27bet Cricket Betting — Best Odds from BPL to T20 World Cup
Whether it is a Bangladesh Tigers match or an exciting IPL moment, 27bet lets you bet on every format of cricket. From match winner to innings total runs and live betting — all in one platform.
Three formats of cricket and their betting differences
Understanding the format before betting on cricket is important. T20, ODI and Test each have a different style of play, so the odds and markets also differ. 27bet offers betting on all three formats.
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format the game changes quickly. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Since odds shift every over, live betting is especially active here.
ODI Cricket
In a 50-over match, team strategy becomes more important. In ICC World Cup, Asia Cup and bilateral series ODIs, markets for top batsman and total runs are most active.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, a draw is a possible result alongside a match winner, so the odds structure is different. There are opportunities to bet on innings totals, series winner and first-innings advantage.
Differences from football and other sports
Cricket betting markets are far more detailed than football. Football mainly offers match winner, goalscorer or total goals markets. In cricket you can bet on each wicket, each over's runs and even specific deliveries. Football ends in 90 minutes, but a Test match can turn in many directions over five days — each turn creates a new betting opportunity. Other sports like kabaddi or volleyball have comparatively fewer markets.
Betting is not limited to cricket — at 27bet you can also enjoy live casino and slot games at 27bet Casino.
Popular betting markets and examples
27bet offers many types of cricket betting markets. Below is a brief introduction to seven popular markets so that even newcomers can understand how to bet in each one.
Match Winner
This market is about which of the two teams will win. Pick Team A or Team B and place your bet. In T20 there is no draw, so there are only two options.
Toss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is completely separate from the match result and is roughly a fifty-fifty market.
Top Batsman
Bet on which player from either team will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. You can factor in a specific player's form beyond the team's overall performance.
Total Runs — Over/Under
Bet on whether total runs scored in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Pitch conditions and the state of the wicket are important factors here.
Top Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch conditions and the opposition's batting lineup are worth considering.
Multi Bet
You can combine multiple selections into a multi bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, making the potential return higher — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap and series markets
In handicap betting, the weaker team is given an advantage. For example, if Team A is given a 15-run head start, that number is added when calculating the result to determine who wins. This brings the odds of both teams closer together. In series betting, you wager on which team will win more matches across the whole series. Tournament markets such as a BPL champion market are also available.

Understanding odds in three formats
Odds on a betting site are displayed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the notation differs. The examples below will make it clearer.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2,500 on a ৳1,000 bet |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (underdog odds): Team A's odds to win are 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional, +150 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,500 if Team A wins (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000 stake); if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite odds): Team B is the favourite with odds of 1.25 in decimal, 1/4 in fractional, -400 in American (meaning you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,250 if Team B wins (৳250 profit); if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Special rules for American odds
In American odds, the + and - signs mean two different things:
- +150 means: ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (underdog)
- -400 means: you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit (favourite)
Most betting platforms in Bangladesh display decimal format — it is the easiest to understand. At 27bet you can choose the format you prefer.
Odds shift with every wicket and over
Live or in-play betting means placing bets in real time while the match is going on. Odds update after every ball — a wicket falling can change them dramatically.
Impact of a wicket
When a key batsman from the batting team gets out, that team's odds to win increase immediately — meaning they are considered less likely to win. The bowling team's odds drop.
Over-by-over picture
After the first powerplay, the run rate gives a sense of where the innings is heading. When runs come quickly in the later overs, the "over" market becomes popular — these moments matter in live betting.
How the situation develops
When both teams' totals are close near the end of a match, the odds become nearly equal. Entering live markets at this point means making big decisions on small differences — remember, betting is for entertainment.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
- Understand the format before betting: T20 matches change fast; Test matches require patience. Focus on the format you understand best.
- Focus on one market: If you are new, start with only the match winner market. Betting on too many markets at once makes things complicated.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much of your entertainment budget you are willing to spend. Avoid placing more bets to chase losses.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change quickly while a match is on. Make decisions by analysing the situation, not on impulse.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multiplying three selections' odds together can show a large return, but if any one selection loses the whole bet is gone. Start with fewer selections.
- Keep responsible betting in mind: Betting is a form of entertainment — losses are never a source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines for more information.
Multi bet example
Three selections: odds 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximate). A ৳100 bet returns ৳517 if all three win. But if any one selection loses, the full ৳100 is lost.
Generic Team A / Team B examples only — not live odds or a guarantee.
