Cricket Betting at bitbet — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bangladesh's most popular sport, now closer than ever. Bet on match winner, toss, top batsman and dozens of other markets at bitbet — live odds, fast payments, support in Bangla.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Competitions
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to have a clear understanding of the three main formats. T20 is the fastest format — each team faces just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and a single ball can turn a match around. From a betting standpoint, it offers the most markets.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is played over 50 overs per side. This longer format has many more markets around top batsman, bowling figures and total runs. Interest in this format is highest during the ICC World Cup and one-day series.
Test cricket is a five-day contest — a draw is a valid result here. The three possible outcomes mean odds and markets work differently.
The competitions followed most closely in Bangladesh are BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup. bitbet also has active markets for the Bangladesh Tigers' international matches. Betting opportunities are available regularly for ICC tournaments and bilateral series as well.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at bitbet. In football, a match generally has three outcomes — home win, away win or draw. This three-way structure is different from the two-way structure of T20 cricket, so the odds work differently too. Football also has markets like half-time/full-time and goalscorer bets that do not have direct equivalents in cricket.
In cricket betting, every over and wicket shifts the odds — this happens far more frequently than goals in football, which makes in-play betting especially lively in cricket.
Among casino games, you can also try your luck at card games like Andar Bahar — a completely different experience where the result is instant.
Popular Betting Markets — A Quick Overview
Which cricket market you bet on depends on the match format and your preference. Below is a brief description of seven main markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. In T20, two outcomes (Team A or Team B); in Test, three (including draw).
EasiestToss Winner
Bet on which team wins the coin toss before the match starts — a market entirely separate from the match result.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Pick which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in an innings. Knowing the batting lineup makes this market easier to decide on.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether runs scored in an innings or the full match will be over or under a set number — two options.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches — odds multiply so potential returns increase, but if one selection is wrong the entire bet loses.
Multiple MatchesNext Wicket / Dismissal
In live betting, bet on which over the next wicket will fall in, or what the method of dismissal will be — these fast markets are only available in-play.
Live MarketMulti Bet example: If three separate selections have odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳581 if all selections win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. (Team A / Team B — for illustration only, not actual odds.)
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
The same price can be written in three different ways. bitbet generally uses decimal format, but understanding the other two is also useful.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Result on a ৳1,000 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal Easiest |
2.25 | If you win, you receive ৳2,250 back (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone. |
| Fractional British format |
5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked — the same ৳2,250 return on ৳1,000. |
| American Plus/minus format |
+125 | +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet — the result is the same. |
Slightly different for the favourite: If Team B is considered more likely to win, their decimal odds might be 1.50 (fractional: 1/2, American: −200).
In American format, a minus (−) sign means favourite — −200 means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, a win returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
Odds Change with Every Wicket — Live Betting
Live betting in cricket is a distinct experience. Odds update instantly at the end of every over, after every wicket, and when the powerplay ends. When a key wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise and the bowling team's odds drop — this constant movement is what makes in-play betting particularly engaging.
20 runs needed off the last over — the odds reflect that situation. If the next ball goes for six, the picture changes entirely and the odds shift accordingly. This is how new opportunities keep appearing in live markets.
Bear in mind though — betting is for entertainment, not a strategy for profit. Do not bet more than you can afford to lose. Read our guidelines on responsible gaming.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
A few simple things to keep in mind will make your cricket betting experience better.
Understand One Market Well
Start by focusing on simpler markets like match winner or total runs. Placing bets across too many markets at once makes decisions harder.
Stick to a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session and stick to that limit. Betting is one form of entertainment, not a livelihood.
Adjust Your Approach by Format
Odds move much faster in T20 and ODI. In Test, the situation changes more slowly, so the pace of live betting is different.
Keep Multi Bet Selections Small
The more selections you add to a multi bet, the greater the risk of one going wrong. Keeping it to two or three selections keeps things more manageable.
Set Your Odds Format
Before you start betting, make sure you understand decimal, fractional and American odds. Setting your preferred format makes calculations easier.
