Cricket Betting at 1xbd — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on Bangladesh's favourite sport at 1xbd. From T20 to Test — a variety of markets, live odds and in-play betting for every format, all in one platform.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket is deeply tied to Bangladesh's national passion. At 1xbd you can bet on three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the approach to betting differs as well.
T20: The fastest format. With a match ending in just 20 overs, odds change quickly. Betting on this format is highest during the BPL and IPL seasons. Activity among bettors is noticeably higher for Tigers matches.
ODI: In this 50-over format, predicting the second team's performance after the innings break is comparatively easier. ODI match betting is popular during the ICC World Cup and bilateral series.
Test: In a five-day match, a draw is a valid result, so there are three markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In this longer format, pitch and weather conditions play an important role.
Among competitions, BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and various ICC tournaments are regularly covered at 1xbd. International series receive equal attention.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is equally active at 1xbd. You can bet on the Premier League, La Liga, or international matches. In football, the odds calculation differs from cricket because it combines 90 minutes of normal time, extra time, and penalty shootouts.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is the length of the match and the number of possible outcomes. In cricket (T20/ODI) there is generally no draw — two outcomes. In football there are three — win, loss, or draw. This difference directly affects how odds are calculated.
There are also opportunities to bet on other sports such as tennis, badminton, or kabaddi. Each sport has its own market structure — some offer only match winner, others have detailed point or set markets.
Beyond cricket, options like slots, live casino, or virtual casino are also available at 1xbd, though on this page we are focusing mainly on sports betting.
Popular Betting Markets
Various types of betting markets are available for cricket matches at 1xbd. A brief introduction to each is given below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match. Example: betting that Team A will win in a match between Team A and Team B.
Simple MarketToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent and either team has an equal chance of winning.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in the innings. Example: choosing the one with the highest odds from three batters in Team A.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Betting on whether the combined total runs of both teams in the match will be more than (over) or less than (under) a specified number.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into one — if all are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds; if one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
Combo MarketMan of the Match
Which player will be awarded best performer of the match — odds in this market are generally higher because there are many contenders.
Award MarketHow to Read Odds
Odds at 1xbd are shown in three formats — Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Team A Odds | Team B Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Working Example 1 — Team A wins:
Say the odds for Team A to win are 2.50 (decimal) = 3/2 (fractional) = +150 (American). With a ৳200 stake, if Team A wins you get back ৳500 — ৳300 profit plus your ৳200 original stake. If they lose, you lose ৳200.
Working Example 2 — Team B (favourite) wins:
Team B's odds are 1.50 (decimal) = 1/2 (fractional) = -200 (American). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. With a ৳200 stake, if Team B wins you get back ৳300 (৳100 profit).
For a multi bet, multiply the odds of all selections together. For example, 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately) — if all three selections are correct, a ৳100 stake returns ৳547; if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called in-play betting. At 1xbd, odds for cricket are updated after every over, so you can make decisions based on how the game is going.
When a wicket falls, the odds for the batting team lengthen — because chasing the target becomes harder. Conversely, when the batting team scores quickly, their odds shorten.
Certain markets are available specifically in live betting — such as how many runs in the next over, when the next wicket will fall, or what a team's score will be at the end of a specific over. Decisions in these markets need to be made quickly.
The BetterLive section at 1xbd has live casino and live sports in one place. It suits those who enjoy both live dealer games and in-play sports betting at the same time.
Keep in mind — in-play betting moves fast, so set your budget in advance and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
A Few Things to Know Before Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income. These tips will help you enjoy betting responsibly.
Set a budget in advance
Set a maximum limit for each day or each week. Do not go beyond that limit, even when you are on a winning streak.
Understand the market before you bet
The match winner market is straightforward, but player-specific markets involve more complex statistics. Start by gaining experience in simpler markets first.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Calculating returns is straightforward with decimal odds — odds × stake = total return.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. If one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
Do not bet on emotion
Betting because you want your favourite team to win and betting based on analysis are two different things. Always treat betting as entertainment.
Take breaks
It is better to take a break after losing a few bets. Placing a large bet to immediately recover a loss generally makes the loss worse.
