Cricket Betting at 222bet — Bet on All Matches from BPL to the T20 World Cup
BPL, IPL, Test series or ICC tournaments — bet on cricket at 222bet with multiple markets, live odds and fast withdrawals on every match.
Betting Across Three Formats — T20, ODI and Test
Each cricket format has a different style of betting. In T20, everything is decided in just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and the situation can turn around with every ball. BPL and the T20 World Cup are always the most talked-about among cricket fans in Bangladesh, as the Tigers' performances attract the most attention here.
In the ODI format, pitch conditions and batting wickets play a major role in the longer 50-over contest. ODI betting is popular during ICC tournaments and bilateral series. Test matches run over five days, so a draw is possible and markets stay open for three outcomes. In IPL and BPL there is no draw — there is only one winner.
222bet covers BPL, IPL, the T20 World Cup, the Asia Cup and international bilateral series. Bet on any format — before each match and while it is in progress.
Betting on Football and Other Sports — How It Differs
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 222bet. In football, the result is decided within 90 minutes and a draw is a valid outcome, so the market is three-way — team A wins, team B wins, or draw. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, but the number of run-based markets is much greater.
In football you can bet on goal scorers, number of corners or the half-time score. The cricket equivalents are top batsman, runs per over or a team's score at the end of a specific over. Live betting is popular in both sports, but in cricket the odds change with every ball — far more frequently than in football.
Betting on Kabaddi, badminton or tennis is also available, though most bettors in Bangladesh focus mainly on cricket and football.

7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Understanding how each market works makes betting much more interesting.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the most straightforward market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so it is simply team A or team B.
Most PopularToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is completely 50/50, so odds are generally close to even.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team? The bettor must choose before the specified innings begins.
Player-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the combined runs of both teams be above the set line (over) or below it (under) — bet against the line.
Run-BasedMulti Bet (Multiple Matches)
Combine predictions from several matches in a single bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply; if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
High RiskPowerplay Runs
Bet on how many runs a team will score in the first 6 overs (the powerplay) — a chance to decide early in the match.
In-PlayHandicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual run advantage (handicap) that is added when determining the win or loss at the end of the match. This market is also available on betting exchanges.
Balanced Odds
Decimal, Fractional and American — Three Types of Odds
The same team's chances of winning the same match can be written in three different ways. These are not different things — they are three expressions of the same value.
Example 1 — Team A wins (bet ৳200)
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Bet × Odds = Total Return |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 wagered |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If team A wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). If team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite (bet ৳200)
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Favourite has lower odds |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 wagered |
| American | -200 | Must bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit |
If team B wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (৳100 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
When betting at 222bet Bet, the decimal format is used most often because it is easy to calculate the total return directly.
Odds Shift the Moment a Wicket Falls — Live In-Play
Live betting in cricket is the most fast-moving because the result of every ball affects the odds. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning increase; when a big six is hit, the odds shorten. As each over ends, the run rate changes and markets update accordingly.
If two wickets fall in the powerplay, scoring pressure builds in the middle overs — this change is reflected directly in the live odds. In the death overs (the last 5 overs), even a small difference can cause large swings in the odds.
A fast connection and the 222bet app are useful for following live in-play betting. The app is available on Android and iOS — see 222bet App for details.
What Changes in Live Betting
- A wicket falling increases the batting team's odds
- A boundary or six pushes the run rate up
- In the final overs, a small difference can cause a large odds swing
- New markets open when the target is revised up or down
- Rain or a pitch change may cause markets to pause temporarily
Several Bets at Once — How Multi Bet Works
In a multi bet, placing three selections from separate matches multiplies the odds together. Say the odds of three selections are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 — the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (rounded). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
On a betting exchange there are two options: BACK and LAY. Say team A's odds are 1.80. BACKing with ৳1,000 gives ৳800 profit before commission if team A wins; if not, ৳1,000 is lost. LAYing means taking the other side of a ৳1,000 backer's stake with a liability of ৳800 — if team A does not win you make ৳1,000; if they do win you pay ৳800.

Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
-
Set your budget first. Before each session, decide the maximum amount you will bet. Staying within that limit keeps betting within entertainment.
-
Focus on one format. T20 or ODI — whichever you watch more, understanding the markets is easier in that format.
-
Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet. Adding more selections reduces the combined probability, so stick to two or three.
-
Consider pitch and weather conditions. On a seaming pitch the bowling team's odds are generally better; on a dry pitch spinners have more influence.
-
Avoid rushing in live betting. Wait for the market to settle after the first over or a quick wicket.
-
Read the rules carefully. Before placing a bet, make sure you are clear on the Terms and Conditions to avoid confusion later.
Responsible Betting
Betting is for entertainment only. Stay within your budget and do not chase losses with more bets.
