Cricket Betting at bet bdt — place bets on all matches from BPL to the T20 World Cup
bet bdt brings cricket betting across all formats for fans in Bangladesh — covering markets from Match Winner to Toss, with live odds and in-play betting.
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own character and betting approach.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Twenty20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per side — this is the fastest-paced format. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular tournaments in this category. A single over can change the entire picture of a match, so odds shift quickly.
One Day International
Strategy is a little more complex in this 50-over format. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series fall here. Mid-match run rates and partnerships keep reshaping the betting markets.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format a draw is a valid result, so markets offer three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, Draw. Pitch conditions, weather and bowling conditions have the biggest influence on odds.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
For fans in Bangladesh, BPL is more than a tournament — it is an event. bet bdt offers competitive odds for every BPL season. IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup, the Champions Trophy and various bilateral series are also covered.
Interest in every Bangladesh Tigers match is naturally high among supporters. bet bdt lets you turn that interest directly into betting markets — but keep in mind that cricket betting is a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income.

Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
bet bdt is not limited to cricket; football and other sports are available here too.
Football Betting
Football has three possible outcomes — home win, draw, away win. You can bet on English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup matches. Compared to cricket, football features more markets like Over/Under goals, Asian Handicap and number of corners.
Cricket vs Other Sports
Cricket has unique markets like runs per over, toss, top wicket-taker and top batsman that do not exist in football or tennis. Test cricket's draw possibility also gives the odds a different structure. Before betting, it makes sense to focus on markets for the sport you understand best.
7 Popular Betting Markets with Simple Examples
There are many ways to bet on cricket. The most commonly used markets are explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win? T20 or ODI gives two options (Team A / Team B); Test gives three (Team A / Team B / Draw). For example: a ৳1,000 bet on Team A returns ৳1,650 if they win (at odds of 1.65).
Simple All FormatsToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — odds here are usually nearly equal because the result depends entirely on chance. It is popular for getting a quick result.
Quick Result Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which player from a given team will score the most runs? For example, the Top Batsman market for Team A will list several candidates, each with their own odds.
Specialist MarketTotal Runs — Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs in a match or innings will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. For example: will the match total exceed 320 runs?
T20 Popular ODI PopularMulti Bet (Accumulator)
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply for a bigger return — but if even one is wrong, the whole bet is lost. Example: three selections at 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 give combined odds of 3.36.
Higher Return Higher RiskTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets — a bowler's recent form and the type of pitch matter a lot in this market. It is available in both T20 and ODI formats.
Bowling FocusSpecial markets such as Man of the Match and Handicap Runs are also available at bet bdt. Each market has its own odds and conditions. Before you start betting, read the terms and conditions carefully.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. Once you understand each briefly, the calculation is straightforward.
| Format | Odds on Team A to win | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked (including stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign means underdog) |
| Format | Odds on Team B to win (favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return of ৳1.25 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | Minus means favourite — you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100 |
Team A's odds: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150.
A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,250 if they win (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake back); if they lose, ৳500 is gone.
Team B's odds: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400.
A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳625 if they win (৳125 profit). American minus odds mean favourite — you need ৳400 to win ৳100.
bet bdt generally displays Decimal odds — these are the easiest to read.
Odds shift instantly when a wicket falls — In-Play Betting
Betting while a match is in progress is called in-play betting. In cricket this is highly dynamic — a single wicket can change the odds entirely on the very next ball.
For example: Team A is chasing 150 in 20 overs. After 10 overs they have 80 runs with 7 wickets in hand, so the odds on Team A winning will shorten (meaning they are the favourite). But if three wickets fall in the next over, the odds will flip quickly.
There is less time to decide in in-play betting. You must confirm your selection before the market closes, so it is better not to place large bets in a rush.
- Odds move the most during the first Powerplay — stay alert.
- In the death overs (16–20), the Over/Under market becomes interesting depending on the run rate.
- Even in live betting, decide your stake amount beforehand — do not increase it on impulse.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more disciplined.
-
Set a budget first
Decide in advance how much you will set aside for each match or week. Do not go beyond that limit — whether you are winning or losing.
-
Build knowledge in one format
T20, ODI and Test each have a different character. Betting on the format you understand best makes decision-making easier.
-
Small bets across multiple markets
Rather than putting all your money on one market, spreading smaller bets across a few markets distributes the risk. Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk.
-
Check pitch and weather
If there is a chance of rain, be cautious before betting on Total Runs markets. On a spin-friendly pitch, bowling markets may be worth considering.
-
Betting is entertainment, not a business
