gemex Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup, Bet on Every Match
Bet on the most popular cricket tournaments in Bangladesh at gemex. From Match Winner to Over-Total — every ball brings a new opportunity.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is more than just a game for people in Bangladesh — it is a feeling. When the BPL season arrives, a festive mood spreads across the country. At gemex you can place bets across these three main formats:
T20: The fastest format, where any over can change the face of a match. T20 betting is most active across every BPL and IPL match because events happen so rapidly. When Bangladesh Tigers play in the T20 World Cup, interest among Bangladeshi bettors reaches its peak.
ODI: The pace of this fifty-over format is a little slower, which means there are more opportunities for statistics-based markets such as Total Runs or Top Batter.
Test: The five-day match tests patience — between innings results, draws and outright winner markets, Test betting demands a different approach.
Although IPL is India's franchise league, it has a huge following in Bangladesh, so betting markets on IPL matches are widely open at gemex. ICC international events, especially the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy, create the biggest betting season of the year.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at gemex. There are some fundamental differences between the betting structure of football and cricket. A cricket match can run from a few hours to several days and factors like rain, pitch conditions or the Duckworth-Lewis method can affect the result. Football ends within a fixed 90 minutes and the three possible outcomes — win, draw or loss (1X2) — form the main market.
In T20 cricket, results remain uncertain until the last over, which drives high demand for live betting. In football, momentum shifts easily after a goal, making handicap markets more popular. For all sports, odds on gemex are displayed in decimal format, though they can also be understood in fractional and American formats — this is covered in detail in the next section.
Betting opportunities are also available on other sports such as Kabaddi, tennis and badminton. However, cricket draws the most betting traffic among Bangladeshi users.
Popular Betting Markets
Several types of markets are available for cricket betting at gemex. Each market requires a different way of thinking.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: if Team A wins your bet is successful; if Team B wins it is not. There is no draw in T20, so only two options exist.
Easy to startToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This has nothing to do with the match result — only the toss outcome counts.
Quick settlementTop Batter
A bet on which batter from a team will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. Batting order and pitch conditions need to be taken into account.
Statistics-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether runs scored will be above or below a set number (such as 160). Consider team form and pitch reports before deciding.
Numbers-drivenMulti Bet
Combining multiple bets multiplies the odds. Example: placing three bets across three matches on one ticket can return much more, but losing any single one loses the whole stake.
Higher returnTop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Whether the pitch suits spin or pace plays a big role here.
Specialist marketHow to Read Odds
Odds on gemex are shown mainly in decimal format, though knowing all three common formats is useful. The examples below are for understanding only — actual odds change at all times.
Example 1: The same price in three formats
Suppose these are the odds for Team A to win. On a ৳200 bet:
| Format | Odds | Winning Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳600 (profit ৳400) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳600 (profit ৳400) |
| American | +200 | ৳600 (profit ৳400) |
If Team A loses the full ৳200 is gone. All three formats show the same result — only the way of writing differs.
Example 2: Odds for the favourite
When Team B is the favourite their odds are lower. On a ৳200 bet:
| Format | Odds | Winning Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳360 (profit ৳160) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳360 (profit ৳160) |
| American | -125 | ৳360 (profit ৳160) |
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Here you stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. gemex generally displays decimal format. For detailed betting rules read the Terms and Conditions.
Live Betting — Place Bets During the Match
Live or in-play markets are now the fastest-growing part of cricket betting. After a match starts, odds are recalculated after every wicket, every boundary and every over.
Say Team A has scored 80 runs in 10 overs and lost 2 wickets — at that point their odds to win may shorten slightly because the pitch looks batting-friendly. If two more wickets fall in quick succession, the odds will shift fast. Live betting gives you the chance to act on these moments.
In a T20 match when the run rate comes under pressure in the final five overs, the odds on Over-Total markets move very quickly. In a Test match when the pitch breaks up on the fifth day, spinners become more likely to take wickets and the Top Bowler market odds shift accordingly.
During live betting you can watch the match on your phone or computer and place bets at the same time. The gemex mobile app (Android and iOS) lets you view live markets and bet from anywhere — the app is available through official channels.
Practical Betting Tips
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income. Keeping a few things in mind helps make the experience better.
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will spend in each session before you start. Staying within that limit keeps betting enjoyable.
Start with one market
The Match Winner market is straightforward for newcomers. As you gain experience you can move on to other markets.
Compare odds
Understanding how odds are set across different markets in the same match makes it clear how much risk each market carries.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds change quickly in in-play betting. Take time to read the situation before making a decision rather than acting in haste.
Responsible betting
Betting is entertainment — avoid placing large bets to chase losses. Learn more on the Responsible Gaming page.

Log in to gemexMulti Bet Example
A multi bet means combining multiple selections on one ticket. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential winnings can be much higher than a single bet.
A working example
Three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90.
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately).
On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections win the return is ৳426. Losing any one of them means the full ৳100 is lost.
A multi bet offers higher returns but carries higher risk — every selection must be correct.
