bdgames Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from T20 to Test
Bet at bdgames on BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and all formats of international cricket. Detailed markets from match winner to live in-play, clear odds and simple payments — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket is more than one game — it is played in three distinct formats, and the betting approach for each is completely different. A T20 match is over in just a few hours; fewer overs, more runs, and the calculation can change with every ball. For Bangladeshi fans, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments, and ICC T20 World Cup season sees the highest volume of bets placed at bdgames.
In ODI cricket, 50 overs per side means more shifts in momentum throughout the game. Bettors can revisit the markets mid-match based on how the game is going. Test cricket runs for five days, a draw is possible, and the three-outcome market (Team A win, Team B win, draw) requires a different kind of attention. All three formats have markets on bdgames, with odds displayed separately for each match.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
bdgames is not limited to cricket. Football betting has its own appeal — especially during international matches or major leagues. The key difference between football betting and cricket betting is the number of outcomes: football always has three possibilities — win, lose or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so odds are structured differently.
bdgames also has markets for tennis, badminton and other popular sports. Each sport has its own market structure, season and tournaments — so bettors can choose the sport they follow. Those interested in slots or casino games can visit the bdgames slots page to explore that section.
Cricket vs Football Betting
- No draw in T20/ODI — only a win or loss for either team
- Three outcomes are possible in Test cricket
- Football always has three outcomes (1X2)
- Cricket has more over-by-over in-play markets
- Half-time/full-time markets are popular in football
7 Popular Betting Markets — Each Explained
bdgames offers many types of markets for cricket betting. Below are seven common markets briefly explained for new bettors — covering the core idea and how each one works.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI, three in Test (Team A, Team B, draw).
Simple All FormatsToss Winner
This market closes before the match starts. You predict which team will win the toss. The outcome is a pure 50-50, so odds are generally even.
Pre-Match Quick ResultTop Run Scorer
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Knowing the team's batting lineup is an advantage in this market.
Batting Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
bdgames sets a specific run total. The bettor wagers whether the total runs scored will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that number.
Totals Both InningsMulti Bet
Multiple markets are combined into a single bet. All selections must win for the bet to pay out — if even one fails, the entire stake is lost.
High Return Multiple MatchesFirst Wicket to Fall
Bet on at what score or by whose hand the first wicket will fall in an innings. This market is especially popular in T20 matches because the opening overs are critical.
In-Play T20 FavouriteTop Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The effectiveness of pace bowlers and spinners based on pitch conditions is a key consideration here.
Bowling Player MarketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
bdgames supports three odds formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same outcome differently — you can choose whichever you find easier.
Example: for a market on Team A to win — decimal odds are 2.50, fractional is 3/2 and American is +150. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A returning ৳2,500 total if they win (৳1,500 profit plus the ৳1,000 stake back) — and ৳1,000 lost if they lose. For favourite Team B, decimal odds are 1.50, fractional is 1/2, American is −200 (negative odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
In a multi bet, odds from three selections are multiplied: 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳581 if all three selections are correct; if any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Quick Reference
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | −200 |
* A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if Team A wins, or ৳1,500 if Team B wins.
Live In-Play — Odds Change with Every Ball
Live betting in cricket is the most dynamic experience available. bdgames markets update as the match progresses — when a wicket falls, the batting team's odds shift a little; quick runs in the powerplay bring a different set of calculations. As the death overs tighten up, odds move faster.
Timing matters a great deal in in-play betting. Bettors can make decisions based on what is currently happening on the field — such as how many runs a team needs in the last five overs, or how much the bowlers are getting from the pitch. These details can help when choosing a live market.
Live betting is also available on mobile through the bdgames Android and iOS app — available through the official channel.
Some Useful Things to Keep in Mind for Cricket Betting
Betting is for enjoyment — whether you win or lose, the main point is to enjoy every match. Below are a few general points that many bettors try to keep in mind. These are not a guarantee of profit — they are simply meant to help you engage with the game more thoughtfully.
- Understand one market well. Starting with a straightforward market like match winner is a good idea — trying to track too many markets at once makes things complicated.
- Keep the format in mind. T20 and Test matches are very different in nature — applying the same approach to both can lead to mistakes.
- Set a budget. Decide how much you will spend in each betting session beforehand and stick to it.
- Be careful with multi bets. Adding more selections increases the potential return, but all of them must be correct — if even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
- Watch the live odds, do not rush. In-play betting requires quick decisions, but picking the wrong market in a hurry is not a good idea.
- Play responsibly. Betting is part of entertainment. If you want to keep within limits, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
