Cricket Betting at blc — a complete guide to betting on BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From understanding formats to market types, reading odds, and live betting — follow every cricket moment more closely at blc.
T20, ODI and Test — how different is betting across three formats?
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the difference between formats. Each format has its own match pace, run rate, and result uncertainty — and that is why the types of markets differ too.
Fastest format
With only 20 overs, results come quickly. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular with Bangladeshi fans. High scoring and frequent wickets make live betting especially engaging here.
Fifty-over contest
The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Team composition, pitch conditions, and the mid-innings position all influence the market. More options are available here in markets like top batsman or over/under.
Five-day test
In Test cricket a draw is possible, so the market carries three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or draw. Pitch behavior, weather, and session-by-session developments shift the odds. Live betting here offers opportunities across five days.
At blc you can also bet on football and other sports alongside cricket. In football, results come within 90 minutes and a draw is a normal possibility, so the market structure differs from cricket. Cricket has specific markets like wickets in an innings or run rate that do not exist in football. However, live in-play betting works on the same principle in both — odds change as the match progresses.
Beyond betting, blc also has slot games and a live casino, so there is entertainment available even during cricket breaks.
7 popular betting markets worth knowing from the start
Cricket betting at blc covers a range of market types. The markets below are the most commonly used — a simple example is given for each.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match is the simplest market. For example — in team A vs team B, if you think team B will win, just select team B.
Simple marketToss Winner
A bet placed before the match only on the toss outcome. Whether team A or team B wins the toss — this is not connected to the match result; it is a separate market.
Independent marketTop Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. The comparison is within one team — choose the strongest batter in that side.
Player marketTotal Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — for example 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be more than that number (over) or fewer (under).
Total scoreTop Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. The pitch type and conditions are important factors to consider here.
Player marketMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply — but if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple selectionsHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a team to level the market. If team A starts with a run handicap advantage, team B must overcome that difference to win.
Levelled contestDecimal, fractional and American — how to read three types of odds
The value of the same bet can be shown in three different formats. Looking at all three together with one example makes them easier to understand.
| Format | Price for team A to win | Total return on a ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳1,500 (same calculation) |
| American | +200 | ৳1,500 (+ sign means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet) |
If team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone. Now suppose team B is the favourite in the same match — their odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional, and -200 in American format. The minus sign here means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. A ৳500 bet returns ৳750 (including ৳250 profit).
Being able to read odds correctly in a cricket match helps you understand how much potential return you are looking at for a given level of risk. Remember, betting is for entertainment — always keep your bets within your means. See the responsible betting page for more details.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how live in-play betting works
Odds are fixed before a match starts, but once play begins they change with every event. With in-play or live betting, you can place bets while the match is in progress.
In a T20, if the first team has lost 4 wickets in 15 overs with a low score, the second team's odds to win shorten — meaning they are now the favourite. Then a big shot in the final over can change the picture again. In Test matches, pitch changes across five days, rain interruptions, and the effect of the new ball all influence the odds.
In live betting you need to make decisions quickly because odds update from moment to moment. If an over ends without a wicket, the batting team's scoring odds improve; if a wicket falls, they shorten — understanding this basic pattern makes live betting more enjoyable.

A few useful tips before you start
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the habits below in mind makes the experience better.
- Set a budget first. Keep a separate budget for each match and do not go beyond that limit. It is better not to place extra bets trying to recover lost money.
- Focus on one market. Start with simpler markets like match winner or over/under. Trying to follow too many markets at once makes decisions harder.
- Choose markets to match the format. The total runs market works well in T20, while the match winner market in Test shifts day by day. Matching the market to the format gives you a clearer betting experience.
- Be patient in live betting. Waiting a few overs to read the situation before placing a bet tends to make the odds feel more realistic. Rushing often leads to poor decisions.
- Follow the 21+ age rule. All casino and betting activity at blc is for those aged 21 and above. Accounts cannot be opened by anyone under that age.
- Use multi bet with care. Combining three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.70 in one multi bet gives combined odds of roughly 3.57 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳357, but if any one of the three is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
