Cricket's Three Formats and Favourite Tournaments

789bet cricket ground betting market view

Understanding cricket betting starts with the formats. T20 is a twenty-over game — quick results, high scoring potential and odds that shift in an instant, which makes this format especially popular with bettors. ODI fifty-over matches test strategy and patience — partnership breaks and powerplay performance carry weight in betting plans. In Test cricket, played over five days, odds shift gradually based on pitch conditions, weather and the momentum of each innings.

The most familiar tournament for Bangladeshi fans is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). The domestic T20 franchise league produces competitive matchups every season. IPL franchise teams and ICC T20 World Cup international matches are also popular betting events on 789bet. Bangladesh Tigers matches in Test and ODI series consistently draw bettors' attention.

Football and Other Sports

Alongside cricket, 789bet also covers football betting. The Premier League, La Liga and international matches are all available. Because a draw is possible in football, betting markets typically cover three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, and draw. In limited-overs cricket there are no draws, so the odds are split between just two teams. Winner markets are also available for tennis, badminton and volleyball. That said, cricket remains the most familiar and preferred betting sport for Bangladeshi bettors.

Popular Betting Markets and Examples

The markets below are the most commonly used during cricket matches on 789bet. A simple explanation is given for each.

Match Winner

Easiest

Pick the team you think will win from the two sides. In a T20 or ODI match there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B. A straightforward market and the right place for new bettors to start.

Toss Winner

Separate Market

Not related to the main match result. You simply bet on which team will win the toss. The result is known immediately and the odds are usually close to even.

Top Batsman

Performance Bet

Bet on which batter from a given team will score the most runs in a specific innings. Pitch conditions and batting order are relevant factors in this market.

Total Runs Over/Under

Runs Based

The bookmaker sets a specific run line. You decide whether the total runs in an innings will be above that line (over) or below it (under). This market is very active in T20 matches.

Multi Bet

Multiple Selections

You can combine three or more selections into a single bet. If all selections win, the odds multiply to give a larger return — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.

Powerplay Runs

Over-Specific

A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first six overs (the powerplay) only. Early wickets falling — or not — directly affect this market.

How to Read Odds — Three Formats

Odds on a betting platform can be displayed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three say the same thing, just in different forms.

Example 1 — Team A wins, bet ৳1,000:
Decimal odds 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.

Example 2 — Favourite Team B wins, bet ৳1,000:
Decimal odds 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If you win, return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).

Decimal format is the quickest to read — multiply the odds figure by your stake to get the total return. Fractional and American formats are older and traditional, and are still used on some betting sites.

789bet cricket odds format comparison chart
Format Team A (Underdog) Team B (Favourite) How to read
Decimal 3.00 1.80 Stake × Odds = Return
Fractional 2/1 4/5 Profit / Original stake
American +200 -125 + means profit; − means amount needed to win 100

The figures above are for illustration only. Betting is for entertainment — a win is not guaranteed.

Live In-Play Betting LIVE — Odds Shift When Wickets Fall

Betting while a match is in progress — known as in-play or live betting — is especially dynamic in cricket. Odds update instantly after every wicket or big over. For example, if the batting team loses three wickets in the 15th over, the bowling team's odds to win shorten and the batting team's odds lengthen.

Live betting requires quick decisions because odds update every moment. Watching the over-by-over run rate, pitch conditions and bowler form makes live betting easier to follow. On 789bet, live markets move in step with the scoreboard.

Live betting does have limitations — a market may temporarily close if the match result is shifting very quickly. This is normal and the market reopens once the odds stabilise.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting

01
Set your budget first. Decide how much you will stake on each match before you start and do not go beyond that limit. Betting is a form of entertainment — you should not increase your bets to chase losses.
02
Learn one market well. The advice for new bettors is to focus on the match winner market first. Understand the simple market properly before moving to more complex ones like top batsman or powerplay runs.
03
Be careful with multi bets. If three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are roughly 4.59 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all win. But if one selection loses, the entire bet is gone. Multiple selections offer higher returns but also higher risk.
04
Treat the toss market separately. The toss has no bearing on the match result. This market is interesting purely for variety — it is better not to put your main budget on it for important matches.
05
Bet responsibly. If betting is causing you stress, take a break. Reading 789bet's responsible gaming guidelines can help you build safer betting habits.

How a Multi Bet Is Calculated

Say you place a multi bet on three matches in a BPL round — with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 for each. Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = roughly 4.59. A ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all selections win. But if even one fails, the full ৳100 is lost.

The appeal of a multi bet is the chance of a bigger return from a smaller stake. However, every selection must be correct on its own — one wrong pick and the whole bet is done. It is fun as entertainment, but it is better not to put large amounts on it.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cricket Betting

Both tournaments are T20 format, so the main markets are the same — match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under. However, since Bangladeshi bettors are more familiar with domestic players' form in the BPL, they tend to have a better read on team performance. The IPL features more international players, so its markets generally go deeper.

T20 results are known within a few hours and the markets are straightforward, making it the right format for new bettors to start with. Test matches have many variables over five days — pitch changes, weather, batting and bowling conditions — so the markets are a bit more complex to understand.

When something significant happens in the match — such as a wicket falling, a review being taken, or a rain interruption — the platform temporarily suspends the market to recalculate odds. Once the situation settles, the market reopens with updated odds. This is normal and is done to protect bettors.

If there is no full result, most markets are generally voided and the stake is returned. In some markets where the result is determined by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, bets are settled according to that result. For specific rules, check the 789bet terms and conditions page.

In handicap betting, the weaker team is given an artificial advantage — for example, if Team A is given a 20-run handicap, 20 runs are added to Team A's total for betting purposes. In cricket this is known as a run-line or run-spread. What matters here is not just which team won, but by how much after the handicap is applied.
