Cricket Betting at 555 bat — Top Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
555 bat offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. At every moment of the match — from after the toss to the final over — you can put your analysis to use.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
T20
Just 20 overs per side — a match wraps up in a few hours. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Fast results mean odds change every over, making this format the most popular for live betting.
Live BettingODI
In One Day Internationals, each team plays 50 overs. The Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances get special attention from fans in Bangladesh. The pace is slower than T20, so match winner and top batsman markets work well here.
Match WinnerTest
This five-day format is the longest form of cricket. A draw is a valid result, so the odds structure is different from ODI or T20. Session-based betting and the match draw market in Tests are popular with many bettors.
Draw Market
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
Different tournaments run at different times of the year. BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise tournament where the connection with local fans is strongest. IPL is Indian but its market spans the entire subcontinent. The ICC T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy bring the world's best teams together on the same stage. All these competitions' markets are available together on 555 bat.
Cricket has more markets than football and other sports — because every over and every wicket creates a new betting moment. Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football, tennis and badminton at 555 bat — but among users in Bangladesh, cricket is number one.
Football and other sports betting
After cricket, football is the biggest betting category on 555 bat. For Premier League, La Liga and UEFA Champions League matches, three markets are especially familiar: match winner, correct score, and both teams to score. In football, a draw is a common result, so the odds structure differs from cricket.
In tennis and badminton only two outcomes are possible — no draw — so odds work much like T20 cricket. These sports do offer live set-based markets, where odds are reset after each set.
The main difference is not in the number of teams but in the pace of the match and the variety of statistics. Cricket has so many measurable events — runs, wickets, overs and partnerships — that the betting markets are detailed accordingly.
Cricket vs Football
- In cricket, draws only in Test
- More live markets in T20
- Correct score market popular in football
- Detailed statistics markets in cricket
- Multi bets possible in both
Cricket's popular markets
Each market works differently. Seven common markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes (team A or team B wins); in Test a third option is the draw. Example: if team A has higher odds to win, the bookmaker considers team B the favourite.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. Since this has no connection to the quality of play, the odds are usually roughly equal for both sides. The result comes quickly — right at the moment the match starts.
Top Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. The team's lineup and pitch conditions influence this bet. With multiple options in this market, odds can be higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
A set line is established — for example 160 runs. You bet whether the total runs scored will be over or under that line. Pitch, weather and the team's batting strength are factors to consider, though betting is for entertainment.
First Wicket Fall
A bet on how many overs it will take for the first wicket to fall. The form of the openers and the bowlers' condition are relevant here. In live betting you can enter this market after watching the first few balls.
Handicap Betting
One team is given an artificial run advantage or disadvantage. Example: a -15 run handicap on team A means 15 runs are deducted from their final score when determining the winner. This brings the odds for both teams closer together.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you win at the combined odds, but if one is wrong the entire bet is lost. Example: adding selections at odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 across three matches gives combined odds of 4.32 — more details about multi bets are available on the 555 bat Bet page.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
The same probability can be written in three different formats. 555 bat generally uses decimal odds, but it helps to understand the other formats too.
Example 1 — Bet on team A to win, ৳200 stake
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return including stake — ৳500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If you win: ৳300 profit on a ৳200 stake, total return ৳500. If you lose, only ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Bet on favourite team B to win, ৳200 stake
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return including stake — ৳250 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | ৳400 stake needed to make ৳100 profit |
If you win: ৳50 profit on a ৳200 stake, total return ৳250. American minus odds indicate the favourite's position.
All three formats give the same information — only the presentation differs. Decimal odds are the easiest because you simply multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return.
The higher the decimal odds, the less likely the bookmaker considers a win to be. Odds below 1.00 are not possible.
Live Betting — odds change when a wicket falls
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. The odds change with every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over. In a T20 match, if team A has scored 130 runs after 15 overs having lost only 2 wickets, their odds to win will drop considerably — and at that moment the odds on the other side will be higher.
In in-play betting, decisions need to be made quickly. On 555 bat's mobile platform you can view score updates and access markets at the same time. Live betting becomes even easier on the 555 bat App because you can keep notifications on.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting: since odds change fast, make sure you understand the current score and situation before placing a bet on any selection. Betting is for entertainment — stay within a set budget.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is entertainment — the tips below help keep the experience straightforward.
Set a separate budget for each betting session. Stick to that limit whether you win or lose. It is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines.
If you are new, the match winner market is the easiest place to start. Trying to understand multiple markets at once can cause confusion early on.
Look at the odds for different matches on 555 bat and understand which team the bookmaker considers the favourite. Lower odds means favourite, higher odds means underdog.
In a multi bet, one wrong selection loses the entire bet. A single selection has a higher chance of winning, though the return is smaller.
The pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) and the dew factor affect cricket results. This is a relevant part of betting analysis.
Before placing a bet, read the site's terms and conditions. In particular, know the policy on cancelled matches and refunds.
