about who will score the most runs in their team. You bet on which batter will be the top scorer for team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs in an innings or across the full match will go above or below a set number. You can place your bet by assessing the pitch conditions and the bowling attack.
Top Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The spinner vs pacer difference becomes relevant here in T20.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets are placed together on a single slip. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if any one is wrong the entire bet is lost. Example: three selections at odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 give combined odds of 4.59.
Choose Your Market Carefully
It is best to start by focusing on one market. Match winner or total runs markets are straightforward, while multi bets carry higher risk because of the many selections involved. At golts you can view and compare multiple markets for each match at the same time.

How to Read and Understand Odds
On golts, prices are shown in three odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same winning probability; only the way they are written differs.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake back); if you lose, you lose ৳200.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (American minus odds means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). If you win, return is ৳250 (৳50 profit).
Decimal format is the easiest — to calculate your return just multiply the stake by the odds. Fractional is common in English betting, and in American format a plus sign means underdog, a minus sign means favourite.
Betting is entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning. Read the Responsible Gaming page to play responsibly.
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳300 return on a ৳100 bet |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| Decimal (Favourite) | 1.25 | ৳250 return on a ৳200 bet |
| American (Favourite) | -400 | You need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100 |
Odds Change Instantly When a Wicket Falls — How Live Betting Works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds are recalculated after every over, wicket or boundary.
Say team A is batting and they lose two wickets in the first five overs — team A's odds of winning will rise immediately because they are behind. Conversely, if they have a big start in six overs, team A's odds will shorten. On golts these changes can be seen in real time.
Live betting requires focus and quick decisions. It is better to bet a limited amount on one market — set your budget in advance to avoid the risk of large losses.
Some Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Focus on one market: It is better to start with a straightforward market like match winner or total runs. Betting across too many markets at once splits your attention.
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet on each match. Keep the amount to what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Keep multi bet selections low: The more selections in a multi bet, the less likely they all come through. Keeping two or three selections together is more realistic.
Keep emotions out of live betting: It is natural to feel excited and place a big bet when your favourite team comes out to bat, but making decisions without assessing the odds and the situation is not a good idea.
Betting is for entertainment: Cricket betting is not a reliable source of income — it is extra enjoyment alongside watching a match. Placing repeated bets to recover losses can make things worse.
Look at the stats, compare team A and team B: Choosing a market based on recent team form, pitch type and weather makes your decision more reasoned. However, this does not guarantee a win.
