Three cricket formats and how betting differs across them
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The type of bets and the number of markets available differ across each format, so understanding the differences matters for any bettor.
T20: The shortest format, played over just 20 overs. In Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is played in this format. Every over and every wicket can shift odds quickly, making live betting especially popular in T20. IPL is also a major T20 tournament that draws a lot of attention in this region.
ODI: A 50-over match — slower than T20, but with more opportunity for the game to swing either way. ODI markets are also widely available during the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments.
Test: The longest format, played over five days. A draw is a valid result here, so there are three possible markets — Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. In Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and the state of play on the fifth day play a big role in how odds move.
In Bangladesh, football betting markets are available alongside cricket. A draw is a common result in football, so the market structure is different — Asian Handicap and both-teams-to-score markets are more commonly seen here.
The most popular markets at hhbd
In a single match, you can bet on much more than just the winner — from the toss to run totals, there are many types of bets available.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B. For example, if you bet on Team A to win, you receive a return based on the odds if Team A wins, and lose your stake if they do not.
Most PopularToss Winner
Which team — Team A or Team B — will win the coin toss before the match. Odds for this market stay close to even since the toss is purely a matter of chance. Many bettors use it as a quick extra bet.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. A batsman's form and the type of pitch play an important role in this market.
Batting FocusTotal Runs Over / Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above or below a set number — choose Over (more) or Under (less). For example, if the line is set at 160 runs and Team A scores 175, Over wins.
Runs-BasedMulti Bet
Combining bets from multiple matches into a single larger bet. For example, selecting winners from three matches means all three must be correct to get a big return — if any one is wrong, the entire stake is lost. You can find the multi bet option at hhbd Bet.
High ReturnTop Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or match. Odds in this market vary depending on whether the pitch favours pace or spin. Popular among those interested in bowling performance.
Bowling FocusHow to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Before getting started with cricket betting, it helps to know the three odds formats. The same price can be written three different ways, but the return amount stays the same.
| Format | Team A price | Team B price (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win (৳500 stake)
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. A ৳500 bet on Team A returns ৳1,500 if Team A wins (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 stake is gone.
Example 2 — favourite Team B (৳500 stake)
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (a negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if Team B wins (৳400 profit).
Multi bet example
Three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 — multiplied together: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all three matches are correct. If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
How in-play betting works during a match
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. In cricket, odds keep changing with every wicket, every big six and every over that is completed.
For example — if the batting team loses two wickets during the second Powerplay, their odds of winning will increase (meaning it has become harder for them to win) and the fielding team's odds will decrease (meaning they are becoming the favourite). New bets can be placed based on this changed situation.
In-play betting markets in T20 change the fastest because the match moves at a higher pace. In ODI the pace is a bit slower, but dramatic mid-match swings still happen regularly.
One thing to keep in mind when live betting — odds change quickly, so confirm the current figure on screen before placing your bet. Live betting markets at hhbd update in real time.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Cricket betting is for entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will help you stay in control.
- Set your budget beforehand. Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Do not go beyond your budget — chasing losses to recover money you have already lost tends to make things worse.
- Choose markets based on the format. The Top Batsman market works well in T20; in Test cricket, ignoring the draw option in the Match Winner market will throw off your calculations.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining several selections raises the potential return, but one wrong pick loses everything. It is better not to add too many selections to a multi bet.
- Compare odds. Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Betting on a market you understand better is more sensible.
- Do not rush in live betting. Just because odds are changing fast does not mean you have to place a bet immediately. Confirm the current figure on screen first, then decide.
- Keep it as entertainment. Cricket betting is about adding to the enjoyment of the game. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits.
