Cricket Betting at belbet – Best Bets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
Enjoy Bangladesh's favourite sport even more at belbet. Place bets across a range of markets in T20, ODI and Test cricket, follow live betting, and stay connected to the matches you care about — all in one place, easy to use.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Each format has its own pace and strategy — you can bet on all three formats at belbet.
T20
Just 20 overs per innings — so every ball counts. From franchise leagues like BPL and IPL to the ICC T20 World Cup, this format draws the biggest audiences. Odds change quickly, making live betting particularly engaging here.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI
In a 50-over ODI, the game unfolds with a mix of strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances are of special interest to local bettors. The ICC Cricket World Cup is the biggest stage for this format.
World Cup Asia CupTest
Five-day cricket reveals the most about a team's character and strategy. Since a draw is possible in Tests, the market offers three outcome options — home team win, away team win, or draw.
ICC WTC SeriesInternational Matches
International matches held at venues across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, hold a special appeal for Bangladeshi bettors. belbet offers the opportunity to bet on matches against all ICC-ranked teams.
Home Series BilateralDifferences in Betting on Cricket, Football and Other Sports
Each sport has its own betting markets — understanding that is the first step to making better decisions.
In cricket, every over, every wicket and even the toss result can be a betting market. The large number of innings and events makes cricket betting markets highly varied. In football, only a handful of goals are scored within 90 minutes, so the markets are comparatively straightforward — match winner, number of goals, first goalscorer and so on.
Local sports like Kabaddi have limited markets, so odds tend to be lower. In cricket, the situation can change at any moment — a six or two quick wickets can shift the entire course of a match. That is what sets cricket betting apart from other sports.
On belbet Bet, markets are available for football and other sports as well as cricket. However, cricket remains the most popular choice among Bangladeshi users.
Cricket

Football

Popular Betting Markets at belbet
In a cricket match you can bet on 5 to 7 main markets.
-
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — the simplest and most familiar market. There is no draw in T20, so you choose between two outcomes. For example: Team A wins, or Team B wins.
-
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss — a completely independent event where odds are usually nearly equal. This market closes before the match begins.
-
Top Batter
Which batter will score the most runs for their team — understanding form and pitch conditions helps here. Separate markets are open for each of the two teams.
-
Total Runs Over/Under
You predict whether the number of runs scored in a specific over or an entire innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set line.
-
Multi-Bet
You can combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return is much higher, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost. For example: placing three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately) — a ৳100 stake returns ৳428, but only if all three are correct.
-
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — pitch type and weather conditions play a big role in this market.
-
Handicap Betting
To narrow the gap between two teams, the stronger team is given a hypothetical run deficit at the start. This brings the odds for both sides closer together and creates more interesting betting opportunities.
How to Understand Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
All three formats express the same outcome — the only difference is how they are written.
Online betting platforms usually display odds in three formats. The decimal format is the most straightforward at belbet because you can work out the total return directly.
| Format | Team A Win | How to Read |
|---|---|---|
| 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 — Two Evenly Matched Teams
Placing a ৳500 bet on Team A to win: Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, you get back ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the Favourite
If Team B is the favourite, odds might be: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (a negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳500 stake returns ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Live Betting That Moves with Wickets and Overs
Odds change every moment while the match is in progress — that is what makes live betting engaging.
How Odds Work During a Match
In live betting you can place a bet at any point in the match. Say Team A has started well — Team B's odds will start rising because their chances of winning are falling. But if two quick wickets then fall, Team A's odds will drop sharply.
During Powerplay overs, over/under market odds shift minute by minute based on the run rate. In the death overs, a six or a wicket can alter the balance of many markets at once.
Before live betting, log in to belbet and make sure your account has enough balance, as live markets can close quickly.
- Odds change fastest during the Powerplay
- High-variance markets are available in the death overs
- Multiple live markets are available at the same time
- In-play multi-bets can also be placed
A Few Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is for entertainment — keep these straightforward points in mind.
Set a Budget in Advance
Decide how much you will spend on betting each week before you start. Stay within that limit. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
Compare Odds
Try to understand the odds across different markets. The decimal format is easy — just multiply your stake directly to get the return.
Focus on One Format
T20, ODI and Test each move at a different pace. Focusing on one format first will help you understand the markets better.
No Rushing in Live Betting
Live odds move fast, but take time to read the flow of the match rather than placing bets in a hurry. Quick decisions lead to more mistakes.
Keep the Number of Selections Low in Multi-Bets
The more selections in a multi-bet, the higher the risk. Keeping it to two or three selections is easier to manage.
Follow Responsible Betting
It is better not to immediately place a large bet to try to recover losses after a loss. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and keep a healthy mindset.
