8mbet Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
8mbet offers betting on all cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — for fans in Bangladesh, with live odds, multiple markets and fast payments via bKash and Nagad.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own style of betting and its own markets.
Short but Intense
In this 20-over format, every ball counts. Odds shift quickly — a six or a wicket can move the entire market. BPL and IPL keep fans engaged with this format throughout the year.
Fifty-Over Strategy
In a 50-over match, betting opportunities arise across both the batting and bowling innings. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format, with the Bangladesh Tigers competing regularly.
A Game of Patience
In a five-day Test match, a draw is a valid result, so three markets (Team A wins, Team B wins, Draw) run at the same time. Conditions change slowly, but in live betting each session brings new opportunities.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is Bangladesh's most popular franchise tournament. Each season brings intense competition among the top teams and it is the most talked-about tournament among bettors.
With the world's best players taking part in the IPL, the market depth is greater. Both pre-match and live betting are available for every match.
T20 World Cup and ICC events bring together teams from different countries, creating an even wider variety of markets. All these tournaments are available to bet on in one place at 8mbet.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 8mbet also offers betting on football and other sports.
Football Betting
A draw is a common result in football, so the markets differ from cricket. Total Goals, Match Winner and Half-Time Result are the most popular markets in football. You can bet on a range of competitions from international matches to club leagues.
Other Sports
Betting markets are also available for sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Each sport has its own scoring structure, so the markets work differently.
Cricket vs Football
In cricket, odds move quickly in short formats like T20. In football, the pace of change is relatively steady. When a wicket falls or the run rate changes in cricket, live markets shift significantly — similar to the impact of a goal in football.
7 Popular Betting Markets with Examples
Learn how each cricket betting market works and how to place bets.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Team A vs Team B — if the team you pick wins, the bet is successful.
Simple All FormatsToss Winner
Pick which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result does not depend on match performance.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match. You can choose from a list of top batters from both teams.
Skill BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
Predict whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number.
Both Teams Popular in T20Multi Bet
Combine multiple bets together. If all selections win, you receive the full return. If one loses, the entire bet is lost. For example, with multi bet on 8mbet Bet you can place bets on three separate matches at once.
Higher Return Higher RiskRuns Before First Wicket
Bet on how many runs the opening partnership will score before the first wicket falls. This market moves fast in T20.
SpecialHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to one team to level the gap between them. For example, if Team A starts with a 15-run head start, Team B must win by a larger margin.
StrategicA Simple Guide to Understanding Odds in Three Formats
Decimal, Fractional and American — the same odds can be written three different ways.
Odds are displayed differently across betting platforms, but the meaning is the same — they show how much you get back if you win. See the example below:
| Format | Team A wins (৳1,000 bet) | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Returns ৳3,000 if won (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Same result — profit is double the original bet |
| American | +200 | Same result; if lost, the full ৳1,000 is gone |
Now see an example with the favourite. Team B has a higher chance of winning, so the odds are lower:
| Format | Team B wins (৳1,000 bet) | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Returns ৳1,250 if won (৳250 profit) |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Profit is one quarter of the original bet |
| American | -400 | Minus means — you need ৳400 to make ৳100 profit |
Keep in Mind
In American format, "+" means that amount in profit on a ৳100 bet, and "−" means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. The decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the bet amount by the odds to get the total return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change During the Match
Odds update instantly when a wicket falls, an over is completed or the run rate changes.
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. It differs from pre-match betting because the situation changes at every moment.
When a Wicket Falls
If a strong team loses a wicket, the opposing team's odds of winning can jump suddenly. This creates an opportunity to place a new bet at that moment.
As Overs Progress
In the final 10 overs, odds keep shifting depending on how far the team is from their target. If many runs are scored in the powerplay, odds move one way; if big overs remain at the end, they move the other way.
When a Session Changes in Test Cricket
If pitch behaviour changes after the lunch break, odds can shift dramatically in favour of or against the spinners.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping these tips in mind will make the experience better.
-
Understand the format before betting. T20 and Test markets are different. Start with the format you know best. Each format has its own pace.
-
Set a budget in advance. Decide how much money in total you will use for betting. Treat the whole amount as the cost of entertainment.
-
Be careful with multi bets. Multi bets offer higher returns, but if even one selection loses, you lose everything. Start with small bets and follow the responsible betting policy.
-
Pay attention when live betting. Odds change fast, so it is better not to place large bets in a rush. Take a moment to read the situation before acting.
-
Use secure payment methods. You can deposit at 8mbet via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay and bank transfer. Withdrawals are processed within 5–30 minutes.
-
Take breaks. Betting for long stretches without a break is tiring. Taking breaks occasionally leads to better decisions.

In T20, markets shift quickly because the match is short — every over has a big impact. In ODIs, with 50 overs in play, odds stay relatively stable in the middle phase. In Test cricket, since a draw is a valid result, three markets (Team A, Team B, Draw) run simultaneously and conditions can change a great deal over five days.
In a multi bet, all selected matches must win. If even one loses, the entire bet is lost. For example, combining decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70 across three matches gives total odds of 3.81 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all win; but if one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Pre-match betting is placed before the match starts — odds are fixed. Live betting is placed while the match is in progress; odds update instantly after each wicket, boundary or over. There is less time to decide in live betting.
In American odds, "−" means the favourite. The number shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100. For example, −400 means you need to place ৳1,000 to win ৳250 (total return ৳1,250). "+" means the underdog — it shows how much you win on a ৳100 bet.
Match Winner and Total Runs Over/Under are the two most popular markets, especially in T20 format. Top Batsman and Toss Winner are also common choices. In live betting, the total runs market in the powerplay is also widely used.
Cricket betting is entirely for entertainment. No strategy guarantees a profit — outcomes are always uncertain. Play for fun and only bet what you can afford to lose. For more on betting responsibly, visit the responsible gaming page.
