Cricket betting at vip bet365 — bet across all formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
Whether it's T20, ODI or Test — vip bet365 has detailed markets for every match. Bet before the match starts or while it's live — whenever you prefer.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
The first thing to understand about cricket betting is that different formats mean different styles of play, and the markets vary accordingly. vip bet365 offers betting across three main formats.
T20: The most popular format — especially among fans in Bangladesh. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are played in this format. Each team has only 20 overs, so results change quickly and live betting moves fast.
ODI: One Day Internationals — strategy matters more in this 50-over format. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series fall here. Markets around big run innings and wickets are widely discussed.
Test: Five-day cricket — a game of patience. A draw is possible here, so markets show three results (Team A win, Team B win, draw). T20 and ODI have no draw, making their market structure simpler.
BPL draws a huge response in Bangladesh every year. vip bet365 users are also active during IPL, the Asia Cup and major ICC events. Interest rises noticeably when the Bangladesh Tigers play.
Differences in betting across football and other sports
Football Betting
90 MinutesIn football, the match winner market has three results — Team A win, Team B win or draw. A draw is possible here too, as in Test cricket. Half-time score, total goals over/under, first goalscorer — these markets are quite different from cricket.
Cricket vs Football
Key DifferencesIn cricket, odds shift after every over and wicket, which is far more dynamic than football. An 18-run over can move the odds dramatically. In football, odds change comparatively slowly.
Other Sports
Various FormatsTennis, badminton or kabaddi have just two outcomes — no draw. These sports have fewer markets, but live betting offers the chance to bet game by game.
7 popular betting markets — explained simply
Before placing a bet on any market, it is important to understand how it works. Below is a brief explanation of seven markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Two results in T20 or ODI; three in Test (including draw). Example: if you pick Team A and Team A wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result does not depend on what happens on the field — just the two sides of a coin. Simple, straightforward and a quick result.
Top Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. If the batter you select is in form and ends up as the top scorer, your bet is successful.
Total Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the total runs will be above or below a set number (e.g. 160.5). Over means more than that number, under means less. The pitch conditions and teams' batting strength are factors to consider.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Pick results from multiple matches or markets together — all must be correct to win. Example: if you select Team A, Team B and Team A across three matches, all three must win. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Odds are multiplied so potential winnings are higher, but so is the risk.
First Wicket in the Innings
Bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls. The result depends on how strong the opening partnership is. This is particularly popular in T20.
Handicap Betting
To reduce the gap between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage. For example, if Team A is given a 10-run advantage, 10 runs are added to their total when determining the result. This creates more competitive odds.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three formats together
Odds are the language of betting. The same team's chances of winning the same match are written three different ways in three formats. vip bet365 generally uses the decimal format as it is easier to understand.
Example 1 — Team A win, stake ৳500
| Format | How it's written | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If a ৳500 bet wins, the total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If the bet loses, only the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, stake ৳500
| Format | How it's written | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Lower odds = bigger favourite |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | -200 | A ৳200 stake is needed to win ৳100 |
When American minus odds are shown, that indicates a favourite — the number shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳500 stake, total return is ৳750 (৳250 profit).

Odds shift when a wicket falls — live in-play betting
LiveBetting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket, the result can change on every ball, so live markets move quickly.
Say Team A is batting and needs 180 runs. At 80 runs in 10 overs the odds are normal. But if two wickets fall in quick succession and the incoming batter is inexperienced — Team A's odds of winning will lengthen and Team B's will shorten. That is exactly when a new betting opportunity appears.
Run rate per over, score at the end of the powerplay, and the required run rate in the last 10 overs — all these factors affect live odds every minute.
For live betting you need a stable internet connection and the ability to make quick decisions. Using the vip bet365 mobile app lets you access live markets from anywhere. The app is available on both Android and iOS. Visit the vip bet365 App page to find out more.
In-play betting — remember, this is for entertainment. Do not rush into placing bets to recover losses.
What changes in live markets?
- 01 When a new wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning lengthen.
- 02 A big over during the powerplay shortens the chasing team's odds.
- 03 If rain interrupts play, the target changes under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method — which also affects the odds.
- 04 If the required run rate in the last 5 overs exceeds 15, the chasing team's odds keep lengthening.
- 05 When an experienced finisher is at the crease, odds can shift suddenly.
Things to keep in mind before you start betting
-
1
Set your budget first.
Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match. Going beyond your budget in the excitement of winning is a common betting mistake. -
2
Start with a single market.
New users should focus on the match winner market to begin with. Betting on multiple markets at once makes things complicated. -
3
Understand the format before betting.
A team that performs well in T20 may not play the same way in Test cricket. A team's strengths and weaknesses differ by format. -
4
Be careful with multi bets.
Adding more selections increases your potential winnings, but a single wrong selection wipes out the entire bet. More than 3 selections is generally risky for new users. -
5
Treat it as entertainment.
Betting does not guarantee income — enjoy it as part of the game. If you face financial difficulties, you can find guidance on the Responsible Gaming page. -
6
