Cricket Betting at betbdt — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
T20, ODI and Test — you can bet on cricket across all three formats at betbdt. From match winner to live in-play markets, the full experience is in one place.
The three formats of cricket and which competitions are available at betbdt
T20, ODI and Test — each format calls for a different betting approach.
T20 — fast game, sharp bets
T20 is the most popular format because all the action unfolds within 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL T20 matches draw the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. betbdt covers both tournaments as well as the ICC T20 World Cup.
ODI — a game of patience and strategy
In a 50-over match, mid-game shifts can have a big impact on betting markets. The choice to bat or field after winning the toss sometimes changes the entire course of the match.
Test — the ultimate test of patience
Betting on five-day Test matches involves far more variables. Pitch conditions, weather and each day's play can all shift the market. The Bangladesh Tigers' home Tests are matches that betbdt bettors follow with particular attention.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
Understanding the differences between sports makes it easier to choose the right market.
Football betting
Football matches finish within 90 minutes and a draw is a valid result. The "1X2" market is the most popular here — team A wins, draw, or team B wins. Premier League and La Liga matches are available at betbdt.
3 outcomes 1X2Cricket Betting
Cricket typically has two outcomes (no draw in T20 or ODI), but the variety of markets is much greater. Over/under, top batsman, wicket predictions — these types of markets set cricket apart.
2 outcomes Many marketsOther sports
Betting on sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi is more straightforward — you generally pick one of two competitors. Even so, live markets for these sports can be just as engaging.
Simple markets Live bettingPopular betting markets at betbdt
The 6 most familiar cricket betting markets and how each one works.
Match Winner
Who will win between the two teams — this is the simplest market. Pick team A or team B. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two outcomes.
Most popularToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is completely independent — it has no connection to the match result. It is an easy option to get a feel for the markets when starting out.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs — within a specific team or across the whole match. This is a favourite market among cricket-savvy bettors, as you need to weigh up a batter's form alongside the pitch conditions.
Performance betTotal Runs Over / Under
Bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. For example, whether team A's first innings will exceed 160 runs.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined, and you win only if every one of them is correct. A multi bet offers bigger potential returns — but if even one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Full details on multi bets are available on the betbdt Bet page.
Multiple selectionsPlayer Props and Special Markets
How many wickets will fall, which over will see the first six, or which bowler will take the most wickets — these special markets are available at betbdt for selected matches.
Special marketsUnderstanding the three odds formats
Decimal, fractional and American — all three express the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (team A win)
Say the odds for team A winning are shown in all three formats. With a ৳500 bet:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return of ৳2.25 per ৳1 staked (profit plus stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit on a ৳4 bet |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign = underdog) |
A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 if you win (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (team B win)
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return of ৳1.80 per ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit on a ৳5 bet |
| American | -125 | Minus sign means favourite — ৳125 bet wins ৳100 profit |
A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if you win (৳400 profit + ৳500 stake).
Simple rules for reading odds
- Decimal is the easiest — the higher the number, the lower the chance of winning but the greater the potential profit.
- Fractional is widely used in the UK. 5/1 means ৳5 profit on a ৳1 bet.
- American plus (+) means that team is the underdog; minus (–) means the favourite.
- All three formats convey the same information — choose whichever is easiest for you to follow.
- Decimal is the default format at betbdt, but you can change it in settings.
"Team A / Team B" are used as examples only — these are not odds for any specific team or a commitment about any particular match.
Live In-Play Betting — bet while the match is on
Odds change when wickets fall or overs progress — placing a bet at that moment is in-play betting.
How wickets and overs change the odds
Live betting in cricket is particularly engaging because a single wicket or a big six can shift the market instantly. Say team A has scored 85 runs for the loss of 1 wicket after the first 10 overs — at that point their odds to win the match will be much shorter than before the game started, meaning they have become the favourite.
Then if 3 wickets fall in the last 5 overs, the situation can reverse quickly. The bowling team's odds will shorten. These rapid swings are what set live betting apart.
What is available in live markets
- Runs in the next over (over runs)
- Whether the next batter will be dismissed
- Current innings final score over / under
- In-play match winner — updated odds at any point in the match
Useful tips for getting started with betting
Advice from experienced bettors — stay within your entertainment limits and bet sensibly.
- Start with one market. Match winner is the simplest — once you are comfortable with it, move on to top batsman or over/under.
- Set a budget before you start. Betting is for entertainment — decide how much you are willing to spend each session before you begin. Reading the responsible gaming guide will give you a better understanding of this.
- Be careful with multi bets. Three selections with decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 combined could return ৳378 on a ৳100 bet, but if even one is wrong the full ৳100 is lost.
- Act quickly in live betting. In-play markets move fast — check the score and the current situation before placing your bet.
- Read the rules. Before betting, take a look at betbdt's terms and conditions — it is especially important to understand the wagering requirements attached to bonuses.
- Take a break if betting feels like a chore. betbdt has self-limit and break options available — using them is a sign of awareness, not weakness.
