yesb Cricket Betting – Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Betting on Bangladesh's most popular sport is now easier. From T20 to Test, from the home BPL to the T20 World Cup – yesb has betting markets for cricket across all formats.
Three Cricket Formats and Favourite Tournaments
Understanding the format is important in cricket betting, because the type of game changes how betting situations play out. Bangladeshi fans are mainly interested in three formats – T20, ODI and Test. Each has its own pace and character, and that is reflected in the betting markets too.
T20: A 20-over contest where the match can turn at any moment. T20 offers the fastest live betting experience. BPL and IPL are the most familiar T20 tournaments among online bettors in Bangladesh.
ODI: Fifty-over matches involve more of a mix of strategy and patience. Beyond the T20 World Cup, the ICC ODI World Cup and bilateral series are important here.
Test: In the longest format, played over five days, a draw is a possible result. Test cricket offers distinct opportunities in top batsman, session-based bets and innings-total markets.
Beyond the Bangladesh Tigers' international matches, yesb's betting market coverage expands during BPL and IPL seasons.
T20 and BPL / IPL
The fastest format. Conditions shift every over, so you can stay active in live markets. Local interest peaks during the BPL season.
ODI and International Series
Fifty overs of strategy and skill combined. T20 World Cup, ICC series and bilateral ODIs – betting options are available across all of them.
Test Cricket
In a five-day match, a draw is a valid result. Test betting is a little different, with session markets and innings totals.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
yesb is not limited to cricket – betting markets are available for football, kabaddi and more. But it helps to understand the differences between cricket and football betting.
Football has three possible results: home win, away win and draw. In T20 or ODI cricket, there is generally no draw – one team must win. In Test cricket, however, a draw is a valid result. This fundamental difference directly affects how odds are set.
Cricket has over-level markets (how many runs in the next over, which over a wicket will fall) that are unique to the format – football has fewer such detailed in-play options. Football, on the other hand, has more active goalscorer, corner and card markets.
In a multi bet, you can combine markets from different sports – for example, a cricket match winner and a football result together. Keep in mind that if one selection is wrong in a multi bet, the entire bet is lost.
Popular Betting Markets with Brief Examples
At yesb, there are many types of markets to bet on in cricket matches. Below, seven popular markets are explained with their general use.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win. With only two possible results in T20 and ODI, this is the simplest market. Team A vs Team B – choose one of the two.
Toss Market
Which team will win the toss. This is completely separate from match performance – statistics and form are irrelevant here, it is purely a 50-50 chance.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. If betting within a team, pick the highest scorer from that side; if across the full match, pick one player from either eleven.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will go above (over) or stay below (under) a set number. Pitch conditions and weather are important factors here.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or selections into one bet. If all selections are correct, the return multiplies. However, if any single one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap and Run Line
The stronger team is given an extra run burden to level the contest. If the weaker team receives a handicap, they can win for betting purposes even if the actual margin is small.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
The same probability can be written in three different formats. The table below uses one example to explain all three formats together.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Brief Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 | Stake × Odds = Total Return (including stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 | Profit / Stake ratio |
| American | +150 | -200 | + means profit on ৳100; – means how much you need to stake to profit ৳100 |
Example 1 – Underdog (Team A)
Team A's odds to win: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳200 bet returns ৳500 if Team A wins (৳300 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 – Favourite (Team B)
Team B's odds to win: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds means you need to stake ৳200 to profit ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 total if Team B wins (৳100 profit).
These numbers are for understanding only. In actual betting, odds will differ according to the conditions of each match and market. For more information about betting, visit the yesb Bet page.
Live In-Play Betting – Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
In-play or live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because the situation changes with every wicket, every boundary and at the end of every over.
You can use the yesb App to enjoy live betting from any device.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience smoother. For more detail, read the responsible gaming page.
- Understand the format: The same team can perform differently in T20, ODI and Test. Before picking a betting market, get a basic idea of the format and pitch conditions.
- Focus on one market: Start with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Multi bets are appealing but carry higher risk.
- Set a budget: Decide before each match how much you will bet. If you lose, accept it and do not go beyond your budget.
- Be patient in live betting: Odds change quickly mid-match. Rather than rushing into a decision, take a moment to observe the situation.
- Know your odds format: Decimal, fractional and American are three ways of expressing the same probability. Set your preferred format in your account.
- Betting is entertainment, not income: Treat cricket betting mainly as enjoyment from the game. Placing large bets to recover losses is not a good idea.
