Cricket Betting at yesbet — place bets on every moment from T20 to Test
yesbet offers a wide range of markets on every match in international cricket including BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup. From match winner to top batsman, live betting to pre-match — everything in one place.
The Cricket Bangladeshis Watch the Most
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the formats, because the pace of play and types of markets differ across each one.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in just 20 overs, so the situation can change with every ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are the most popular tournaments in this format. The T20 World Cup is another major event where Bangladesh supporters follow the Tigers closely.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs. Strategy plays a bigger role here, which means there is more opportunity to analyse the game mid-innings and place informed bets.
Test Cricket is a long contest played over five days. A draw is a possible result, so markets offer three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or the match is drawn. Live betting in Tests is particularly interesting because the situation shifts gradually and you can analyse the game over by over.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, yesbet also offers football betting. Football has a fixed 90-minute duration, and if the match is tied, the result is decided by extra time or a penalty shootout. Just like cricket, football has markets such as match winner, over/under goals, handicap and corner kicks.
The main difference between the two sports is the scoring rate. In cricket, an innings can produce hundreds of runs, which is why markets like total runs and over run lines are specific to cricket. In football, the number of goals is low, so a one- or two-goal difference often decides the match.
If you want to bet on multiple sports at the same time, a multi bet is a good option — odds from separate markets are multiplied together and you need all selections to be correct to win.
Popular Markets and Betting Options
Cricket betting at yesbet offers several types of markets. Each has slightly different characteristics — a brief overview is below.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win. Two options in T20 and ODI (Team A or Team B), three options in Test (Team A, Team B or Draw). The simplest market.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team wins the coin toss before the match. The outcome is entirely independent — pitch conditions or team strength play no role here.
Top Batsman
Select which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. You choose one name from a list of multiple players.
Total Runs Over/Under
A specific run line is set. If you think the total runs will be higher than that line, choose over; if lower, choose under. Example: 160 run line for the first innings.
Multiple Markets Combined
Combining 2–3 selections from different matches or markets multiplies the odds. You win the full return only if all selections are correct — if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
First Wicket Bowler
Select which bowler will take the first wicket in the match. You can factor in the pitch and weather to decide between a pace bowler and a spinner.
Say you place bets on three separate matches with odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90. The combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (rounded). A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 — but only if all three selections are correct. If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds at yesbet are available in three formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Decimal odds are the simplest — the number shows the total return on your bet directly (stake included). Fractional odds come from British horse racing tradition — they show the ratio of profit to stake. American odds are written as a positive (+) or negative (−) number.
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, total return ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Limited-Overs Match Winner
There is no draw in T20 or ODI — so there are only two options.
Team A odds 2.10, Team B odds 1.75. ৳500 on Team B: if Team B wins, return ৳875 (৳375 profit). If Team A wins, ৳500 is lost.
Remember — odds reflect the bookmaker's estimate, not a guarantee. Betting is always for entertainment.

In-Play Betting During the Match
In-play or live betting means you can place bets after a match has started. In cricket, odds shift instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit.
Example: if Team A scores 50 runs in the first 5 overs without losing a wicket, their odds of winning will shorten because they are in a strong position. On the other hand, if 2 wickets fall, Team B's odds will shorten and Team A's odds will lengthen.
In-play betting in Tests is even more strategic — odds adjust with pitch behaviour, weather changes and fading daylight.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start
Betting is a form of entertainment. Making informed decisions makes the experience more enjoyable.
-
Set a budget
Decide on a fixed amount for each match beforehand. Avoid increasing your bets to recover losses. -
Understand one market well
Rather than trying all markets at once, start by focusing on simpler ones like match winner or total runs. -
Adjust your approach by format
T20 and Test markets behave differently. The final overs are very influential in T20; the first session of the day matters most in Test. -
Watch how live odds move
In in-play betting, observe the pattern of odds rather than rushing. Keep yourself from feeling pressured to decide quickly. -
Keep responsible betting in mind
Betting is for entertainment — there is no guaranteed profit. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help you understand your own limits.
Back and Lay Betting
In regular betting you back a team to win. On a betting exchange you can also do the opposite — lay a team, meaning you bet on them not to win.
Back Team A with ৳500 — if Team A wins, ৳400 profit (before commission); if not, ৳500 is lost. Lay Team A against a ৳500 bet — your liability is ৳400 (৳500 × 0.80); if Team A does not win, ৳500 profit (before commission); if they win, you pay ৳400.
Commission applies in exchange betting — keep this in mind when making your decision.
