888sport Cricket Betting — View Odds for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Follow every moment of cricket across all formats from T20 to Test — bet on multiple markets including match winner, top batsman and multi bet.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — What to Look For in Each
Cricket's three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test — each offer a completely different betting experience. T20 lasts only a few hours, so run and wicket counts shift quickly and odds move frequently. In ODIs, the extra time means mid-innings strategy plays a bigger role. Test matches run over five days — there is much more time to consider pitch conditions, weather, and the form of batters and bowlers.
On the competition side, BPL is closest to the hearts of Bangladeshi fans. The interest in betting while watching local stars play comes naturally. At the international level, IPL and the T20 World Cup attract a huge following. In ICC tournaments, Bangladesh Tigers matches always generate extra excitement among supporters.
All these competition matches are available in one place on 888sport, making it easy to follow everything on a single platform — from a late-night BPL match to the final day of a Test series.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each Bet Works
Match Winner
You simply pick which of the two teams will win. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so it is just Team A or Team B — two possibilities.
Toss Result
A bet on who will win the coin toss before the match begins. It has nothing to do with the decision to bat or bowl — it is purely the outcome of the coin flip.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team in the match. The odds for this market change constantly as the innings progresses.
Total Runs Over/Under
888sport sets a specific runs line, for example 160. If you think the team will score more than that — bet Over; if you think they will score less — bet Under.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases significantly, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on who will take the most wickets in the match. Reading the pitch conditions and the situation to choose between a spinner or a pacer can influence the outcome.
Beyond these, markets such as run rate, powerplay score and handicap are also available. The full list of betting markets can be found at 888sport Bet.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
Odds on 888sport may be displayed in three forms: decimal, fractional and American. All three say the same thing — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A win odds | Team B (favourite) odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
First example — betting on Team A to win (stake ৳1,000): Decimal odds of 2.50 mean ৳2.50 comes back for every ৳1 wagered. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 in total — that is ৳1,500 profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake back. If the bet loses, only that ৳1,000 is gone.
Second example — favourite Team B (stake ৳1,000): Team B's decimal odds are 1.25 — because they are considered the likely winner. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit). In American format, -400 means you need to wager ৳400 to win ৳100 — a minus figure always indicates the favourite.
Team A / Team B are examples only and are not a promise of live odds or the outcome of any specific match.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections — decimal 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 — multiplied together give combined odds of ≈ 4.79. A ৳100 bet returns ৳479 if all three are correct. But if any one of them is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
In-Play Betting During a Match — Odds Change Every Moment
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. Odds shift quickly with every wicket — if the batting team loses three wickets in two overs, their odds of winning increase while the opposition's shorten.
As the overs progress, the run rate picture becomes clearer. If runs are low in the powerplay, the 'under' odds for total runs in later overs may shorten. This constant movement makes live betting a reason to watch every development in the match more closely.
The live betting section on 888sport shows score and time updates, so you can follow the match and place bets on the same screen. In-play bets are also available for football and other sports alongside cricket.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
After cricket, football attracts the largest audience in Bangladesh. Betting markets for major European leagues and international tournaments differ somewhat from cricket. In football, a draw is a possible result, so each match has three options — Team A win, Team B win or draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so the markets are simpler.
Football handicap betting or 'Asian handicap' works differently — it takes the goal difference into account, which is completely unlike cricket's run handicap.
Beyond cricket, markets for sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi are also available. Each sport has its own market structure, so before starting to bet on a new sport it is worth learning its rules and betting terms.
Before You Start Betting — Some Practical Advice
Set a fixed budget: Betting is for entertainment, not a source of income. Decide in advance how much you will spend each week or month and it is sensible not to go beyond that.
It is better to avoid multiple markets in one match: Placing many bets on the same match adds complexity. Start by focusing on one or two markets — such as just the match winner or total runs.
No rushing on live bets: Odds in in-play betting change quickly. Observing the match for a moment after a change and then placing your bet is generally more effective.
Read the terms: Before taking a bonus or promotion, read the terms and conditions carefully — knowing the wagering requirements prevents confusion later.
Play responsibly: If you feel betting is getting out of control, support information is available on the responsible gaming page. For ages 21+.
Convenient betting on the app: The 888sport app brings live scores and betting together in one place, making it easy whether you are at home or out.
