888starz deposit Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on every format of cricket — T20, ODI, and Test. All popular markets for BPL, IPL, and international matches in one place.
Three cricket formats and your favourite tournaments
T20 is the most popular format among cricket fans in Bangladesh. With every ball carrying pressure in this 20-over game, it is equally appealing to bettors. Matches wrap up in two to three hours, which fits well into a busy schedule.
The 50-over ODI format adds another layer of strategy. The rise and fall of run rates through the middle overs and powerplay situations create plenty of variety in betting markets. Test cricket is a five-day game of patience — three outcomes are possible here (win, win, or draw), which sets it apart from other formats.
The BPL season draws special attention from Bangladeshi bettors every year. Alongside it, the IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, and bilateral series keep betting markets active throughout the year. 888starz deposit offers match-based markets for all these competitions.
How football and other sports betting differ
Football betting works a little differently from cricket. Matches are played within a fixed 90-minute window, and a draw is a normal outcome — so markets typically offer three options: team A wins, team B wins, or draw. In Bangladesh, the Premier League, La Liga, and World Cup matches attract the most interest.
In cricket, a falling wicket or a shift in run rate can quickly change live odds. The same happens in football when a goal is scored. In tennis or badminton, each set result creates a separate market. 888starz deposit's sports betting section covers matches across all these formats.
Cricket's biggest distinction is the depth of its markets — it is not just about who wins the match; you can also bet on which batsman will score the most runs or what the total score will be.
6 popular cricket markets explained with simple examples
Here is a plain-language explanation of how each market works.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so there are only two options — team A or team B. In Test matches there are three options.
Toss Winner
A bet on the outcome of the toss before the match begins. The result is entirely 50/50, so the odds for both sides are nearly identical.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. You cannot select more than one batsman in the same innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific number — for example, 165. You choose whether the combined runs scored by both teams will be over or under that number.
Powerplay Runs
A bet on how many runs a team will score in the first six overs. This market settles quickly in T20 matches, which makes it popular with many bettors.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet. Example: 3 selections across 3 different matches — all three must be correct to win; one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
In a handicap market, one team is given a virtual run or wicket advantage to level the playing field. Similar to the over/under market, the outcome is judged above or below a set number. Both markets are straightforward to understand without needing specific stake or return examples.
Decimal, fractional, and American — odds in three formats
Most platforms, including 888starz deposit, display odds in three formats. You can choose whichever one you are most comfortable with.
| Format | Example (if team A wins) | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Stake × 2.25 = total return (including profit) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Stake ৳4 to win ৳5 profit |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Odds for team A to win: decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,125 if team A wins (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); if team A loses, ৳500 is lost.
Team B is the favourite: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit). A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳750 if team B wins (৳250 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest because profit does not need to be calculated separately. New bettors usually start with this format. On 888starz deposit's platform you can switch to whichever format suits you.

How odds change while a match is in progress
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets after a match has started. The situation changes after every ball, and odds are updated accordingly.
When a wicket falls: the match-winner odds for the batting team rise immediately, as they are in a weaker position. The fielding team's odds shorten.
At the end of an over: if the run rate is ahead of or behind the target, odds shift to reflect that. After the powerplay, there can be a significant move in the markets.
In the final overs: live odds fluctuate the most in the last five overs of a match. The match situation is assessed second by second.
During a drinks break: markets may be temporarily suspended. Once they reopen after the break, bets can be placed at the new prices.
