mgame Cricket Betting Guide
By the end of this guide you will know how to find a cricket match, understand the available markets, read decimal odds, and place your first bet on mgame — all using bKash or Nagad from your phone.
Match Types: T20, ODI, Test & Tournaments
Cricket comes in three main formats and several major tournaments. Each format plays differently, and the betting markets available will reflect that. Knowing the format before you open the sportsbook saves time and helps you pick the right market.
| Format | Overs Per Side | Duration | Why It Matters for Betting |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 | ~3 hours | Fast results, big swings in momentum; live betting moves quickly |
| ODI | 50 | ~7–8 hours | More data points mid-match; total runs markets are popular |
| Test | Unlimited (5 days) | Up to 5 days | Draw is a common outcome; weather and pitch condition matter most |
Key Tournaments on mgame
mgame covers the major international and franchise tournaments that Bangladesh players care about most. Here is a quick overview of what to expect from each.
| Tournament | Format | Teams | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPL – Bangladesh Premier League | T20 | Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet & others | Jan–Feb |
| IPL – Indian Premier League | T20 | Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai & others | Apr–May |
| ICC T20 World Cup | T20 | International | Jun–Jul (varies) |
| Asia Cup | ODI / T20 | India, Pakistan, Bangladesh & others | Aug–Sep (varies) |
| Bangladesh vs International | ODI / Test / T20 | Tigers + visiting side | Year-round home series |
Common Betting Markets Explained
mgame offers several market types for each cricket match. Below are the ones you will see most often and what each one means in plain terms.
Match Winner (1X2 / Head-to-Head)
Pick which team wins the match. In T20 and ODI formats there is no draw option, so it is simply Team A or Team B. In Test cricket a draw is included as a third option.
Total Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a line — say 155.5 runs for a T20 innings. You bet whether the actual total will go over or under that number. Good for when you have a view on pitch conditions.
Top Batsman
Predict which player will score the most runs in an innings or in the whole match. Odds vary widely depending on batting order and current form. This market is settled on the highest individual score.
Top Bowler
Predict which bowler takes the most wickets in a match. Useful when a spinner or pace bowler is in strong form and the pitch conditions favour them.
First Over Runs
A short-term market: how many runs will be scored in the very first over? Useful in T20 games where openers attack from ball one. Fast to settle — usually within 10 minutes of kick-off.
Tournament Winner
An outright bet placed before or during a tournament on which team lifts the trophy. Odds are higher than single-match bets because more outcomes are possible.
Available markets depend on the specific match and how much time is left before the game starts. Live (in-play) markets open once the match begins and update ball by ball.
How to Read Decimal Odds
mgame displays odds in decimal format — the most straightforward system for new bettors. The number shown is the total amount you get back per taka staked, including your original stake. Profit alone is the return minus what you put in.
The Formula
Total return = Stake × Odds
Profit = (Stake × Odds) − Stake
Example — for illustration only
Scenario: Bangladesh vs a visiting team, T20 match
These numbers are invented for teaching purposes. mgame shows live odds at the time you open the market — they change before the match starts and during play.
Bangladesh to win:
1.85
Stake ৳1,000 → Return ৳1,850 → Profit ৳850
Visiting team to win:
2.10
Stake ৳1,000 → Return ৳2,100 → Profit ৳1,100
Top batsman — Mushfiqur:
4.50
Stake ৳500 → Return ৳2,250 → Profit ৳1,750
Higher decimal odds mean a less likely outcome in the bookmaker's view — and a larger payout if you are correct. Minimum bet on mgame starts at ৳450.
Comparing Odds Quickly
A simple way to compare: odds of 2.00 mean you double your money if you win. Odds below 2.00 mean you win less than your stake. Odds above 2.00 mean you win more than your stake. Use this as a quick mental check before placing any bet.
| Decimal Odds | Implied Probability | Profit on ৳1,000 Stake | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.50 | ~67% | ৳500 | Strong favourite |
| 2.00 | 50% | ৳1,000 | Even money |
| 3.00 | ~33% | ৳2,000 | Moderate underdog |
| 5.00 | 20% | ৳4,000 | Big underdog / outright market |
| 10.00 | 10% | ৳9,000 | Long shot — tournament winner bets |

Practical Tips Before You Bet
These are not predictions — they are process habits that help you make calmer, better-informed decisions before each bet.
TIP 01
Check the Pitch and Weather Before T20
A dry, dusty pitch favours spinners. A green, damp pitch helps pace bowlers. Total runs markets shift significantly based on these conditions — check match previews before placing over/under bets.
TIP 02
Understand Toss Impact in T20
In many venues the team batting second has an advantage in T20 (knowing the target). Watch the toss result before placing live Match Winner bets — odds often shift noticeably after the toss.
TIP 03
Set a Session Budget Before You Log In
Decide the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in one session before you open the app. Keep that number separate from your daily expenses. Never chase a loss with a bigger bet.
TIP 04
Use One Market Per Match to Start
New to cricket betting? Pick one market — Match Winner — and get comfortable with how the bet slip works before adding multiple selections. Combining markets means all selections must win for a payout.
TIP 05
Wagering Requirement on Bonus Funds
The 215% welcome bonus at mgame carries an 11× wagering requirement before withdrawal. Keep track of your progress in the account dashboard. Cricket bets count towards this requirement — check the bonus terms for exact contribution rates.
TIP 06
Live Betting Closes Fast
During a T20 match, live odds update after every ball. If you hesitate, the market may suspend briefly during a wicket or power play. Have your stake amount decided before tapping the odds.
