Cricket Betting at btd88 — place bets at live odds across all formats from T20 to Test
Follow every moment of BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket more closely — in btd88's cricket betting section you can bet on match winner, toss, top batsman and many more markets.
Cricket's three formats and popular competitions
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world — and for people in Bangladesh it is more than just a game, it is a passion. At btd88 you can bet across three main formats. Each format has its own pace, strategy and betting characteristics.
T20
In this 20-over format, matches change rapidly. Odds can shift on every ball, making T20 the most engaging format for live betting. BPL and IPL are both played in this format.
ODI
This 50-over format blends strategy and patience. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. From a betting perspective, reading the match at the mid-point matters a great deal here.
Test
This five-day format is the highest test in cricket. Pitch conditions, weather and shifting momentum make betting analysis fairly complex. There are opportunities to bet on longer-term markets.
Popular Competitions
BPL: The Bangladesh Premier League is Bangladesh's biggest T20 tournament. Featuring local and overseas stars, this tournament has betting markets available at btd88.
IPL: The Indian Premier League is the most talked-about T20 competition in South Asia. It is also widely popular among fans in Bangladesh.
International Matches: The T20 World Cup, ICC ODI World Cup, Test series and all international series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers. Special markets are open for Tigers matches.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, btd88 also offers betting markets on football and other sports. There are some key differences between football and cricket betting that new bettors should understand.
In football there are generally three possible outcomes — home win, draw or away win. Because of this three-way result, odds are structured somewhat differently. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI), draws rarely happen, so the market is usually between two possible outcomes.
In football you can find various prop markets such as goalscorer, number of corners and red cards. In cricket the equivalent markets are number of wickets, over-rate and partnership markets. In live betting, the speed at which odds shift in cricket on every ball can be sharper than in football.
At btd88, betting markets are available for football, tennis and various other sports in addition to cricket. Visit btd88 Bet's sportsbook section to see the full list of available sports and markets.
Cricket vs football — differences in live betting
In cricket, odds update instantly when a wicket falls or a big shot is played. In football, a goal or red card brings a major shift. The rhythm and market dynamics of the two sports are different — it is worth getting to know your preferred format well before you start betting.
Popular betting markets in cricket
In btd88's cricket section you will find various types of betting markets. Knowing how each market works makes betting more comfortable.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which team will win the match. The most straightforward market in T20 and ODI. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team A and Team A wins, you win.
Most PopularToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. It has no connection to the match result, making it a simple entry-level market. The toss outcome is usually confirmed shortly before the match starts.
For BeginnersTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This market focuses on individual performance rather than the team's win or loss.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in an innings or a set number of overs will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a given number. Example: will Team A score more than 48 runs in the first 6 overs?
Runs BasedMulti Bet
Bets from multiple matches or events are combined on a single slip. You win only if every selection is correct, but the combined odds are much higher. For example: if three matches have odds of 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26, a ৳100 bet returns ৳426 — but only if all of them win.
Multiple SelectionsTop Bowler / Man of the Match
You can bet on special markets such as which bowler will take the most wickets or who will be named Man of the Match. These typically offer much higher odds but are harder to predict.
Special MarketsDecimal, Fractional and American — three forms of odds
There are three main ways odds are displayed in betting. They all express the same information in different ways. The two examples below should make things clear.
Example 1 — odds for an underdog
Team A to win, ৳500 bet — the same value in three formats:
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply the profit by the stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If it loses: the full ৳500 stake is gone.
Example 2 — odds for a favourite
Team B to win, ৳500 bet — a favourite's odds are lower:
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Multiply the profit by the stake |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 |
| American | -125 | ৳100 profit on a ৳125 bet |
American minus odds: this shows how much you need to stake in order to win.
btd88 generally displays decimal odds, which are the easiest to calculate. All three formats express the same probability — only the presentation differs.
Live betting during the match — odds change wicket by wicket
One of the most distinctive features of cricket is how quickly things can turn. A single wicket can change the whole direction of a match — and the betting odds shift along with it.
In live betting you can place bets after the match has started. For example, Team A is batting and two wickets have fallen in quick succession — at this point Team B's odds of winning may shorten. Then if a big batsman comes to the crease, the odds will shift again.
Over-by-over betting, who will take the next wicket, how many runs will be scored in the next over — these kinds of small event-based markets are also available in live betting.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Betting on live cricket via the btd88 App is convenient because you can place bets while watching the match.
Some practical advice for cricket betting
Betting is entertainment — it should not be seen as a way to earn income. That said, betting with awareness makes for a better experience.
Start with one market
If you are a new bettor, focus only on the match winner market at first. Once you understand the basics, move on to other markets.
Set a budget
Before each session, decide how much you will bet and stick to it. Betting is entertainment; you should not go beyond your budget.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher odds but also carry higher risk. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Strategy differs by format
T20 and Test cricket move at different paces. In T20 the final overs are critically important; in Test matches pitch conditions and weather have a greater influence.
Stay patient in live betting
Avoid making quick decisions in the heat of the match. Wait a moment for the odds to settle before acting.
Play responsibly
Follow the guidelines on betting. For more information, read the Responsible Gaming page.

Questions and answers about cricket betting
T20 format generally has the most active betting markets, because matches are short and fast-moving, making live betting much more engaging. ODI matches also offer good markets, especially in major tournaments. Test matches have comparatively fewer markets, though match-result markets are always available.
In a multi bet, all selections are combined together. If even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For example: three selections with odds 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26. On a ৳100 bet, if all win you get back ৳426, but if any one loses the full ৳100 is gone.
Live betting markets open as soon as the match starts. In cricket, odds can update after every ball. A wicket falling, a big six, or a series of dot balls — any of these moments can shift the market. In btd88's cricket section you can view live markets and place bets while the match is in progress.
Decimal odds of 1.80 means you get back a total of ৳1.80 for every ৳1 staked (including your stake). On a ৳500 bet, a win returns ৳900 — which includes ৳400 profit and your ৳500 stake back. This is equivalent to fractional odds of 4/5 or American odds of -125.
Yes. In major T20 leagues like BPL and IPL, you can usually find special markets beyond match winner — such as toss winner, top batsman, total runs over/under, and multi bets. International matches carry similar markets, though the number of markets may vary depending on the importance of the match.
