Cricket Betting at vp — Top Markets for T20, ODI and Test
From BPL to the T20 World Cup — bet across markets including Match Winner, Top Batsman, and Over/Under in every format. Live in-play odds, easy payments, and support in Bengali.
Three Cricket Formats and Betting Differences
The strategy differs with each format, so the type of bet changes too. vp offers markets across all three formats.
T20 Cricket
Results change quickly in a 20-over match. BPL and IPL are the most popular competitions in this format. Odds shift fast as well, which makes live betting especially attractive here.
Fast ResultsODI Cricket
Mid-innings momentum matters in a 50-over match. ODI betting markets are at their largest during ICC events and bilateral series. Top Batsman and Match Winner markets are particularly useful here.
ICC SeriesTest Cricket
In a five-day match, a draw is a separate result, so you choose from three outcomes. Pitch conditions and weather play a significant role in betting.
Three Outcomes
BPL, IPL and International Tournaments
BPL is naturally the closest tournament to Bangladeshi fans. Local players' performances have a direct impact on the markets. Beyond that, IPL draws huge interest every year, and the ICC T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy bring large markets throughout the season.
If you follow the Bangladesh Tigers, keep an eye on international series too. vp brings together markets for all these tournaments in one place. To learn the betting rules and conditions, see the Terms and Conditions page.
Popular Bet Types in Cricket
A single match can have dozens of markets. Below is a straightforward explanation of the seven most common markets.
Match Winner
Simply pick which team will win. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, Draw).
Simplest BetToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known before play begins, so it settles quickly.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Different odds are offered depending on the team.
Performance BetTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether runs will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. Example: Over/Under 70 runs for Team A in the first 10 overs.
Totals BetHandicap
A virtual run advantage is given to the weaker team to level the bet. Example: if Team A is given +15 runs, the result is determined based on that handicap.
Level Playing FieldMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Pick outcomes from multiple matches together. If you bet on three matches at odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.60, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately); a ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all selections win — but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Higher ReturnsBetting Exchange
In a standard sportsbook you bet against the bookmaker, but on an exchange you bet against other players. If you "lay" Team A, you profit if Team A does not win. A commission is deducted.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Formats
The same price can be written in three ways. The table below uses a real example to explain the differences.
| Format | Team A (Example) | Team B (Favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 | Multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 | Profit / stake ratio |
| American | +150 | -125 | + means profit on a ৳100 bet; − means stake needed to make ৳100 profit |
Worked Example — Team A (Underdog)
Team A to win — Decimal 2.50, Fractional 3/2, American +150. A ৳200 bet returns ৳500 if they win (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake); ৳200 is lost if they lose.
Worked Example — Team B (Favourite)
Team B to win — Decimal 1.80, Fractional 4/5, American -125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if they win (৳160 profit).
Betting is entertainment. Understanding odds does not guarantee a profit — every match result is uncertain. Bet responsibly and read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
In in-play betting, odds are reset after each event during the match. This is the most fast-moving betting experience in cricket.
If an important batsman from the batting side is dismissed, their odds of winning lengthen (probability drops) and the bowling side's odds shorten.
If a lot of runs come in an over, the batting side's odds shorten and the total runs Over/Under market is also reset.
Fielding restrictions during the Powerplay mean different odds apply; in the Death Overs, odds can shift dramatically depending on which batsmen are in.
Odds change quickly and bets can be suspended. Keep your budget in mind rather than making rushed decisions.

Things to Keep in Mind for Cricket Betting
Enjoy betting as entertainment. Keeping the points below in mind will help make the experience more measured.
Stick to a Budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose.
Know One Market Well
Start by focusing on straightforward markets like Match Winner, then move gradually to more complex ones.
Don't Chase Losses
Placing a larger bet to recover a loss is not a good idea. Judge each bet on its own merits.
Take Breaks
Avoid betting continuously — take breaks in between. Enjoy it as entertainment, not as a source of stress.
Football and Other Sports Markets
At vp you can bet on football and other sports alongside cricket. The betting structure differs slightly for each sport.
Like cricket, Match Winner and Over/Under markets are available, but here a draw is relevant in every match. Handicap and "Both Teams to Score" markets are especially popular in football. Check the league table and injury updates before placing a bet.
There is no draw in tennis — just two options. Set-based handicap and total games Over/Under markets are available. Odds differ between singles and doubles events.
With higher scores, Over/Under markets are especially important here. Point spread (handicap) works like the run handicap in cricket, but the margins are much larger.
Cricket vs Other Sports

- Live betting updates every over
