Cricket Formats and Competitions

Each of the three formats gives cricket a completely different character — and that difference is just as clear in the betting markets.

T20 — The Fastest Format

Each innings is just 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. During the T20 World Cup season, these matches attract the most bets at bd big because a single ball can change the course of the game. With results decided quickly in the short format, live markets stay very active.

ODI — The Game of Balance

Team strategy plays a much bigger role in 50-over one-day matches. Bangladesh Tigers matches in ICC tournaments and bilateral series attract the strongest betting interest.

Test — A Test of Patience

Because a five-day Test match can end in a draw, the market structure is different — options range from match winner to session-based markets.

BPL and Local Tournaments

The Bangladesh Premier League brings its own intensity every season. Rivalry between franchise teams keeps the betting markets lively.

BPL

IPL and Foreign Leagues

The Indian Premier League features the best players in the world. The high level of competition in every match drives a wide range of markets.

IPL

International Cricket

T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Test series — international matches offer the widest range of betting options.

ICC

Football and Other Sports Betting

Alongside cricket, bd big also offers betting on football and several other sports. The market structure is different for each sport.

Cricket vs Football — What is the Difference?

In cricket, the pace of the match shifts after every over — a single wicket can move live odds significantly. In football, goals are rare and matches often end goalless, so a draw is a recognised outcome. In T20 cricket there are no draws, making the market structure straightforward — just two outcomes.

Handicap and goal-count markets are popular in football, while cricket's run-based over/under and wicket markets add a different dimension. Other sports such as kabaddi or tennis have relatively fewer markets, generally limited to match winner and handicap.

5 Popular Cricket Betting Markets

Understanding the markets before placing a bet is important. Here is a brief introduction to the five most commonly used markets.

Match Winner

Which team will win — this is the simplest market. Two outcomes in T20, three in Test (win, loss, draw). Example: in Team A vs Team B, you pick Team B — if Team B wins, you receive a return based on the stated odds.

Toss Winner

Who wins the toss at the start of the match — completely unrelated to team skill. Example: you can place a separate bet on whether Team A wins the toss.

Top Batsman

A bet on which player will score the most runs for a team. Example: pick the batsman who will score the highest in Team A's innings — if you choose correctly, you win.

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether the combined runs of both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will both teams' total runs exceed 320 — this is the most popular run-based market.

Multi Bet

Placing bets on multiple matches together on the same slip. All selections must win to receive the full return; if one loses, the entire stake is lost. See the odds section below for a detailed example.

Powerplay Runs

A bet on how many runs will be scored during the first powerplay (the first 6 overs in T20). This is a strictly pre-match market — it locks in before the innings begins.

How to Read Odds Across Three Formats

The same price for the same match can be written in three different ways. Two examples will make it clear.

Format Team A (odds for a win) Team B (odds for the favourite)
Decimal 2.25 1.50
Fractional 5/4 1/2
American +125 -200

Example 1 — ৳200 bet on Team A to win

Decimal odds of 2.25 means ৳2.25 back for every ৳1 staked. A winning ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳450 — ৳250 profit plus the ৳200 original stake. If you lose, the ৳200 is gone. Fractional (5/4) and American (+125) formats look different but mean the same thing.

Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, ৳200 bet

Decimal odds of 1.50 mean Team B is more likely to win, so the price is lower. A winning ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 original stake). In American format, -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.

Multi Bet Example

Three matches with decimal odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively. Combined odds: 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳581 if all three win; if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. The return on a multi bet is larger, but the risk increases proportionally.

Quick Reference

  • Decimal odds are the simplest — odds × stake = total return
  • In fractional odds, the top number is profit and the bottom is the stake (if equal, it is evens)
  • In American format, + indicates the underdog and − indicates the favourite
  • For a multi bet, multiply all the odds together to get the combined odds
  • Betting is for entertainment — only bet within your means

Live In-Play Betting — A New Opportunity Every Ball

bd big live in-play betting odds changing

In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over affects the odds.

Example: In a T20 match at the 15th over, Team B needs 85 runs off the last 6 overs — at this point, odds in favour of Team A will drop quickly. If the next over yields 20 runs, the odds will flip back towards Team B.

In live markets, you need to stay focused because odds can change within seconds. Having a good understanding of the market and format before the match makes in-play betting much more enjoyable.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting

Betting is a form of entertainment. Following the habits below will keep the experience more comfortable.

  • Choose markets based on the format. Powerplay run markets work well in T20; session-based markets are more common in Test cricket.
  • Keep the number of selections in a multi bet small. More selections mean more risk — a multi bet with 2–3 selections is much more manageable.
  • Set your budget beforehand. Decide how much you will bet before the match starts. It is better not to chase losses by placing bigger bets after a loss.
  • Read live odds quickly. In in-play betting, odds change by the minute — before deciding, cross-check with the scorecard and the flow of the match.
  • Play responsibly. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a guaranteed source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
  • Follow the 21+ age rule. All betting and gaming activity at bd big is for persons aged 21 and above only.

Cricket Match Winner — A Live Scenario

Team A vs Team B — a limited-overs match. Decimal odds: Team A 1.65, Team B 2.30. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,300 if Team B wins (profit ৳1,300). If Team A wins, ৳1,000 is lost. Betting is always a form of entertainment — the outcome is never certain.

Common FAQs

The most frequently asked questions about cricket betting.

In T20, every over matters and the result can swing quickly — so live odds shift from moment to moment. In ODIs, you have 50 overs to read the pace of the match, and with no draw possible, you are betting on only two outcomes. Powerplay markets are more common in T20, while ODIs also offer mid-innings lines.

No — not all markets are available in-play. Toss winner and powerplay runs are pre-match only. In-play typically keeps match winner, next wicket, over-by-over runs and total runs over/under active. Odds update instantly when a wicket falls or a boundary is hit.

Generally, if a match is abandoned without completing the minimum required overs, bets are voided and stakes are returned. However, if a result is determined by the Duckworth-Lewis method, most bets remain valid. For the specific rules, it is best to read bd big's terms and conditions.

The cricket season special offer gives a 40% bonus on deposits to the cricket or sports section, up to ৳6,000, with a 20x wagering requirement on the bonus — claimable once per week. Example: deposit ৳2,000 and receive a ৳800 bonus; wagering required is ৳800 × 20 = ৳16,000. Minimum deposit is ৳200.

During the BPL season, more markets and more detailed in-play options are generally available. The range of markets expands further for elimination rounds and the final. You can check which markets are currently open directly in the sports section at bd big.
