365bet Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to T20 World Cup — bet on every cricket format at 365bet. Put your analysis to work across multiple markets including match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
The first step to understanding cricket betting is having a clear picture of the differences between formats. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so results are decided quickly and odds shift fast. A big six or a wicket in any over can change the course of the entire match, making T20 betting the most fast-moving.
ODI format runs over 50 overs, so the middle phase of an innings becomes very important. How quickly the top-order batsmen are scoring, or how many wickets the bowlers take in the first powerplay — these things are directly reflected in betting markets. Test cricket runs across five days and a draw is a valid result, so there are three separate markets: team A wins / team B wins / draw.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is the most talked-about tournament every season. Betting interest naturally rises during IPL and T20 World Cup as well. ICC bilateral series throughout the year also provide regular betting opportunities.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
In a 90-minute football match there are generally three main outcomes: team A wins, team B wins or a draw. Rather than over-by-over odds changes as in cricket, football markets are more focused on number of goals, corners and cards. Just as a single over can produce a run explosion in T20, a goal in extra time can flip an entire football market.
On the other hand, on the 365bet Bet page you will find markets for many other sports — such as kabaddi, volleyball and e-sports. Each sport has its own timing and scoring system, so the betting markets are structured differently. Because cricket has long innings, live betting runs for much longer than is possible in shorter-format sports.
Popular betting markets in cricket
Seven common markets are briefly explained below. Each example is only to illustrate the concept — these are not live odds or a guarantee of any return.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win the match. T20 has no draw, so there are only two options. Example: team A or team B — pick one.
Simple MarketToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. It is a completely even-chance market, so odds are generally almost equal on both sides.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team? Consider the batting order and pitch conditions before placing your bet.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
The site sets a line — for example, 160 runs. You bet on whether the combined runs across both innings will be above or below that line. Example: if total runs are 165, the 'over' bet wins.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
Combining multiple bets into one. You win only if every selection is correct, but the return is much higher. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Combo BetTop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets? In T20, powerplay bowlers tend to have more opportunity; in Test cricket, spinners can also be significant.
Player MarketFirst Wicket Partnership Runs
How many runs will the opening pair add before the first wicket falls? Pitch pace and the bowling attack influence this market.
PartnershipOdds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American
Odds at 365bet are generally displayed in decimal format, but it is worth understanding fractional and American formats too, as different sites use different methods.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 | Total return including stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 | Profit ratio only |
| American | +200 | -200 | + means profit on 100; − means amount needed to win 100 |
Example 1 — Underdog team A: A ৳200 bet at decimal 3.00 returns ৳600 if it wins (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake); if it loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite team B: Decimal 1.50 means a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 if it wins (৳100 profit). American -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100.
These figures are only to illustrate the formats — they are not live odds or a guarantee of any specific match outcome.
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
Live betting in cricket is the most dynamic because events on the field change the odds from moment to moment. For example, if the batting team scores quickly in the powerplay, their odds of winning shorten (meaning they become the favourite) and the other team's odds lengthen.
Picture a common scenario: team A is batting, 85 runs for 1 wicket after 10 overs — they look more likely to win. But if two wickets fall in the 11th over, the odds can suddenly reverse. This is exactly why T20 live betting moves faster than almost any other sport.
In Test cricket odds shift across five days, so a dominant batting or bowling session can create an opportunity to enter a market. Keep in mind, though — this is a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
Example scorecard (fictional)
After two wickets fell, team A's odds of winning have just moved in the live market — this is how in-play changes happen.
Some practical tips for betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more organised.
- Set a budget first: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend on betting each week or month. Once you reach that limit, take a break for the rest of the period.
- Focus on one market: Getting to know one format or market well is more effective than running many bets at once. Start with the match winner market.
- Live betting demands quick decisions: Odds in in-play markets change fast. Rather than rushing into a decision, focus on the market you already understand well.
- Read the rules: Before placing a bet, take a moment to review the terms and conditions — especially make sure you understand the bonus wagering requirements.
- Treat it as entertainment: Cricket betting is not a guaranteed source of income. Keep it light and pair it with the enjoyment of watching your favourite team play.
- Responsible play matters: If you feel betting is getting out of control, read the responsible gaming guide and seek help if needed.
Multi bet example
Three bets on separate matches — decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80. Combined together:
৳100 stake → ৳459 returned if all win. But if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
