bdbet Cricket Betting — Bet on T20, ODI and Test Formats
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — follow every moment of cricket more closely on bdbet. Enjoy live in-play betting across multiple markets including match winner, toss and top batsman.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Competitions
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a passion. bdbet offers betting across all three international formats, and the distinct nature of each format makes every bet different.
T20: The fastest format. The situation changes with every over, making T20 the most active format for live betting. BPL and IPL are the most talked-about T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: The fifty-over one-day match combines strategy and endurance. ICC tournaments and bilateral series regularly open ODI betting markets.
Test: In this five-day format, the course of a match shifts slowly. Because a draw is a valid result, the betting markets are also different — the possibility of a draw is itself part of the market.
During the BPL season, Bangladeshi cricket fans are at their most active. Major international events like the IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy also attract a wide range of betting activity.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Alongside cricket, bdbet offers betting on football and several other popular sports. However, the betting experience differs from sport to sport.
In football, a match typically has three possible outcomes — home win, away win or draw. Markets such as goalscorer, total goals and half-time result are common. Live in-play betting is popular in football just as in cricket, but with events unfolding within 90 minutes, there is less time to decide.
Cricket has innings-, wicket- and over-based markets that do not exist in football. In Test matches, markets stay active across five days, giving far more betting opportunities. In T20, separate markets are available for each over, which makes cricket unique.
In other sports — such as kabaddi or tennis — market types are simpler, with match winner and handicap betting being the main options.
Popular Betting Markets — Detailed Guide
These are the most commonly used markets in cricket betting on bdbet. The key idea behind each one is explained below in plain language.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — team A or team B wins. In Test cricket, a draw is also an option.
Toss Bet
A bet on which team will win the toss at the start of the match. It is unrelated to anything else that happens in the match, so the outcome is an equal 50/50 chance.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter from a specific team will score the most runs. A familiar market once you look at the batting lineup.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a given number.
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in a match or innings. This market can vary considerably depending on pitch conditions and whether spinners or pacers are more effective.
Multi Bet
Placing a single bet that combines multiple selections. If all selections are correct, the return is much higher — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multi Bet — Detailed Example
You make separate selections in three different matches — with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.80 respectively. Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03 (rounded). On a ৳100 stake, if all three are correct you receive ৳403 back. However, if even one of the three is wrong, you lose the full ৳100 — that is the core rule of a multi bet.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
bdbet generally displays odds in decimal format, but it is worth understanding fractional and American formats too — as you will come across them in various contexts.
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return of ৳2.25 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake |
The Key Rules for Understanding Odds
Decimal odds are straightforward — the number directly tells you the total return (including your stake).
Fractional odds are the British format — they show only the profit amount.
American plus (+) means profit on a ৳100 stake; minus (-) means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
The lower the odds, the more that team is considered the favourite — and the lower the return.
How Odds Change in Live Betting
During a match, in-play betting odds on bdbet update after every ball. In cricket, when a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen — because their chance of winning has decreased. Equally, when runs come quickly from big shots, the bowling team's odds lengthen.
If no wickets fall quickly in the powerplay, the batting team's market stays strong. In the middle overs (overs 11–40 in ODI), changes in run rate affect odds more gradually. In the death overs (the final five overs), when batters start hitting out, odds change at their fastest.
In Test cricket, if pitch conditions change or play is interrupted by rain, markets may temporarily close. In T20, with only two overs left, there is little time to decide on live bets — so it helps to plan ahead.
Keep in mind — in-play odds change rapidly. Betting is part of entertainment, so stay within your set amount and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Set a budget: Decide how much you will stake before each match. Betting is part of entertainment — avoid placing large amounts in the hope of making a profit.
Focus on one market: Start with simpler markets like match winner or total runs. It is better not to bet across too many markets at once.
Understand the format before betting: Betting in T20 and Test cricket works differently. In T20, in-play bets require quick decisions; in Test, you have more time.
Compare odds: Look at the odds across different markets on bdbet and try to understand why a team is considered a favourite. Multi bets can offer attractive potential returns, but the risk is also higher.
Take a break after losses: If you lose several bets in a row, stop. Placing more bets to recover lost money is not the right approach — wait for the next match.
