vip Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most loved sport. At vip, back your team across T20, ODI and Test matches with live odds, multiple betting markets and instant payments to your mobile wallet.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace, strategy and style of betting.
T20 is the fastest format — the match finishes in just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly on every ball. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL are played in this format. Fans across the country, especially cricket lovers in Dhaka, follow BPL matches with extra interest.
ODI, or One Day Internationals, have 50 overs. Around the midpoint of the match, opportunities open up for live betting based on the team's run rate and wickets. T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments attract the most attention in betting markets.
Test cricket is a long five-day contest. Here odds change slowly and there is always the possibility of a draw. The patience and strategy required for Test betting is different from ODI or T20.
Football and other sports — vip also covers football and other sports alongside cricket. However, the market structure for football differs from cricket. In football, a draw is a valid result, so the Match Winner market has three options — Team A win, Team B win or draw. In cricket's T20/ODI formats there is no draw, so the market is simpler.
Popular Betting Markets
In cricket betting you can bet on many types of markets, not just the match result. Below is a brief overview of seven popular markets and how they work.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest and most widely used market. Example: Team A vs Team B — you pick Team A. If Team A wins, your bet wins.
Simplest optionToss Winner
Picking which team will win the toss. In this market the odds for both teams are usually almost equal, since the toss outcome is entirely chance-based.
Equal chanceTop Batsman
Predicting which batter will score the most runs in the match. This market has many options, so it is considered a higher-risk, potentially higher-return market.
More optionsTotal Runs Over/Under
Choosing whether the total runs scored in a specific over or an entire innings will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. Keep the pitch conditions and weather in mind.
Two optionsRuns in the First Over
How many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings — usually a range is selected. In T20, big hitting during the powerplay is common, so this market is quite popular.
Popular in T20Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct. A single wrong selection means the entire bet is lost — so the risk is higher but the potential return is also higher.
Higher riskSeries Winner
Picking which team will win a bilateral series before it begins. As the matches progress, odds change. The odds for a team that falls behind early in the series increase.
Top Wicket Taker
Predicting which bowler will take the most wickets in the full match or in a single innings. Spinners have the advantage on spin-friendly pitches; pace bowlers have the advantage on pace-friendly pitches.
How to Read Odds Formats
Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same outcome in different ways.
See the table below for an example — a ৳1,000 bet placed on Team A to win:
| Format | Value | Return if Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
| American | +125 | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
Example 1: Team A to win, ৳1,000 bet — decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,250 (including ৳1,250 profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake); if they lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
How do odds look for the favourite?
Example 2: Team B is the favourite — decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American −200. American minus odds mean how much you need to stake to win 100. On a ৳1,000 bet, total return is ৳1,500 (profit ৳500).
Multi Bet Odds Calculation
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds = 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, winning all three returns ৳479. However, losing any one of them means the full ৳100 is gone. See how vip Bet's sports betting works.
Live Betting — While the Game Goes On
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. When a wicket falls, a big six is hit or a team scores quickly, odds change instantly.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 3 wickets in 5 overs — at that moment Team A's odds of winning will increase, because their position is now difficult. On the other hand, if Team A scores 60+ runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket, then Team B's odds will increase.
The market situation changes with every over, wicket and run rate. That is why focus and the ability to make quick decisions matter in live betting.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Bet according to the format. In T20, a single over can change the match. In ODI or Test, situations take longer to shift — so betting decisions need to be made differently.
-
Stay informed about pitch and weather. Spinners have an advantage on spin-friendly pitches; the reverse applies on pace-friendly pitches. A forecast of rain increases the chance of a draw in Test matches.
-
Set a budget. Decide how much you will spend before each betting session and stick to that limit. Play for entertainment, not as a source of income.
-
Use market variety. Instead of staying only with Match Winner, also look at Top Batsman or Over/Under markets. Building experience across different markets deepens your understanding of betting.
-
Be careful with multi bets. Combining many selections increases potential returns, but a single wrong pick means losing the entire bet. Start with fewer selections in multi bets to build the habit.
-
Follow responsible betting. Betting is a form of entertainment. If you feel your spending is going out of control, read the responsible gaming guidelines and take a break if needed.
