Cricket Betting at 33bw — BPL, IPL and International Matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport. At 33bw you can bet on T20, ODI and Test matches across a range of markets — from live in-play betting to multi bets.
Three Cricket Formats and the Top Tournaments
The three formats offer different experiences in cricket betting. T20 is the fastest — results are decided in 20 overs, so odds can shift with every over. BPL and IPL are the most popular T20 competitions, and they attract the most interest from cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI, or One Day International cricket, has 50 overs, which opens up more market variety — you can bet on specific markets like total runs, partnerships, or top batsman. The ODI matches in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments tend to be the most competitive.
Test cricket is a five-day match — a draw is a possible outcome, so odds for all three results (win, loss, draw) are calculated separately. Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches are now covered regularly on 33bw.
Football and Other Sports Alongside Cricket
On 33bw you can bet on football as well as cricket. Football coverage includes international leagues such as the Premier League and La Liga. The main difference between football and cricket betting is in the type of result — draws are common in football, so the three-result (1X2) market is standard. T20 and ODI cricket normally have just two results.
The pace of play is also different. Football is decided in 90 minutes; Test cricket can shift over five days, which means more opportunities in live markets. 33bw's Sports section brings together markets for multiple sports in one place.
For those interested in virtual sports, there is a separate Virtual Sports page where computer-generated matches are available for betting throughout the day.
Popular Markets in Cricket and How They Work
Each market offers a different type of bet. Below are seven common markets with a brief description of each.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win. You choose between two options — Team A or Team B. This is the most straightforward market in T20 and ODI.
T20ODIToss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match. The odds for both options are usually close to even, as it is a 50-50 chance.
All FormatsTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman in a team will score the most runs. Multiple names are listed as options, and the best batsman usually has lower odds.
ODITestTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific line (such as 160 runs). You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above or below that line. Pitch and weather conditions are worth considering.
T20ODIMulti Bet
Multiple markets are combined into a single bet — all selections must be correct to win. The combined odds are higher, but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
ComboRuns Before First Wicket
Bet on how many runs will be scored before the opening partnership is broken — placed on an over/under line. The pitch conditions at the start of the innings play a big role here.
LiveHandicap Betting
A notional advantage is given to the weaker team to offset the difference in strength between the two sides. Even when there is a clear gap on paper, the handicap market makes the contest more balanced.
TestODIHow to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds are written in three formats. The same price is expressed in three ways — only the appearance differs, the calculation is the same.
Worked Example 1 — Team A, Bet ৳200
Decimal 2.25, Fractional 5/4 and American +125 — all three are the same price. A ৳200 bet on Team A winning returns a total of ৳450 (৳250 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Worked Example 2 — Favourite Team B, Bet ৳200
Decimal 1.25, Fractional 1/4, American −400. American minus odds tell you how much you need to bet to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet on Team B winning returns ৳250 (৳50 profit + original ৳200). The profit on a favourite is lower, but the market considers the chance of winning to be higher.
Multi Bet Calculation
You place bets on three separate matches — odds are 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 respectively.
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84
A ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all three are correct.
If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets carry higher risk.
For Responsible Play
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Play within your budget. For more information, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live Betting During a Match — How Odds Change
Live betting, or in-play betting, lets you place bets after a match has started. In cricket, odds update instantly when a wicket falls or after a big over.
Say Team A needs 60 runs off the last 5 overs in a 20-over match. At that point, the odds against Team A will lengthen because the target has become harder. But if two sixes are hit in a row, the odds will shorten again.
There is less time to decide in live markets — so it is better to get a good understanding of the format before taking part. On 33bw's in-play section, odds update over by over.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand the Format Before You Bet
T20, ODI and Test each play differently. The same team may perform differently across the three formats, so it is better not to use information from one format to make decisions in another.
Watch the Pitch and Weather
On a spin-friendly pitch, batsmen are less likely to score big. A rain forecast can affect total runs markets.
Set Your Budget First
Decide how much you will put into betting each session and try not to go beyond that limit. Betting is for entertainment, not for recovering money you have lost.
Keep the Number of Selections Low in Multi Bets
The more selections you add, the higher the combined odds — but the risk also increases. A multi bet with two or three selections is more manageable.
Start with Small Bets on New Markets
If you are trying a new market like total runs or handicap for the first time, start with a small amount to get a feel for how it works — once you understand the market, decisions become easier.
Read the Terms and Conditions First
For bonuses or promotions, it is important to read the terms and conditions first so you do not run into unexpected situations later.
