Cricket betting at winbet — place bets on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
winbet brings a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Enjoy matches in T20, ODI or Test format and bet on your preferred markets.
The three cricket formats and popular tournaments
Each cricket format has its own pace and character. winbet offers betting markets across all three formats, so understanding the type of match makes for a richer betting experience.
T20 — the fastest format
With only 20 overs per side, the game can turn on any ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most familiar to fans in Bangladesh. Live in-play betting is especially popular in this fast-moving format.
ODI — the fifty-over balance
In a 50-over match, both batting and bowling carry equal weight. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format. On winbet, you can bet on ICC tournaments and international series matches across markets ranging from match winner to top batsman.
Test — the patience game
In a five-day match, pitch conditions, weather and a team's bowling strength play a major role. Because a draw is possible in Test cricket, the betting markets work differently from T20 and ODI — the draw market is also active here.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
Alongside cricket, winbet also offers betting on football, kabaddi, tennis and many other sports. The way betting works varies depending on the nature of each sport.
In football, three outcomes are possible — win, loss or draw — so the market comes with more options. In cricket (T20 or ODI), a draw is generally not possible, making the market a straight contest between two teams. In Test cricket, the draw option returns, creating a three-way market similar to football.

Popular betting markets — how each one works
winbet offers multiple markets for cricket matches. Understanding each market makes it easier to decide where to place your bet.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — you choose Team A. If Team A wins, the bet is successful; if not, the bet is lost.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is decided at the toss, so it has no connection to match performance.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs for their team. Example: pick who among Team A's batters will score the highest.
Total Runs — Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match (or a single innings) will be above or below a set line. Example: whether Team A's innings total will be above 150.
Top Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the whole match or in a single innings. This market is particularly active on bowling-friendly pitches.
Multi Bet
Combine bets from multiple matches into one. Example: if you pick Team A, Team B and Team A across three matches, all three results must be correct — one wrong pick loses the whole bet, but if all are correct the total return is much higher.
Handicap Betting
A run advantage is given to the weaker team to level the market. For example, if Team B is given +30 runs, those 30 runs are added to the final score to determine the winner for betting purposes — this applies only to the bet calculation and has no effect on the actual score.
Odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American
On winbet and most betting platforms, odds can be displayed in three different ways. Each one conveys the same information — only the format is different.
Decimal is straightforward: multiply the odds by your stake to get the total return. Example: Team A to win at odds 2.25 — a ৳200 bet returns ৳450 in total (৳250 profit plus ৳200 stake back); if the bet loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Fractional odds express the same value as 5/4 — meaning ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. In American format, this is written as +125.
Favourite example: Team B to win at odds 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200 (negative odds show how much you need to stake to win 100). A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
| Format | Team A (underdog) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
| Return on ৳200 bet | ৳450 | ৳300 |
All three formats express the same market value. These are examples only — not live odds or a guarantee of returns.
Live in-play betting — placing bets while the match is on
Live in-play betting is one of the standout features of winbet cricket betting. Even if you did not bet before the match started, you can join a market at any point while the game is in progress.
Odds update instantly whenever a wicket falls or a big six is hit. If the score is low after the powerplay, the batting team's odds may lengthen; as fewer runs are needed in the final overs, the odds shorten.
This is part of the entertainment — the experience of placing bets while watching the match is the main appeal here. Keep in mind that odds in live markets change quickly, so take stock of the situation before making a decision.
In-play betting — how wickets and overs shift the odds
The impact of wickets
When a key batting wicket falls, the bowling team's odds of winning shorten. The batting team's odds begin to lengthen. If two or three wickets fall in quick succession, the swing in odds can be quite dramatic.
The impact of run rate
If the required run rate in the last 5 overs is very high, the batting team's odds become difficult. Conversely, a string of boundaries quickly improves a team's odds. In T20, the effect of run rate is felt most strongly.
Powerplay and middle overs
A high score in the powerplay strengthens odds in favour of the batting team. If wickets fall and runs dry up in the middle overs, the odds can swing back. Odds move fastest of all in the final overs.
Practical tips — things to keep in mind when betting
Cricket betting is not just about backing your favourite team — understanding each market and sticking to a budget is what makes for a good experience over time.
Focus on one match
Rather than spreading bets across many matches at once, it is more effective to understand one match well before placing your bet.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session. Betting is for entertainment — not for recovering money already lost.
Start with a single market
The match winner market is the simplest for new players. Once you have some experience, try top batsman or over/under.

Multi bet and multiple selections — how it works
A multi bet or accumulator combines multiple bets into one. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the combined odds are much higher than a single bet.
Example: odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 across three matches — combining all three gives total odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all selections are correct. However, if even one is wrong you lose the full ৳100 — keep that risk in mind before placing a multi bet.
