8mbets Cricket Betting – Top Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on every cricket format from T20 to Test. With live in-play, multiple markets and straightforward payment options, cricket betting at 8mbets is simple and transparent.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it is passion. At 8mbets you can bet across three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and tactics, giving the betting experience a different character.
T20: The fastest format. Results are decided in just twenty overs, so the situation can turn in an instant. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are both played in this format, and these two tournaments draw the most interest from Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: The fifty-over one-day match is a game that requires some patience. ODI matches are played regularly in ICC World Cups and bilateral series. Each ODI featuring the Tigers offers a good range of betting markets.
Test: Betting on five-day Test cricket is more like long-term planning. Innings results, session-based bets and Top Wicket-Taker markets set Test betting apart.
8mbets also offers betting on international tournaments such as the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, 8mbets also offers betting on football. Bangladeshi fans' interest in European club football, international tournaments and Asian competitions has been growing over time.
There is a noticeable difference between betting on cricket and football. In cricket, things like wickets, run rates and partnerships shift the markets repeatedly. In football, a goal or red card shakes the market at a specific moment, but it does not happen as often as wickets do. As a result, live betting strategy differs between the two sports.
Betting is available on other sports as well. Regardless of the sport, the core principle is the same — it is for entertainment, not a guaranteed source of income.

Popular Betting Markets
Cricket matches offer a range of markets to bet on. The most common ones are briefly outlined below.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest and most popular market. Bet on your preferred team between Team A and Team B. If correct, you receive a return at the set odds.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. In cricket the toss can have a significant impact, especially depending on pitch conditions. This market is settled before the match begins.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Pick any batsman from your chosen team — if they score the highest, you win.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in a match will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. For example — will Team A and Team B together score more than 320 runs?
Multi Bet
Combine the results of multiple matches into a single bet slip. If all selections are correct you receive a larger return, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Player Performance
A market on how many runs a specific player will score or how many wickets they will take. For example — will a bowler take more than three wickets? This market is particularly popular among experienced bettors.
A Simple Way to Read Odds
Odds are written in three main formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. The examples below explain the difference.
| Format | Example 1 (Team A) | Example 2 (Team B) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳1,000 stake)
Decimal 2.25, Fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three formats express the same odds. With a ৳1,000 stake, if Team A wins you receive a total return of ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if Team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Bet on Team B to win (Favourite)
Decimal 1.80, Fractional 4/5, American −125. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to win 100. With a ৳1,000 stake, if Team B wins you receive ৳1,800 back (৳800 profit).
How do you read odds?
- Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return.
- Fractional odds follow the British tradition — 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked.
- American + odds show profit on a 100 stake; − odds show how much you need to stake to win 100.
- Lower odds mean a more likely winner, but a smaller return.
Live In-Play Betting LIVE
Markets stay active during a match on 8mbets' live betting feature. When a wicket falls the odds change, as overs progress the run-rate pressure increases, and prices across various markets move up and down accordingly.
Suppose in a T20 match Team B has lost 5 wickets in 15 overs. At that point Team A's odds of winning will have dropped considerably because Team B has been weakened. At exactly that moment you have the option to place a new bet or cancel an existing one.
In Test matches you can do in-play betting session by session. If the pitch is damp in the morning session, bowlers have the advantage; in the afternoon batsmen tend to do better — these shifts are reflected directly in the markets.
Live betting moves fast. Set your own limits before making decisions and follow responsible betting practices.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start
-
Set a budget first. Before each session, decide the maximum amount you are willing to stake. Do not go beyond that limit.
-
Focus on one or two markets. Rather than trying to bet on every type of market at once, build your comfort with the markets you know.
-
Choose markets that match the format. The Toss market may be more relevant in T20. Session-based markets in Test offer a different experience.
-
Do not rush in live betting. In-play markets change quickly. Make decisions with a clear head rather than placing large bets on impulse.
-
Be careful with multi bets. In a three-selection multi bet (odds 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78), a ৳100 stake returns ৳378 if all are correct, but if even one is wrong the full ৳100 is lost.
-
Betting is entertainment, not a profession. Take wins and losses in your stride. Betting should never be seen as a reliable source of income.
