bet side Cricket Betting — all matches from BPL to the T20 World Cup
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and Test series — bet on multiple markets at bet side including match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under. Live in-play odds shift with every wicket and every over.
The formats Bangladeshi cricket fans bet on
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and tactics, so the betting markets differ as well. T20 matches last only a few hours, results come quickly, and live betting stays intense. ODI matches give each team 50 overs to bat and bowl, generating far more markets. Test matches last five days and offer session-based and innings-based markets — a draw is a possible result.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL means the biggest domestic T20 cricket event of the season. IPL is hugely popular here as India's top franchise league. When the Tigers play in the ICC T20 World Cup or ODI World Cup, the whole country comes alive with support. bet side offers a range of markets on matches across all these competitions.
Football betting is also available at bet side — match winner, number of goals and other markets for the Premier League, FIFA World Cup and other leagues. However, cricket offers a different depth and variety of markets compared to football — separate markets for every over, wicket and partnership that are not normally found in football.
Popular markets in cricket and examples
The markets below are generally available for cricket matches at bet side. A brief example is given for each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. No draw in T20 or ODI, so there are two options. Example: choosing Team B in a match between Team A and Team B.
All FormatsToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome depends on the conditions of the ground and pitch. Example: betting that Team A will win the toss.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Example: selecting a specific batsman to be the highest scorer for Team A.
Player MarketTotal Runs — Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific runs line — for example "160 runs". You decide whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or fewer (under) than that line.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combine several selections into one bet. You only get a return if all selections win. Example: picking the winner of three separate matches together — if one loses, the whole bet loses.
Multiple MatchesHandicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual advantage and the stronger team a deficit. This makes the market more evenly split. The result is decided after applying the handicap.
Competitive Market
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
Odds show how much return you get if your bet wins. The same price can be written in three formats. Two practical examples are given below:
| Format | Team A (winner) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Example 1 (Team A wins): A ৳200 bet on Team A returns ৳500 in total — ৳300 profit and ৳200 stake back. If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B favourite): Decimal 1.50 means a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total — ৳100 profit. American minus odds (-200) show that ৳200 is needed to win ৳100.
Odds shift with every wicket — live betting
Live or in-play betting means placing bets in real time while the match is going on. Every wicket, every over and every big shot affects the odds. For example, if the batting team loses wickets quickly, their odds of winning will lengthen — because they are falling behind — and the fielding team's odds will shorten.
If a team's run rate rises after big shots in the powerplay overs, the odds on the "total runs over" market drop. When the target is close in the final overs, both teams' match winner odds move up and down quickly. This dynamic is what sets live betting apart.
When betting on in-play markets in a fast-moving game like cricket, keep in mind — betting is a form of entertainment, not a reliable way to make money. Stay within your budget by following the responsible gaming guidelines.
Practical tips for cricket betting at bet side
-
Set your budget in advance: Decide how much you will bet on each match before you start. Rather than putting a large amount on one bet, spread it across several smaller bets.
-
Understand the market before betting: Multi bets may show a higher return, but the risk is also higher — every selection must win. New bettors can start with simpler markets like match winner.
-
Adjust your approach by format: A market that works well in T20 may behave differently in Test cricket. In Test matches, a "draw" is a real possibility — keep that in mind.
-
Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds change quickly in in-play betting. Instead of making snap decisions while watching the screen, place bets based on your read of how the match is flowing.
-
Read the terms and conditions: Before using a bonus, it is worth reviewing the terms and conditions — especially the wagering requirements.
Three matches, one multi bet
Say you have picked three selections from three separate matches — with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively.
| Selection | Odds |
|---|---|
| Selection 1 | 1.50 |
| Selection 2 | 1.80 |
| Selection 3 | 1.90 |
| Combined Odds | 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 |
A ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all three win. But if one selection loses, the full ৳100 is gone. Multi bets offer a higher return but carry higher risk.
Team names and odds are for illustration only — these are not live odds and do not guarantee any win.

bet side is not only sports betting — bet side Casino also has live casino, baccarat and roulette tables.
