Cricket Betting at 888bet — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From every over the Tigers play to international Test cricket — cricket betting at 888bet means live odds, multiple markets, and easy transactions via bKash or Nagad.
Favourite cricket formats and tournaments among Bangladeshi fans
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. T20 is the fastest format, with matches wrapped up in just 20 overs and the situation changing every ball. Popular leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format, and Bangladeshi fans look forward to them every season.
In ODI cricket, 50-over contests test both a team's planning and patience. Bangladesh Tigers' appearances in ICC events always double the excitement across the country. Test cricket is a five-day contest where pitch conditions, weather and squad depth all play a significant role in the betting markets.
At 888bet you can bet across all three formats — from the T20 World Cup to the BPL group stage. Multiple markets are available for each match.
Popular markets at 888bet and how to place a bet
The most commonly used markets in cricket betting are described below. A simple example is given for each to make things clear.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI — this is the most straightforward market. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win and bet on them, you get a return according to the odds if Team B wins at the end of the match.
EasiestToss Winner
Predict which team will win the coin toss before the match starts. This market closes just before the match begins. Example: If Team A wins the toss in a match between Team A and Team B, your bet is successful — it works just like a coin flip.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs for a specific team. Understanding pitch conditions and batting order helps with this market.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs (Over/Under)
Predict whether the total runs scored in an innings or across the whole match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: If the line is 160 and Team A scores 173, the over bet wins.
Numbers-BasedMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Add selections from multiple matches into a single bet — if all of them win, the odds multiply and the potential payout increases significantly. However, if even one result is wrong, the entire bet loses. This is a high-risk market.
High PotentialWickets and Overs Markets
How many wickets will fall within a certain number of overs, or how many runs will be scored in the next over — these markets are especially popular in live betting. Being able to read the pitch and the bowler's rhythm makes this market interesting.
Live MarketHow to read odds in cricket betting
888bet displays odds in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. They may seem a little complicated at first, but simple examples make them easy to understand.
| Odds Format | Team A (Winner) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2,500 on a ৳1,000 bet |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Underdog team: You bet ৳1,000 on Team A to win. Decimal odds of 2.50 mean a total return of ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back). If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite team: Team B is more likely to win, with odds of 1.80. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,800 if you win (৳800 profit). In American format this is -125, meaning you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100 profit.
These examples are for illustration only — actual odds change depending on the match and timing. Betting is for entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
Cricket Odds Example
৳1,000 on Team B → ৳2,300 returned if you win (৳1,300 profit); ৳1,000 lost if Team A wins
3 selections: odds 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximately). ৳100 bet — if all win, you get ৳378 back. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
The difference between betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, 888bet also offers football betting. The key difference in football is that a draw is a valid result — so the 1X2 market has three options: home win, draw, or away win. In T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw, though a draw is possible in Test cricket.
Football matches finish within 90 minutes, making live betting very fast-moving. In cricket, changes happen over-by-over in a more gradual way — a single wicket can cause a big swing in the odds. Multi bets are possible in both sports, but each has its own pace.
Beyond cricket betting at 888bet, you can also enjoy live games at 888bet Casino — featuring baccarat, roulette and live dealer tables, which is a completely different experience.
For those looking for a different type of game alongside betting, 888bet's slots section is a separate option — you'll find a collection from popular providers including PG Soft and Pragmatic Play.
Live Betting — odds change with every ball
The ability to place a bet after a match has started is called in-play or live betting. In cricket this is particularly engaging, because every over and every wicket directly affects the odds.
Example: Team A is batting and has scored 55 runs in the first 5 overs without losing a wicket. Team A's odds of winning will start to shorten (meaning they are becoming the favourite), while Team B's odds will lengthen. If 2 quick wickets fall in the next over, the odds will swing sharply in the other direction.
Decisions need to be made quickly in live betting — markets can pause for a few seconds at key moments. During the death overs with a hard-hitting batsman at the crease, the total runs market tends to be especially active.
Watching a match with a friend in Dhaka while doing live betting on your phone is now straightforward. Keep in mind that live betting moves fast — set a budget and enjoy the game.
What changes during live betting
The batting team's odds lengthen, the bowling team's odds shorten.
As the team's total approaches the target, the match winner odds become clearer.
The line in the total runs market is reset.
If the match is interrupted, markets may be temporarily suspended.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping that in mind makes for a better experience. The tips below apply to both new and experienced bettors.
Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each day or each week. If you reach that limit, take a break.
T20 produces more runs, so the over/under market works differently. In Test cricket, pitch behaviour plays a bigger role.
Spreading a few smaller bets instead of one large one reduces risk and helps you stay more engaged with the match.
Adding matches from tournaments you do not know well increases the chance of a multi bet failing. Focus on competitions you follow.
