abcd Cricket Betting — From BPL to T20 World Cup
Follow Bangladesh's favourite sport more closely. abcd offers betting across various markets for BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches.
Which formats and tournaments you can bet on
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different betting experience. T20 matches are fast-paced, with the situation shifting every over, making live betting most active here. ODI's 50-over contest calls for both strategy and patience; markets around total runs or batsmen are more useful here. Test cricket is a five-day contest where a draw is also possible, resulting in a wider variety of markets.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is the closest tournament to home. Beyond the BPL tournament that comes alive at Dhaka's grounds with the Tigers, abcd also offers detailed markets for IPL and the T20 World Cup. ICC-organised international series — from bilateral series to major tournaments — are all covered.
Football and other sports betting are discussed separately below, but since cricket is Bangladesh's national passion, abcd offers the deepest and most varied markets for this sport.

Football and other sports betting
Beyond cricket, football is one of the most popular sports in Bangladesh. At abcd you can also bet on FIFA World Cup, English Premier League and other major European league matches. Football markets are different — a draw is a valid result here, so the match winner market has three options (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw). Markets on number of goals and whether both teams will score are also available.
Cricket typically has two outcomes (win or lose; no draw in ODI and T20), so the odds structure differs from football. In other sports — such as badminton, table tennis or volleyball — markets are generally match winner and set-based, which are relatively straightforward.
Popular betting markets — with simple examples
The markets below are used most often for cricket betting at abcd. A simple example is given alongside each one.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team B will win, so you place a bet on Team B. If Team B wins at the end of the match, you win.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. This has no connection to the final match result — it is a completely separate market. Simple and quick to decide.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter from a team will score the most runs. If the player you pick ends up with the highest score at the end of the innings, you win.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: whether an innings will produce more than 160 runs.
Multi Bet
Place bets on multiple matches or markets at once — if all of them win, the odds are multiplied together. Higher risk but higher return. Detailed examples are given in the odds section below.
Wickets and Overs
You can place live bets during a match — for example, how many runs will be scored in the next over, or who will take the next wicket.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds are displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. abcd generally uses the decimal format, but understanding the others is useful too.
| Format | Team A to win (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × Odds = Total Return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | Bet 100, profit 150 |
Example 1 — same odds in three formats (Team A to win)
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. With a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳500 in total (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (Team B to win)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win 100. A ৳200 bet on Team B returns ৳250 in total (৳50 profit) if they win.
Multi bet example
Three selections — decimal odds 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80. Combined odds: 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 in total — but only if all three selections win. If any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
These are examples only — actual odds always change according to market conditions. Team A / Team B are fictional names used here.
Live Betting — odds change as the match goes on
In-play or live betting is the option to place bets even after a match has started. In cricket this is particularly engaging — every time a wicket falls or an over ends, the odds update automatically.
Say Team A is in a strong position after the first 10 overs — the odds for Team B to win will increase. If three quick wickets fall in the 15th over, the situation reverses and the odds shift accordingly. This rapid movement is what makes live betting appealing.
Keep in mind though — decisions in live betting have to be made very fast. Stay calm and do not go beyond your set budget. Betting is entertainment, not a profession.

Know before you bet — some practical tips
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will stake before each session. Do not cross that limit — whether you win or lose.
Focus on one market to start with
If you are new, start with simple markets like Match Winner or Toss Winner. Trying to understand too many markets at once is difficult.
Understand the odds format
Before placing a bet, check the decimal odds and work out the total possible return. The examples above will help.
Multi bets carry higher risk
Combo bets can return more, but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Keep your stakes lower on multi bets.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds move fast during a match. Make decisions based on the situation, not on impulse.
Treat it as entertainment
Betting is not a source of income — it is entertainment. Follow the rules on the Responsible Gaming page.
