fb 7 Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, T20 World Cup and More
Cricket is Bangladesh's most loved sport. Join multiple betting markets on BPL, IPL, international T20 and Test matches at fb 7 — from live odds to final match results.
Three cricket formats and tournaments popular in Bangladesh
Before betting, it is important to understand the different cricket formats — each has its own style of play, duration, and betting opportunities.
T20 Match
Just 20 overs per side, with matches usually finishing within three to four hours. Runs change quickly, so live odds shift fast too. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are the biggest events in this format. It is the most familiar format for Bangladesh fans.
One-Day Match (ODI)
50 overs per side, played during the day or under floodlights. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. With more time in a match, there is an opportunity to adjust betting strategy based on the score mid-way through.
Test Cricket
A five-day contest with two innings per side. A draw is possible in Test cricket, so more markets are available. Pitch conditions, weather, and pitch reports influence betting decisions.
BPL, IPL and the International Stage
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) excites domestic cricket fans every year. Bangladeshi bettors also show the most interest in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the ICC T20 World Cup.
fb 7 lets you bet on these tournaments — from Match Winner to runs in a specific over. The same opportunities are available for Bangladesh Tigers international matches.

Differences in betting on football and other sports
At fb 7, you can bet on football as well as cricket. In football's Match Winner market there are usually three outcomes — home win, away win, or draw. In cricket ODI or T20 there is no draw, so the market structure is different.
In football, markets like goal line, number of corners, and half-time score are popular. In cricket, you find more markets based on number of wickets, runs in a specific over, or player performance.
Other sports — such as kabaddi or tennis — are available depending on the event. However, cricket remains by far the most in-demand sport among Bangladeshi users.

Five popular cricket betting markets at fb 7
Understanding how to bet in each market makes betting more structured. A common example for each market is given below.
Match Winner
A bet on which of two teams will win. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, you choose Team B — if Team B wins, your bet pays out.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. This is entirely based on chance. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, you choose Team A for the toss — if Team A wins the toss, your bet wins.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings or the full match. Example: who will score the highest for Team A — pick the right batsman and your bet wins.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or a full match will be over or under a set number. Example: the total runs line is set at 160 — if you think runs will exceed 160, bet on Over.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections win, the return is large, but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: place a multi bet with three selections across three matches — get all three right and the return is big.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Formats
The same team's odds can be written in three different ways — all three mean the same outcome, only the presentation differs.
| Format | Team A (Example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Underdog team: Team A to win, bet ৳1,000. Odds: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite team: Team B to win, bet ৳1,000. Odds: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (minus odds means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit). If Team B wins, total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Multi Bet Calculation — Betting on Three Matches Together
Combining three selections — odds 1.40, 1.50, and 1.90 — in a multi bet gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three selections win. But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone — that is the risk in a multi bet.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When Wickets Fall
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds update automatically after every ball, every wicket, and every boundary.
For example, if Team A loses three wickets in the first 5 overs, their odds to win will lengthen considerably as the situation becomes difficult. Conversely, if Team A scores 100 runs in the first 10 overs, their odds to win will shorten.
In Test matches, pitch conditions, the type of wicket, and the quality of daylight are all reflected in live odds. In T20, if the batting side scores heavily in the powerplay overs, their odds strengthen.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Using the fb 7 app makes it convenient to view live odds and place bets from anywhere.
Powerplay Overs
The ratio of runs to wickets in the first 6 overs sets the pace of the match.
Death Overs
If the batting side has wickets in hand in the final five overs, odds fall quickly.
Weather and Pitch
If overs are reduced, the run-rate target changes and live odds are recalculated.
Things to keep in mind when betting on cricket
Set a budget first
Decide in advance how much you will bet on each match. Betting is a form of entertainment — repeatedly increasing your stake to recover losses is not advisable. Read the fb 7 Responsible Gaming page to learn more about responsible betting.
Choose markets based on the format
For T20, Match Winner or Total Runs markets tend to be more suitable. For Test cricket, session-by-session bets or wicket markets provide more information. Picking a market without understanding the format can lead to confusion.
Understand what the odds mean clearly
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. Higher odds mean a larger potential return, but the probability of that outcome is lower.
Be careful with multi bets
Adding more selections to a multi bet increases the return, but losing even one means losing everything. More selections means more risk — it is sensible to stick to two or three selections when starting out.
Read the rules and terms
Before you start betting, read fb 7's terms and conditions. In particular, make sure you have a clear understanding of bonus requirements and withdrawal rules.
