Cricket Betting at 8mbets — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, local tournaments to the World Cup — place bets on every cricket format at 8mbets. Deposit using popular payment methods in Bangladesh and enjoy live betting.
Betting on Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Each format has its own character — understanding that before you bet matters.
T20, ODI and Test — Three Different Experiences
T20 is the fastest format — a match can turn on a single six within 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, making it the most popular among fans in Bangladesh. Live betting markets are also most active in T20.
ODI stretches the contest between two sides over 50 overs, with momentum shifting back and forth multiple times. The ICC Cricket World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series are played in ODI format.
Test cricket is a five-day game — a draw is a possible result here, so betting markets are set up differently. Session-based and innings-based bets are also available.
International series featuring the Tigers are covered at 8mbets too, where markets for the T20 World Cup and ICC events are available.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 8mbets. In football, three outcomes are possible in 90 minutes — home win, draw or away win — which makes it fundamentally different from cricket. Various markets are open for major events like Argentina or Brazil matches.
In cricket, results often depend on weather, pitch conditions and over-by-over momentum — in football, a team's form and goalscoring record matter more. Keeping this difference in mind makes betting more enjoyable.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the Responsible Gaming page — it has guidance on setting your own budget and limits.
Popular Markets in Cricket and How to Place Bets
Each market has its own rules. Below is a brief explanation of the 6 most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes; in Test, a draw is also an option. The simplest market — suitable for new bettors.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. The outcome is entirely independent — previous statistics or pitch conditions play no role.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
This market is about which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings. You need to pick the highest run-scorer within the team.
Expert PickTotal Runs Over/Under
Decide whether the runs in a full innings or a specific set of overs will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. For example — whether more than 75 runs will be scored in the first 10 overs.
Active In-PlayMulti Bet
Adding multiple selections to one bet increases the potential return — but all of them must win. If even one loses, the entire bet is gone.
High RiskNext Wicket
In live betting, this market covers when the next wicket will fall or how many total wickets will fall in a session — it changes most frequently during a match.
Live ExclusiveDecimal, Fractional and American — Three Types of Odds
8mbets displays odds in all three formats. Below, the same price is explained in all three forms.
Example 1 — The Same Price in Three Formats
Team A wins, ৳1,000 bet
| Format | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return on bet = bet × odds |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 wagered |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Return if you win: ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the Favourite
Odds for Team B to win
| Format | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | The favourite's odds are always lower |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 wagered |
| American | -400 | The minus sign shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100 |
Return if you win with a ৳1,000 bet: ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Multi Bet Example
With 3 selections in a multi bet, the combined odds are worked out by multiplying them together.
Selection 1 — Decimal 1.40
Selection 2 — Decimal 1.50
Selection 3 — Decimal 1.60
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36
Return on a ৳100 bet: ৳336 — but only if all three win. If one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
The decimal format is the simplest — multiply the odds directly by your stake to get the total return.

In-Play Betting During a Match — New Opportunities Every Over
With in-play betting at 8mbets, you can place bets even after a match has started. When a wicket falls, a big six is hit or the powerplay ends — odds keep changing with every event.
The advantage of live betting is that you can make decisions based on how the match is unfolding. However, since odds change quickly, it is wise to bet carefully and stay within your budget.
Real-Time Odds Updates
Odds update instantly when a wicket falls or the run rate changes.
Over-by-Over Markets
Separate markets are available for each over's runs — giving you the chance to place smaller, focused bets.
Convenient on Mobile
You can place live bets from anywhere using the 8mbets App — no computer needed.
Cash-Out Option
If the match momentum shifts, you can settle a bet you placed earlier — this option is available on selected markets.
Keep a Few Things in Mind Before You Start Betting
Betting is for entertainment — not as a guaranteed way to earn. Following this advice will make the experience more balanced.
Set a Budget
Decide on a fixed monthly or weekly amount that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Understand the Format Before You Bet
Betting markets for T20 and Test are different. Bet on the format you know better.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but if one selection loses, everything is gone. It is better to start with single bets.
Do Not Rush in Live Betting
Odds change fast in-play. Rather than deciding quickly, analyse the market with a clear head.
