vip bit Cricket Betting — the best betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh
From match winner to over-by-over live betting — put your analysis to work at every moment of the game. Bet on all three formats at vip bit: T20, ODI and Test.
Cricket's three formats and favourite tournaments
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the formats. In T20, the situation can change with every ball — a single wicket can move the odds. ODI lets you analyse the match across five sessions, with separate markets for the powerplay and death overs adding extra interest. Test cricket is the biggest test of patience — across five days, the pitch, weather and toss result all have a deep influence on your bet.
In terms of competitions, Bangladesh fans pay the most attention to the BPL — the domestic T20 league where you can follow familiar players' performances directly. There is also huge enthusiasm in the market during the IPL season. The ICC T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy allow comparisons between teams from around the world, with Bangladesh Tigers matches bringing extra excitement.
Odds behave differently across formats. In T20, the team that wins the toss and chooses to field sometimes gets slightly shorter odds. In Test cricket, winning the toss on day one carries much more weight. In ODI, the benchmark is set based on the run rate in the first innings. All three formats are available for betting at vip bit.
Betting characteristics by format
- T20 — fast odds movement, most active in live markets
- ODI — separate markets for powerplay, middle overs and death overs
- Test — pitch and weather analysis is most important
- BPL / IPL — easy to track the form of familiar teams in domestic leagues
Football and other sports betting
Beyond cricket, football betting is also popular among players in Bangladesh. However, the two sports have quite different markets — cricket has toss, wicket and over-based markets that football does not. In football, match winner, both teams to score and handicap markets are more common. The possibility of a draw is an extra factor in football — limited-overs cricket formats generally do not end in draws.
Among other sports, virtual sports and esports markets are also growing. vip bit offers betting on various sports, though the main focus of this page is cricket. If you are interested in card games, Teen Patti betting offers a different kind of fun.
Popular betting markets and how to place a bet
Cricket betting is not limited to one market — you can choose from many types of markets based on your own analysis. Here is an introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
EasiestA straight bet on which of the two teams will win. In a T20 match between Team A and Team B, if you bet on Team A to win, the result is checked at the end of the match.
Toss Winner
Quick resultYou can bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. The result is known within just a few minutes — popular for those who want a fast outcome.
Top Batsman
Skill-basedA market on which player will score the most runs for their team. Analysing the batting order and current form makes it easier to decide in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Pitch analysis requiredThe bookmaker sets a runs threshold — for example, 160. You bet on whether the total runs will be above or below 160. The pitch conditions and the batting side's form need to be taken into account.
Multi Bet
Higher returnsPredictions from multiple matches are combined. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. A detailed example is given in the odds section below.
Man of the Match
High oddsA market on which player will deliver the best performance. With many contenders, the odds are higher — but a correct prediction also brings a good return.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds are displayed in three different formats, but all of them carry the same information — how much you will receive if your bet wins. Below, all three formats are explained using a real example.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | −200 |
Example 1 — Team A (underdog)
Say Team A's odds to win are 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional and +150 in American. If you place a ৳200 bet and Team A wins, your total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite)
Team B is the favourite — odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional and −200 in American. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A ৳200 bet on Team B winning returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest — total return is calculated directly by multiplying the odds by your stake. vip bit displays decimal format by default.
Multi bet example
Three matches with individual decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 — placed together as a multi bet, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three selections win, the total return is ৳479. But if even one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone. A multi bet offers higher returns but also carries higher risk.
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — how live betting works
Live in-play betting lets you place bets in real time while a match is in progress. In cricket, this market is very active — odds are recalculated after every wicket and at the end of every over.
As an example, imagine Team A is batting in the first powerplay and has lost 3 wickets. At that moment, Team A's odds to win will increase significantly (shorter odds for them means longer odds for the opposition). On the other hand, if Team A scores 160 runs without losing a wicket in 20 overs, the task becomes very difficult for Team B in the second innings — and the odds will reflect that.
Live betting markets open and close quickly as scores update, so decisions need to be made fast. vip bit's BeterLive Live section provides live streaming and real-time scores for various sports, which helps when making decisions during live betting.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a guaranteed way to earn money. Keeping a few things in mind, however, can make the experience more structured.
- Set a budget: Before each session, decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose.
- Focus on one format: T20, ODI and Test have different markets. Start by getting comfortable with one before moving to the others.
- Check pitch and weather: Especially for Test and ODI, reading the pre-match report gives you an idea of the pitch conditions.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining multiple selections is appealing, but if one fails you lose everything. Start with fewer selections.
- Think clearly rather than betting on emotion: It is natural to favour your preferred team, but making decisions based on information is better when betting.
- Play responsibly: Treat betting as entertainment only. If you feel you are losing control, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Keep in mind
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Profit is not guaranteed — the outcome of any match is uncertain.
