Sports Betting on criex — from cricket to football, bet on every match at the right odds
The criex sports betting section covers markets for the most popular sports in Bangladesh — cricket, football, kabaddi and more. Bet pre-match or live, with a Bengali-language interface and familiar Bangladeshi payment methods.
How Sports Betting Works
Sports betting means placing money on a specific outcome in a game. If your prediction is correct, your stake is multiplied and returned — if not, the stake is lost. On criex, separate odds are listed for each match, showing the probability of each outcome and how much you can win.
To start betting, log in to your criex account and go to the Sports section. You will see a list of ongoing and upcoming matches. Choose a match and market, enter your stake and confirm the bet. Once the result is known, winnings are added to your wallet automatically.
criex covers all major sporting events in Bangladesh — BPL, T20 World Cup, international cricket, football leagues and more. There is also a dedicated page for cricket only at criex cricket betting.
Popular Betting Markets on criex
Different markets mean different types of bets on the same match. Below are six familiar markets in the criex sports section and a simple explanation of how each works.
Match Winner
Bet on which of two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.
EasiestHandicap Betting
The market is levelled by giving the weaker team an advantage. Example: if Team A is given a +1.5 handicap, a loss by one run still counts as a win for this bet.
IntermediateOver / Under
Bet on whether the total score or runs will be above a set number. Example: will total runs be over 300 — choose "Over" or "Under".
Analysis neededToss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before a cricket match starts. Example: will Team A win the toss — the result is known within the first minute of the match.
Quick resultMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. Example: pick the winner of three matches together — if all are correct the return is much higher.
Higher riskFirst Goal / Wicket
Bet on which team scores the first goal in football, or which wicket falls first in cricket. Example: if Team A scores first, this bet wins.
Popular in liveDecimal, Fractional and American — Three Types of Odds
There are three ways to display odds. criex generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three makes it easier to use any betting site.
The numbers look different across the three formats but they represent the same market. On criex you can choose your preferred format from the settings.
Pre-Match and Live Betting — What is the Difference
On criex there are two main times to bet: before the match starts and while the match is in progress. Each has its own advantages.
Bet before the match
Markets open before the match starts. Odds are relatively stable, so you have more time to decide. From Dhaka you can place a bet in the afternoon for a match at 11 pm.
- Less time pressure — you can think before placing a bet
- All markets are available
- Good for multi bets
Bet during the match
The match is ongoing and the market updates in real time — that is live betting. Odds shift after every wicket, goal or break, creating new opportunities.
- Decisions can be based on what is happening on the field
- Odds change quickly — staying alert is important
- Cash out option is available on some markets
Multi bet example: three selections from three separate matches — odds 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90. Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximate). A ৳100 stake returns ৳456 if all three are correct — but if any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. A multi bet offers higher potential returns but also higher risk.
Practical Tips and Common Mistakes
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following in mind helps make the experience more organised and avoids unnecessary risk.
Good habits
- Stick to a budget — decide how much you will spend per session before you start and do not go beyond it.
- Focus on one market — rather than trying to understand every market at once, start with a sport you already know.
- Start with small bets — get familiar with the platform before gradually increasing.
- Read the responsible gaming policy — learn about limit-setting tools on the criex responsible gaming guide.
Common mistakes
- Chasing losses by placing bigger and bigger bets — this is the biggest trap in betting.
- Placing a bet without understanding the odds — first understand how much you will get back.
- Adding too many selections to a multi bet — every extra selection increases the chance of one being wrong.
- Rushing in live betting — even when sitting in front of the screen, make decisions with a calm head.

Betting Exchange — Back and Lay Bets
In regular betting you bet against the site. In a betting exchange you bet against other players — there are two positions: BACK and LAY.
BACK: betting that Team A will win. Example: ৳500 BACK bet on Team A at odds of 1.80 — if Team A wins you make ৳400 profit (before commission); if they do not win you lose ৳500.
LAY: betting that Team A will not win — meaning you act as the bookmaker. If Team A does not win you make ৳500 profit (before commission), but if they do win you pay ৳400 (liability = ৳500 × 0.80).
Exchange betting is more flexible, but understanding the liability calculation is important. You can find more questions and answers about the exchange on the criex FAQ page.
