5xy Series Betting — Complete Betting Markets for Cricket & Series Matches

What Is a Series Bet and What Makes It Different?

A series bet is a type of wager placed on the overall outcome of an entire series rather than a single match. For example, if two teams are playing a five-match ODI series, a series bet lets you wager on which team will win the series, by how many matches, or what the total runs across the series will be.

Series bets differ from single-match bets in several important ways. First, the final outcome of a series can take days or even weeks to be decided. Second, the performance in a single match can shift the entire direction of the series. Third, series bets often come with long-term odds that are set before the series even begins.

5xy's Series Bet section is built around Bangladesh's deep passion for cricket, covering all major formats — Test, ODI, and T20. International football, rugby, and other multi-match series markets are also available.

Transparency is at the heart of 5xy's Series Bet offering. Clear rules, odds explanations, and settlement terms for every market are provided in Bengali — making the information accessible for everyone, from first-time bettors to seasoned ones.

Important: A Series Bet is a long-term commitment. Before placing a bet, make sure you read and understand the series duration, match cancellation policy, and settlement rules. For more details, Terms & Conditions here.

Markets Available in 5xy Series Bet

Series Betting covers a range of different markets, each with its own rules and risks — it's important to understand each market thoroughly before placing a bet.

Series Winner

Bet on which team will win the most matches across the series. The simplest and most popular series market.

Example: Bangladesh will win the series 2–1.

Correct Series Score

You must predict the exact win-loss ratio for the series. Odds are higher, but so is the risk.

Example: Predicting the score as exactly 3–1 or 2–2.

Series Top Run Scorer

A prediction of which batter will score the most runs across the entire series.

Example: A specific batter will score the most runs in the series.

Series Top Wicket-Taker

A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets across the entire series.

Example: A specific bowler to take 8+ wickets.

Series Total Runs Over/Under

Predict whether the total runs scored across the entire series will be over or under a set number.

Example: Whether total runs will be over or under 1800.

Man of the Series

A prediction of which player will be named Player of the Series at the end of the series.

Example: A specific player will be the top performer of the series.
⚠ Warning: If a match is cancelled during a series, markets specific to that match are settled separately. However, the Series Winner market is generally settled based on fully completed matches. For specific rules, Terms & Conditions here.

How to Read Series Betting Odds

Reading odds in Series Betting works a little differently, as multiple outcomes are in play. 5xy displays odds primarily in Decimal format, though it's worth understanding other formats too.

Odds example — hypothetical series ODI Series (3 Matches)
Team A (Favourite) to win the series 1.65
Team B (Underdog) to win the series 2.40
Series Draw (if applicable) 4.20
Profit on a 100-unit bet (if Team A wins) +65 units
Profit on a 100-unit stake (if Team B wins) +140 units

Same odds across three formats

Decimal
2.40
European
Fractional
7/5
British
American
+140
American
Implied Probability
41.7%
1÷2.40

Calculating Probability from Odds

  • Probability from Decimal Odds: 1 ÷ Odds × 100. For example, 1 ÷ 2.40 × 100 = 41.7%.
  • Probability from Fractional odds: Denominator ÷ (Denominator + Numerator) × 100. 7/5 = 5÷(5+7) = 41.7%.
  • Overround or Vig: The implied probabilities of all outcomes add up to more than 100%. This is the bookmaker's margin.
  • Higher odds don't always mean higher returns: Higher odds mean lower probability. Risk and reward are always proportional.

In-Play Series Betting — Betting While the Series Is Live

In addition to placing bets before a series begins, 5xy also offers in-play or Live Series betting. This means odds for upcoming matches are updated during or after the first or second match of the series, allowing you to bet based on the latest information.

Advantages of In-Play Series Betting

  • After watching the first match of a series, you can assess team form and place a bet ahead of the second match.
  • You can place bets at updated odds in response to injury or weather-related changes.
  • Use the Cash Out feature to lock in your position before the series ends.
  • You can spread your risk by placing multiple bets at different odds across different points in time.

In-play Series Bet limitations

  • In-play odds change rapidly — rushed decisions are far more likely to result in mistakes.
  • In-play markets may not always be available — particularly in bad weather conditions.
  • The Cash Out amount will always be less than your original potential winnings.
  • Staying focused during live gaming is essential — fast-paced action can tempt you into placing more bets than intended.

Series Betting Across Different Cricket Formats

Series bet markets and strategies differ across cricket formats. Understanding the format helps determine which markets are worth targeting.

Test Series (5 days/match)

Test series typically consist of 2–5 matches, with each match lasting up to five days. Weather conditions and pitch conditions play a major role in Test series outcomes.

  • The Series Winner market is the most popular
  • Higher chance of a draw — that market is available too
  • Odds shift gradually over a long series

ODI Series (50 overs/match)

ODI series typically consist of 3–5 matches, each completed in a single day. Run rate and bowling strategy are especially important in this format.

  • Top Run Scorer & Wicket markets are popular
  • Series total runs Over/Under available
  • Odds adjust when a team's form changes mid-series

T20 Series (20 overs/match)

T20 series are the fastest and most unpredictable — a single over can turn the game around. Market odds can shift extremely quickly.

