Cricket betting at bet link — bet on T20, ODI and Test matches across the best markets
From Bangladesh Tigers matches to BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup — bet link offers a wide range of betting markets for every major cricket event. Match winner, toss, top batsman, over runs and many more options, all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket is played in three distinct formats — Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 (T20). Each format has a different style of play, so the nature of the betting markets also differs.
Test cricket is played over five days. A draw is a possible result, so bettors need to consider three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. Pitch conditions, weather and team strength all influence the result.
One Day International (ODI) is a fifty-over game. Each team bats once and the result is usually decided on the same day. International series and the ICC World Cup are held in this format.
Twenty20 (T20) is a fast-paced twenty-over game. BPL in Bangladesh, IPL at the international level, and the T20 World Cup — this is the most popular format. With more twists in less time, the betting markets are also more varied.
BPL — Bangladesh Premier League
T20 FranchiseAs a domestic franchise league, BPL is especially familiar to Bangladeshi fans. The competition comes alive with a mix of local and overseas stars.
IPL
India's Indian Premier League is the most popular T20 tournament in the world. bet link offers the widest range of betting markets for IPL matches.
T20 World Cup
A global event organised by the ICC, in which the Bangladesh Tigers regularly take part.
Betting on football and other sports
Beyond cricket, football is also popular at bet link. From European leagues to international tournaments — football typically has three possible outcomes (Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw), so the odds structure is slightly different from cricket.
In football, the 90-minute result is what matters at the end of a match, whereas in cricket a game can end in a draw after five days, and individual batsman performance creates separate markets of its own.
To explore more betting options, visit the sports section at bet link Bet, where markets for multiple sports are available in one place. Those interested in card games can also check out the live table section at bet link Casino.
The main difference between betting on cricket and football is the depth of markets. Cricket offers separate bets on wickets, overs, partnerships and the toss, among others — a level of variety that football does not match.
Popular betting markets in cricket
Betting on a cricket match is not limited to who will win. bet link offers various types of markets, each with its own strategy and preferences.
Match Winner
Simplest marketWhich of the two teams will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are two options. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team A and they win, the bet is successful.
Toss Betting
50-50 chanceWhich team will win the toss — the probability is split evenly between two outcomes. It is a simple market, though you can still factor in pitch type and the captain's likely decision.
Top Batsman
Individual performanceWhich batsman within a team will score the most runs — this market requires analysing individual form and match situation.
Total Runs Over/Under
Set lineWhether the total runs scored in a specific over or throughout the entire innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: if the line for the first 10 overs is set at 70, you can bet on either over or under.
Multi Bet
Multiple selectionsCombine multiple matches or markets on one slip and bet at the combined odds. Example: if three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximate) — a ৳100 bet returns ৳336, but all three selections must be correct; one wrong pick and the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
Levelling the fieldWhen there is a gap in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a run advantage. Example: if Team A is given a 15-run handicap, they may still come out ahead on the handicap even if they lose on the actual score — results are analysed in terms of the handicap; no specific stake or return is quoted here.
How to read and understand odds
bet link displays three types of odds formats. Each expresses the same probability in a different way — once you understand one, the others are easy to follow.
| Format | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return per ৳1 staked is 2.25 times (profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| Favourite (American) | -400 | A ৳400 stake is required to make a ৳100 profit |
Worked example 1 — all three formats together
Say Team A's win odds are: decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳200 bet returns ৳450 if Team A wins (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake); if they lose, ৳200 is gone.
Worked example 2 — favourite's odds
Team B's win odds: decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). A ৳200 bet returns ৳250 (৳50 profit).
Understanding odds means making better decisions
Whichever format you choose, the calculation is the same. bet link defaults to decimal odds, but this can be changed if needed. To read the rules and conditions carefully, visit the Terms and Conditions page.
Live betting — change your bet while the game is on
Live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because odds shift after every wicket or big six.
Example: if Team A is ahead at the start of the match, their odds will be low. But if three wickets fall during the powerplay, the odds lengthen — betting on Team A at that point offers a higher potential return.
As overs progress, the pressure of the run rate changes. If a big target remains in the final five overs, the line on the total runs over/under market shifts, creating new opportunities.
Live betting calls for quick decisions — knowing the match format and team strengths beforehand makes it easier to read the situation and act.
What happens when a wicket falls?
When a key batsman from the batting side is dismissed, that team's win odds generally lengthen. This creates a new opportunity for those backing the bowling side.
Powerplay effect
Fielding restrictions in the first six overs usually result in more runs being scored. Live over/under markets are active during this period.
Death overs
Batsmen play big shots in the final four or five overs. Match winner and total runs market odds change the most at this stage.
A few practical tips to enjoy betting
Choose your format
T20, ODI and Test each have a different market structure. Start with the format you understand best.
Focus on one market
It is a good idea to begin with simpler markets like match winner or total runs over/under. As you gain experience, you can move on to multi bets or special markets.
Set a budget
Betting is entertainment — it is not a way to earn extra income. Decide how much you will spend per session beforehand and stick to that limit. Read the Responsible Gaming guidelines to learn more about responsible betting.
No rush in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play betting. Take the time to read the situation before making a decision.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher potential returns, but one wrong selection means losing the entire bet. The more selections you add, the greater the risk.
Cricket betting and all other forms of betting are for those aged 21 and above only.
Cricket vs total runs example
There are no draws in limited-overs matches. Team A's odds are 1.80, Team B's odds are 2.00. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit); if Team A wins, ৳500 is lost. This is an illustration for entertainment purposes, not a guarantee of profit.
