Cricket Betting at bet1 – Bet on T20, ODI and Test
bet1 brings comprehensive sports betting for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From BPL to the T20 World Cup, IPL to international bilateral series — there are multiple markets to bet on in every match.
Cricket Betting — Formats and Competitions
From T20 to Test — each format has its own betting style, and bet1 covers them all
T20, ODI and Test: Three Different Experiences
T20 matches are fast-paced. With results decided in just 20 overs, betting markets are intense and shift every over. BPL and IPL T20 seasons attract the most attention from Bangladeshi fans.
ODI format features a long contest over 50 overs. Mid-match situations can change quickly here, making live betting markets especially useful. Bangladesh Tigers international ODI series are always a major topic in the betting community.
Test cricket is a five-day game. Markets such as match winner, draw, or series result are available. Innings-by-innings statistics can shift the balance of bets significantly.
The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments offer the most markets of any events in the year — from every group match through to the final.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, bet1 offers betting on football and many other sports
Outside cricket, football is the second most popular sport in Bangladesh. From tea stalls in Dhaka to college hostels, Premier League or World Cup qualifier matches are talked about everywhere. At bet1, football markets include match winner, goalscorer, handicap lines, and more.
Cricket and football betting differ strategically. In cricket there are three possible outcomes — win, loss, or draw (in Tests), while limited-overs matches have just two. In football, three outcomes are generally possible: home win, draw, and away win. This difference also affects how odds are set.
bet1 also has betting markets for sports like badminton, tennis, and kabaddi depending on the season. However, the main focus of this page is cricket.

Introduction to Popular Betting Markets
Here is an explanation of how the seven most commonly used markets in cricket betting work
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and they win, your bet wins.
Toss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss before the match begins. The result is known quickly and does not depend on how the match plays out.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings. The odds on this market shift quickly as wickets fall or run pressure builds.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a run total — for example, 160. You bet on whether the actual runs scored will be over or under that number.
Multi Bet
Multiple match outcomes are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the total odds are multiplied together to calculate the return — if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Pitch conditions and weather play a big role in this market.
Innings Score Range
Bet on what range a team's total innings score will fall into — for example 150–170 or 171–190. This is especially popular in T20.
How to Read Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — three formats with practical examples
Odds represent the potential return on a bet. They are displayed in three formats worldwide. At bet1 you can choose whichever format you prefer.
| Format | Team A odds | Result on a ৳1,000 stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return ৳2,250 if won (profit ৳1,250) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same result — ৳1,250 profit on ৳1,000 |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake (not minus) |
Example 1: assuming Team A wins — decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,250 if won — ৳1,250 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back. If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2: if Team B is the favourite their odds might be decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400. This means a ৳1,000 stake on Team B returns a total of ৳1,250 (only ৳250 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.

Remember: In decimal format the original stake is included in the figure shown, but in fractional and American formats only the profit portion is displayed. Decimal format is the most common at bet1.
Live Betting — the In-Play Experience
Market conditions change with every over and wicket while the match is in progress
How wickets and overs shift the odds
The most important aspect of in-play cricket betting is how quickly things change. When a key wicket falls or the powerplay ends, the winning odds for both teams update immediately.
Say Team A is batting. If they reach 60 runs in the first 6-over powerplay without losing a wicket, their odds of winning shorten (they become the favourite). Conversely, if they are 70 for 3 after 10 overs, the odds will swing in favour of Team B.
In ODIs, the remaining overs and required run rate are a key factor. Analysing the situation ball by ball in each over makes it possible to make better betting decisions from in-play markets.

Practical Tips for Getting Started with Betting
Betting is for entertainment — staying within your limits is the best approach
-
Start with one format: T20 matches finish quickly and results are relatively straightforward to follow. T20 is a good starting point for beginners. Rather than jumping into T20, ODI, and Test all at once, build experience in one format first.
-
Understand the market before you bet: There are many markets beyond just 'which team will win'. Toss betting is simple and gives a quick result. With over/under markets you do not have to side with either team.
-
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake each week or month. Betting is a form of entertainment — avoid placing bigger bets to chase losses.
-
Be patient with in-play betting: Rushing decisions in live betting is not a good idea. It is sensible to wait for the odds to settle after a wicket falls or a six is hit.
-
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk. If any selection is wrong, the whole bet is lost. Start with two-selection multi bets to gain experience before going larger.
-
Bet responsibly: Betting is for ages 21+. Know your limits and take a break when needed. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help you build healthy betting habits.
Betting is for ages 21+ and is a form of entertainment only. There is no guarantee of winning — only bet with money you can afford to lose.
