Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Betting Guide for Each
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a passion. Before starting cricket betting at bd88, it helps to have a clear understanding of the three main formats, because the way you bet differs across each one.
T20 is the most popular format. Matches wrap up in just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are the two tournaments that draw the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup attract the highest level of attention.
ODI matches are played over 50 overs, which means betting markets are more detailed. Odds can shift several times during the middle overs, making live betting particularly engaging.
In Test cricket, play continues over five days and a draw is a valid result. That gives you three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This sets it apart from T20 and ODI, where a draw is generally not an option.
T20 and BPL / IPL
The fastest format — odds change every over, live betting is at its most active.
T20 BPL IPLODI — A Game of Strategy
Broader betting markets, with noticeable odds movement at each powerplay.
ODI ICCCricket vs Football and Other Sports Betting
bd88 offers betting on football alongside cricket. Markets for English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and UEFA Champions League matches include match winner, Asian handicap and goals over/under.
There is one key difference between cricket and football betting — in cricket, every ball and every wicket directly shifts the odds. In football, odds change when goals are scored, but goals are relatively infrequent. Events happen far more often in cricket, so there is less time to decide in live betting.
bd88 also has simulated cricket and football matches in Virtual Sports — where you can bet at any time of day or night without waiting for a real match season.
Markets are also available for tennis, badminton, kabaddi and a few other sports. Cricket is by far the most popular sport in Bangladesh, so bd88 carries the largest number of cricket markets.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Match Winner
Pick which team will win. If Team A wins, your bet succeeds; if Team B wins, you lose the bet.
Toss Betting
Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match. A straightforward market that settles quickly, with roughly equal odds for each side.
Top Batsman
Select which batsman will score the most runs in an innings — either within one team or across the whole match.
Total Runs Over / Under
Decide whether the total runs scored in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number.
Multi Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches. If all selections are correct, the return is larger; if one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings — a market based on bowling performance.
Multi Bet Example
In a multi bet, three selections from three separate matches are combined. Say the decimal odds for the three matches are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60. The combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 — but only if all three selections win. If even one fails, you lose the full ৳100.
Multi bets are entertaining, but they carry higher risk. Always bet for enjoyment — there is no guarantee of profit. Read about responsible betting.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Online betting sites including bd88 display odds in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. They look different but express the same value.
| Odds Format | Team A Win (Example 1) | Team B Win (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog)
A ৳200 bet on Team A returns ৳600 if they win (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If they lose, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite)
A ৳200 bet on Team B returns ৳360 if they win (৳160 profit + ৳200 stake). American odds of -125 mean you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit.
Simple Rules for Reading Odds
- Decimal: Odds × Stake = Total Return. 3.00 × ৳200 = ৳600.
- Fractional: 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked.
- American Plus (+): Profit from a ৳100 stake.
- American Minus (-): How much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
The lower the odds, the more favoured the team. The higher the odds, the less likely the win but the greater the return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
Live in-play betting is one of the most engaging parts of cricket betting. You can place bets after a match has started and the odds update instantly with each event.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen because their chances of winning have decreased. If runs come quickly during the powerplay, the batting team becomes the favourite and the bowling team's odds lengthen. If a team needs 60 runs off the last five overs, their odds will be much higher at that point.
Joining live markets while watching a BPL match from Dhaka is straightforward with bd88. Keep in mind that live betting leaves less time to decide — so set your budget before the match starts.
Live betting is more convenient on mobile. Use the bd88 Android and iOS app to follow matches and place bets quickly from anywhere.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Set Your Budget First
Decide how much you will bet before each match. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
Focus on One Market
Rather than spreading across many markets at once, build experience on simpler markets like match winner or total runs over/under first.
Watch the Pitch and Weather
Rain, pitch conditions and the toss result can all change the course of a match — find out about these in advance.
Understand the Tournament Format
Teams approach group stage and knockout matches differently. In a knockout, teams tend to play more cautiously.
Betting is Entertainment
Betting is not a source of income — it is a form of entertainment. Do not bet more than you can afford.
