abc365 Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
abc365 brings cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet on every format of the game. Before the match or while it is in play — understand the odds, markets, and statistics and make your own decisions.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket is more than a sport — in Bangladesh it is woven into people's emotions. abc365 offers betting across three main formats, each moving at its own pace with its own betting approach.
T20: In this 20-overs-per-side format, things change fast. A single over can bring four sixes, or wickets can fall in a collapse — so odds shift with every ball. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL are both played in this format, making T20 betting the most familiar to fans.
ODI: In a fifty-over one-day match, the rhythm of play builds gradually. Strategy changes across the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and the markets can shift accordingly. ICC tournaments and Bangladesh Tigers bilateral series are regularly played in this format.
Test: Betting on a five-day match is the most complex. Pitch behaviour, weather, a batter's patience, and a bowler's consistency all combine to push the result in any direction. A draw is a valid outcome, so there are three possible results to consider.
T20 — BPL and IPL
Fast overs, big shots, and a match that can turn in moments — T20 betting produces the most active markets. BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league and IPL is India's — both are available at abc365.
ODI — The Fifty-Over Contest
ODI betting is popular in ICC tournaments and bilateral series. Markets open separately at different stages of an innings, so there are opportunities to bet throughout the full match.
Test — The Five-Day Challenge
In Test cricket, three results are possible including a draw. The pitch report, toss, and weather all play an important role in betting decisions.
Cricket and Beyond — Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, abc365 also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton, and various international sports. The betting structure for each sport is different.
Football: In a 90-minute match, 1X2 (home win, draw, or away win) is the most familiar market. In ODI and T20 cricket there is no draw, so you choose between just two outcomes — which means odds are structured differently by comparison. Test cricket has three results, making it closer to football's 1X2 structure.
In-play pace: In football, odds shift quickly when a goal is scored. In cricket, odds update after every over or wicket, giving more opportunities to make decisions during live betting. In tennis or badminton, odds move slightly after each point, but a single event does not cause as large a shift as it can in cricket.
For those who want to enjoy casino games alongside betting, abc365 Casino has a large collection of live table games and slots.
Cricket's 7 Popular Markets
These markets are available on every match at abc365. A brief explanation of each is given below.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options; in Test a draw is also possible. The simplest market, suitable for newcomers.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss — this is a completely separate market with no connection to the match result. The odds for both teams are usually roughly equal.
Top Batter
Predict which batter will score the most runs within a given team. Opener versus middle order — understanding the pitch and situation helps when making your pick.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match or innings be above or below a set number — analysing the team's batting strength and pitch behaviour matters for this market.
Top Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. In T20, both death-over bowlers and spinners create opportunities in different situations.
Over of First Wicket
In which over will the first wicket fall — this is a specialty market. If the opening bowler is strong, the odds can shift accordingly.
Multi Bet (Multiple Matches)
Combining selections from multiple matches creates a multi bet. A return is paid only if all selections are correct — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Example: selecting Team A to win three matches multiplies all three odds together to calculate the total return.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
At abc365, odds are shown in three international formats — decimal, fractional, and American. Decimal is the most familiar on Bangladeshi platforms, but all three express the same probability.
Example 1 — Two Evenly Matched Teams
Bet ৳1,000 on Team A to win. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If Team A wins, you receive ৳3,000 — comprising ৳2,000 profit and your ৳1,000 stake back. If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on a Favourite
Bet ৳1,000 on Team B to win. Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If Team B wins, the total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit + ৳1,000 stake).
General rule: the higher the decimal odds, the lower the implied chance of winning — but the return is greater if you do win. Favourites have lower odds, so the return is also lower. For rules relating to betting, read the Terms and Conditions.
Multi bet example:
Three matches with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.90 — combined: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳456 if all selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change as the Game Goes On
Live betting LIVE at abc365 is active from the moment a match begins. In cricket, markets update after every over and every wicket, which is what makes this style of betting distinct.
When a wicket falls: If a team suddenly loses a wicket, their odds to win the match lengthen — meaning the potential return increases — but this happens precisely because their chance of winning is now considered lower.
When the run rate changes: In T20, if a lot of runs come in the powerplay, the over/under line on the total runs market may move to a new level. There is more information available here than in pre-match betting, so decisions can be more informed.
When there is a bowling change: The arrival of a spinner changes the scoring outlook for the batter, and the top bowler market also moves accordingly.
Live betting moves fast — a market may be open for only a few seconds. Enjoy it for entertainment, but play responsibly. Read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
Cricket Betting — 5 Practical Tips
Understand the Format Before Choosing a Market
Betting on the same market in T20 and Test is not straightforward, because the pace and strategy of play are completely different. Start with the format you know best.
Set a Budget
Before each session, decide the maximum you are willing to spend and stick to that limit. Betting is for entertainment, not a tool for recovering losses.
Be Careful Adding Too Many Selections to a Multi Bet
The more selections you add, the lower the chance that all of them will be correct together. A single wrong selection ends the entire bet.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
In-play markets change quickly, but instead of making a fast decision out of impulse, take a moment to observe the pattern of the market.
