Cricket betting at www — a complete guide from T20 to Test, BPL to ICC
Cricket is the most talked-about sport in Bangladesh. Bet on T20, ODI and Test formats at www, enjoy live in-play, and get detailed information on the most popular markets.
Cricket formats and tournaments — what to know before you bet
Cricket has three main formats: T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace, strategy and betting style. T20 matches end in just a few hours, so odds move quickly and live betting is more active. In ODI, the fifty-over contest is more measured — there is more opportunity for markets to shift around the middle of an innings. Test matches run for five days, making pitch and weather conditions very important.
Bangladeshi fans follow the BPL as their home tournament with the most passion. There is also strong interest in the IPL, T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Asia Cup. www offers match winner, toss, top batsman and many other markets for these tournaments.
You can also bet on football at www. The key difference from cricket is that a draw is a common result in football, so the match winner market has three possible outcomes. In limited-overs cricket there is normally no draw, making bets more straightforward.
T20
The fastest format. Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in this format. Odds move quickly with each wicket.
ODI
A fifty-over match. The ICC World Cup is held in this format. Markets can shift significantly around the middle of an innings.
Test
Five-day cricket. Pitch conditions, weather and player form all combine to move odds gradually.
Cricket's popular markets — how to bet on each one
Several types of markets are available for cricket betting at www. Below are the most commonly used markets, each with a brief example.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, place your bet on Team B. If Team B wins at the end of the match, you win.
Toss Winner
Bet on who will win the coin toss before the match. Odds for both teams are usually close. The result depends entirely on the toss.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. If you think a certain player will be the top scorer for Team A, place your bet on that player's name.
Total Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a runs target for the match. If you think the actual total will be higher, choose Over; if you think it will be lower, choose Under.
Top Wicket-Taker
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. In T20, death-over bowlers tend to have more opportunities, which makes this market interesting.
Multi Bet (multiple selections combined)
You can combine several matches or markets in one bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger. Example: Team A to win + Team A to win the toss — if both come through, you win.
Multi bet calculation: Say three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60. Combined, the odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = roughly 3.36. A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all three are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit.
Odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American
Cricket odds at www are usually shown in decimal format, but fractional and American formats are also common. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — odds on a team to win: Place a ৳200 bet on Team A to win. Odds of decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1 and American +200 all mean the same thing. If Team A wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake); if they lose, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — odds on a favourite: If Team B is the favourite, odds might be decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. American minus odds mean you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. A ৳200 stake returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit) if Team B wins.
The lower the odds, the bigger the favourite — but the return is also smaller. Betting is entertainment — play responsibly. Read more about responsible gaming.
A side-by-side comparison of all three formats
| Format | Team A (underdog) | Team B (favourite) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 | Total return including stake — multiply by your stake amount |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 | Profit ratio — the number on the right is the stake, the number on the left is the profit |
| American | +200 | −200 | Plus = profit on a ৳100 stake; minus = amount needed to win ৳100 |
Live in-play betting — odds change when wickets fall
At www, live betting odds change with every event during the match. Example: Team A is chasing 180 in 20 overs and is 90/2 after 10 overs — the match is evenly poised. If two quick wickets fall in the next over, Team A's odds will lengthen and Team B's odds will shorten.
Say the opening odds in a limited-overs match are 1.45 for Team A and 2.75 for Team B. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,375 (৳875 profit) if Team B wins; if Team A wins you lose ৳500. In live betting these numbers keep changing throughout the match.
As overs progress, the required run rate and remaining runs are reflected in the markets. If you want to use live markets at the right moment, read www's terms and conditions carefully — full details are on the terms and conditions page.
It is also worth knowing about exchange betting: if you BACK Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 with a ৳500 bet and Team A wins, you make ৳400 profit (before commission); if they do not win, you lose ৳500. If you LAY, it is the opposite — if Team A does not win you receive ৳500, but if they do win you pay out ৳400.
Some useful tips for betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. The tips below come from experienced bettors — they are not a promise of profit, but they can help keep the experience enjoyable.
Set a budget
Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start. Do not exceed that limit — chasing a win or trying to recover losses by betting more is not a good idea.
Choose markets based on the format
Match winner and total runs markets are most active in T20. In Test cricket, a draw is possible so use three-way markets and pay attention to pitch conditions.
Be careful with multi bets
Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but if even one is wrong the whole stake is lost. For beginners, single bets are easier to start with.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play markets. Pause before making a quick decision — bet based on what you see on the field, not on emotion.
Keep toss bets light
Odds for both teams are close in toss markets and the outcome is completely random. It is mainly for fun — it is better not to stake large amounts here.
Take breaks and know your limits
Betting is good when it is enjoyable; if it feels like pressure, take a break. The responsible gaming page has advice on setting limits.

Football and other sports — alongside cricket
You can bet on football at www just as you can on cricket. The difference is that a draw is a common result in football, so the match winner market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. Limited-overs cricket does not have this third possibility, so the odds structure is different.
In football, goals over/under, both teams to score and first goalscorer are popular markets. Just as with cricket, multiple markets can be combined in a multi bet.
For those who want something different from real events, virtual sports betting is an option. Computer-generated matches run 24/7 and results are instant.
