Cricket Betting at tbet — Odds and Markets Guide for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport through tbet. From match winner to live in-play — everything in one place. Here you will find a complete guide to understanding formats, markets, and odds.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
Cricket is more than just a game in Bangladesh — it is a feeling. From the lanes of Dhaka to the big stadiums, every Tigers match stirs the hearts of people across the country. At tbet, you can bet on all three international cricket formats.
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format, every ball matters. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, and the T20 World Cup — these three tournaments attract the most bets on tbet. Quick results and frequent wickets bring dramatic swings in live odds.
ODI Cricket
In a 50-over one-day match, strategy plays a bigger role. In major events like the ICC World Cup and Asia Cup, ODI betting markets are quite varied. Markets like top batsman, highest run-scorer, and match winner are especially popular here.
Test Cricket
Five-day Test cricket is a true test of patience and analysis. With three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw — the odds structure is different from T20 or ODI. Innings-based markets are also available in longer-form betting.

Cricket vs Football — how is the betting different?
Cricket and football have quite different betting structures. In cricket (T20 and ODI), there is generally no draw — either Team A wins or Team B wins. So the odds are split between two outcomes. In Test matches, a draw is possible. In cricket, wickets, run rate, and overs are three variables that can change the odds in an instant.
In football, the main markets are usually match winner, handicap, and number of goals. In a handicap bet, one team is given a goal advantage — for example, placing Team A on a -1 goal handicap means Team A must win by at least two goals for the bet to win. In over/under, you bet on whether the total goals will be above or below a set number.

7 popular betting markets most used on tbet
One of the big draws of cricket betting is the variety of markets. In a single match, you can bet on far more than just who will win — from the toss to the top batsman.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20/ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. Example: Team A odds 2.10, Team B odds 1.75. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳1,750 if it wins.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. The outcome is entirely random — both teams have an equal chance of winning the toss. In most cases the odds for both teams are nearly equal.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs. This market is available separately for each team — top scorer for Team A and top scorer for Team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set figure. Pitch conditions, weather, and the batting strength of each team are important factors to analyse in this market.
Combo or Multi Bet
Multiple selections from different matches are combined together. Example: if three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.80, and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13. A ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all win — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Innings and Over Markets
How many runs will be scored in the first over, whether a wicket will fall in the powerplay, or whether a six will be hit in a specific over — these markets are especially popular in live betting.
Betting Exchange Markets
In exchange betting, you do not only bet on a team to win — you can also bet on a team to lose. Example: BACK Team A at decimal odds of 2.00 with ৳1,000 — if Team A wins you make ৳1,000 profit (before commission), if they do not win you lose ৳1,000. Similarly, to LAY Team A means if Team A does not win you receive ৳1,000, but if they do win you must pay out ৳1,000.
How to read and calculate odds
Three main odds formats are available on tbet — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability in different ways.
Example 1 (Underdog): Team A to win — ৳200 bet at decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, ৳500 is returned (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Favourite): Team B to win — decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125 (American minus odds indicate how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit). A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if it wins (৳160 profit).
Keep in mind — the lower the odds, the bigger the favourite, but the lower the profit. The higher the odds, the greater the risk.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
| Return on ৳200 Bet | ৳500 (Profit ৳300) | ৳360 (Profit ৳160) |
The figures above are examples only — actual odds vary by match. Betting is for entertainment, not guaranteed profit.
Live In-Play Betting — odds change every ball
Bet while the match is in progress
With tbet's live betting feature, you can place bets even after a match has started. In cricket this is particularly interesting because every wicket, every six, or a maiden over affects the odds instantly.
Say Team A loses 3 wickets quickly in the first innings — at that moment, Team A's odds of winning will rise (because they are now under pressure), and Team B's will fall. Understanding these shifts can help you make more considered decisions in the live market.
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds increase
- A big over (sixes/fours) lowers the batting team's odds
- When run rate drops in a maiden over, the bowling team's odds improve
- If the D/L method applies, odds are recalculated
- After the powerplay, new markets open based on the situation
