Cricket Betting at b88 — Best Odds from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Whether it is a Bangladesh Tigers match or an exciting BPL night — at b88 you can bet on multiple markets across every cricket format. Match winner, top batsman, live betting, multi bets — all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats: T20, ODI and Test. Each format offers a different betting experience.
T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so odds change quickly. In BPL and IPL, teams made up of local and international stars take the field, and new betting opportunities arise every over. The enthusiasm around Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup is reflected in b88's markets as well.
In ODI cricket, the pace of play shifts across fifty overs — the run rate in the middle overs, wickets falling towards the end, all of this continuously reshapes the odds. Bangladesh's performance in ICC tournaments carries extra weight in betting.
Test cricket is a long five-day contest. Pitch conditions, weather, and the gap between innings all need to be considered when betting. For those who prefer making decisions through analysis, Test betting is a different kind of experience.
Alongside cricket, b88 also offers betting on football, badminton and other sports. However, cricket's betting markets are far broader — especially among Bangladeshi bettors. In football, match winner and goal totals are popular; in cricket there are many more options such as toss, top batsman, and over/under runs.
Popular Betting Markets
You can bet on various cricket markets at b88. Below is a brief introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. Example: in a match between team A and team B, if you pick team B and team B wins, your bet is successful.
CricketToss Winner
The result of this market is known before the match even starts. You just choose whether team A or team B will win the toss. Simple and settled quickly.
T20Top Batsman
The question in this market is which batter from a given team will score the most runs. If you have knowledge of the pitch, current form and batting order, this market is interesting.
ODITotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run total — you say whether the actual runs scored will be more than that (over) or less (under). Example: 170 runs in the first innings — over means 171 or more.
All FormatsMulti Bet
Results from multiple matches are combined into one bet. You win only if all selections are correct. The odds are multiplied, so the potential return is higher — but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
Multi BetTop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets — that is the key question in this market. Pace or spin — the choice depends on the nature of the pitch and the weather.
TestHandicap and Special Markets
In handicap markets, the weaker team is given a run advantage to balance the bet. There are also special markets such as highest opening partnership and which over the first wicket will fall.
SpecialHow to Read Odds
Betting odds are written in three main formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. b88 generally uses the decimal format, but it helps to understand the other two as well.
| Format | Odds for team A to win | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Stake × 3.00 = total return |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 (team A could win): Team A's odds are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional and +200 in American. A ৳200 bet on team A winning returns ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 (favourite team B): Team B's odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional and -200 in American (negative American odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳200 bet on team B winning returns ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Remember: odds only show the potential return, not a guarantee of winning. Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income.
Live Betting — Bet While the Match is On
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is very popular because the situation can change with every ball.
Imagine a T20 match where team A is batting in the 15th over and suddenly loses two wickets. At that moment, team A's odds of winning will rise because they are under pressure. Meanwhile, team B's odds will drop. These rapidly changing odds are what make live betting different.
When an over ends, when big runs come in the powerplay, or when a key batter gets out — each event reshapes the odds. In Test cricket, when the pitch breaks up on the third or fourth day, spinners gain extra advantage and the top bowler market odds shift accordingly.
In live betting, odds can update within milliseconds, so quick decisions are needed. But not rushed ones — it is better to understand the flow of the match and decide steadily.
Alongside live betting at b88, live casino games are also available at b88 Casino — where you can play directly with real dealers.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Start with one market — if you are new, get comfortable with the match winner market first. Betting on many markets at once makes things complicated.
-
Set a budget first — decide in advance how much you will spend on entertainment per month or per week. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income.
-
Be careful with multi bets — in a multi bet, odds of 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 across three selections = 5.13, making ৳513 possible from a ৳100 stake if all win. But if one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone. More selections means more risk.
-
Consider pitch and weather — spinners have the advantage on dry pitches, pacers on green ones. If rain interrupts play, the target changes under the DLS method.
-
Take your time with live betting — in-play odds change fast. Avoid rushing and make decisions based on how the match is going.
-
Keep responsible gaming in mind — enjoy betting as entertainment. It is not wise to place large bets to chase losses. Read our responsible gaming guide for more details.
Cricket vs Football Betting
In football, match winner (1X2), goal over/under and both teams to score are the three most common markets. A draw is also a possible result.
In cricket, a draw only happens in Test matches; T20 and ODI have a direct winner. So cricket's match winner market is somewhat simpler than football's. However, cricket's special markets — toss, top batsman, runs per over — offer much more variety.
