Cricket Betting at linebet — Bet on All Matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
From T20 to Test cricket — linebet lets you bet on every format of the game. BPL, IPL, and international matches all in one place, with various markets, straightforward odds, and live betting.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
Before starting cricket betting it is important to understand the three main formats — because the type of bet you can place differs in each one.
T20: The fastest format. With a full innings completed in just 20 overs, the match result can swing at any moment. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL T20 matches generate the most betting activity. BPL is especially popular among Bangladeshi fans because the local players and franchises are familiar faces.
ODI: This 50-over format moves at a slower pace than T20, but tactics matter much more. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in ODI format — it is one of the biggest events in the betting market.
Test: Five-day cricket. Because a draw is possible, there are three outcomes — win, loss, or draw — to account for when betting. Longer-term analysis is more useful here than in T20 or ODI.
linebet also offers betting on the T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, and other international series. Matches involving the Bangladesh Tigers naturally attract the most local interest.
Football and other sports — alongside cricket
After cricket, football is the most followed sport in Bangladesh. Betting markets are quite active for European leagues — the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — as well as the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Champions League.
There is one key difference between cricket and football betting. In football a draw is a common result, so the match winner market has three options (home win, away win, or draw). In limited-overs cricket (T20, ODI) there are no draws, so the market is limited to two outcomes. In Test cricket, the draw option returns.
Beyond these, markets for Kabaddi, Badminton, Tennis, and Esports are also available. Each sport has its own market structure, so experience betting on one sport may not carry over directly to another. Before placing a bet on a new sport, take time to understand that sport's markets and rules.
For more detail on betting, you can check the linebet Bet sports betting guide — it covers the markets for all types of sports separately.

Varied OptionsPopular cricket betting markets
linebet offers several types of markets for cricket betting. Each works differently — understanding them makes it easier to place a bet.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In limited-overs cricket there are two options — Team A or Team B. In Test cricket a draw is a third option. This is the simplest market and a good starting point.
SimplestToss Winner
The result is known before the match starts — which team will win the toss. The odds for both teams in this market are usually almost equal because the toss is entirely down to chance.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Because there are many options in this market, the odds are higher — but more analysis is also required.
Player MarketTotal Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a team's innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: 320 runs over or under. Pitch conditions and team form are important factors here.
Runs-BasedMulti-Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, each set of odds is multiplied together for a larger return — but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. This is a higher-risk bet.
High RiskFirst Wicket Fall
A market on how many runs will be scored or at which over the first wicket will fall — the outcome is decided early in the innings. The opening batting lineup and bowling form need to be taken into account.
Intra-MatchAn example of a multi-bet
Say you place bets on three separate matches. The first selection has odds of 1.40, the second 1.50, and the third 1.90. Combined, the total odds become 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet would return ৳399 if you win — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Odds are written in three ways — understand the difference
linebet displays odds in decimal format by default, but fractional and American formats are also available. All three convey the same information — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win (stake ৳1,000)
If a ৳1,000 bet wins, the total return is ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250 + original stake ৳1,000). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win (stake ৳1,000)
If a ৳1,000 bet wins, the total return is ৳1,800 (profit ৳800). In American format, a negative number means that team is the favourite.
An easy way to remember
- Decimal odds — multiply directly by your stake. Anything above 1.00 means you get some return.
- Fractional odds — stake the denominator, win the numerator as profit. 5/4 means stake 4, win 5.
- American + means — that team is the underdog; stake 100, win the + number as profit.
- American − means — that team is the favourite; you need to stake the − number to win 100.
- All three formats express the same probability for the same match — only the way they are displayed is different.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines — they cover budget management and healthy habits in detail.
Live Betting — odds change during the match
In-play or live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly interesting because odds shift immediately when a wicket falls or a lot of runs are scored in an over.
For example — if Team A is performing well in the first 10 overs, their odds of winning will shorten, meaning that bet becomes less profitable. But if Team B loses wickets in quick succession, Team B's odds may lengthen as Team A's chances of winning increase further.
Keep a few things in mind:
- Odds change fast in live betting — wait a moment too long and the odds you wanted may no longer be available.
- If play is stopped by rain or the Duckworth-Lewis method applies, the rules for your bet may differ — read the rules first.
- The run rate changes during powerplay overs and death overs — over/under markets are especially active during these periods.
- Bet within your time and budget — live betting moves quickly, and making rushed decisions can be harmful.

Some useful tips before you start betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a guaranteed way to earn money. Keeping a few basic points in mind makes for a better experience.
- Set a budget first: Decide in advance how much you will bet each week or month. It is better not to go beyond that limit.
- Understand the market before betting: Before placing a large bet on a new market, test it with a small one first.
- Do not put everything on one bet: Instead of putting all your money on a single match or market, spread it across different ones.
- Use data, not emotion: Your favourite team is not guaranteed to win. Look at the statistics when placing a bet.
- Do not try to quickly recover losses: The urge to place a large bet after a loss to make up for it tends to cause more harm.
- For 21+: All types of betting and casino activities are for persons aged 21 and above only.
