o9bit Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most beloved sport. At o9bit, you can join a wide range of markets — from match winner to in-play bets — on every match in BPL, IPL and international tournaments.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Understanding the formats before getting into cricket betting matters, because each one plays differently and betting markets work differently across them.
T20 is the fastest and most dynamic format — just 20 overs per side, so the result can swing right until the last moment. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, and the T20 World Cup is the most anticipated event of the year for Bangladeshi fans.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each side 50 overs. Batting strategy and mid-over bowling play a big part in shaping betting outcomes. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series attract the most attention in the ODI format.
Test cricket is a five-day game — conditions, pitch state and batsmen's patience are the key factors. A draw is a valid result in Test cricket, so three markets exist: home win, away win and draw. You can also bet on the Tigers' international Test series at o9bit.
Those interested in football or other sports alongside cricket can bet on a range of events throughout the day at virtual sports betting.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
Cricket has no fixed time limit — the pace of a match shifts with innings, wickets and run rate. Football is decided by goals scored within 90 minutes, and draws are common, which is why the match winner market in football usually has three options (home win, draw, away win).
In cricket, T20 and ODI matches cannot end in a draw, but Tests can. This format-based difference matters when choosing a betting market.
In sports like Kabaddi, badminton or basketball, scores change rapidly, so in-play odds shift every moment. In cricket, a single wicket or a big over can turn the entire odds — that is covered in detail in the in-play section below.
Market differences by sport
- Cricket T20/ODI: match winner has only two options (no draw)
- Test Cricket: home win, away win or draw — three markets
- Football: three outcomes in 90 minutes, including added time
- Cricket has top batsman and wicket-based markets that football does not
- All sports: knowing how to read odds makes it easier to understand the value of a bet
7 Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
A simple example for each market is given below. Team A and Team B are used here only to make the concept clear.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options: Team A or Team B.
Simplest MarketToss Winner
Settled before the match starts. Only two options — Team A or Team B. Simple, but odds are usually lower.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a specific team? Pick the top scorer from one side.
Cricket-SpecificTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be above (over) or below (under) a set number? For example, betting over 320 total runs.
Handicap MarketTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? This market is based on bowling performance in the match.
Bowling FocusMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections in one bet. For example, picking Team A, Team B and Team A across three matches — all selections must be correct to get paid.

Innings-Based Specialty Markets
Some markets at o9bit are built specifically for cricket — such as runs in the first over, total wickets in the powerplay, or maximum runs in the last five overs. These markets focus on a specific part of the match, so the result is known before the game ends.
Understanding these markets requires knowing how to read odds — that is explained in the next section. You can find all markets listed at o9bit Bet.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
Betting sites can display the same odds in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information, just expressed differently.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳500
All three odds mean the same thing. If Team A wins, you get back ৳1,250 in total — ৳750 profit plus your original ৳500. If Team A loses, you lose ৳500. In American format, "+" means the odds are for the underdog — a ৳100 bet returns ৳150 profit.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, bet ৳500
Team B is the favourite so odds are lower. If they win, you get back ৳625 in total — ৳125 profit plus your original ৳500. In American format, "-" means the team is the favourite — you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100.
o9bit generally uses decimal format because it is easier to read — you can see the total return directly. In a multi bet, you multiply the decimal odds of each selection together. Three selections at 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (rounded), meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all are correct — but if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Live In-Play — Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
You can still place bets at o9bit after a match has started — this is called in-play or live betting. In cricket this feature is particularly useful because every ball can create a new situation.
Say Team A is in a strong position after 15 overs with only 3 wickets down in the first innings. Team A's win odds shorten because they are ahead. Then if two wickets fall in the 16th over, the odds can flip completely.
The window to place a bet in in-play is very short, so understanding the markets beforehand helps. Markets like next over total, time of the next wicket, or whether the current run rate will be maintained are available live.

Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
- Choose markets based on format: In T20 and ODI, late-over turnarounds are common. In Test cricket, pitch conditions and weather are the main factors.
- Focus on one market at a time: Start with simpler markets like match winner or toss winner to build experience. Move to more complex markets later.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will put into betting this week — and do not go beyond that. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
- Compare odds: Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Rather than placing a large bet at low odds, place smaller bets and gain experience.
- Bet responsibly: Betting is not an investment. Winning and losing are both equally normal. Find more guidance on the responsible gaming page.
- Be careful with multi bets: In a three-selection multi bet, one wrong pick loses the entire bet. More selections means more risk.
