fb 88 Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
fb 88 is with you for every major international cricket match, including BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup. Find out everything here about the different markets, straightforward odds, and live in-play betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and How Betting Differs
For fans in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. Before betting on cricket at fb 88, you need to understand the difference between the three formats, because markets and odds work differently in each one.
T20
In a twenty-over match, wickets fall quickly and scores change fast. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are played in this format. Odds shift rapidly over by over, which is why live betting is most popular here.
ODI
Fifty-over matches balance pace and tactics. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format. Odds shift with mid-match momentum swings, creating various opportunities for bettors.
Test
In a five-day match, pitch conditions, weather, and session-by-session performance play a major role. A draw is a possible result here, so three markets are always available — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
How Cricket Differs from Football and Other Sports
In football, only 1–3 goals are typically scored in 90 minutes, and pitch size and weather directly affect the game. In cricket, every ball is a new event — a single wicket or six can change the entire direction of a match. As a result, cricket betting has more markets and live odds update far more frequently. fb 88 also covers other sports like kabaddi and hockey, but cricket has the greatest variety of markets.

Popular Betting Markets with Examples
Several types of markets are available for cricket matches at fb 88. Below is a brief introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match, if Team A is the favourite, their odds will be lower, while Team B's odds will be higher.
All FormatsToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Since the toss is a completely even-odds event, both teams' odds are usually close to each other.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs? This market is approached by looking at the team's batting order and current form.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored in a full innings or a specific number of overs will be above or below a set number.
Scoreline MarketMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. You win only if all selections are correct. Example: pick three BPL matches together to build a multi bet.
Multiple MatchesTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? The type of pitch and the opposition's batting strength play an important role in this market.
Bowling PerformanceHandicap and Target Markets
In a handicap market, the weaker team is given a notional advantage. For example, giving Team A a 10-run handicap means their final score is reduced by 10 runs when determining the result — even without a specific stake or return example, it is clear that this market levels the gap between the two teams.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds at fb 88 are displayed in three formats. If you understand any one of them, you can convert between the others. The table below shows the same value in all three formats — what you get when you place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win.
| Format | Team A Wins | Team B Wins (Favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 | Multiply directly by your stake to get the total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 | Numerator/denominator — numerator is profit, denominator is stake |
| American | +150 | -200 | Plus means profit on ৳100; minus means how much you need to stake to profit ৳100 |
Example 1 — Betting on the Underdog
Odds for Team A to win: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. With a ৳1,000 stake, a win returns ৳2,500 in total (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). A loss means the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on the Favourite
Odds for Team B to win: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. In American format, minus means — you need to stake ৳200 to profit ৳100. With a ৳1,000 stake, a win returns ৳1,500 in total (৳500 profit).
For a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. For example, decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80 combined give odds of approximately 4.32; a ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all win — but if one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is gone. For detailed strategy, see the multi bet section on the Betting Tips page.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Ball
Live betting in cricket is a different experience from any other sport. With a pre-match bet you are locked into the opening odds, but with in-play betting you can place new bets while the match is in progress.
When a wicket falls or a lot of runs come off the powerplay, odds change instantly. Especially in T20 matches, the last five overs can turn quickly, and in-play markets reflect that momentum.
In-Play in Test: After a session ends, pitch deterioration or the arrival of a new ball can shift odds noticeably. In ODI, watch how odds change after the powerplay ends, and in T20, look for shifts after each maiden over.
Practical Tips for Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. The tips below will help keep that experience more structured.
Set a budget
Before each match, decide the maximum amount you will stake and stick to that limit. Treat betting as entertainment — not as a source of income.
Understand one market well
Start by focusing on straightforward markets like Match Winner or Over/Under. Understanding one market well is more effective than placing bets across many markets at once.
Be patient with live betting
Watch a few overs after the match starts. Once you get a feel for how the pitch is behaving, the batters' form, and the bowler's rhythm, making in-play decisions becomes easier.
Keep selections limited in a multi bet
The more selections in a multi bet, the lower the chance that all of them will be correct. A multi bet with two or three selections is the most straightforward approach.
