Match Types: T20, ODI and Test
Cricket is played in three main formats. Each one behaves differently as a betting market because the game length, scoring pace and momentum swings are different. Knowing the format before you place a bet makes a real difference to which markets make sense.
| Format | Duration | Overs per Side | Typical Score Range | Best for Beginners? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | ~3 hours | 20 | 130–200+ runs | Yes |
| ODI | ~8 hours | 50 | 220–320 runs | Moderate |
| Test | Up to 5 days | Unlimited | 250–500+ per innings | Complex |
T20 is the easiest format to follow if you are new to cricket betting. Games finish in one evening, results are clear, and there are more frequent scoring events to bet on. That is why BPL and IPL T20 games attract the most traffic on olx23 cricket.

Reading Decimal Odds on olx23 Cricket
olx23 displays cricket odds in decimal format. This is the most straightforward system to work with. The decimal number tells you what you get back per taka staked, including your original stake.
The formula
Potential return = stake × decimal odds
Profit = return − stake
Sri Lanka to win: 1.75
You bet ৳1,000 on Bangladesh at 2.10.
If Bangladesh wins → Return = ৳1,000 × 2.10 = ৳2,100
Profit = ৳2,100 − ৳1,000 = ৳1,100
If Bangladesh loses → You lose your ৳1,000 stake.
Under 162.5 runs: 1.95
You bet ৳500 on Under 162.5 at 1.95.
Final score is 155 → Under wins.
Return = ৳500 × 1.95 = ৳975
Profit = ৳975 − ৳500 = ৳475
A decimal of 2.00 means even money — you double your stake. Odds below 2.00 mean the team is favoured; odds above 2.00 mean it is the underdog. Always check odds on the bet slip before confirming, because they can change slightly between selecting and confirming.

Live Betting During the Match
olx23 cricket supports in-play (live) betting. Markets update ball by ball during T20 and ODI games. This is different from pre-match betting because odds move quickly based on what is happening on the pitch right now.
What changes during live cricket
- Runs rate: If a batting team is scoring quickly, their win odds shorten in real time.
- Wickets: Losing a top-order batsman cheaply causes odds to shift noticeably within seconds.
- Powerplay end: After overs 6 (T20) or 10 (ODI), scoring patterns change. This is often when interesting odds appear.
- Weather and DLS: Rain interruptions affect targets under DLS. olx23 suspends affected markets until the situation is clear.
For live betting, use the olx23 mobile app. Odds update faster on the app, and you can act before the market closes for that specific delivery. Download the free app from olx23 App.
Bet Within Your Limits
Cricket betting should be treated as entertainment, not income. These habits help you stay in control.
olx23 requires all players to be at least 18 years old. Gambling is not suitable for everyone. Set a daily budget and stop when you reach it.
- Set a session budget before you open any market. Only bet what you can afford to lose that day.
- Do not chase losses. If a bet loses, placing a larger bet to "recover" is the fastest way to a bigger loss.
- Use the olx23 deposit limit feature to cap how much you fund your account each day or week.
- Treat a win as a bonus, not a target. Your strategy should not rely on winning every bet.
- Take breaks. A 20-minute interval between sessions helps you make calmer decisions.
- If betting stops feeling fun, read the Responsible Gaming page and use the self-exclusion tools.
The minimum withdrawal on olx23 is ৳1,400. Maximum daily withdrawal is ৳85,000. If you ever need to step back, funds can be withdrawn through the same payment method used for your deposit.
