Cricket Betting at 33bd — The Best Betting Experience on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on Bangladesh's most loved sport — multiple markets across all formats from T20 to Test, live in-play odds, and fast payments via bKash, Nagad and Rocket.
The three formats of cricket and the tournaments everyone follows
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know how the three distinct formats of the game work. T20 is the fastest format — just 20 overs per innings, so a match wraps up in a few hours. A rapid collapse of wickets or a burst of power hitting can shift the course of a match in moments. That unpredictability is what makes T20 betting stand apart.
ODI, or one-day cricket, consists of two innings of 50 overs each. Strategy builds gradually here — a team's mid-over performance, partnerships and use of the powerplay all play a role in betting. Five-day Test cricket offers the most scope for detailed analysis — pitch conditions, weather and session-by-session performance have a direct bearing on betting markets.
Among tournaments, BPL has always held special interest for Bangladeshi fans. With local players alongside international stars, every BPL match is a keen contest. IPL features the best batters and bowlers in the world, making it another favourite among bettors. International fixtures — particularly the ICC T20 World Cup, the Asia Cup and Bangladesh Tigers series — keep betting markets active throughout the year.
How betting differs between football and other sports
The main structural difference between cricket and football betting markets lies in the number of possible outcomes. Football has three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. In limited-overs cricket (T20 and ODI) a draw is not possible, so markets generally offer just two options. In Test cricket, however, a draw is possible, giving three outcomes just as in football.
In football, a single goal can change a match; in cricket, a single wicket or one big over can turn the entire game around. In football you can adjust your bets after seeing the half-time score; in cricket markets update at the end of every over, making live betting far more fast-moving. This is why cricket betting has a distinct following among bettors in Bangladesh.
33bd also offers betting markets on other sports such as badminton, tennis and kabaddi. Because the rules and scoring of each sport differ, their betting markets are structured differently as well.

Live Odds Over-UnderPopular bet types in cricket and how they work
Several markets are available for cricket betting at 33bd. The type of each and a simple example are given below.
Match Winner
Simply pick which of the two teams will win — that is all there is to it. In a T20 match, bet on either Team A or Team B. If the team you chose wins, your bet wins.
T20 · ODI · Test
Toss Winner
You can pick who will win the toss before the match begins. The result depends solely on the coin toss — it has nothing to do with the strength of either team.
Pre-Match Bet
Top Batsman
This market is about picking which batter will score the most runs. Both teams' innings are taken into account, so this bet runs for the duration of the entire match.
All FormatsTotal Runs Over/Under
The site sets a specific run total (the line). You choose whether the total runs scored in the match will be above or below that line. Example: line is 160 runs — if the total is 175, the "over" bet wins.
T20 · ODIMulti Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. If all bets win the return is large, but if even one loses the entire bet is void. For a detailed breakdown, see the 33bd Bet page.
High Return All SportsTop Bowler
This market is about picking which bowler will take the most wickets. Knowing the pitch conditions and the team's bowling lineup makes this market easier to assess.
ODI · TestDecimal, fractional and American — three types of odds
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The decimal format is the most familiar and easiest to read — the total return (including the stake) is shown directly.
The fractional format shows only the profit (excluding the stake). In the American format, a positive number shows how much profit a ৳100 bet returns, while a negative number shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Team A to win — Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150.
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 on a win (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Team B to win — Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400.
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 on a win (৳250 profit); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
How do odds determine the return?
- Higher odds mean a bigger potential win — but they also mean the site considers that outcome less likely.
- Lower odds (1.10, 1.20) indicate a favourite — the return is smaller, but the site considers that outcome more likely.
- Decimal return calculation: stake × odds = total return.
- In a multi bet, odds are multiplied together — so if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
- Odds can change before and during a match.

In-play betting during a match — odds shift with every wicket
In-play or live betting is the most fast-moving experience in cricket betting. Once a match starts, markets update with every ball and over. For example, if two quick wickets fall in the powerplay, the match-winner odds for the batting team lengthen while those for the bowling team shorten.
The same happens in over-under markets — when runs come quickly, the odds on the "under" bet lengthen, while a slow innings makes the "over" bet odds more attractive. In Test cricket, pitch changes mid-session also influence markets.
Through the 33bd App you can view live match odds and place in-play bets from your mobile with ease — find out more on the 33bd App page.
Why odds change in-play
- Quick wickets — the batting team's odds lengthen
- A big partnership in the powerplay — the batting team's odds shorten
- Play stopping due to rain or bad light — odds change for both sides
- High runs required in the final over — the chasing team's odds lengthen
- New ball in a Test — the bowling team's odds improve
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — that is the right mindset to start with. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more organised.
- Set a budget and never bet more than that amount.
- Understand the format — T20, ODI and Test markets each work differently.
- Adding many matches to a multi bet makes the potential return look large, but the chance of winning all of them decreases as well.
- In live betting, look at the odds carefully rather than getting swept up in the moment.
- Read the rules and terms — full details are on the Terms and Conditions page.
- If you hit a losing streak, take a break; avoid placing large bets to recover losses.
