Cricket betting at fb88 — best odds for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup now in Bengali
fb88 brings cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet across a range of markets, from outright match winner to top batsman. T20, ODI or Test — each format has its own strategy and its own appeal.
Cricket betting formats and tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — all three formats offer a different kind of betting experience. Understanding what to look for in each format makes choosing your market much easier.
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format, odds shift quickly. All major franchise leagues around the world, including BPL and IPL, are played in this format. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup draw extra interest.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI Cricket
In this 50-over format, the pace of the match can change even mid-way through. In ICC World Cup and bilateral series ODI matches, over/under and top batsman markets are the most popular.
ICC WC Bilateral SeriesTest Cricket
In a five-day Test, the result can be a win, a loss or a draw — so the market is split into three options. In ICC World Test Championship matches between top sides, the odds offer more variety.
WTC Ashes BilateralFootball and other sports
At fb88 you can bet on football, tennis and other sports alongside cricket. Football has more markets than cricket — there are dozens of options including goalscorer, assist, and corner count. Cricket markets, however, are built specifically around wickets, overs and runs, which naturally feels more familiar to cricket fans. Those who want to play games beyond sports can also check out the live casino and slots section at fb88 Casino.
Football Tennis BasketballPopular markets in cricket and examples
You can place bets in several markets before a match begins. Here is a brief explanation of how each market works.
-
1
Match Winner
Betting on the simple question of which team will win. In T20 and ODI matches there are only two options (the two teams); in Test matches there are three (win, loss, draw). -
2
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. The prices for both teams are usually close. This is not directly related to the match result. -
3
Top Batsman
Which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings or the full match. The best batsman in a team usually has a lower price. -
4
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a number (e.g. 155 runs). You bet on whether the total runs will be higher than that number (over) or lower (under). -
5
Multi Bet
Combining multiple markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return multiplies significantly, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. -
6
Handicap Betting
To reduce the difference in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a head start of a certain number of runs or wickets. This makes the prices look more even. -
7
Top Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. On pace-friendly pitches, spinners generally have a higher price.
How to read odds — three formats
Before starting cricket betting it is important to recognise decimal, fractional and American odds. All three are just different ways of writing the same price. Use the examples below to understand them.
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳200)
Team A win price: decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150.
With a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins the return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake back).
If Team A loses you lose the full ৳200.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (৳200)
Team B price: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200.
American minus odds show how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit.
With a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 stake).
Remember: all three formats express the same price — only the way of writing it differs. fb88 shows decimal odds by default, but you can change them to your preference. For more details on odds or betting rules, read the FAQ.
Live in-play betting — prices change with every over and wicket
You can bet live while a match is in progress — this is known as in-play betting. In T20, odds change instantly when a wicket falls or a big over is bowled. For example, if Team A has scored 90 runs for 3 wickets after 10 overs, their price shifts noticeably.
A few things to keep in mind for in-play betting:
-
⚡
Make quick decisions
Odds update rapidly in live markets. Try to follow the situation ball by ball. -
📊
Track overs and wickets
How many runs are needed, how many overs are left, how many wickets remain — assess the situation using all three together. -
🎯
In-play next over market
On some platforms you can also bet on how many runs will be scored in the next over — this is a short-term market.
Using the fb88 app, you can see live scores and in-play odds in one place on your mobile. The app is available for Android and iOS — through the official download method.
Multi bets and practical tips
Multi bet example
Suppose you place bets on three separate matches — decimal odds 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90.
The combined odds in a multi bet are: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52 (approximately).
With a ৳100 bet, if all three selections win the return is ৳452.
But if even one loses the entire ৳100 is gone. A multi bet offers a higher return but also a higher risk.
Practical tips
- 1 Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will spend per session — this keeps betting enjoyable.
- 2 Understand the format: T20 and Test markets are different — start with whichever format you are most comfortable with.
- 3 Focus on one market: Build experience in the match winner market first, then move on to other markets.
- 4 Be careful with multi bets: Adding one selection after another also increases the risk — keep the number low.
- 5 Betting is entertainment: Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income — read the responsible gaming guide.

How to keep betting fun
Cricket betting is most enjoyable when it is seen as part of the fun. The excitement of a match grows when you have a small bet on your favourite team — but chasing losses takes all that enjoyment away.
A few simple habits help keep betting under control: set a weekly budget in advance and stop betting once you reach it. Placing a bigger bet after a loss to "win it back" is called chasing losses — avoiding this is the most important thing.
Betting should always be done of your own free will and within your means. Read fb88's Terms and Conditions to understand the rules.
Cricket betting is for entertainment only. It is not a source of income. For 21+ only.
