bets3 live Cricket Betting — Top Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on the most popular sport in Bangladesh. Markets are available across three formats — T20, ODI and Test — from pre-match to live in-play.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Before understanding cricket betting, it helps to know the formats, because the types of markets differ for each. T20 is the fastest format — just 20 overs per side, so results can shift suddenly and live betting is most active. ODI is played over 50 overs per side; the pace is somewhat steadier, but pitch and weather have more influence. Test cricket is a five-day game — a draw is possible here, so the market offers three outcomes (Team A wins, Team B wins, Draw).
When it comes to tournaments, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the closest to Bangladeshi fans. Beyond that, IPL, the T20 World Cup, the Asia Cup and international bilateral series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers attract the most interest.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, bets3 live also offers markets on football. In football, the result is usually decided within 90 minutes, and in low-scoring matches like 1–0 or 2–1, the odds can be quite high. Just as a six in T20 cricket can swing a match in a moment, a single goal in football causes live odds to shift sharply.
Markets are also available on sports such as kabaddi, badminton and table tennis. Each sport has its own rules and market structure, so having a clear understanding of how a sport plays out and what results are possible makes betting much easier.
For those who prefer casino games, the bets3 live casino section has roulette, baccarat and live dealer games.
Popular Betting Markets
These are the most played markets in cricket betting — here is a plain explanation of what each one involves.
Bet on which team wins the match
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. T20 and ODI have two outcomes (Team A or Team B); Test has three (including Draw). This is the easiest starting point for new bettors.
Who wins the toss
This market closes before the match starts. The toss outcome is entirely random, so odds for both sides are nearly equal. It is useful if you want a quick result.
Highest run scorer
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the match. A player's recent form can help guide decisions in this market.
Bet on total runs in an innings
For example, the market might be set at "160 runs". If Team A scores more than 160, 'Over' wins; if less, 'Under' wins. Pitch and conditions are worth considering here.
Multiple markets combined
Combining predictions from several matches or markets into one bet multiplies the odds and increases the potential return — but if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. A detailed calculation is given in the odds section below.
Highest wicket taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Bowling conditions, pitch type and the batting lineup all play an important role in this market.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
bets3 live generally displays odds in decimal format, but understanding fractional and American formats is helpful when using international platforms.
| Format | Team A Win | Meaning (on a ৳500 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Favourite example: Say Team B's odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional and –200 in American. In American format, a minus figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 bet the return would be ৳750 (including ৳250 profit).
Multi bet calculation: If odds across three separate markets are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90, the combined odds when placed together are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three are correct, but if any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
You can place bets after a match has started — that is live or in-play betting. In T20 this is especially popular, because when a wicket falls or a big over is scored, odds can shift within seconds.
Suppose in a 20-over match, Team A is 60 for 5 after 10 overs. At that point Team A's odds of winning will be much higher, because fewer wickets remain. Then if two sixes are hit in the next over, the odds will change quickly again. Live betting therefore requires you to watch the match closely.
LIVE
In in-play betting there is less time to decide, so it is important to set a budget beforehand. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will help you understand how to keep your betting in check.
bets3 live also has slots and other games. The bets3 live slots section includes a range of top slot games from PG Soft, Pragmatic Play and others.
What events cause odds to change in in-play betting?
- A wicket falling — especially when a top batsman is dismissed
- A high-scoring over or a maiden over
- Play stopping due to rain or fading light
- Rapid runs or wickets during the powerplay
- The required run rate in the last 5 overs becoming very high or very low
Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keep that in mind and apply the habits below.
- 1 Set a budget in advance: Decide how much you will stake on each match before you start. It is better not to chase losses by placing extra bets after losing.
- 2 Start with one format: T20, ODI and Test each play differently. Beginners will find it easier to understand how markets move by starting with T20 betting.
- 3 Learn one market well: Rather than placing many different types of bets at once, build experience first with straightforward markets like Match Winner or Over/Under.
- 4 Be careful with multi bets: Even if the combined odds look attractive, one wrong selection loses the whole bet. It is better not to add too many selections to a multi bet.
- 5 Avoid rushing in live betting: Fast-changing odds make it easy to decide in a hurry. Try to place live bets only in specific situations you have thought through.
