bd678 Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to IPL — bd678 lets you bet on multiple markets across every cricket format. Match winner, toss, top batsman or live in-play — all types of betting in one place.
The three cricket formats and the competitions Bangladeshis love
There are three main formats in cricket betting — T20, ODI and Test. The pace of play and the types of markets differ across each format, so the betting approach differs too.
T20: The fastest format. A match ends in just 20 overs, giving you the chance to make quick decisions in live betting. BPL and IPL are the two competitions most popular among Bangladeshi cricket fans. BPL features teams with familiar local players, while IPL offers world-class head-to-head competition.
ODI: In this fifty-over format the pace of the match is comparatively steady, making it easier to forecast over by over. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are held in this format.
Test: Five-day cricket is the longest challenge. Because a draw is a possible result, you can bet on three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. The wicket and runs markets are more varied in this format.
At bd678 you can bet on matches including the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Bangladesh Tigers international series.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Beyond cricket, bd678's sports betting section lets you bet on football, tennis, badminton and many other sports. However, there are some fundamental differences between the market structure of cricket and football.
In football, each match has three main outcomes — a home win, an away win and a draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there are no draws, so you only bet on two outcomes. Because of this, cricket's odds structure can be simpler than football's.
Football has half-time/full-time result, number of corner kicks and goalscorer markets. Cricket has wicket count, maiden overs and partnership runs in their place — the variety of markets is different across the two sports.
For a full breakdown of various sports, see the sports betting guide, where markets for multiple sports are explained in detail.
Popular cricket betting markets with examples
From the match result to an individual batsman's runs — cricket offers many types of markets to bet on. Below are seven of the most commonly used markets explained in plain language.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 or ODI only Team A or Team B can win, so the choice is simple.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known before play begins, so this is a quick-settlement market.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team — in this market you pick one player from Team A or Team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be more (over) or less (under) than a set number — this is a market for analysing bowling and pitch conditions.
Multi Bet
Combining the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger, but if one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Wicket Market
How many wickets will fall, or which bowler will take the first wicket — these markets are particularly interesting for analysing familiar pitches and team strengths.
First Over Runs
Bet on the total runs scored in the first over of an innings. The outcome depends on the powerplay strategy being used.
How decimal, fractional and American odds work
Odds at bd678 are generally shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three formats express the same information in different ways.
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
Return if won: ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000 returned).
If lost: the ৳1,000 stake is gone.
Team B to win.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Return on a ৳1,000 stake: ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest — the higher the number, the greater the return. In fractional format, if the numerator is larger than the denominator it indicates an underdog. In American format, plus (+) means underdog and minus (-) means favourite.
Live in-play betting — odds shift when a wicket falls
In-play betting means you can still place bets after a match has started. In cricket, odds change with every over and every wicket, and bd678 reflects those changes in real time.
Say Team A is scoring quickly in the first five overs — Team A's odds to win will shorten (becoming the favourite) and Team B's odds will lengthen. Then if the top batsman gets out, the odds may swing the other way.
A few things worth keeping in mind for live betting:
- Odds move fast after a wicket falls — so taking too long to decide is not ideal.
- After the powerplay you can estimate the total runs market based on the run rate so far.
- In Test matches the pitch changes slowly, so there is more time to act in live betting.
- Choosing a market after checking the scorecard and pitch conditions is the sensible approach.
Remember — enjoy live betting as a form of entertainment. Betting is never a guaranteed way to earn income.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is purely for entertainment. The tips below are useful for both new and experienced bettors.
The match winner market is the easiest for beginners. It is better to understand one market well before moving on to others.
Before each betting session, decide how much you are willing to spend. Do not go beyond the set budget. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Total runs markets are more active in T20. Test matches may have separate session-by-session result markets. Pick your market based on the format.
Multi bets offer higher returns, but if one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. It is better not to add too many selections to a multi bet.
Odds change quickly in in-play betting, so avoid making decisions based on impulse — analyse each situation with a clear head.
