bd345 Cricket Betting — Best Markets and Odds Guide for BPL, T20 and ODI
Every cricket format — from T20 to Test — is available in one place at bd345. From match winner to live in-play, get to know the markets in detail and bet for entertainment.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
T20 is the most popular format among cricket fans in Bangladesh — in these fast-paced matches the markets shift with every over. Interest in betting on bd345 is highest during the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) season, as watching familiar teams play makes decisions feel relatively straightforward.
In the 50-over ODI format the markets become more varied. Total runs, partnerships, bowler performance — these types of markets are more common in ODIs. During IPL and T20 World Cup, the odds on international team matches are particularly interesting.
Test cricket betting is a completely different matter. In a five-day match a draw is a real outcome, so the match winner market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. This three-way market makes the odds calculation more complex than in T20.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, many Bangladeshi users also bet on football at bd345. Football match results are usually presented in a 1-X-2 format (home win, draw, away win) — different from the two-sided market in T20 cricket. Goals markets (over/under 2.5 goals) and scorer markets are quite popular in football.
The main difference in strategy between cricket and football betting is the season and timing. In cricket there are matches every day during BPL or IPL season, while the international football calendar runs to a slightly different rhythm. In both sports, betting is entertainment only — results are never certain.
Markets are also available for tennis, badminton and kabaddi, but cricket always remains the focus for Bangladeshi players. Those who also want to enjoy slots or casino games can take a look at bd345 Casino's game collection.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
The markets below are the most used for cricket matches at bd345. Each works differently — understand them before you bet.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two options (Team A or Team B), making this the easiest market to start with.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss. This is a completely independent event — it has no connection to any other market in the match.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Odds in this market are generally higher because several players are competing.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
Decide whether the total runs in a match will be above or below a set number. For example, in T20, backing 'over 155 runs' means you win if the total score exceeds 155.
Multi Bet
Multiple markets can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return multiplies — but one wrong selection loses the entire bet. A detailed example is given in the odds section below.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual head start (handicap) on paper to level the market. The stronger team must win by more than that margin, otherwise the bet on the handicapped team wins.
Top Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Changing conditions — such as pitch and weather — have a big influence on the result in this market.
Next Over Runs
In live betting a market opens before each over — you must decide quickly how many runs will be scored in the next 6 balls.
How to Read Odds
Odds at bd345 may be shown in three formats. The examples below make each format easy to understand. A multi bet example is also included here.
Decimal · Fractional · American (same price)
For a ৳200 bet on Team A to win, the odds can be written three ways: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Favourite Price
For a bet on Team B to win, the odds are Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100. On a ৳200 bet the total return is ৳250 (৳50 profit).
Multi Bet Example
Selecting three markets together — Decimal 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximately) — means a ৳100 stake returns ৳378 if all three win. But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. The greater the potential return, the greater the risk.
Cricket Match Winner (ODI)
In a limited-overs match there is no draw. Team A's odds are 1.80, Team B's odds are 2.00. A ৳1,000 stake on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins (৳1,000 profit); if Team A wins, ৳1,000 is lost.
The figures above are given as examples only — they are not live odds or a guarantee of any outcome. For more detailed betting guidance, read bd345's betting tips guide.
Wickets and Overs Shift the Odds
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket. Once the match starts, every ball, every wicket and every big shot changes the odds — sometimes within moments.
After a wicket falls, the batting team's win odds may drop immediately, or if the incoming batsman is strong they may not stay down for long. A bowler's maiden over can open new markets where you can bet on 'runs in the powerplay' or 'total in the last 5 overs'.
Quick decisions are needed for this type of bet, so a good internet connection and some prior knowledge of the match are helpful. Live betting is straightforward on bd345's mobile platform. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to keep your betting in check.
Practical Tips for New Bettors
Cricket betting is entertainment — not a source of income. Keeping the points below in mind will make for a better experience.
Start with Simple Markets
Match winner or toss winner — these straightforward markets are a good starting point. Once you understand the simpler markets, move gradually to others.
Set a Budget First
Decide how much you will spend per session before you start, and stick to that limit. It is better not to try to 'chase losses' by placing larger bets after a losing run.
Compare odds
Understand the odds before placing a bet. Decimal 1.25 means a small profit margin — while 2.50 means a possible return of more than double your stake.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets can offer large returns but carry greater risk. Getting every selection right is difficult — keep large multi bets for entertainment rather than using them as your main strategy.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
Odds change fast in in-play markets — be careful about making snap decisions under pressure.
Treat It as Entertainment
Cricket betting is one way to enjoy the game — it is never a reliable source of income. Place every bet for fun.
