Cricket Betting at 2bet — Bet on all formats from BPL, IPL and T20 to Test
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport, and betting on it is now easier than ever. At 2bet, place bets across a range of markets from match winner to top batsman, and take advantage of live in-play betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Tournaments That Draw Attention
Cricket is more than just a game on the field — millions of fans in Bangladesh follow every ball closely. At 2bet, you can bet on all three major formats: T20, ODI and Test.
T20: The fastest format — each side faces only 20 overs, so odds shift from moment to moment. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the biggest draws in this format. When the Bangladesh Tigers take the field, every BPL match becomes a celebration.
ODI: Matches in this 50-over format last longer, so betting strategy differs. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series receive the most attention here.
Test: This classic five-day format moves at a slower pace, but markets such as match winner, series winner and player-based bets are particularly popular. Odds shift when wickets fall or pitch behaviour changes.
Betting on Football and Other Sports Alongside Cricket
Cricket is the main focus at 2bet, but football also gets significant coverage. Markets are available for English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and international tournament matches. Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw — so all markets show three options.
In limited-overs cricket matches a draw is generally not possible (excluding walkovers or abandoned matches), so the odds for each side are slightly higher. In Test cricket, however, a draw is a real possibility, which means three betting options are open and the odds structure is closer to football.
Sports like kabaddi and badminton typically have fewer markets and a narrower range of odds. Cricket offers the most markets for betting variety — especially during the BPL and IPL seasons.

The Most Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
At 2bet, a single cricket match can offer many types of markets. Below are seven main markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. Team A vs Team B — if the team you back wins, you receive a payout. T20 matches generally do not end in a draw.
Simplest MarketToss Winner
Before the match starts — you can bet on which team will win the toss. The outcome is completely even-chance, so the odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Pre-Match MarketTop Batsman
Odds are offered against named players for who will score the most runs in a single innings or across the full match. The team's form and batting position are taken into account.
Player-Based BetTotal Runs Over/Under
A specific run line is set — for example 160. You bet on whether the team will score above that line (over) or below it (under). The line is set based on the batting team's form and pitch conditions.
Runs-Based BetMulti Bet
Add multiple matches or markets to the same bet slip — you win the combined odds payout only if every selection is correct. If even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Higher risk, higher potential payout.
Higher-Risk MarketFirst Wicket to Fall
Bet on which over the first wicket will fall in, or at what score it will come — this market is especially popular in ODI and Test cricket. On a pace-friendly pitch, the chance of an early first wicket is higher.
In-Play MarketHandicap Betting
When there is a clear difference in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage — such as "+1.5 wickets" or "-15 runs" margin. The bet outcome is decided based on this margin. The outcome is explained in words; no specific stake or return figure is given.
Decimal, Fractional and American — Three Ways to Read Odds
The same odds can be written in three different formats. 2bet generally uses the decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easy to use any betting site.
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including stake is 2.25 times the stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Profit is ৳5 for every ৳4 bet |
| American | +125 | Profit is ৳125 on a ৳100 bet |
Worked Example 1 (Underdog — Team A): Team A's win odds are 2.25 decimal, 5/4 fractional, +125 American. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you receive ৳450 back (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Worked Example 2 (Favourite — Team B): Team B's win odds are 1.80 decimal, 4/5 fractional, -125 American. American minus odds mean a ৳125 bet returns ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you receive ৳360 back (৳160 profit).
Live In-Play Betting with Wickets and Overs
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. After the match starts, odds change with every ball, every wicket and every boundary. At 2bet, live in-play betting lets you follow this movement in cricket directly.
When a wicket falls: If the batting team loses a wicket, their chance of winning drops, so their odds go up and the fielding team's odds come down. The shift is especially sharp when a wicket falls during the powerplay or in the death overs.
As overs pass: In T20, in the final 5 overs, odds move second by second depending on how many runs the chasing side still needs. The more runs required off fewer balls, the higher the chasing team's odds rise.
Before placing a bet in live betting, remember — it is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines and stay within your set budget.

Keep These Points in Mind for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guaranteed profit and no way to know the outcome in advance. Keeping the following points in mind helps you enjoy it more responsibly.
-
1Set a budget first
Set a separate budget for each match and do not go beyond it. Avoid the temptation to place larger bets to "win back" what you have lost. -
2Understand one market well
Start by focusing only on the match winner or over/under market. Betting on too many markets at once can make it hard to keep track. -
3Be careful with multi bets
The combined odds in a multi bet can look attractive, but if even one of three selections is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Use the multi bet feature at 2bet as entertainment. -
4Match the odds format
Decimal 1.80 means that team is the favourite — compare it with fractional 4/5 or American -125; all three are saying the same thing. -
5Stay patient in live betting
Odds move fast in live betting — rather than rushing in, watch a few balls and read the situation first. At 2bet you have time to review all information before confirming a bet.
Responsible Betting
Betting at 2bet is for entertainment — not as an alternative to income or investment. If you feel betting is getting out of control, take a break or follow the guidance on the responsible gaming page.
