wine Cricket Betting — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
wine offers detailed betting markets for Bangladesh's most popular sport. Bet across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — with odds that update with every moment of the match.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Competitions
Each cricket format plays differently, and so the betting markets differ too. Knowing which market suits which format makes betting more enjoyable.
T20
Every ball counts in this 20-over format. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Because results come quickly, T20 is the most popular format for in-play betting. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup get special attention on wine.
One-Day International
Strategy plays a bigger role in this 50-over format. Good markets are available for Total Runs, number of wickets, and Top Batsman. ODI matches — in ICC tournaments and bilateral series — are regularly available on wine.
Test Match
In this five-day format, pitch behaviour and batting order play a major role in betting. Because a draw is possible, the market structure differs from T20 — there are three possible results: Team A win, Team B win, and Draw.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the most anticipated tournament of the year for cricket fans in Dhaka and across the country. Each match between franchises keeps the betting markets lively.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is extremely popular in this region. Alongside it, the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series keep cricket betting active on wine all year round.

Differences in Betting on Football and Other Sports
Football is also widely popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. Football offers markets like Match Winner, number of goals, and Both Teams to Score. However, in-play odds movements in football are different from cricket — in cricket, odds shift after every wicket and over; in football, major changes come after goals or red cards.
In other sports — such as tennis or badminton — set-by-set markets are available. Each sport has its own rhythm and scoring system, so betting markets are structured differently.

Cricket vs Football Betting
- In cricket, odds change every over; in football, they change after goals and cards
- In cricket, a draw is only possible in Test — no draws in T20 or ODI
- Football has separate markets for extra time and penalty shootouts
- In cricket, weather and pitch reports are important factors in betting decisions
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
A cricket match offers many types of markets beyond just the Match Winner. Learn about seven key markets below.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match? This is the simplest market. T20 and ODI have two possible outcomes; Test has three (win, loss, draw). Choose between Team A and Team B — the result is confirmed at the end of the match.
Toss Winner
The result is known before the match even starts. You bet on which team — A or B — will win the toss. The probability is equal on both sides, so odds are usually close. A good option if you want a quick result.
Top Run Scorer
Which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match? This market involves comparing the batters of one team. Batting position and pitch type are important factors to consider.
Over/Under Runs
Will the total runs in an innings or the whole match be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set line? For example, "Will the first innings exceed 160 runs?" — this is a very popular market in T20.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine several matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply for a larger return — but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: three selections at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 give combined odds of 5.17.
Number of Wickets
A market on how many wickets will fall in an innings or a set number of overs. This market becomes particularly relevant when conditions favour pacers or spinners. Pitch reports and weather are worth considering here.
Runs in the Next Over
While a live match is in progress, bet on how many runs will be scored in the next over. You can make your decision based on the current situation — who is bowling, how the batter is playing.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Betting odds are expressed in three ways — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three show the same information in different forms. The two examples below make it straightforward.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | Total return including stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | Profit ratio only |
| American | +200 | -400 | + means profit, – means stake required |
Example 1 — If Team A wins (Underdog)
A ৳1,000 bet is placed on Team A at decimal odds of 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. If Team A wins, total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — If Team B wins (Favourite)
Team B's odds are decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 stake on Team B returning ৳1,250 total if they win (৳250 profit). If Team B loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Keep in Mind
- Decimal odds are easy to read — anything above 1.00 means a potential profit
- Fractional odds are more commonly used in British betting
- American + means profit; – means the stake needed to win 100
- All three formats carry the same information — only the way of writing differs
Odds Shift on Wickets and Overs — How Live Betting Works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is ongoing. In cricket, odds change instantly at the end of every over and whenever a wicket falls.
For example, if Team A is scoring well in the first 10 overs, their odds of winning the match drop (as their probability increases), while Team B's odds rise. If two quick wickets fall, the picture changes again.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. wine's mobile app lets you view the scorecard and place bets at the same time. You can do live betting from anywhere using the wine app.
- The first wicket brings a significant shift in odds
- Run rates are higher in Powerplay overs — odds move quickly
- The Total Runs market stays active in the final five overs
- Confirm your bet before the in-play market closes
What to Know Before You Start Cricket Betting
Cricket betting is primarily entertainment — a way to add a little more to the enjoyment of watching a match. Keeping a few practical things in mind before betting makes the experience better.
-
Set your budget first
Decide how much you will spend each session before you start. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose. Betting is for entertainment — not money needed for daily life. -
Understand the format before choosing a market
Total Runs Over/Under works well in T20; the Match Draw market matters in Test. Choosing the right market for the right format makes the whole process more enjoyable. -
Start with one market
For beginners, it is best to start with just the Match Winner market. Get familiar gradually rather than jumping into many markets at once. -
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns — but if any one selection loses, everything is gone. Keep your stake small on multi bets. -
Play responsibly
If you feel stressed about betting, take a break. Detailed guidelines and tools for setting limits are available on wine's Responsible Gaming page.
