bg 33 Cricket Betting — Top Markets from BPL, IPL and Test to T20
bg 33 brings cricket, Bangladesh's most popular sport, into a complete betting experience. From Match Winner to live in-play — placing bets across all formats is now straightforward.
The Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the difference between the three main formats. T20 is the shortest and fastest format — each side plays just 20 overs. BPL and IPL are the two most popular tournaments in this format. For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the BPL brings a festive atmosphere every winter.
ODI, or One Day International, gives each side 50 overs. The ICC World Cup is the top event in this format. The T20 World Cup and BPL generate the highest betting interest in Bangladesh.
A Test match is a five-day test of patience. Many more factors influence the result here — pitch type, weather, team form. It is the most complex format for betting, but also the most analysis-driven.
Beyond international matches, the Sports Events page has a full list of local and global sporting events.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football, tennis, and other sports at bg 33. In football, a draw is a valid result, so there are three markets — Home Win, Draw, and Away Win. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI) there is no draw, so markets are limited to two outcomes. In Test cricket, a draw is also a result. Keeping this difference in mind when choosing a betting market is important.
Seven Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
Each market has its own characteristics. Below are the seven most commonly used markets, each with a simple example.
The team that wins the match
A bet on which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — if Team A wins, the bet is successful.
The team that wins the toss
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This has no connection to the match result.
Highest run scorer
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match — available per team or across the full match.
Whether total runs are higher or lower
A bet on whether total runs will be above or below a set number (such as 160.5). If Team A scores 175, the "Over" bet wins.
Betting on multiple matches at once
Choose outcomes from multiple matches and combine them into one bet — if all selections are correct, you receive a multiplied return.
Highest wicket-taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is especially important in a low-scoring match.
Total runs in the first six overs
You can place an Over/Under bet on how many runs a team will score during the Powerplay in a T20 or ODI match.
Odds in Three Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
Betting odds are written in three main ways. The numbers look different but they all express the same probability. bg 33 generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three is useful.
| Format | Odds for Team A | Odds for Team B |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Example 1 (Team A): With a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins the total return is ৳500 — meaning ৳300 profit plus the ৳200 stake back. If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B, the favourite): Team B's odds are 1.50 — a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 if it wins (৳100 profit). In American format, -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 — this is the sign of a favourite.
These numbers are examples only — live odds change with every match.
Multi Bet and Cricket Match Winner — Calculation Examples
Cricket Match Winner (ODI)
In a limited-overs match, Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's odds are 2.00. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins (৳1,000 profit). If Team A wins, the full ৳1,000 is lost. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so the result is directly between two outcomes.
Multi Bet (3 Selections)
Picking decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.90 across three separate matches creates a multi bet with combined odds of: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all three win. If any one loses, the entire bet is lost — a multi bet carries higher risk but also a higher return.
Odds Shift When Wickets Fall — Live In-Play Betting
The advantage of live betting is placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds change with every over and every wicket. As a batting side loses wickets in succession, their chance of winning drops and their odds rise — while the opposing side's odds fall.
For example: if Team A scores 60 runs in the first Powerplay, their odds drop considerably because they are ahead. But if three wickets fall in quick succession, that equation changes rapidly.
Live betting requires focus and the ability to make quick decisions. Because odds move fast, being able to read the momentum of the match makes the betting experience more engaging.
- Keep an eye on the live score — the run rate per over influences betting decisions.
- Find out the pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) beforehand.
- In the death overs (overs 16–20), the likelihood of big shots means odds move quickly.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Choose markets by format: In T20, Total Runs and Top Batsman markets are most active; in Test cricket, Session Result and innings series markets work with a different approach.
- Weather and pitch report: The chance of rain and the nature of the pitch can change how a match plays out. This is especially important in ODI and Test cricket.
- Know the playing XI: If a key batsman or pacer is absent, the odds on related markets will naturally shift.
- Set a budget: Before each session, set a limit for yourself and try not to go beyond it.
- Be careful with multi bets: More selections mean more risk. Starting out, it is better not to have more than 2–3 selections.
- Betting is for entertainment: Cricket betting is purely for entertainment — it is not a source of income. Learn about responsible gaming.
