Cricket Betting at 880bet – BPL, IPL to T20 World Cup
880bet offers cricket fans in Bangladesh the ability to bet across T20, ODI and Test formats. From match winner to top batsman — place bets across all markets and follow every moment of the match with live in-play.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
T20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per innings — every ball counts. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format. Because matches are short, results can change quickly, making it the most suitable format for live betting.
One Day International (ODI)
A 50-over match for each team — a test of strategy and patience. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format. Because matches are longer, there are good opportunities in markets like top batsman or total runs.
Test Cricket
A five-day match — the oldest and most prestigious format in cricket. The Tigers face the world's top teams here. In Test cricket a draw is also a possible result, so you can bet on three-outcome markets.
From BPL to International Cricket
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is a celebration in itself. Beyond the domestic franchise tournament, every IPL match also draws keen interest. At 880bet, betting markets are available for both of these tournaments as well as ICC international matches.

The difference between cricket and football betting lies in the number of possible outcomes. In football, win, loss and draw are all possible, so the odds work somewhat differently. In T20 cricket there is no draw, meaning only two outcomes are possible and the market is comparatively straightforward.
Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
At 880bet, a single cricket match offers multiple markets to bet on. Below is an introduction to the most commonly used ones.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20, three in Test. Example: in a bet between team A and team B, you select the winning team.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This market stays open right up until the toss is taken.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. Pick the top scorer within a team.
Total Runs — Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or a match will be over or under a set number.
Multi Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches. If all selections are correct, the payout is larger — but if any single one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual advantage to level the field. Example: giving team A a 10-run advantage means they 'virtually' start 10 runs ahead.
How to Read and Calculate Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three present the same information in different ways. The table below uses an example to explain each.
| Format | Odds on team A winning | Odds on team B winning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
Example 1 — if team A wins: A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000 + original stake ৳500). If lost, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — team B as favourite: Decimal odds of 1.25 mean a ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳625 (profit ৳125). In American format, -400 means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Decimal odds are the simplest
In decimal format, multiply your stake by the number to get the total return. For example, ৳500 × 3.00 = ৳1,500.
In fractional format, 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. In American format, a '+' sign indicates the underdog and a '−' sign indicates the favourite.

Live In-Play — Bet During the Match
In-play betting means you can still place bets after a match has started. When a wicket falls or a team scores quickly, odds change instantly. At 880bet, these changes are reflected in real time.
Say team A has lost 3 wickets in the first 10 overs — team B's chances of winning increase and their odds shorten. The ability to analyse which side to back at that moment is the main feature of in-play betting.
After the powerplay, or when the pace slows in the middle overs, new markets may be added — such as how many runs will be scored in the next 5 overs, or who will take the next wicket. These smaller markets are created based on specific match situations.
In-play betting demands quick decisions. It is best to set your own limits and treat it as entertainment.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Start with one format
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules. Get to know one format well first, then move on to the others.
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet before each match. Betting is entertainment — not a way to earn money.
Be careful with multi bets
In a multi bet, one wrong selection loses the entire bet. Start with fewer selections and build experience gradually.
Do not rush in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Rather than placing large bets on impulse, assess the match situation before deciding.
Bet responsibly
Betting is for entertainment only — if you lose, placing even more bets to try to recover is not the right approach. Read about the responsible gaming policy.
