Cricket Formats and Competitions — which one to bet on?

T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own pace and character, and the betting markets differ accordingly.

The most popular format for cricket betting is T20. Results shift quickly in just twenty overs, so there are many more live betting opportunities. Cricket fans are most active during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL seasons. Major international tournaments like the T20 World Cup also draw very large betting markets.

In ODI or fifty-over matches the pace of play is a little slower, leaving more room for strategy in total runs and partnership markets. Test cricket runs over five days — a draw is a valid result here, so the nature of betting is completely different. Test betting on the Tigers' international series draws its own level of interest.

Before picking markets for any format, understand the nature of the match. Markets that work well in T20 may not work the same way in Test.

Football and other sports betting

8m football and sports betting markets

Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 8m. In football, three outcomes are possible within ninety minutes — home win, draw or away win. This three-way structure differs from cricket's two-way outcome (win or loss), so the way odds are calculated is different too.

Football has specific markets like goalscorer, number of corners and half-time result that do not exist in cricket. Equally, markets like top batsman or highest innings score are absent from football. That is why it is important to understand the rules and statistics of each sport separately.

Sports like Kabaddi, tennis and badminton are also available in the 8m sports section. Among Bangladeshi bettors, cricket remains the number one choice, especially during BPL and international series.

5 popular betting markets and how they work

Each market calls for a different approach — explained in plain terms below.

Match Winner

Which team wins the match — team A or team B. This is the most straightforward market in T20 and ODI. For example, if team A's odds to win are 2.50, a ৳200 bet returns ৳500 in total if they win (including ৳300 profit).

All Formats

Toss Betting

A bet on who wins the toss before the match starts. Since the outcome is essentially 50-50, the odds are nearly even. It is a simple starting point for making quick decisions.

T20 | ODI | Test

Top Batsman

Which batter scores the most runs in the match or innings. Team form and pitch conditions influence this market. The odds are usually higher, so the potential return is greater too.

Individual Performance

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether the total runs scored in a set number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a specific number — in this market you think about the run count, not the team name. Keep pitch type and weather conditions in mind.

Runs Market

Multi Bet (multiple selections)

A multi bet combines the results of several matches into a single bet. For example, a ৳100 bet with three selections at odds of 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 returns ৳513 if all win — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.

High Risk | High Reward

Over of First Wicket

The market on which over the first wicket falls in an innings is quite popular in Test and ODI. This bet is approached by assessing the strength of the opening partnership and the bowling attack.

Innings Market

How to read odds — examples in three formats

Decimal, fractional and American — three formats that express the same value in three different ways.

Odds Format Team A (Win) Team B (Favourite) What does it mean?
Decimal 2.50 1.80 Total return = stake × odds
Fractional 3/2 4/5 ৳3 profit on every ৳2 stake (3/2)
American +150 −125 + means profit on a ৳100 stake; − means how much you need to stake to win ৳100

Example 1 (Team A, ৳200 stake): Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If you win, you get a total of ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake); if you lose, ৳200 is gone.

Example 2 (Team B favourite, ৳200 stake): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125. If you win, you get ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 original stake).

2.50 Team A's decimal odds
৳500 Total return on a ৳200 stake
1.80 Team B (favourite) odds

Decimal odds are most commonly used in cricket betting. Mixing the three formats can cause confusion — so make sure you confirm which format is shown on the platform. To learn the rules around betting, read our Terms & Conditions page.

Live In-Play Betting — the excitement of betting mid-match

One of the most engaging cricket experiences is placing live bets while the match is in progress. Odds shift with every wicket, every boundary, and at the end of each powerplay — and making decisions at those moments is what in-play betting is all about.

Say Team A has scored only 50 runs and lost 3 wickets after 8 overs in a T20 match. At that point, Team B's odds will shorten and Team A's will lengthen. If you think Team A will make a comeback, placing a bet on them now reflects that view.

One thing to keep in mind with live betting — odds change fast. So if you take too long to decide, you may not get the displayed odds. Betting on total runs or the next wicket market before the final over is also a popular way to do in-play betting.

Practical tips for cricket betting

Enjoy betting as entertainment — keeping the following in mind will make the experience better.

  • Start with one market
    If you're a new bettor, focus on the match winner market first. Placing bets across multiple markets at once makes things complicated.
  • Set a budget in advance
    Decide how much you'll stake per session beforehand and don't go beyond it. Chasing losses in a hurry rarely ends well.
  • Pick markets that suit the format
    In T20, total sixes or powerplay runs markets work well. In Test cricket, innings result or end-of-day score markets are a different kind of interest.
  • Watch the pitch and weather
    Analysing the pitch type, weather, and each team's recent form makes it easier to understand the markets.
  • Be careful with multi bets
    Multi bets offer higher rewards — but one loss wipes it all out. Including more than three selections together increases the risk considerably.
  • Betting is entertainment, not income
    Cricket betting is for enjoyment — not as a guaranteed source of income. Never bet with money you can't afford to lose.

Cricket Betting FAQ

T20 matches finish quickly and results are usually known the same day. That makes T20 a convenient starting point for new bettors. The markets are also relatively straightforward — you can begin with match winner or toss.

In cricket, every ball brings new information — a wicket, a boundary, a wide or a run-out. Based on that information, the bookmaker instantly reassesses each team's chances of winning and updates the odds. That is why quick decisions matter in live betting.

No. A multi bet can include selections from different matches or even different sports. However, each selection must be independent — two selections from the same match that depend on each other (such as team A wins and team A top scorer) are generally not accepted in a multi bet.

If a match is abandoned or the scheduled overs are not completed, bets are generally voided and the original stake is refunded. However, if the match is completed using the DLS method, the result may be considered valid. Read 8m's terms and conditions for the specific rules.

In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage. For example, giving the stronger team a -1.5 run handicap means they must win by 2 runs or more for the bet to win. This market makes one-sided matches more interesting.
