abc Cricket Betting — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, abc offers a wide range of betting markets from match winner to top batsman. Bet across T20, ODI and Test formats and follow every wicket and over with live in-play odds.
Three Formats of Cricket and Your Favourite Tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is passion. Especially during the BPL season, the excitement spreads from Dhaka's grounds to tea stalls across the country. Put that excitement to use at abc.
T20: The fastest format. Every over and every wicket shifts the odds. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments where betting markets are most active.
ODI: Fifty-over matches offer greater tactical depth. Run rate and partnerships during the middle overs have a big impact on market odds.
Test: Five-day cricket is for patient bettors. Pitch conditions, weather and session-based markets set this format apart.
Alongside cricket, abc also offers betting on football, tennis and other international sports. However, cricket leads in market variety and depth, since over-by-over markets are available here — something not typically found in football.
Popular Betting Markets and Common Examples
The markets below are the most used in abc cricket. Understanding how each market works is the key to enjoying betting.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so you only choose between two outcomes.
Most common marketToss Winner
Who wins the toss before the match starts — the outcome of this market is completely independent. Pitch conditions or team form have no bearing on it.
Settled early in the matchTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Batting order and pitch conditions influence this market.
Skill-based marketTotal Runs Over/Under
abc sets a target, for example 160 runs. If you think the total runs will be above 160, choose "Over"; if you think it will be below, choose "Under".
Over/Under marketTop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets — pitch behaviour and the opposing team's batting lineup play an important role in this market.
Favourite among bowling expertsMulti Bet
Combining multiple bets together multiplies the odds, but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet loses.
High-risk market
Football and Other Sports Markets
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at abc. In football, a draw is a separate outcome, so there are three possibilities in the market — home win, draw, or away win. This differs from cricket's two outcomes and odds calculation works differently too. Set-based markets are available for tennis and other sports.
Just like cricket, some card games also offer the opportunity for strategic betting. In Jacks or Better poker, your own decisions about your hand determine the outcome — strategy matters here just as it does in cricket's top batsman market.
Understanding Odds: Decimal, Fractional and American
All three formats express the probability of the same event — only the way they are written differs. abc generally uses the decimal format, but it is useful to understand the other two as well.
| Format | Team A win odds | Team B win odds | How to read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 | Profit / stake ratio |
| American | +200 | -125 | + means profit on ৳100 staked; - means amount needed to stake to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — Team A wins
Stake ৳500, Team A odds: decimal 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If Team A loses: ৳500 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
If Team B is the favourite, odds are lower — decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American -125 means: you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
To understand the betting rules in detail, read the terms and conditions — it clearly explains how bets are calculated.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Every Ball
In-play betting at abc lets you follow cricket more closely. When a wicket falls during the match, the odds shift immediately. If a strong team suddenly loses two wickets, the opposition's odds shorten — these changes are clearly visible in the live market.
In the last five overs of a T20, the situation changes fast. A big six or a wicket can instantly upset the balance of the market. Understanding this movement is important in in-play betting.
In ODI, over/under market odds update continuously based on the run rate in the middle of an innings. In Test, bowlers' odds rise with pitch wear and fading light at the end of the day.
Live betting is one part of the entertainment — but it is important not to go beyond your budget due to quick decisions. abc always encourages responsible play. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will bet before each session. Stop when you reach that limit.
- Learn one market well: Start with simpler markets like match winner or over/under. Focus on one rather than spreading across many at once.
- Understand the format and conditions: T20 and Test markets work differently. Stay aware of the weather, pitch report and each team's recent form.
- Be careful with multi bets: Higher odds mean higher risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is gone.
- Betting is entertainment, not a profession: Winning streaks do not last, and chasing losses can lead to even greater losses.
- Use the abc App: The abc App lets you view live match odds and place bets from anywhere — available for both Android and iOS.
