678bd Cricket Betting — place bets on every format from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — the most popular betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh, an easy guide to understanding odds and a full overview of live in-play betting.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Favourite Tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is part of everyday life. Before betting at 678bd, it helps to understand the three main formats, because each has a different pace, strategy and market type.
T20
Each team plays just 20 overs, so match results can shift quickly. Big shots, last-over drama and sudden wickets — in this format odds can change in an instant. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 competitions among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI
In this 50-over format, strategy, team strength and partnerships play a bigger role. Because matches are longer than T20, the betting markets are more varied — ODI is ideal for those interested in over-by-over breakdowns or top scorer markets.
Test
In this five-day format, the match result is shaped by pitch conditions, weather and the performance across both innings. A draw is a valid outcome, so Test matches have a three-way market (Team A win, Team B win, draw).
At the international level, the ICC T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and bilateral series all appear regularly on the 678bd betting calendar. Bangladeshi users naturally show the highest interest in Bangladesh Tigers matches.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 678bd also offers betting on football. From European leagues to international tournaments — football typically has a three-way market: Team A win, Team B win and draw. In cricket formats where a draw is not possible, only two options are available.
In football, number of goals, first goalscorer and handicap markets are popular. Cricket has its own specific markets — wickets fallen, run rate or powerplay score — which do not exist in football.
In other sports like kabaddi, tennis or basketball, market types differ further — match length, scoring system and momentum shifts vary across each. So before betting on a new sport, understanding its rules and market structure is helpful.

Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers many types of markets. Each market works best in different situations — below are seven of the most familiar markets in brief.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — that is the question this market asks. In T20 or ODI, you pick one of the two teams. Example: if Team B is chosen between Team A and Team B, and Team B wins, the bet is successful.
EasiestToss Winner
You predict which team will win the toss before the match begins. The toss is completely random, so the probability is roughly equal for both sides. If you want a straightforward market to get started, this is a simple one.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
You predict who will score the most runs in one team or across the whole match. The batting order and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs Over / Under
Whether more or fewer runs than a set number will be scored — pitch, weather and the team's batting depth are all factors. Example: whether total runs in an innings will exceed 165.
Stats-BasedTop Bowler
You predict which bowler will take the most wickets. The pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) and the opposition's batting lineup are worth considering.
Pitch-DependentMulti Bet
Multiple markets are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied to give the total return, but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Learn more about multi bet strategy.
Higher ReturnsPowerplay Score
How many runs will be scored or wickets taken in the first 6 overs — this market depends on the opening phase of the match. The openers' form and the bowlers' opening spells set the tone.
T20 SpecialHow to Read Odds
Cricket betting odds appear in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, only the way they are written differs.
If the bet wins, you receive ৳450 back (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳250 (৳50 profit).
Decimal odds are the most straightforward — just multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Fractional is part of British tradition, and the American format uses plus or minus to indicate the underdog or favourite.
Multi Bet Calculation
If the decimal odds on three selections are 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 — the combined odds are ≈ 5.17. A ৳100 stake with all three correct returns ৳517. However, if any one selection loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Multi bets offer higher returns, but every selection must be correct. Treat betting as entertainment — the risk of loss is always present.
Live In-Play Betting — odds change during the match
With live betting, you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds update automatically after every wicket, run-rate change or over completed.
For example, if Team A loses 2 wickets in the first powerplay, Team B's odds of winning will shorten (as they become the favourite), while Team A's odds will lengthen. Conversely, if Team A scores quickly, that will also be reflected in their win odds.
In T20, the last five overs often bring big shifts. If a key batsman gets out or a new bowler surprises the lineup, odds can change in moments. Live betting requires quick decisions — taking time to read the situation before placing a bet is a good habit.
Following a live match on mobile at 678bd is straightforward. For those who prefer betting on the go, the 678bd app details page has information on the Android and iOS versions.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — not a reliable source of income. That said, keeping a few basic points in mind can make the experience more organised.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each week or month, and stick to it. Placing large bets to recover losses is not a good idea.
Understand the format before choosing a market
High-scoring markets are popular in T20; run scoring is slower in Test. You will be more familiar with markets in the format you have watched the most.
Pay attention to pitch and weather
On spin-friendly pitches, total runs may be lower. If rain is forecast, the chance of a draw in Test or ODI matches increases — which is also reflected in market odds.
Keep the number of selections low in multi bets
Adding many selections raises the potential return, but lowers the chance of all of them being correct. When starting out, it is better not to go beyond 2–3 selections.
Be patient in live betting
Odds move fast in live betting. After a wicket falls, rather than placing a large bet on impulse, wait for the next over and assess the situation before deciding.
Know your limits for responsible play
If betting starts to feel like a source of stress, take a break. Our responsible gaming guide page has advice on setting your own limits.
