Cricket Betting at bd555 — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
bd555's sports betting section keeps you engaged with every moment of cricket. From T20 to Test, BPL to international matches — you'll find a range of markets, straightforward odds, and live betting all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What to Know Before You Bet
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. Every T20 match stays tense until the final over, while the strategy in an ODI or Test can shift across all five days. These three formats are also quite different from a betting perspective.
T20: The most popular format — results change fast in a 20-over match, making live betting especially active here. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL matches in this format attract the most interest from bettors. During the T20 World Cup, bd555's sports section keeps Match Winner, Total Runs, and Toss markets open simultaneously.
ODI: Strategy runs much deeper in a fifty-over match. The first innings score shapes the betting markets in the second innings. Prop markets such as Top Batsman or highest wicket-taker are popular here.
Test: In this five-day format, odds for a draw are available alongside the Match Winner market. Predicting results is more complex than in T20 or ODI, so understanding odds matters more in Test cricket.
| Format | Duration | Popular Markets |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 3–4 hours | Match Winner, Total Runs, Live Betting |
| ODI | 7–8 hours | Top Batsman, Match Winner, Over/Under |
| Test | 5 days | Match Winner, Draw, Series Winner |
Football and Other Sports Betting — How It Differs from Cricket
Alongside cricket, bd555's sports section also lets you bet on football. The key difference in football is that a draw is a separate outcome, so bets are placed across three possible results. In cricket T20 or ODI there is generally no draw, making odds between two teams more straightforward.
In football, the most common markets are handicap (Asian handicap), goals Over/Under, and both teams to score. Where wickets, run-rate, and powerplay scores drive cricket betting markets, goal chances and ball possession play that role in football.
During any major international football tournament or the UEFA Champions League, bd555's in-play betting markets stay active in Dhaka, working much like cricket live betting.
Popular Betting Markets at bd555 — An Explanation of Each Option
In cricket betting you can place bets not only on the match result but also on various prop markets. Below are the seven most common markets in brief.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if Team A wins, a bet placed on Team A in the winner market is successful. The easiest starting point in T20 and ODI.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent — pitch conditions or weather do not influence the toss. Odds are usually nearly equal for both teams.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This is a prop market — it has no connection to which team wins or loses.
Total Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a line (for example, 160 runs). You bet on whether the total runs scored will go above that line (over) or stay below it (under). The team result is not relevant here.
Runs Before First Wicket
An Over/Under bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls. This market depends directly on how the opening batsmen are playing.
Multi Bet
Combining bets from multiple matches on the same slip multiplies the odds together. Example: three selections at 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 — just ৳100 returns ৳408, but if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Series Winner
A bet on which team will win more matches across a full series. Odds are generally higher than match-by-match betting because the uncertainty is also greater.

Odds in Three Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
bd555 displays odds in decimal format by default, as it is the most straightforward for bettors in Bangladesh. However, all three formats are used internationally, so it is worth knowing what each one means.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳1,000:
All three formats look different but mean the same thing. A winning bet returns ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, bet ৳1,000:
American minus odds indicate how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,800 (৳800 profit + ৳1,000 stake).
How Do Odds Increase in a Multi Bet?
Place bets on three separate matches — with odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.70 respectively. Combined: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08. A ৳100 bet returns ৳408 — but if even one selection loses, the entire bet is gone.
Live Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
In-play or live betting lets you experience cricket in a completely new way. At bd555 you can still place bets after the match has started, and odds update after every over.
Say Team A is batting and three wickets fall in the first five overs — their Match Winner odds will lengthen (meaning a higher payout since they are less favoured). Conversely, if Team B bowls well, their odds of winning will shorten.
Markets that change most during live betting:
- Runs in the next over: Which bowler is on and the pitch conditions both determine the odds.
- Next wicket-taker: Odds shift depending on whether a spinner or pacer is bowling.
- Match Winner (updated): If Team A gains the upper hand mid-match, Team B's odds lengthen.
- Run-rate Over/Under: The line shifts as the required run rate rises.
Odds change quickly in live betting. Confirm the latest odds before placing a bet — a bet at outdated odds may not be accepted.
Build Good Habits in Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — it is not a guaranteed source of income. Following bd555's Responsible Gaming Guidelines is important for every bettor.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will bet before each session. Avoid going beyond that limit.
- Build skill in one market: Start by focusing only on Match Winner or Total Runs — betting across too many markets at once increases confusion.
- Compare odds: Compare odds for the same market. Decimal format is the easiest — a higher number means a bigger return, but a lower probability.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds move fast in in-play markets — make decisions with a clear head, not on impulse.
- Do not chase losses with bigger bets: Placing a larger bet after a loss to recover it increases your risk.
- Keep multi bets small: Combining more than three selections multiplies the risk significantly. The chance of all selections winning goes down.
