Cricket Betting at bdt — Bet on Every Match from T20 to Test
Bet on all international cricket matches — including BPL, IPL and ICC tournaments — through bdt's straightforward interface. Live odds, multiple markets and fast payments — all in one place.
Three Formats of Cricket and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
From T20 to five-day Tests — each format has its own rhythm, and the way you bet differs too.
T20 — Fast-Paced Game
Each team plays just 20 overs, so scores change quickly and odds move frequently. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular among bdt users. Many bettors prefer to look at how strong a team's batting lineup is before placing a bet.
ODI — A Mid-Paced Contest
This 50-over format plays out over a full day, with strategy playing a much bigger role. Odds can shift significantly during the mid-innings powerplay. The ICC World Cup and Bangladesh's regular series are played in this format.
Test — A Test of Patience
In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather and overall team strength carry far more weight. Because a draw is a possible result, there are three odds here — unlike T20 or ODI. Test cricket gives more room to read the flow of play gradually before betting.
bdt offers separate markets for each cricket format.
Football and Other Sports — More Options Alongside Cricket
bdt is not limited to cricket. The biggest difference when betting on football is the match duration — all three results are possible within 90 minutes (home win, draw, away win), whereas draws do not exist in T20 or ODI cricket. Live betting in football is more fast-moving because a goal can come at any moment.
Markets are also available for kabaddi, volleyball and tennis. But cricket still holds a special place with Bangladeshi fans — interest is especially high when the Tigers are playing. The core principle is the same across all sports: betting is for entertainment and should not be seen as a source of income.

7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own character — some require a single decision, others need you to think across an entire innings.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — just pick which team will win. In T20 or ODI, only two results are possible, so the odds are relatively easy to read. Example: if Team A's odds are 1.80, a ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if Team A wins.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is an even-probability market, so odds for both sides are roughly equal. Many bettors place a small toss bet alongside their main match bet.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Openers generally get more opportunity, so their odds tend to be slightly lower. Knowing a team's batting order makes it easier to decide in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
bdt sets a specific line — for example, 330 runs. You bet on whether the combined total of both teams will be over or under that number. On batting-friendly pitches, over is more likely; on spin-friendly pitches, under.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining several selections into one bet multiplies the total odds. Three selections at decimal 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 give total odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36. A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all win — but if any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
To narrow the gap between two teams, the weaker side is given a run or wicket advantage. For example, if Team B receives a +30-run handicap, that is added to their final score. This is a way to bet on margin rather than simply win or lose.
First Wicket Partnership Runs
A bet on how many runs the two openers will score together before the first wicket falls. There is a set line — you choose over or under. Because a decision comes early in the match, this market is quite popular in T20.
How Three Odds Formats Work
Decimal, fractional and American — three ways of expressing the same probability.
| Format | Team A's Odds | Team B's Odds (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to Win (৳500)
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, the return is ৳1,250 — ৳750 profit plus the ৳500 stake. If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on Favourite Team B to Win (৳500)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. If Team B wins, a ৳500 bet returns ৳625 — profit of just ৳125. The favourite pays less profit, but has a higher chance of winning.
Which format is easiest?
Most Bangladeshi bettors prefer decimal odds because the calculation is simple — multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return.
Fractional odds are more common in the UK. American odds are written with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign — plus means profit on a ৳100 bet, and minus means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.

What happens to odds when a wicket falls? Understand the pace of in-play betting
You can place bets at bdt even after a match has started — this is called live in-play betting. Odds change with every ball. For example, if two wickets fall suddenly in the 15th over, the team that was previously the favourite will see their odds lengthen — because their chances of winning have dropped.
Betting after the powerplay, when you have more information from the scorecard, gives you more to work with — but the odds will also be shorter by then. Having a sense of how the toss or pitch is influencing the match mid-game makes live betting far more effective.
Keep in mind — in-play betting calls for quick decisions. It is better not to bet beyond your budget in the heat of the moment. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines gives you practical tips on keeping betting enjoyable.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is more enjoyable with a plan. Keeping a few simple things in mind leads to a better experience.
Set Your Budget First
Decide how much you will bet on each match before it starts. Stick to that limit even if you lose.
Understand the Format Before Betting
T20 and Test odds are structured differently. An approach that works in one format may not work in the other.
Focus on One Market
Rather than spreading across many markets at once, build a good understanding of one market first.
Be Patient in Live Betting
In in-play betting, read the situation before deciding — avoid placing large bets on impulse.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk — the more selections you add, the more you need to get right.
Entertainment is the Goal
Betting is for fun. Going beyond your budget chasing profit takes the enjoyment out of it.