  • More markets for top scorers and sixes
  • In-play betting is most active in T20 series
  • Higher unpredictability — and the highest risk

About Bangladesh Cricket Series

Bangladesh's national cricket team now regularly competes in series across all three formats — Test, ODI, and T20. In home series, pitch conditions and the local environment play a significant role.

Spin bowlers tend to dominate on pitches in Chattogram and Mirpur in particular. This is a factor worth considering in your series betting strategy — though understanding the conditions is no guarantee of winning.

In addition to Bangladesh's international series, 5xy's Series Bet section also covers the world's major cricket leagues and series — including the IPL, BBL, The Ashes, and more.

Please note, however, that 5xy is not an official partner of any cricket board or team. It is an independent betting platform.

Series Bet Settlement Rules

Settlement of series bets can be more complex than single-match bets. It's important to know what happens under various circumstances.

Scenario For Pre-Match Bets For in-play bets
Series completes Settlement Based on Final Result Settlement Based on Final Result
One match abandoned (rain) Settled on remaining match results; the cancelled match may be excluded May vary depending on platform policy
Entire series cancelled Bet is typically returned (Void) Stake typically refunded (Void)
Series Partially Played Subject to platform policy Subject to platform policy
Extra match added Determined by the primary settlement market Per the primary settlement market
A player gets injured Markets remain open — bets are not voided Market remains open
⚠ Important Note: The information above is for general guidance only. For the specific settlement rules of each market, refer to 5xy's Terms & Conditions Full details are on the page. Please read it before placing any bets.

When Does a Bet Become Void?

A bet is considered Void when the specific market it covers does not reach a settleable outcome. With a void bet, the original stake is returned — there is no profit or loss. In a combination bet, if one leg is void, that leg is counted as 1.00 odds and the remaining legs continue to stand.

Settlement Timeframe

Bets are generally settled within 24–72 hours after the final match of the series concludes. However, settlement may take slightly longer depending on when the official result is confirmed. For exact timeframes, please refer to the platform's Terms & Conditions here.

How to Make Decisions in Series Betting

Betting never guarantees a win. However, making decisions based on information is always better than acting on emotion. The following factors are worth considering when placing a bet.

Data-Driven Analysis

  • Recent form: Review the win-loss record of both teams across their last 10–15 matches. Teams in good form tend to perform more consistently.
  • Home vs. Away Performance: Home advantage is significant for many teams. The pitch, weather conditions, and crowd support all work in favour of the home side.
  • Team composition: Injuries or absences of key players can have a major impact on series outcomes.
  • Weather Forecast: The likelihood of rain — especially in Test cricket — can have a significant impact on series outcomes.

What to Avoid

  • Don't bet on emotion: Favouring your preferred team can cloud your judgement — and that bias increases the risk of losses.
  • Never Chase Your Losses: Chasing losses with bigger bets almost always leads to even greater losses.
  • Don't chase extra legs: Adding more legs to a combination bet increases the odds, but the chances of winning decrease just as sharply.
  • Avoid unverified tips: Blindly following tips from social media or online "tipsters" can be dangerous.
Keep in mind: No matter how much data you analyse, no one can guarantee outcomes in an unpredictable sport like cricket. Betting always carries risk. Only wager what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

Bet on Series Responsibly

Series betting is a long-term experience — it unfolds over days or weeks. Across that extended period, it's especially important to stay composed and bet within your limits.

Series Bankroll Planning

Set a total budget for each series before it begins. Don't justify spending more simply because a series runs longer.

Mid-match break

Take breaks from betting between matches in a series. Reassess and make fresh decisions before each game.

Letting emotions drive your bets

Losing one or two matches in a series is naturally disappointing — but don't let that frustration push you into placing more bets than you should.

18+ only

No one under 18 is permitted to bet on 5xy. Keep parental controls enabled on shared family devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Betting on Series

  • Losing sleep over series results?
  • Borrowing money to bet?
  • Placing bets without your family knowing?
  • Chasing losses in a series?
  • Finding it hard to focus on work or studies?
  • Feeling like you can't stop?

If you notice any of the signs above, take a break. Seek professional help if needed.

Series Bet vs. Single Match Bet

Understanding the difference between series bets and single-match bets makes it easier to know which option suits a given situation.

Topic Series Bet Single Match Bet
Bet duration Days to weeks Duration of a single match
Market Variety Series Winner, Top Scorer, Total Runs, and more Match Winner, Toss, Man of the Match, and more
Nature of Odds Pre-Match odds are more stable In-play odds change rapidly
Risk level Long-term — a single match can change everything Short-term — results are known quickly
Caution Required You need to track the situation throughout the series Focus is only needed during match time
Cash Out Option Available throughout the series Available During the Match

Series betting suits those who enjoy making long-range predictions and are comfortable tracking how a series develops over time. Patience and informed decision-making go a long way here.

Single-match bets are ideal for those who want quick results and back a specific match outcome. They're generally more active for in-play betting.
