What Are Match Odds?
Many first-time visitors to a betting site pause when they see numbers like 1.85, 2.30, or 3.50 and wonder what they mean. These are odds – numbers set based on the probability of an event occurring, telling you exactly how much you stand to win.
Let's use an example. Say 1exbet has Bangladesh at 2.50 in a T20 match against India. If you bet ৳1,000 and Bangladesh wins, you receive ৳2,500 — your stake back plus ৳1,500 in profit.
The higher the odds, the less likely the outcome — but the bigger the reward if it comes in. That's the core principle of betting. On 1exbet, odds are displayed in decimal format, which is the easiest to read for Bangladeshi bettors.
Decimal Odds
Odds of 1.85 mean a ৳100 bet returns a total of ৳185. The most popular format among bettors in Bangladesh.
Fractional Odds
3/1 means ৳300 profit on a ৳100 bet. It's the UK style, and you'll find it on 1exbet too.
American Odds
+200 or -150 format. Less common in Bangladesh, but seen in some markets.

How Do Odds Work on 1exbet?
Many people think odds are just a number. In reality, there's a lot behind that number — statistics, team form, pitch conditions, weather, and more. 1exbet's trading team sets odds individually for every match.
Pre-match odds are generally available a few days before the match and tend to stay relatively stable. As the match draws closer and more bets come in, the odds shift accordingly.
Pre-Match Odds Setting
Opening odds are set by analyzing team form, pitch reports, and player injury status ahead of the match.
Market Movement
Odds shift based on betting patterns. When more bets come in on one side, that team's odds may shorten.
Live Odds Updates
Odds update in real time after every ball, goal, or point during a match. At 1exbet, these updates happen extremely fast.
Cash Out Option
1exbet allows partial or full cash out while a live bet is still in play.
How do 1exbet's odds compare to other platforms?
A small difference in odds may not seem significant, but over time it adds up considerably. Say one platform offers 1.85 and another offers 1.95 on the same match – just a 0.10 gap. On a ৳10,000 bet, that difference is ৳1,000 extra in your pocket.
Below is a hypothetical T20 match odds comparison between Bangladesh and India across different platforms – for illustration purposes only:
The comparison above is for reference only. Actual odds vary depending on real-time conditions.
Strategies for Betting on Live Odds
Live betting is the most thrilling part of modern online betting. Odds shift every moment while a match is in play. But those who understand these fluctuations are best placed to take advantage of them.
1exbet's live interface makes this much easier to follow. You can see the score, wickets, and overs all on one screen. In cricket, if a team has lost 5 wickets, the opposition's odds will shorten – but if you think the batsmen can recover, that may be exactly the right moment to place your bet.
That said, rushing in live betting increases the risk of mistakes. Odds move fast, so staying level-headed is key. 1exbet's cash out feature comes in handy here – it lets you lock in a profit and exit before the final result.
Practical tips for reading odds
Track Odds Movement
A sudden drop in odds usually means big bettors are backing one side heavily.
Seize the Moment
The best odds are often available the day before the match.
Understand the Market
Beyond match winner, you can find great value in top scorer and over/under markets.
Stick to your budget
Good odds alone aren't a reason to stake everything. Know your limits.
Which cricket market offers the best odds?
Cricket betting is the most popular form of wagering among bettors in Bangladesh. Beyond match winners, 1exbet offers over 200 different betting markets for cricket.
| Market | Description | Average Odds Range | Popularity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Which Team Will Win | 1.5–3.0 |
|
| Toss Winner | Toss Winner | 1.90 |
|
| Top Batsman | Top Run Scorer | 3.0–8.0 |
|
| Over/Under Runs | Over/Under Runs | 1.8–2.1 |
|
| Powerplay Runs | Total runs in the first 6 overs | 1.85–2.0 |
|
Among these markets, the Over/Under runs market is the most popular because it offers relatively better winning chances. Analysing pitch conditions and weather before placing a bet in this market during Bangladesh matches can improve your results.
1exbet also offers innings-by-innings betting, next wicket markets, Man of the Match betting, and series winner markets — with special markets added during major tournaments.
