Cricket Match Types on 5gbd
5gbd covers every major cricket format. Understanding the format helps you pick the right market — odds behave differently in a T20 compared to a five-day Test.
| Format | Overs | Duration | Key Tournaments | Pace of Play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 Popular | 20 | ~3 hours | BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup | Fast. Scores swing quickly. High-scoring markets are active. |
| ODI | 50 | ~8 hours | ICC World Cup, Asia Cup | Medium. Momentum shifts at key wickets. |
| Test | Unlimited | Up to 5 days | Bangladesh vs. England, Pakistan, India | Slow build. Draw is always a result option. |
| The Hundred | 100 balls | ~2.5 hours | ECB The Hundred | Very fast. Similar to T20 market behaviour. |
For Bangladesh players, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) matches are the most heavily covered on 5gbd. During BPL season, live markets open ball-by-ball, so you can place bets between deliveries if you are fast.
IPL markets are available through the full season, with separate spreads for each innings. 5gbd lists all matches well ahead of time so you can plan which games to follow.
Popular Betting Markets Explained
5gbd cricket covers more than a dozen market types per match. Here are the ones you will see every time, including what they mean and when they make sense.
| Market Name | What You Are Betting On | Format Fit | Beginner? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner (1X2) | Which team wins the match. In T20/ODI there is no draw. In Test there is a draw option. | All formats | Yes |
| Total Match Runs | Combined runs by both teams. You pick Over or Under a set line (e.g., Over/Under 310.5 runs in an ODI). | T20, ODI | Yes |
| Top Batsman | Which named player scores the most runs in an innings. Settled after the innings ends. | All formats | Yes |
| Innings Runs (1st / 2nd) | Total runs scored in a specific innings. Split from full-match totals. | T20, ODI | Intermediate |
| Method of Next Dismissal | How the next wicket will fall: caught, bowled, LBW, run-out, etc. | All formats | Intermediate |
| Man of the Match | Which player earns the official award. Settled at end of match. | T20, ODI | Yes |
| Toss Winner | Which captain wins the coin toss. Pure 50/50 — odds are usually close to 2.00. | All formats | Yes |
| Series Winner | Which team wins the overall series (before any match is played). Long-term market. | ODI, Test series | Yes |
Live Markets During BPL
When a BPL match is live, 5gbd opens ball-by-ball markets including "Runs off next ball", "Wicket this over", and "Power-play total". These close seconds before each delivery. Only use live markets if you are watching the stream — you need to act fast.
How Decimal Odds Work
5gbd displays all cricket odds in decimal format. This is the most straightforward system — your potential return is your stake multiplied by the displayed number.
You stake ৳500 on Bangladesh at 1.85
Return if they win: ৳500 × 1.85 = ৳925
Net profit: ৳925 − ৳500 = ৳425
These are illustrative numbers only. 5gbd sets live odds at the time of betting.
| Odds Reading | What It Means |
|---|---|
| 1.01 | Very strong favourite. Bet ৳1,000 to win ৳10 profit. |
| 2.00 | Even money. Win back double your stake. |
| 3.50 | Moderate underdog. Bet ৳200 to win ৳500 back (৳300 profit). |
| 8.00 | Long shot. Potential return is 8× your stake. |
The lower the decimal number, the more likely the event is considered by the market. Odds below 2.00 mean you win less than your stake as profit.
Accumulators (Multi-Bet)
You can combine several match winner picks into one bet slip. The odds multiply together, so your potential return grows — but every single pick must be correct or the entire bet loses.
Example (illustrative): Three T20 matches, odds 1.80 × 1.90 × 1.75. Combined: 5.98. Stake ৳200, potential return ৳1,196. Miss one match and you lose ৳200.

Practical Tips Before Match Day
These are not predictions — they are process habits that keep your bankroll alive longer than a bad-luck game can drain it.
Check the Pitch Report
Flat pitches in Dhaka favour batsmen — over markets tend to hit. Spinner-friendly surfaces in Chattogram lower totals. Knowing this before the toss shapes which "Total Runs" side you pick.
Check Team News on Match Day
A top-order injury announced 30 minutes before toss shifts "Top Batsman" odds significantly. 5gbd updates its markets in real time, but you want to see the news first — not react after the price has moved.
Set a Match Budget in Advance
Decide what you are willing to spend on a single BPL night before the match starts. When it is gone, stop. Do not reload in-match chasing a loss — that is how a bad session becomes a big one.
Use the 1% Daily Cashback
5gbd credits a 1% daily cashback on net losses. It is automatic — you do not need to claim it. On a ৳2,000 losing day, you get ৳20 back. Small, but it adds up across a BPL season.
BPL vs. IPL — Which Should You Follow?
BPL runs November–January and IPL April–May. They do not overlap. BPL markets on 5gbd have local context — you likely know the teams and venues. IPL offers deeper liquidity and longer pre-match markets. Following both across the year means you always have high-quality cricket to bet on.
Bet Within Your Limits
Betting on cricket should be entertainment — the same way watching a match is entertainment. 5gbd has deposit limit tools and a self-exclusion option in your account settings if you feel you need a break.
