Cricket Betting at 789bet — Bet on every match from BPL, IPL to T20 World Cup
789bet offers betting across all three cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — with markets ranging from match winner to over/under, toss and top batsman. With live in-play betting, odds shift with every wicket and every over.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
T20 is the most popular cricket format among fans in Bangladesh. Short innings, fast scoring and last-over tension make this format particularly engaging to bet on. BPL is the country's biggest T20 league, and 789bet offers betting markets for every match in the league.
IPL is also followed closely in Bangladesh. Each match features a wide range of markets — match winner, top run scorer, total runs and more. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and other ICC events always draw the most interest.
Betting on ODI and Test matches works a little differently. In ODIs, strategy shifts across 50 overs, while session-based betting is popular in Tests. Longer formats allow bettors to assess a team's form before placing bets. 789bet offers football betting markets alongside cricket — though the structure differs, as football has three possible outcomes including a draw, whereas limited-overs cricket has no draw.
T20 Format
In BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup, the situation can change on every ball. In-play markets are most active here.
ODI Format
Match winner and total runs markets are most popular in 50-over matches. ICC events and bilateral series offer a wide range of markets.
Test Format
Five-day matches offer session-based betting and series winner markets. This format suits those who prefer to follow the game at a steadier pace.
Popular Betting Markets — What Each One Means
Cricket betting has dozens of markets. The ones below are a good starting point for new bettors — understanding each one clearly makes the experience more enjoyable.
Bet on who wins the match
Pick which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI matches have no draw, so there are only two options. The simplest and most popular market.
Who wins the toss
You can bet on the toss result before the match starts. This is a standalone market — it has no direct connection to the match result.
Who will score the most runs
Bet on which batsman from a specific team will score the most runs. Understanding a team's batting order makes this market especially interesting.
Over / Under runs
Bet on whether the total runs in a match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will the first innings produce more than 170 runs?
Multiple bets combined
Combine results from different matches or markets on a single slip. All selections must be correct to win; one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Higher potential returns come with higher risk.
Who will win the series
Bet in advance on which team will win a multi-match series. As a long-term market, odds tend to vary more widely.
How is football betting different?
789bet offers football betting markets alongside cricket. Football has three possible outcomes — home win, away win and draw. This is why the 1X2 market has three options, with each priced differently. In limited-overs cricket, it's a straight contest between two teams, so the match winner market is simpler.
Football has corners, cards and first goalscorer markets, which don't exist in cricket. Cricket, on the other hand, has wickets, powerplay runs and over-by-over markets that are unique to the sport. The cricket betting section at 789bet is the most detailed for cricket fans.

How Odds Work — Three Formats Explained
Odds come in three main formats — decimal, fractional and American. Decimal odds are most commonly used in Bangladesh because they are straightforward to calculate.
| Odds Format | Team A win price | Team B win price (favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 | Profit / stake ratio |
| American | +125 | -400 | + means profit on a ৳100 win; − means amount needed to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — Underdog bet
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal odds 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,250 — that is ৳1,250 profit plus ৳1,000 stake back. If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite bet
Team B is the favourite, odds 1.25 (fractional 1/4, American -400). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if Team B wins — a profit of only ৳250. American −400 means you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Higher odds mean the bookmaker sees that outcome as less likely — the potential return is higher but so is the risk. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income.
Odds shift when wickets fall — In-Play Betting
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while a match is ongoing. The odds in the 15th over of a T20, when one team is scoring quickly, will be different from the odds in the first over. When a wicket falls, the odds for the chasing team lengthen because their chances of winning have decreased.
Markets refresh with each new over — over runs, next wicket, powerplay total score and other markets all update continuously. This becomes particularly intense in the final ten overs of T20 and ODI matches.
If you use the 789bet app for live betting, you can follow the match and place bets from anywhere on your mobile.
Live betting in Test cricket is a different experience — session-based markets (such as session runs over/under) are more common here. Wicket statistics and pitch conditions also influence market odds.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is one form of entertainment — the goal is enjoyment, not quick wealth. A few simple habits can keep the experience positive.
Start with one format
Begin by focusing on either T20 or ODI. Spreading across all match types at once makes it harder to follow.
Understand the market before you bet
Try new markets with small stakes first. Starting with total runs or match winner helps build a clear understanding.
Set a budget beforehand
Decide how much you will bet per match or per week before you start. Once you reach that limit, stop for the day — there will always be another match.
Be patient in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Rather than rushing, take a moment to see where the match is heading before making a decision.
Follow responsible betting practices
Betting is entertainment — do not bet under pressure or to recover losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to know your limits.
