Cricket Betting at bd89 – Best Odds and Markets from T20 to Test
For every BPL, IPL and international cricket match, bd89 offers a range of betting markets — from match winner to over-by-over live odds. Enjoy betting as a form of entertainment.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh enjoy matches across three formats — and each format has its own character in betting too.
T20 — Fast-paced matches
In this twenty-over format the situation can change in an instant. bd89 offers betting markets for all major events from BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup. Because the game moves quickly, odds are updated frequently, which makes live betting more engaging.
ODI — Balanced cricket
The fifty-over format gives more scope to read team tactics. Matches featuring the Tigers in ICC tournaments and bilateral series are especially popular here. The total runs over-under market is the most used in ODI.
Test — A test of patience
Betting on five-day Test matches is slower-paced, but the possibility of a draw makes the markets different in nature. Besides match winner, innings-based markets are also available.
The difference between cricket betting and football betting is that cricket has far more markets and live odds change repeatedly. Football betting involves ninety minutes of continuous play and handicap markets are used more often, whereas in cricket the over-by-over market is the main draw.
Popular cricket betting markets
At bd89 you can place bets on many different types of markets in a single cricket match — each one works differently.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are usually only two outcomes (no draw), making this the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team A and they win, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss before the match starts — the outcome of this market does not depend on on-field performance. Example: bet on which of Team A or Team B wins the toss.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in a given innings or across the whole match. Example: pick any player from Team A's batting lineup who you think will be the top run scorer.
Over/Under (Total Runs)
Whether the total runs scored in a full innings or in a specific number of overs will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: bet on whether Team A's total runs in the first ten overs will be above 70 or not.
Total Wickets
An over-under market on how many wickets will fall in an innings. If the bowling side is strong, more wickets are likely to fall. Example: whether the total number of wickets in Team B's innings will be more than 5.
Multi Bet / Multiple Selections
Combine bets from multiple matches into one combination. If all selections are correct the return increases, but if any one is wrong the entire bet is lost. Find out more about multi bets at bd89 Bet.
Markets such as top wicket-taker, six or four off the first ball, and highest runs in a specific over are also available. Always bet for entertainment purposes.
How to read and understand odds
Odds are written in three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. bd89 generally uses the decimal format.
| Odds Format | Team A Win | Team B Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | −125 |
Example 1 — Team A wins
Say Team A's winning odds are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional, +200 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 if Team A wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
Team B's winning odds are 1.80 in decimal, 4/5 in fractional, −125 in American (American minus odds indicate how much you need to bet to win 100). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit).
Why are decimal odds the simplest?
Decimal odds tell you directly how much you get back in total for every 1 unit staked — there is no need to calculate profit separately. For example, 3.00 means a total return of ৳300 for every ৳100 bet.
Fractional Odds
2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. This format comes from the old UK betting tradition and is still used on many sites.
American Odds
Positive (+200) means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet; negative (−125) means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. This format is less common in Bangladesh.
Live In-Play Betting — odds during the match
With bd89's live betting feature you can place bets while the match is in progress. Odds change instantly with every wicket, every four or six, and at the end of every over. This is what makes cricket betting stand out.
For example, if Team A's odds are 3.00 at the start of the match and they score quickly in the first five overs, those odds may shorten, and if a few wickets fall they may lengthen again. Reading the situation and making decisions accordingly is the main draw of live betting.
Odds change very quickly in in-play betting, so set your limits before you start. Betting is entertainment — not a guaranteed source of income.
Multi Bet — multiple selections combined
Adding multiple matches or markets to a single bet creates a combined odds figure.
Say you make three separate selections across three matches — with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively. Multiplying all three together gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets are exciting but carry higher risk — because one wrong selection loses the entire slip. Start with small amounts and treat betting as entertainment.

Some practical tips for cricket betting
Keep these points in mind to enjoy betting as entertainment.
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet before each session. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose — this is the key rule of responsible betting.
Choose markets based on the format
In T20, total runs markets and live betting work well; in Test, the match winner market has three possible outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, draw).
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets to understand which outcome the site considers more likely. However, odds are not a guaranteed prediction.
No rushing in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Take your time and read the flow of the match rather than making decisions on impulse.
Be restrained with multi bets
Adding more selections increases the return but also the risk. Start with smaller multi bets.
