Bet on cricket at winbd 18 — place bets across all formats from T20 to Test
Bet on BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches, as well as football and other sports — all on one platform.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is the passion of millions. At winbd 18 you can bet on all three international formats: T20, ODI and Test.
The fastest format — a 20-over match ends within a few hours. BPL and IPL are played in this format. T20 is the most popular with bettors because the situation can change with every over.
The 50-over format is the place for strategic betting. ODIs are played at the ICC World Cup and bilateral series. There are more opportunities to bet on overall scores and the course of the match.
In a five-day match a draw is possible, so there are three results in the market. In Test betting, pitch conditions and the pattern of wickets play an important role.
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL significantly increase betting activity in Bangladesh every season. The total amount bet is highest during the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy among international tournaments.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at winbd 18. European leagues, the AFC Championship and international football have a substantial following in Bangladesh. Football betting works somewhat differently from cricket — matches end within ninety minutes, and results can change in extra time and penalty shootouts.
Cricket offers a much wider variety of betting markets — from the toss to separate markets for runs, wickets and boundaries in each over. In football, match winner, total goals and half-time score are the most familiar markets. Set-based betting is also available for other sports such as tennis and badminton.

Cricket vs Football — the difference in betting
- Separate in-play markets for every over and ball in cricket
- Half-time result and full-time double chance markets in football
- A T20 match ends in just 3 hours; Test matches run for five days
- A draw is only possible in Test cricket; T20 and ODI have a Super Over
- Extra time and penalty shootouts are separate betting options in football
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Match Winner Market
Which team will win — this is the simplest market. In T20 and ODI there are only two results (the winning team); in Test there are three (Team A wins, Team B wins, draw). Example: if you back Team A, you receive a return only if Team A wins.
Toss Betting Market
Which team will win the toss — this is a pure 50-50 market. The toss has no connection to match quality or team strength. It is well known as a quick market.
Top Batsman Market
Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. You need to pick the highest run-scorer within a team. Knowing the team's batting order is important in this market.
Over / Under Total Runs
Whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: will total runs in a T20 be more than 160.5 — pick either over or under.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine three or more match markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you multiply the combined odds to get your return — if even one is wrong, you lose the entire stake.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a notional runs or wickets advantage, while the stronger team carries extra weight. Example: if Team B is given a 15-run handicap, Team B still wins the handicap bet even if they lose by just 14 runs.
Top Wickets Market
Which bowler will take the most wickets in a specific match — this market is equally popular alongside batsman-focused markets. Pitch type and the bowling lineup are the key factors here.
How to Read Odds — Explanation of Three Formats
Odds on betting platforms are written in three ways: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three are different expressions of the same result — the example below makes this clear.
| Odds Format | Odds for Team A Win | Return on ৳200 Stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳600 (same result) |
| American | +200 | ৳600 (same result) |
Example 1: if Team A wins, a ৳200 stake returns ৳600 (৳400 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
| Odds Format | Odds for Team B Win (Favourite) | Return on ৳200 Stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳360 (৳160 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳360 (same result) |
| American | -125 | 360 (minus odds = how much you need to stake to win 100) |
Example 2: Team B is the favourite so the odds are lower (1.80). A ৳200 stake returns ৳360 if Team B wins. In American format, minus (-125) means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit.
Calculating Odds in a Multi Bet
In a multi bet you multiply the odds of all selections together. If three matches have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined odds are:
So a ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all three are correct. But if even one match is wrong, you lose the entire ৳100. A multi bet offers a higher return, but the risk is proportional.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
You can place bets even after the match has started — odds update instantly with every ball and every wicket.
In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is especially useful because the situation changes quickly with every over.
Say Team A has made a good start and scored 80 runs in 10 overs — the odds for Team A to win will shorten. But if two wickets fall in the next over, the odds will lengthen again. This dynamic is what sets in-play betting apart.
- Check the run rate after the powerplay and choose your market for the next 10 overs
- After a wicket falls, the match winner market shifts to the updated odds
- The biggest odds movements occur in the final over when a chase is on
- Keep a live scorecard and ball-by-ball updates alongside you while betting
Using the winbd 18 mobile app makes live betting even easier — you can bet while watching the match.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — having the right knowledge makes each match more enjoyable. Here are some practical tips that will be useful for both new and experienced bettors.
BPL Betting — Special Note
Cricket betting is most active during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) season. Before placing a bet, consider each franchise team's strengths and weaknesses, the combination of local and foreign players, and the home venue advantage.
In IPL, the head-to-head records of Indian teams and the pitch characteristics of each venue influence the betting markets.

Betting Exchange — A Simple Guide to Understanding Back and Lay Markets
In regular betting you bet against the betting site. But in exchange betting you bet against other bettors — one person BACKs (betting the team will win) and the other LAYs (betting the team will lose).
Example: Team A odds are 1.80. You BACK with ৳1,000. If Team A wins, you make ৳800 profit (before commission); if they lose, you lose ৳1,000. If you LAY instead (against a ৳1,000 stake), you receive ৳1,000 if Team A does not win; but if Team A wins, you must pay ৳800 (this is your liability).
| Type | Result (Team A Wins) | Result (Team A Loses) |
|---|---|---|
| BACK ৳1,000 | +৳800 (before commission) | −৳1,000 |
| LAY (against a ৳1,000 stake) | −৳800 (liability) | +৳1,000 (before commission) |
The figures above are an example based on decimal odds of 1.80. Commission applies. Team names and figures are used as illustrative examples only.
