Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket's three main formats – T20, ODI and Test – each have a somewhat different style of betting. A T20 match ends in just a few hours, so the situation changes quickly each over and in-play betting is especially popular there. In ODI matches, betting markets expand over the 50-over span, while in Test cricket's five-day game, markets range from match draw to innings runs and more.
Bangladeshi cricket fans are most interested in BPL matches. IPL is also a major draw – multiple matches are held each day of the tournament and betting opportunities open up across various markets. In addition, every Bangladesh Tigers match at the T20 World Cup and ICC events gets special attention here.
At babu88, you can bet on football and other sports in addition to cricket. But where cricket's markets are driven mainly by toss, wickets and run rate, football markets are determined by events like goals, cards and corners – the odds-setting method for the two sports is completely different.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers many types of markets beyond just match win or loss. Here is a brief look at how each of the markets below works.
Pick which team will win the match. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options. Example: if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, you win; if they lose, your bet is gone.
The toss has no connection to the match result – winning or losing the toss is completely separate from the Match Winner market. Bet on whichever team you think will win the toss.
Pick who will score the most runs for a specific team in a given match. This market compares players within one team, so you need to choose one of them.
The bookmaker sets a specific run line; you bet on whether the total runs will be above that number (over) or below it (under). The amount of runs matters here more than the match result.
Three or more bets are combined together on a single bet slip. If all selections win, the odds multiply – for details on how multi bets work with three selections, see the full multi bet rules in the FAQ.
How many total runs will be scored or how many wickets will fall in a specific innings – in these in-play markets, odds shift from moment to moment as the match progresses.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
Betting odds are written in three main ways – decimal, fractional and American. The table below uses one example to explain all three formats.
| Format | If Team A wins (value) | If Team B wins (value) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 – ৳1,000 bet on Team A
Decimal odds of 2.25 means a winning return of ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone. The same odds are 5/4 in fractional and +125 in American.
Example 2 – ৳1,000 bet on Team B
Team B is the favourite, odds 1.80 (fractional 4/5, American -125). A win returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). A negative American odds figure means how much you must stake to win ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting – Change Your Strategy Mid-Match
In-play betting in cricket is the most fast-moving experience. The odds before the match starts are not the same as after the powerplay – every wicket and every boundary directly affects the market.
Say the first team has scored just 35 runs in 6 overs while losing 3 wickets – their odds to win will rise (higher odds means the bookmaker sees their chances as lower). Conversely, the team that has made a good start will see their odds shorten. Tracking these changes live and making betting decisions accordingly is the core of in-play betting.
Keep in mind: in-play betting is fast-paced, but it is for entertainment. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines and enjoy it within your budget.
Football and Other Sports
In addition to cricket, you can bet on football at babu88. Where cricket's main markets revolve around runs and wickets, football's main markets are goals, handicaps and both teams to score. The betting logic differs between the two sports, so it is worth understanding each market separately.
Virtual sports are also available at babu88, where you can bet on simulated matches 24/7. For more details, visit the babu88 Virtual Sports page.
