Cricket Betting at hhbd — from BPL to the T20 World Cup
hhbd brings cricket fans in Bangladesh the ability to bet on various markets including match winner, toss and top batsman. You can place bets before the match starts or while the game is in progress.
Three cricket formats and favourite competitions
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. Before betting at hhbd, it helps to understand the formats, as the betting style differs across each one.
Twenty20
Just 20 overs per innings — a game of pace and surprises. BPL and IPL are played in this format, where the situation can change ball by ball. T20 is the most popular format for live betting.
One-Day Match
Strategy matters more in the 50-over format. The ICC World Cup is held in this format, making it especially popular among Bangladeshi fans. Total runs and top batsman markets are popular here.
Test Cricket
A five-day contest — a test of patience and strategy. Betting markets include match draw, innings margin and series result. Odds shift more slowly compared to T20.
Favourite competitions among Bangladeshis
BPL: The Bangladesh Premier League draws huge excitement from local fans every year. It brings local and international stars together on one stage.
IPL: This Indian league is equally popular in Bangladesh. The gathering of the world's best players makes IPL stand out from a betting perspective as well.
International Matches: Betting interest is highest around the Bangladesh Tigers' matches in the ICC T20 World Cup, Asia Cup and bilateral series.
Not just cricket
Football and other sports
At hhbd you can also bet on football, kabaddi and more sports. Football has three possible outcomes including a draw, so markets are built around all three results — in limited-overs cricket, markets generally cover only win or loss.
Popular betting markets in cricket
At hhbd, every match offers the chance to bet across multiple markets. Knowing how each market works makes it easier to choose well.
To understand the rules of betting, take a look at our Terms and Conditions page — all conditions are clearly stated there.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win. For example: if Team A's odds are 2.00, a ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,000 if Team A wins.
Most PopularToss Winner
Which team wins the toss before the match starts — simple and settled quickly. Interest in this market is higher on pitches where the toss matters.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Both types of markets are available — within a specific team or across the entire match.
Skill MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in the match or a specific innings will be over or under a set number. A favourite market for stats-minded bettors.
StatisticsMulti Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. Example: three selections at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳403 if all win.
Combo BetHandicap and Margin
One team is given a head start or deficit to create a more balanced contest. This market is particularly useful when the result is expected to be one-sided.
Balanced MarketHow to read and understand odds
Three common odds formats are used in cricket betting. hhbd generally displays odds in decimal format, but knowing how all three relate to each other is useful wherever you bet.
| Format | Team A (example) | Team B (favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 | Total return including stake; ৳200 × 3.00 = ৳600 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 | Profit ratio only; 2/1 means ৳400 profit on a ৳200 bet |
| American | +200 | -200 | + means profit on a ৳100 bet; − means how much you need to bet to win ৳100 |
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If Team A wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American figure means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳300 (৳100 profit) if Team B wins.
Note: the lower the odds, the more likely that team is considered to win — so the return is lower. Higher odds mean a higher potential return, but also greater risk. Always bet for entertainment.
Live In-Play Betting — bet while the match is on
One of the most engaging aspects of cricket is how the situation shifts as the game unfolds. With hhbd's live betting feature, updated odds are shown during the match and you can place bets in the moment.
When an important wicket falls, the match winner odds for the batting team can drop immediately. Making quick decisions is the main challenge in live betting.
Beyond the match result, you can also bet live on how many runs will be scored in the next over or when the next wicket will fall — these smaller markets are available in-play too.
In the final five overs, one big six or one wicket can change the equation entirely. Live odds reflect that shift right away.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guaranteed way to make a profit. That said, a few good habits can keep the experience enjoyable.
Set a budget beforehand. Decide how much you are willing to bet before you start. Do not go beyond that limit.
Focus on one format or market. Whether it is the pace of T20 or the strategy of ODI, understanding one format well makes it easier to judge markets.
Stay patient in live betting, not emotional. When odds are shifting fast, take a moment to assess the situation rather than rushing.
Keep selections limited in multi bets. The more selections you add, the lower the chance of all winning. Two or three selections are reasonable in most cases.
Bet responsibly. If betting is causing stress, it is better to take a break. Read our Responsible Gaming page for more information.
