8m bate Cricket Betting — bet on T20, ODI and Test your own way
From BPL to the T20 World Cup — enjoy Bangladesh's favourite sport even more with 8m bate's cricket betting platform. Understand the markets, read the odds, and make your own calls.
Cricket's three formats and tournaments popular with Bangladeshis
T20
FastA match in this 20-over format wraps up in just three hours. Every ball can directly change the outcome — BPL and IPL are both played in this format. The most active betting markets are found in T20.
ODI
50 OversIn One Day Internationals, each team bats for 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is held in this format. The mix of batting and bowling tactics makes ODI betting quite varied.
Test
Five DaysTest cricket is the longest format — it can last up to five days and a draw is possible. Test matches featuring the Bangladesh Tigers hold special interest for fans. The possibility of a draw means the market types are different too.
BPL and IPL
LeagueThe Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) are the most popular among Bangladeshi viewers. Those interested in team performance and pitch conditions enjoy betting on these leagues.
Cricket vs other sports — what is different about betting?
Football generally has three outcomes — home win, away win, or draw. But in T20 cricket (limited-overs format) there is no draw — one of the two teams wins. This makes the match-winner market simpler, even if the odds are comparatively lower. Test cricket, on the other hand, does have a draw market.
In football, the total number of goals in a match is low, so low-scoring markets are popular, whereas in cricket a single innings can see 200–300 runs. Sports like badminton or kabaddi have set- or point-based markets — each sport's own pace and rules make its betting different too.
Popular cricket betting markets
Each market offers a separate betting opportunity — you can take part in several different markets within a single match.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. The simplest market in T20 — just choose team A or team B.
Toss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random — no prior knowledge helps here.
Top Batter
Who will score the most runs in the match? You pick one batter from the team in this market — it rewards close attention.
Total Runs Over / Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will go above or below a set number — that is what you are betting on. Example: "Will it go above 150 runs?"
Multi Bet
A single bet covering multiple selections — you only get a return if all selections are correct. Example: three selections at 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = combined odds of 5.17.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. A favourite market for those who follow bowling statistics closely.
How to read odds — a guide to three formats
The same price is written in three different ways. Take the odds on team A winning as an example:
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (team A wins): A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,500 if they win — meaning ৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back. If they lose, the ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite, team B wins): Decimal 1.25 / Fractional 1/4 / American -400 (meaning you bet ৳400 to win ৳100). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if they win — a profit of only ৳250.
In-play betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
Live betting lets you place bets while the match is going on. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up right away — because the likely outcome has changed. In the same way, if the chasing team needs a lot of runs in the final overs, their odds go up too.
In-play markets include things like the score at the end of the powerplay, whether there will be a six in the next over, or the partnership after a specific wicket — various markets open up during the match. Because odds update with every ball, you have very little time to decide — so it helps to understand the markets beforehand.
The live markets in the sports betting section at 8m bate update in line with how the match is moving, so you can follow every moment of the game.
Good to know before you start betting — some practical tips
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a way to earn money. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience easier.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
Alongside cricket, 8m bate offers betting on several other popular sports.
Football
Betting is available on matches from the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and Bangladesh Football League. In football, the three simplest markets are match winner, goals over/under, and both teams to score. In-play betting is available here too, just like in cricket.
Other Sports
Betting markets are also available for tennis, badminton, volleyball, and kabaddi. Since each sport has a different format, the markets are different too — so it is worth understanding a market before moving to a new sport.
