Cricket Betting at 3333bet — Best Odds for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — betting options, live odds and multiple markets across every format. Cricket betting at 3333bet goes well beyond just picking a winner.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Bangladesh's Favourite Competitions
To understand cricket betting, it helps to first recognise the three formats separately — because each has a different pace, strategy and set of available markets.
T20: This twenty-over format is the most popular. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments followed most closely by fans in Bangladesh. Matches finish quickly, so live betting creates new opportunities with every over.
ODI (One-Day Match): The fifty-over format is a bit slower, but offers many options in top batsman or total runs markets. The Tigers' ODI performance in international series always stays at the centre of bettors' interest.
Test Match: This five-day format is the most complex. Pitch conditions, weather and team lineups all need to be considered when analysing markets. A draw is a valid result in Test cricket, so there are three possible outcomes to bet on.
Alongside cricket, 3333bet also offers betting on football, tennis, basketball and more. In football, markets go beyond the match result to include half-time score, number of corners and similar options that are not available in cricket. Cricket's total runs, wickets and over-based markets are more specialised, so as you gain experience it becomes easier to choose your preferred markets.
Popular Betting Markets — An Introduction to Each
Cricket betting is not limited to wagering on the match winner — understanding seven different markets gives you far more options in every match.
Match Winner
A direct bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (in Test there are three — team A wins, team B wins or draw). Example: in team A vs team B, placing a ৳500 bet on team B returns the amount at the set odds if team B wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. This is a completely separate market from the main match — the match result has no effect here. Many bettors look at pitch and weather conditions when considering the toss market.
Top Batsman
Which batsman within a specific team will score the most runs. Example: choose one of five batsmen on team A's side — if that player scores the most runs, the bet wins.
Total Runs — Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a line, such as "160 runs in the innings". You bet on whether the runs scored will be more (over) or less (under). If team A scores 178 at the end of the innings, those who bet over will win.
Man of the Match
A bet on who will be named the best player at the end of the match. This depends on both batting and bowling performance — so odds on all-round performers are often attractive.
Multi-Bet
A method of combining multiple selections into one bet slip. Example: match winner + toss winner + total runs — the odds of all three selections are multiplied to produce a larger potential return, but if any one selection loses the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for a detailed calculation.
Innings Wickets
A bet on how many wickets will fall in a specific innings — usually on an over/under line. The team's batting order and pitch pace play a big role in this market.
How to Read Odds — Explanation of Three Formats
Many new bettors find odds confusing — in reality, all three formats express the same information in different ways.
| Format | Team A Win (Example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return on the bet — including the original stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit for every ৳100 staked (plus = underdog) |
Example 1 (Team A wins, ৳1,000 bet): Decimal 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. If it wins, ৳3,000 is returned — ৳2,000 profit and ৳1,000 original stake; if it loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B wins, favourite, ৳1,000 bet): Decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — here -400 means a ৳400 bet is needed to win ৳100. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
3333bet generally displays decimal odds — these are the easiest to read. Before starting to bet, it is a good idea to read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live Betting — How Odds Change During a Match
In-play betting at 3333bet means you can place bets after the match has started — odds change with every over, every wicket and every run.
Wicket falls change the odds: If team A loses three quick wickets, their odds of winning lengthen (because their chances fall) while team B's odds shorten. Those who anticipate this shift can bet at better value than the pre-match odds.
Powerplay overs: In T20, fielding restrictions in the first six overs lead to higher scoring. Total runs markets move quickly during this period.
Death overs: In the final five overs, match winner odds move fastest as the run rate changes. The odds of a team chasing a small target become very short by this stage.
Rain interruption: If play stops or the Duckworth-Lewis method is applied, markets may be suspended temporarily — this is normal.
Live betting in Test matches: Over five days, a match's momentum shifts slowly, so odds move slowly too — a relatively lower-pressure experience for new bettors.
Live betting is engaging, but it also brings pressure to make quick decisions. More information on live betting is available in the FAQ section.
Live Betting Signals
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds shorten
- A big partnership shifts odds quickly
- A large first-innings score affects odds on the second day of a Test
- Rapid scoring against a spinner shifts the over/under market
- Markets may be temporarily suspended due to rain
Multi-Bet and Other Sports — A Brief Introduction
A multi-bet is a method of adding multiple selections to a single bet slip. Take three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90 — multiplying these gives 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). A ৳100 bet would therefore return ৳426, but only if all three selections win — if any one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at 3333bet. Football markets such as half-time and full-time result, number of goals and corners are different from cricket's wicket or over-based markets — so if you want to build a multi-bet across both sports, it is important to understand the rules of each separately.
3333bet also has a dedicated section for boxing betting — you will find details there on match winner, round betting and method-based markets.
The sports betting section of 3333bet Bet has markets for cricket, football and many other sports all in one place.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is one form of entertainment — each bet is for enjoyment only, not as a source of income. The tips below help keep betting under control.
Choose Markets That Match the Format
In T20, total runs and wickets markets move quickly; in Test, match winner markets shift more slowly. Focus on whichever market in whichever format feels clearest to you.
Set a Separate Budget
Set a fixed amount for betting each week or month — once it is gone, place no more bets for that week or month. This is the most practical way to keep betting at the level of entertainment.
Start with Small Stakes
If you are new to live betting or multi-bets, start with small amounts to get familiar with the platform and the markets. As experience grows, it becomes easier to find your preferred markets.
Do Not Rush in In-Play Betting
Odds move fast in live betting, which can create pressure to decide quickly. It is better to pause, assess the situation and then place a bet.
Betting is Entertainment — Not a Way to Earn
No strategy can guarantee a cricket result. Always treat betting as entertainment and do not increase stakes to try to recover losses.
