Cricket betting at bd789 — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now even more enjoyable — live bet on T20, ODI and Test formats at bd789, understand the odds and place bets your way.
Three formats of cricket — what betting looks like in each
Much of the enjoyment of cricket betting depends on the match format. In T20, every over can quickly change the situation, so odds shift from moment to moment. In a 20-over contest, a big hit or three wickets in one over can completely overturn a bettor's calculations. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most talked-about tournaments in this format — Bangladeshi fans are most enthusiastic about these two leagues.
In the 50-over ODI format, the powerplay, middle overs and death overs each call for a different approach. Centuries, partnerships or a mid-match wicket — live odds shift significantly at these moments. ODI betting is most active during international tournaments such as the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.
Test cricket is a five-day game of patience. Here odds change slowly, and there is scope for long-term bets based on pitch behaviour, weather and the number of wickets fallen. For those who follow every session closely, Test betting is a different kind of experience.
Betting on football and other sports — where the difference lies
Football is also popular on bd789 alongside cricket. However, the style of betting on the two sports is quite different. In cricket a match can last several hours to five days, with odds changing on every over or wicket. In football the match is 90 minutes and odds move quickly when a goal or red card occurs.
A draw is possible in cricket (in Tests), but in T20 or ODI one team generally wins. In football a draw is a common result, so markets are structured differently. In cricket the toss, batting order or pitch conditions influence betting decisions — none of these are relevant in football.
Basic markets are also available for sports like Kabaddi, volleyball and tennis. Because each sport has its own pace and structure, betting strategies differ too. For those who want to bet on multiple sports, various sports markets are available in one place at bd789 Bet.
7 popular cricket betting markets
Each market has its own character — some are straightforward, some are analytical. Here is a brief overview of the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. For example — Team A vs Team B: you choose Team B, and if Team B wins, your bet is a winner.
Most commonToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random — the toss can be significant in T20 and ODI.
Quick resultTop Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs for a team or overall. For example — which batter will score the highest for Team A.
Performance bettingTotal Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example — whether Team A will score more than 160 runs in 20 overs.
Run-basedMulti Bet (accumulator)
A single bet combining multiple matches or markets. All selections must be correct to win — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
High returnWickets and Bowler Markets
A bet on how many wickets will fall in an innings or which bowler will take the most wickets. In Test cricket, pitch analysis plays a key role in this market.
Specialist marketHandicap and Innings-Based Markets
In a handicap market, a virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a team to level the odds. In over-based markets, you can bet on how many runs will be scored in a specific over — this is especially popular in live betting.
How to read odds — three formats
The odds for the same bet on the same match can be written in three different formats. The numbers look different but the actual return is the same.
| Format | How it is written | Example (Team A wins, stake ৳200) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total returned if you win: ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Same result — ৳300 profit on a ৳200 stake |
| American | +150 | Same bet returns ৳500 in total; if you lose, the full ৳200 is gone |
Odds are lower for the favourite. If Team B is the favourite, odds might be 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional or -200 in American. In that case a ৳200 stake returns ৳300 in total — meaning only ৳100 profit. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
Most bettors on bd789 use decimal odds as they are the easiest to read. You can choose whichever format you prefer.
Live betting during a match — new opportunities every moment
In-play or live betting means you can still place bets after a match has started. In cricket this is especially engaging because the situation changes after every over, wicket or big shot.
- Impact of a wicket falling: When a big batter is dismissed, the batting team's odds rise quickly — the fielding team's chances improve.
- Over rate and run rate: In T20, if a team scores only 60 runs in 10 overs, odds shift based on whether they can reach the target in the remaining 10 overs.
- Impact of a new bowler: A fresh spell from a spinner or pacer can change conditions on the field — live odds reflect this immediately.
- Innings break: Betting in the second innings after seeing the first innings score lets you make decisions with a clear target in mind.
Live betting moves fast — odds and markets may temporarily close. Using the bd789 App on mobile lets you see live scores and odds together from anywhere.
Useful habits in cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — here are some common habits that experienced bettors follow.
- Understand one market well first: Beginners should focus on the Match Winner market first. Jumping into all markets at once creates confusion.
- Set a budget beforehand: Decide how much you will stake in each session before you start. Avoid going beyond that limit even after a win.
- Bet with an understanding of the format: Odds work differently in T20 and Test. Betting without understanding the format can lead to confusing results.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining multiple selections makes the potential return look bigger, but one wrong pick loses the entire bet. It is better not to combine more than two or three selections.
- Betting is entertainment, not a source of income: Bet to add to the enjoyment of watching a match. Whether you win or lose, staying within your means is what matters most.
