Cricket Betting at r888 — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to ODI and Test — r888 is always ready for you to bet on Bangladesh's favourite sport. Each match offers markets including match winner, toss, top batsman, and more.
Three Formats, Three Different Experiences
T20, ODI and Test — each format brings its own strategy and its own appeal.
Twenty20 (T20)
The fastest format — everything is settled in just twenty overs. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the tournaments that generate the most discussion among fans in Bangladesh. The situation changes with every ball, which makes live betting in this format especially engaging.
One Day International (ODI)
Fifty-over matches call for both strategy and endurance. The ODI betting market is quite large for the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series. The chasing team's run rate in the second innings can shift the entire picture.
Test Cricket
This five-day format is a test of patience. Pitch conditions, weather, and squad depth all play a major role here. Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches are always at the centre of discussion.
From BPL and IPL to ICC Tournaments
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league — local and overseas players take the field together. IPL generates excitement across the subcontinent every year. Between the T20 World Cup and various ICC international series, cricket season runs all year round.
You can bet on matches from all these competitions at r888. Markets are also open for international bilateral series. Before each match, markets are available ranging from match winner to innings-based options.
It's not only cricket — r888 also offers betting on football and other sports. In football, a draw is a common outcome in a ninety-minute match, so the market structure differs from cricket by covering three possible results. Tennis and badminton have no draws, so the betting structure there is closer to cricket.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Each market works differently — find out which one suits you.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest and most popular market. For example, in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, you pick Team B. If Team B wins, your bet wins.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss before the match starts — this is a completely fifty-fifty bet. Many people combine the toss and match winner in a multi bet.
Top Batsman
This market is about which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. The main task is picking who will make the highest score for a given team.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will a team's total runs in a set number of overs go above (over) or below (under) a specific number — that is what this market is about. For example, whether Team A will score more than 70 runs in the first ten overs.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into one bet — all selections must be correct for the full bet to win. For example, picking three teams across three separate matches multiplies the odds together for a larger return, but one wrong pick means the entire bet is lost.
Wicket Market
Which bowler will take the first wicket, or how many wickets will fall within a specific number of overs — these special markets add more variety to cricket betting.
Handicap Betting
A handicap is used to reduce the gap between two unevenly matched teams. The weaker team is given an advantage, and if they win even after that advantage is accounted for, the bet wins.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Before placing a bet, it is important to know how to read odds. The same price can be written in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American.
| Format | Team A (if they win) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
Example 1 (Team A wins): Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. On a ৳200 bet — if Team A wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if they lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite Team B): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). On a ৳200 bet, total return is ৳360 (৳160 profit).
LIVE In-Play Betting — During the Match Bet
Odds change as wickets fall or overs turn over — making the right call at the right time is what matters.
With live or in-play betting, you can place bets after the match has already started. In cricket, the situation shifts every over — when a wicket falls, betting odds update immediately. If the batting team scores quickly, their chances of winning increase and odds shorten; when they lose wickets, odds lengthen.
If a team comes under pressure in the middle overs after the powerplay, the odds for their opponents shorten. Pressure on the bowling side in the death overs also affects odds. This constantly shifting situation is what sets in-play betting apart.
Keep in mind though — decisions need to be made fast, so having some knowledge of the match beforehand helps. Betting is for entertainment — enjoy it within a budget you are comfortable with. Learn more about responsible gaming.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start
Betting is for entertainment — play sensibly and stay within your limits.
Understand the Format
T20, ODI and Test each have different rules. Get a clear understanding of which markets are most common in each format before you start.
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you will put on bets each day or each week, and do not go beyond that limit.
Focus on One Market
Rather than betting on every market at once, start by getting to know one market well — for example, begin with just match winner.
Entertainment is the Goal
Betting is for enjoyment — not as a guaranteed source of income. Go in prepared to accept losses.

Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at r888. Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Because of the draw, the odds structure in football differs from cricket and the markets are arranged differently.
Tennis and badminton have no draws — one of the two players always wins, so the betting structure in these sports is split two ways, similar to cricket. Basketball and volleyball involve high scores, so total points markets are more popular there.
