888bd Cricket Betting – Place Bets on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to ICC tournaments — 888bd offers betting on cricket across all formats. Explore the markets, understand the odds and try live betting.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is an emotion. To bet on cricket at 888bd, it helps to understand the formats first, because each format has different types of markets.
| Format | Overs | Betting Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs | Fast-paced, high run fluctuations — most popular for live betting |
| ODI | 50 overs | Medium length, multiple turning points — match winner and total runs markets are active |
| Test | 5 days | Long-form — opportunities for innings bets, series winner and draw markets |
BPL and IPL attract the most interest among Bangladeshi fans. The Bangladesh Tigers' international matches, especially the ICC T20 World Cup and one-day series, stay in focus throughout the year. On 888bd, multiple betting markets for all these tournaments are open at the same time.
Differences in Betting on Football and Other Sports
Football is also popular on 888bd alongside cricket. However, the betting structures of the two sports differ considerably. In cricket, there is a direct win market between two teams (no draw in limited-overs matches), while in football a draw is possible, so the market is in 1X2 format.
Cricket has many specialist markets that football does not — such as top batsman, total wickets, over-by-over runs or toss result. Just as football has goalscorer or corner count markets, cricket has different types of markets built around each innings.
Those looking to go beyond cricket and try something different can browse the wide range of live games and table games at 888bd Casino.
Football Betting
1X2, handicap and goals over/under — three possible outcomes need to be considered.
1X2 Market6 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own characteristics. Some carry less risk, others offer higher potential returns — understanding them makes betting more enjoyable.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win. No draw in limited-overs cricket, so there are two sets of odds. Example: if Team A wins the bet succeeds; if Team B wins it is lost.
Simple MarketToss Bet
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Both teams have roughly equal chances, so odds are close. Result is known quickly — right at the first moment of the match.
Fast MarketTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Example: pick one of Team A's batters — if that player scores the highest runs, the bet wins.
Batter MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs will be above or below a set number (e.g. 160). Example: in T20, choosing Over means you win if 161 or more runs are scored.
Runs MarketTop Bowler
Bet on the bowler who will take the most wickets. This market is more popular in Test and ODI. Example: pick a pace bowler from Team B — if that player takes the most wickets, the bet wins.
Bowler MarketMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. Example: Match Winner + Top Batsman + Total Over — if all three are correct, the return multiplies; one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
Combo MarketHow to Read and Understand Odds
Odds can be written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. 888bd generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three makes betting easier.
Example 1 — Odds for Team A to win (stake ৳200)
Example 2 — Odds for favourite Team B (stake ৳200)
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the stake directly to get the total return. A negative American odds figure means that team is the favourite — the larger the minus number, the more you need to stake to win ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift the Moment a Wicket Falls
The most engaging betting on cricket is live in-play. After the match starts, odds change with every ball — when a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately and the fielding team's odds drop.
For example, if Team A is batting at 110 runs in the 15th over of a T20 and two quick wickets fall, their odds of winning rise noticeably — placing a bet on Team B at that moment could offer a higher potential return. But if a big shot comes in the next over, the situation can reverse again.
In live betting there is less time to decide, so it is worth setting your budget before placing any bets. For full details on 888bd's betting rules, visit the Responsible Gaming page.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set your budget first. Decide how much you will stake in each session before you start. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to place extra bets trying to recover losses.
- Focus on one format. T20, ODI or Test — each has different rules and markets. Sticking to one format at first leads to a better betting experience.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combo bets increase the potential return, but one wrong selection loses everything. It is safer not to stake large amounts on multi bets.
- Keep pitch and weather in mind. On a spin-friendly pitch, the bowling team's odds tend to be lower. A rain forecast can affect total runs markets.
- Do not rush in live betting. Odds change quickly — observe the situation after each over before making a decision.
