88fd Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Place bets easily on cricket, the most popular sport in Bangladesh. From T20 to Test — 88fd is always there for you with multiple markets in every format, live betting, and fast payments.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
T20, ODI or Test — the style of betting differs for each format. Knowing which tournament is being played and when makes choosing a market much easier.
T20 — The Fastest Format
T20 betting attracts the most interest because results come within just a few hours. BPL is watched with great enthusiasm across Bangladesh, including in Dhaka, every year. IPL and the T20 World Cup are also particularly popular with Bangladeshi cricket fans. Because the match can turn at any moment in a short innings, live betting stays exciting throughout.
ODI — The Fifty-Over Contest
The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are mainly played in this format. Markets are most common around total runs, wickets and partnerships. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances are always a talking point within the country.
Test — The Five-Day Challenge
In Test cricket the situation changes after every session. Beyond the match winner, there are opportunities to bet on the series result or a draw market. In this format, many betting markets depend on the performance of pace bowlers and spinners.
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the biggest among the domestic T20 tournaments. With familiar local faces and foreign stars combined, match betting is quite lively.
IPL
This Indian T20 league is followed very closely in Bangladesh. When wickets fall in quick succession, odds in the live market shift rapidly.
International Matches
Betting interest is at its highest for every Bangladesh Tigers match at the ICC T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup. The number of markets on these big stages is also much greater.
Football and Other Sports
At 88fd, it's not just cricket — you can also bet on football and several other sports, each with its own style of betting markets.
Football Betting
Just like in cricket, the match winner is the simplest market in football — but here a draw is a separate outcome, so you bet on three possibilities. Total goals, both teams to score or not score, half-time score — these markets are more common in football. For major European leagues and international tournaments, the range of markets is arranged differently from cricket.
Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
In cricket a draw is possible (in Test), so a market may have two or three outcomes. T20 and ODI generally do not end in a draw — making odds calculation comparatively straightforward. In football, if there is no result in 90 minutes the match can be a tie, so three-way betting is the norm.
Other Sports
Kabaddi, tennis or badminton — betting markets are available for these sports too. Once you understand the rules of each sport, the betting markets become much more meaningful.
Popular Betting Markets
You can bet across multiple markets from before a match starts right through to the end. Below is a simple introduction to the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are usually two outcomes — team A or team B. In Test, a draw is also an option.
T20 ODI TestToss
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known quickly and there are two equal possibilities — so odds are generally close to even.
T20 ODITop Batsman
Which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in the innings. The playing eleven and pitch conditions have a strong influence on this market.
All FormatsTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a match or a single innings will be above or below a specified number. Pitch reports and weather conditions directly affect this market.
T20 ODIFirst Wicket Market
At what score the first wicket will fall in the match — this type of market is quite common in T20 betting, especially when there is a higher chance of a long opening partnership.
T20Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Placing multiple markets together on one slip multiplies the odds. Example: if three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70, the combined odds are 3.57 (rounded) — a ৳100 bet returns ৳357, but all three must win.
All SportsHow to Read Odds
There are three types of odds formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Same Odds in Three Formats
Team A to win, stake ৳200:
| Format | Odds | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return = 3× the stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 wagered |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
A ৳200 winning bet returns ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on the Favourite
Team B to win, stake ৳200:
| Format | Odds | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return = 1.8× the stake |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 wagered |
| American | -125 | A stake of ৳125 is needed to make ৳100 profit |
A ৳200 winning bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit). American minus odds indicate a favourite — the chance of winning is higher, so the profit rate is lower.
A Quick Way to Remember
- Decimal odds are the simplest — stake × odds = total return.
- Fractional odds follow the British style — the right number is the stake, the left number is the profit.
- American (+) means underdog, (−) means favourite.
- Decimal is the default on 88fd — you can change the format from settings if needed.

Live Betting LIVE — Bet While the Match Is On
When a wicket falls or the powerplay ends, odds change in an instant — that opportunity is what makes live betting interesting.
How Odds Change
In a T20 match, if team A scores 60 runs in 6 overs, their chances of winning are higher — so team A's odds drop and team B's odds rise. If 3 wickets suddenly fall, the situation reverses. In live betting, there is an opportunity to make a new decision after each of these changes.
Over-by-Over Markets
How many runs will be scored in the next over, whether a wicket will fall on the next ball — these small markets are available in live betting. Decisions need to be made quickly because odds can change within seconds.
Caution with Live Betting
It is better not to rush in a fast-moving market. Enjoy betting within a set budget. For tips on responsible play, our Responsible Gaming page has full details.
Useful Tips for Getting Started with Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping that in mind and following a few simple guidelines will make the experience much better.
- Set a budget first. Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each week and stick to that limit.
- Start with one market. The match winner market is the easiest for new users — it takes no time to understand.
- Understand the format before betting. The same team may perform differently in T20 and Test.
- Be careful with multi bets. The odds do multiply, but a single failed selection loses the entire bet.
- Be patient in live betting. You don't need to make a decision just because odds are changing fast — watch how the match is going.
- Convenient on mobile. You can follow live scores and place bets on the 88fd app on Android and iOS. Learn more on the 88fd app page.
- Treat it as entertainment only. Betting is not a profession — it is a way to add a little extra dimension to the excitement of sport.
- Check your account history. Past history helps you understand your own betting patterns.

What Is a Betting Exchange
Beyond traditional bookmakers, an exchange lets you bet directly against other bettors.
BACK and LAY Markets
There are two roles in an exchange — BACK (betting on a team to win) and LAY (betting that a team will not win).
Example: if you place a ৳1,000 BACK bet on team A at Decimal odds of 1.80, you make ৳800 profit before commission if team A wins, and lose ৳1,000 if they do not. If you LAY team A at the same odds, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80) — if team A does not win you make ৳1,000 profit (before commission); if they do win, you pay ৳800.
A commission is deducted on exchange markets, so net profit is slightly lower. Exchange betting is available on 88fd in the 88fd Bet market.
