bb88 apps Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
bb88 apps offers cricket fans in Bangladesh a wide cricket betting platform. Bet across multiple markets in all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — and follow shifting odds on every moment of a live match.
Cricket's three formats and tournaments popular with Bangladeshis
Before betting on cricket, it helps to know which format is being played. Each format works differently, so the betting markets behave differently too.
T20: The fastest format. Each team faces only 20 overs, so scores are high and a match can turn in the final over. BPL and the international T20 World Cup are the most popular in Bangladesh. IPL also draws strong interest from Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: A fifty-over match. There is more room for tactical play than in T20 — wickets in hand become important during the middle overs. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format.
Test: A five-day match where a draw is a valid result. Betting markets for Test cricket include draw odds — something not found in ODI or T20. Over the longer duration, pitch conditions, weather and player form all play a significant role.
Alongside cricket, bb88 apps also offers betting on football and other sports. In football a draw is a common result, so the Match Winner market has three options (Home Win, Draw, Away Win) rather than two as in cricket. This changes how odds and probabilities are calculated.
Popular betting markets and how they work
A cricket match offers many types of markets beyond just "who will win." Below are seven popular markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win the match — this is the simplest market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI. Example: Team A at odds 1.45, Team B at odds 2.75 — you place your bet on Team B.
Most PopularToss Betting
Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. Two options — heads or tails. It has no connection to pitch or weather conditions, but it is available as a separate market.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs for a given team. Several players are listed, so odds are generally higher here.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (Over) or below (Under) a set number. Example: T20 total runs Over or Under 160.
Two OptionsMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct for the full combined odds to pay out — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. The risk is higher, but the potential return can be much larger.
Higher ReturnFirst Wicket to Fall
Bet on within how many overs the first wicket will fall, across different ranges. On a batting-friendly pitch, the first wicket is more likely to fall later.
In-Match MarketHandicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual advantage (handicap) to level the market. For example: if strong Team A is given a -1.5 run handicap, they effectively start with fewer runs — making a bet on Team B available at closer odds.
How to read odds — three formats explained
bb88 apps generally displays odds in decimal format, but knowing fractional and American formats is also useful. See the two examples below.
Example 1 — the same price in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳1,000)
| Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|
| 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 |
If you win, total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite's price (Team B to win)
| Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|
| 1.25 | 1/4 | -400 |
American minus odds (-400) means you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Simple rules for understanding markets
- Multiply decimal odds directly by your stake to get the total return.
- Fractional odds (e.g. 3/2) show the profit ratio — the numerator is profit, the denominator is the stake.
- American plus (+) odds show profit on a ৳100 stake; minus (-) odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Big returns with Multi Bet — how odds multiply
A Multi Bet combines several separate selections into one bet. Each selection's odds are multiplied together, which pushes the total odds much higher.
Example with three selections: decimal 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (rounded). That means a ৳100 stake returns ৳490 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi Bet returns can look attractive, but the risk is also higher. A common approach is to set aside a portion of your budget for Multi Bets and use the rest for single bets. Keep in mind — betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
bb88 apps Bet offers Multi Bet alongside other betting options, where you can easily add selections and build a bet slip.
Live Betting — odds shift with every wicket
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. Odds change much faster here than in pre-match betting.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's chances of winning go down and their odds go up. Conversely, a big-scoring over brings the batting team's odds down. The market gets more active from the powerplay overs onward.
In Test matches, markets sometimes close temporarily at the end of a session (lunch or tea break). In T20, odds can refresh after every ball. Before placing a bet, make sure the odds are acceptable to you.
In live betting, it is better to understand the flow of the match before placing a bet rather than deciding in a rush. Staying within your set budget keeps the experience enjoyable.
A few useful tips before you start betting
- Set your budget first: Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Never exceed that amount. Do not try to recover losses by placing bigger bets.
- Understand the format before you bet: In T20, a single over can turn a match. In Test cricket, you need to consider five days of play. Betting without understanding the format increases the chance of making the wrong call.
- Build familiarity with one market: Start with simpler markets like Match Winner or Total Runs Over/Under. Spreading your attention across many complex markets at once makes it harder to focus.
- Keep Multi Bet selections limited: The more selections you add to a Multi Bet, the lower the chance of getting them all right. Staying at two or three selections keeps the risk manageable.
- Bet responsibly: The most important thing to remember is that betting is entertainment. To learn more about responsible betting, read our Responsible Gaming guide.
- Know the terms and conditions: Before using any bonus or offer, read the Terms and Conditions carefully so you have a clear understanding of the wagering requirements.
