Cricket Betting at bn88 – Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches Your Way
T20, ODI or Test – whatever the format, multiple betting markets are open for every match in bn88's Sports section. You can bet before the match starts or while it is live.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, betting starts with understanding the right format. Each format has a different style of play, so the odds and markets vary as well. bn88 offers betting across three main formats.
T20
The fastest and most popular format. BPL and IPL are both T20 leagues. Each innings is only 20 overs, so the result can change at any moment. T20 is especially popular for live betting.
ODI
A 50-over one-day match for each team. The ICC World Cup and Asia Cup are played in this format. Slightly longer than T20, so mid-game odds change more slowly and there is more room for statistical analysis.
Test
The five-day Test match is cricket's longest format. Because a draw is possible, there are markets for three outcomes – Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. It holds a distinct appeal for patient bettors.
Major Competitions
You can bet on cricket matches year-round at bn88, including BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral international series. Matches featuring the Bangladesh Tigers naturally attract the most attention.
Football and Other Sports
Football betting is also popular at bn88 alongside cricket. You can bet on international tournaments like the Premier League, La Liga or the Europa League. A draw is a common result in football, so the match winner market always has three options – which is different from T20 or ODI cricket.
In cricket there is no draw (in T20/ODI), so odds are split between two teams. In football, odds are spread across three outcomes, so each option can carry relatively higher odds. bn88 also has markets for tennis, badminton and kabaddi, among other sports.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines – because betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
Popular Betting Markets
Multiple markets are open for a single match in bn88's Sports section. Understanding how each market works makes the betting experience much more enjoyable.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Two options in T20 or ODI (Team A / Team B), three in Test (including draw). The simplest market and the one that attracts the most bets.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Odds are generally equal between the two teams – so it is straightforward but the outcome is entirely down to chance.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Batting order and pitch conditions play a big role in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will go above or below a set number. For example, a line like: "Team A scores more than 50 runs in the first powerplay."
Top Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch behaviour and the balance between pace and spin factor into bettors' analysis here.
Multi Bet
Combine several selections from different matches or markets into one slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return is larger. If even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
How to Read Odds
Odds at bn88 are shown in three formats – decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. The two examples below explain the difference.
Example 1 – Team A wins (not the favourite)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Returns 2.25 times the stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit on a ৳4 bet |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Stake ৳200 – if Team A wins, you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 – Team B wins (the favourite)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Returns 1.5 times the stake |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit on a ৳2 bet |
| American | -200 | Stake ৳200 to win ৳100 |
Stake ৳200 – if Team B wins, you get back ৳300 (৳100 profit + original ৳200). American minus odds mean you need to stake more to earn a profit.
In a multi bet, odds are multiplied. For example, three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 give total odds of 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳479 if all selections win. But if even one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
Betting Mid-Match
With bn88's live in-play betting feature, you can place new bets after a match has started. Odds update instantly whenever a wicket falls, an over ends or the powerplay changes.
For example: Team A is playing well through the first 10 overs – Team B's odds have risen as a result. Betting on Team B at this point could mean a higher return. Keep in mind though – live betting moves fast and odds can change in seconds.
You can also live bet on mobile using the bn88 app – both Android APK and iOS versions are available through the official channel. Visit the app page for full details on the bn88 app.

Betting is for entertainment – not a guaranteed way to make money. Keeping a few things in mind will make the experience better.
Set a budget first
Decide how much you are going to bet before you start. Do not go beyond that limit – spending more in the hope of winning is not a good idea.
Don't put everything on one match
Rather than placing all your bets on a single match, splitting into smaller amounts across a few markets makes the experience more varied.
Choose markets based on the format
Multi bets are popular in T20; in Test, odds differ across a three-outcome market that includes a draw. It is better to pick markets suited to the format.
Know the rules
Read bn88's terms and conditions – especially the rules on bonus wagering and withdrawals.
VIP Membership and Cashback
bn88's VIP program has three tiers – Bronze, Silver and Gold. Regular betting moves you up through the tiers over time. Weekly cashback differs by tier – up to 0.4% at Bronze, 0.8% at Silver and 1.2% at Gold. Cashback is calculated on net losses for the week.
For example: a Silver member with a net loss of ৳20,000 in one week receives ৳20,000 × 0.8% = ৳160 cashback. Visit the VIP page to see the full benefits of the bn88 VIP program.
