678bd Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Different markets across every cricket format, how to read odds, and the details of live betting — all in one place.
Three Cricket Formats and Tournaments Bangladeshis Love
Before betting on cricket it is important to understand the formats, because the style of play differs in each and the odds change accordingly.
T20: In this 20-over format results can turn around very fast. Bangladeshi fans follow tournaments like BPL and IPL most closely. Every ball can produce a six, so live odds move at every moment.
ODI: Strategy matters more in a fifty-over match. Bangladesh Tigers games in ICC tournaments or bilateral series generate excitement across the country. Total runs and partnership markets are especially popular here.
Test: In a five-day match a draw is possible, so odds are offered for three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or the match is drawn. This is a completely different betting experience from T20.
T20 World Cup, BPL and IPL — these three tournaments see the highest activity from Bangladeshi bettors. Betting markets for international matches are also shaped by the Tigers' performance.
How Football and Other Sports Betting Differ
Football Betting
In international football a 90-minute match typically has three outcomes — home win, away win and draw. Unlike cricket, there are no over-based or wicket-based markets. Number of goals, first goalscorer and half-time score are the popular markets here.
Just as odds shift with every ball in a T20 match, in football that happens with every goal or chance. However, cricket has breaks (innings, powerplay) that interrupt the flow of the game, which football does not have.
Betting on Other Sports
The betting structure in tennis, badminton or kabaddi is simpler than cricket — mainly set-based or game-based markets. In these sports you can combine results from different matches into a single multi bet.

5 Popular Markets Available at 678bd
Cricket betting offers different types of markets. Below are the five most commonly used markets with a simple example for each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — you pick which team will win. Example: in a T20 between team A and team B, if team A has higher odds it means the bookmaker does not rate team A as the favourite.
Most PopularToss Winner
You can bet on the toss result before the match starts. Since there are two equally likely outcomes, the odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Pre-Match MarketTop Batsman
You can bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a given team. Several batsmen are listed as options.
Performance MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs target (for example "160 runs"). You predict whether the innings total will be more (over) or less (under) than that number.
Runs-BasedMulti Bet
Results from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
High Return PossibleHandicap Betting
To make betting on two unevenly matched teams more balanced, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage. The final result is determined after adding that advantage.
Levels the Gap Between TeamsDecimal, Fractional and American Odds — Three Formats Together
Odds are written in three different ways, but all of them give the same information — how much you can potentially win. The table below compares the three formats using a real example.
Favourite Odds Example
Team B to win
American minus odds (-400) means you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet you get back ৳250 in total if you win (৳50 profit).
How Odds Multiply in a Multi Bet
In a multi bet or accumulator you place three or more match results in a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the combined odds and potential return increase significantly.
Three selections with decimals 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 give combined odds of 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all three win; if even one loses the full ৳100 is gone.
The appeal of a multi bet is the chance of a large return from a small stake. But the risk increases equally — because all selections must be correct together. It is for entertainment, not a profit strategy.

Live Betting — How Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, every ball, every wicket and every boundary has a direct effect on the odds.
Say team A gets off to a strong start in the powerplay of a T20 — their odds of winning will drop and team B's odds will rise. If two wickets fall suddenly, the picture can reverse again. This constant change is what sets live betting apart.
Run-rate swings in the death overs of an ODI and pitch behaviour in a Test — these are directly reflected in the markets. There is very little time to make decisions in live betting, so knowing the markets beforehand is an advantage.
