The three formats of cricket and popular tournaments

Each cricket format runs at a different pace — and so does the betting strategy. Find out which markets work best for each format.

T20 Cricket

BPL IPL T20 World Cup

Twenty overs of non-stop action. The situation changes every over, so live markets are the most active. BPL is especially popular among fans in Bangladesh, and any T20 match featuring the Tigers draws even more market activity.

ODI Cricket

ICC Asia Cup Bilateral Series

Fifty-over matches offer greater strategic depth. The batting situation in the middle overs and the pace-spin balance have a significant impact on markets. In ICC tournaments, ODI markets become especially varied.

Test Cricket

Five-day match Draw market

In a five-day Test, "draw" is a separate market alongside match winner. Pitch behaviour and weather conditions can shift the markets, making live betting in this format particularly interesting.

Football and Other Sports

At lb88 you can bet on football alongside cricket. In football, the result of a 90-minute match can change at any moment, so both pre-match and live markets are equally popular. While a T20 lasts only a few hours, football has extra time and penalties beyond regular time — giving markets an added dimension. Betting opportunities are also available for other sports such as kabaddi, badminton and tennis.

Popular Betting Markets at lb88

Understanding how each market works in cricket betting makes it easier to decide. Below are seven popular markets explained.

Match Winner

The simplest market — choose which team will win. Example: if you bet on Team A to win in a Team A vs Team B match, your bet is successful if Team A wins at the end.

Toss Winner

You can bet before the coin is tossed on the field — which captain will win the toss. It has no direct connection to the match result, which makes it an interesting standalone market.

Top Batsman

Pick in advance which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. The team's batting order and pitch conditions are important factors to consider here.

Total Runs Over/Under

Set a specific point (for example 160) and bet on whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under). Pitch and weather conditions play a big role in this market.

Multi Bet

Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. Example: Team A, Team B and Team A to win in three separate matches — if all three come through you win, but if even one fails the entire bet is lost. See detailed multi bet options at lb88 bet.

Top Wicket-Taker

Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or match — this market gives you the chance to analyse the pace and spin combination.

Betting Exchange

In this market you can not only back but also lay — meaning you can bet on a team to lose. Example: if you lay Team A, you profit if Team A does not win.

How to read odds — three formats

Betting odds are shown in three formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.

Example 1 — Odds for the underdog team

Say Team A wins at odds of decimal 3.00 — that is 2/1 in fractional and +200 in American format. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 if it wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.

Example 2 — Odds for the favourite team

Team B's winning odds are decimal 1.80 — that is 4/5 in fractional and -125 in American format (American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit) if it wins.

The higher the odds, the bigger the reward — but the lower the probability. Favourites generally have smaller odds (such as 1.80) because they are more likely to win. Understanding odds in betting means being able to judge a situation properly.

At lb88, odds are displayed in decimal format by default. You can choose your preferred format from the settings.

Live In-Play Betting — markets shift with every wicket

Live betting is the most fast-moving form of cricket betting. During the match, odds shift with every wicket, every boundary and at the end of the powerplay. If Team A gets off to a good start in the powerplay, their odds of winning come down; a big wicket falling pushes them back up.

Watching the match closely is the biggest advantage in in-play betting. Whether you are at a busy ground in Dhaka or anywhere else, live betting on the lb88 App offers the same convenience — join live markets on mobile via the lb88 App.

Powerplay shift

Watch the run rate in the first six overs, then place your next bet accordingly.

Odds when a wicket falls

A wicket in the top order brings a significant change to the odds on the run target.

Practical tips for cricket betting

Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following tips in mind makes the experience better.

Set a budget

Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each week or month. Take a break once the budget is used up.

Focus on one market

Start with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Entering too many markets at once adds unnecessary complexity.

Understand the format before betting

The last five overs in T20 and the middle overs in ODI play out differently — adjust your approach based on the format.

Treat it as entertainment

Do not expect a regular income from betting — it is a form of entertainment. When you lose, it is better not to chase losses.

Responsible gaming

Read the responsible gaming guide to keep your betting in check — lb88 always supports informed users.

Know the terms and conditions

Before claiming a bonus, read the terms and conditions carefully, especially the wagering requirements.

Frequently asked questions — cricket betting

T20 matches move at a faster pace, so odds shift quickly and live betting stays more active. In ODIs, the fifty-over format means middle-over tactics and bowling plans influence markets differently. In Test matches, the possibility of a draw adds an extra betting option.

A multi bet combines several selections together and multiplies the odds of each. For example, combining three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 gives total odds of 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximate). On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections win you receive ৳428. However, if even one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost.

Wickets falling, boundaries or sixes, the end of the powerplay, rain breaks and changes in run rate — all of these cause live odds to update continuously. If a team's top batter is dismissed quickly, their odds of winning increase; a strong start brings those odds down.

In American odds, the plus (+) sign shows how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet. Example: +200 means a ৳100 bet returns ৳200 in profit. The minus (−) sign shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100. Example: −125 means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100.

In Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches, match winner, top batsman and total runs over/under are the most used markets. Given the T20 format, live betting is also very active in BPL. The toss market is a favourite among many fans.
