Cricket Betting at 111bet — a complete guide to betting on BPL, IPL and international matches
111bet offers cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet on all major formats and tournaments. From T20 to Test — join in on every moment of every match.
Three formats of cricket and where to bet
Understanding cricket betting starts with knowing the formats. T20 matches finish in a few hours, and market balance can shift with every over. Franchise T20 leagues like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular among bettors in Bangladesh — these tournaments run regularly and offer a wide range of markets.
ODI is a fifty-over contest where the pace of the game is a bit slower but betting variety is greater. Every Bangladesh Tigers match at the ICC World Cup and T20 World Cup becomes a major betting moment. Test cricket is a five-day challenge — draw is a possible result here, so markets work differently. 111bet has both the enjoyment of watching Test cricket from Dhaka and the opportunity to bet on it.
Football and other sports are also available at 111bet. In cricket, toss, batting order and pitch conditions influence markets, while in football markets like number of goals and corner kicks are more common. The sports differ, but the core principle of betting is the same — read the market, set your budget, and treat it as a form of entertainment.
6 commonly used markets in cricket betting
From match winner to over/under — each market works differently. Below are six of the most widely used markets with brief examples.
Match Winner
Choose which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so it is simply Team A or Team B — a straightforward bet. Example: if you think Team B is more likely to win, place your bet there.
Toss Winner
Bet on the toss result before the match starts. Only two possible outcomes, so the market is clear. This market draws attention when pitch and weather make the toss particularly important.
Top Batsman
Which batter in which team will score the most runs — this is a player-based market. Example: if Team A's batting lineup looks strong, bet on their top order.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether total runs in a match or an innings will be above or below a set number. Whether the pitch favours batting is an important consideration.
Multi Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into one combo bet — if all are correct the return is much higher. Example: three selections across three matches at decimal odds 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳479 (if all three are correct).
Man of the Match
Which player will receive the man of the match award — this market generally comes with higher odds. Make your pick based on the likelihood of an all-round performance.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
In betting, odds are a numerical expression of probability. The same price is written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. 111bet typically shows decimal odds, but all three formats may appear on different platforms.
Example 1 — bet on Team A to win (decimal 2.25): If you stake ৳200 and Team A wins, your return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — bet on Team B to win (decimal 1.50): Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower. A ৳200 stake returns ৳300 if Team B wins (৳100 profit). In American format this price is written as −200, meaning you need to stake ৳200 to profit ৳100.
In betting, matching the numbers alone is not enough — it is a form of entertainment. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is important for every bettor.
Cricket Odds vs Football Odds
In cricket ODI or Test, the possibility of a draw means markets are split across three outcomes — match winner, tie and draw. In T20 there is no draw, so the market is limited to two outcomes. In football a draw after 90 minutes is normal, so the 1×2 market means home win, draw or away win.
In cricket, pitch report, weather, player form and toss — these four factors directly influence odds. Knowing them before placing a bet helps you read the market better.
In-Play Betting — markets change with every over
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every wicket and every boundary shifts the odds immediately. If three wickets fall in the powerplay, the batting team's odds rise — and that shift is the main draw of live betting.
When the required run rate climbs in the last five overs of a T20 match, markets move quickly. On 111bet's live platform you can view the scorecard and markets together to make your decisions.

Five habits of smart bettors
Set your budget first: Decide how much you will stake on each match before you start. It is best not to change that limit after a win or a loss.
Focus on one format: T20, ODI and Test each have a different pace and approach. Understanding one format well is more useful than betting across all three at once.
Check pitch and weather: Ground conditions in cricket directly affect odds. On a spin-friendly pitch, the batting team's odds tend to be higher.
Be careful with multi bets: Returns are higher in combo bets, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Think about how many selections you want to combine.
Treat betting as entertainment: Cricket betting is not a way to earn income — it is a way to add more enjoyment to watching a match. Placing more bets to recover lost money is not a good idea.

Football and more alongside cricket
111bet also offers football betting alongside cricket. Audiences in Bangladesh regularly follow European leagues and international matches. In football, match winner, goals over/under and handicap markets are the most common.
In cricket, innings and wickets determine live markets, while in football markets shift quickly after a goal. Live betting on both sports is engaging, but it helps to understand the rhythm of each one.
Casino games offer a different kind of entertainment. 111bet Casino has a wide collection of games from live tables to slots, which is a completely different experience from sports betting.
