Cricket Betting at 333bet — Best Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — bet on all cricket formats in a simple interface. Football and other sports are also available.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
The three international cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer something different for bettors. T20 is the fastest, with results known within a few hours. ODI is a bit longer but richer in tactics. Test matches play out over five days and test the true strength of each team.
Among competitions, BPL is the most popular among Bangladeshi spectators and bettors. The domestic franchise tournament produces exciting betting moments every year. IPL, T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers international series also generate large markets.
333bet covers matches across all these competitions. Whether it is T20 or ODI, it is important to understand the context and significance of a match before placing a bet. Betting should always be for entertainment — it is not a source of income.
Football and Other Sports — What Makes Them Different
In addition to cricket, you can also bet on football at 333bet. The key difference in football is the possibility of a draw — with three outcomes (win, loss, draw), odds work a bit differently. In cricket T20 or ODI there are usually only two outcomes, so the odds structure is simpler.
Betting markets are also available for other sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Live betting odds change according to each sport's own rules — just as odds shift when a wicket falls in cricket, a goal in football reshapes the market.
333bet's BetterLive live betting platform lets you place bets in real time while a match is in progress — this feature makes sports betting a more active experience.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Choose between Team A and Team B. This market is used most in T20 because results come quickly.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. The toss matters in cricket because teams choose to bat or field based on pitch conditions. This is one of the quickest-settling markets.
Top Batsman
A market on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Bets are placed based on the recent form of each team's top batters.
Total Runs Over / Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: will Team A score more than 170 runs in their innings?
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet — the odds of each outcome are multiplied together. You only receive a return if all selections win.
Powerplay Score
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first six overs (the powerplay). A common example: will Team A score more than 50 runs in the first six overs?
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just presented differently.
| Format | Team A (Win) | Outcome (৳1,000 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Return ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Return ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500) |
| American | +150 | Return ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500) |
All three formats here express the same odds. If Team A wins, a ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,500 — meaning ৳1,500 profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake. If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Now look at a favourite example. Decimal odds of 1.50 for Team B to win (fractional 1/2, American -200). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 if Team B wins — a profit of only ৳500. American -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 — a sign of a strong favourite.

Quick Summary
- Decimal — simple; just multiply to get your return
- Fractional — shows profit only; your stake is separate
- American — + means underdog, – means favourite
- Bigger number means underdog, smaller number means favourite
- If you lose, your full stake is gone
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
In-play betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. In cricket, when a wicket falls, the situation on the field changes quickly — and the odds shift along with it.
As an example, say Team A is batting and has lost two wickets in the first five overs. At that point, Team A's win odds will rise (because their chances of winning have dropped), and Team B's win odds will fall. An attentive bettor can observe these changes and make a new decision.
The end of the powerplay, the 15th over or the final five overs can all turn a match around. New options open up in the live market at these moments. Keep in mind though — live betting calls for quick decisions, so set your limits before placing a bet.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Set your budget first
Decide how much you will spend per session before you start. Never go beyond your budget — betting is entertainment, not a way to recover losses.
Focus on one market
Start by focusing on the match winner or toss market. Placing bets across many markets at once makes things complicated.
Understand the match context
Try to understand the pitch type, weather and each team's recent performance — these help when analysing odds.
Be careful with multi bet
Multi bet offers higher returns but also higher risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost — so start with small stakes.
Make calm decisions in live betting
Odds change fast in live betting. Understand the situation before placing a bet rather than acting on emotion with large stakes.
