Cricket Betting at hhbd — Best Markets for BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — from the excitement of BPL to international T20, ODI and Test — hhbd covers every format of cricket.
Three Cricket Formats and How Betting Differs
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a feeling. hhbd offers betting markets across all three formats, though each format has its own pace and character.
T20 — In this 20-over format, every ball counts. The result can change at any moment, so market prices shift very quickly. Franchise tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in this format. Every Bangladesh Tigers match at the T20 World Cup gets special coverage at hhbd.
ODI — This 50-over format involves more strategy. There is an opportunity to assess the situation mid-match before entering a market. ICC World Cup and bilateral series both fall under this format.
Test — In this five-day format, wickets, sessions and weather combine to make markets far more varied. Alongside the Match Winner, a Draw is also a separate market — something that does not exist in T20 or ODI.

Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
hhbd offers betting not only on cricket but also on football and several other sports. Each sport, however, has a different market structure.
Football has three possible outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, Draw) — T20 and ODI cricket generally do not end in a draw, so the market is simpler. Handicap betting is very popular in football, where one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage — the result depends not just on who wins but by how many goals. Test cricket does have a Draw market, which is absent in T20 — in that respect it resembles football.

Popular Cricket Betting Markets
hhbd offers multiple markets for every cricket match. The most commonly used markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. T20 and ODI offer just two options (Team A or Team B); Test adds a third option, the Draw. Example: if Team A is the favourite, their odds will be lower, while a bet on Team B offers a higher potential return.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this market stands entirely on its own. It has no connection to the match result, making it a short-term market.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team — bets are placed based on expected innings performance. The result is decided once the innings ends.
Total Runs Over / Under
Whether total runs in the match will be above or below a set number — decisions here are based on team form and pitch conditions. Example: if the total runs line is 315.5, you can bet 'Over' (316+) or 'Under' (315−).
First Wicket to Fall
At what score will the first wicket fall in an innings — this is a specific market that concludes right at the start of the match. The strength or weakness of the opening partnership is the key factor.
Multi Bet (Multiple Markets)
You can add multiple matches or markets to a single betting slip. If all selections win, the odds multiply; but if any one loses, the entire stake is lost. Example: at hhbd Bet, you can combine bets on three separate matches into a Multi Bet.
Handicap / Run Line
A market is created by virtually giving one team a run head start or deficit. This method is used to balance the odds when there is a clear favourite. The result depends not just on who wins but also on the margin of victory in runs.
How to Read Odds — Examples Across Three Formats
hhbd displays odds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All examples below use fictional teams — they are for illustration only, not a guarantee of profit.
| Format | How It Looks | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳500 × 2.50 = ৳1,250 return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If you win, you get back ৳1,250 including ৳750 profit; if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
| Format | How It Looks | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | ৳500 × 1.50 = ৳750 return |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | -200 | ৳100 profit on a ৳200 stake |
The favourite has lower odds, so the profit is also lower — ৳750 return including ৳250 profit.
Keep in mind: Higher odds mean a higher potential profit, but only when your prediction is correct. Betting is purely for entertainment — never place a bet assuming a profit is guaranteed. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Over by Over
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. It works particularly well in cricket because the situation on the field shifts with every wicket and every over.
For example, if Team A has scored 50 runs for 3 wickets in 8 overs of a T20 match, Team B's odds will drop noticeably at that point because they are in a strong position. Conversely, if Team A scores 15 runs in the next over, the odds may come back to near-level.
In-play odds move more slowly in ODI or Test matches, giving you more time to analyse. A stable internet connection is essential for live betting, as odds can change within seconds.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
These are for enjoying the experience more mindfully — not strategies for making a profit.
Understand One Market Well First
If you are new, start with only the Match Winner market — moving to Multi Bet without a good grasp of multiple markets is not advisable.
Set a Budget Beforehand
Decide how much you will stake before each match — and do not change that decision while the match is going on.
Plan According to the Format
T20 and Test markets are different — T20 demands quick decisions while Test gives you more time. Understanding the pace of each format makes it easier to choose the right market.
No Rush in Live Betting
Odds change fast in-play, so watch every ball carefully rather than placing large bets on impulse.
Keep the Multi Bet Risk in Mind
A three-selection Multi Bet multiplies the odds for a good return if all win, but one loss ends the entire stake — so start with small amounts.
Take a Break When Needed
If you lose several bets in a row, it is better to take a break — placing larger bets to recover losses rarely works out.
