Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
The biggest appeal of cricket betting is its variety. T20 matches pack action into just 20 overs, ODI offers a longer 50-over contest, and Test cricket is a five-day test of patience — each format calls for a different approach to betting.
BPL is Bangladesh's most popular domestic T20 tournament, where local and overseas stars play together. IPL is India's franchise league, but it enjoys just as much following in Bangladesh. Beyond that, the Bangladesh Tigers' matches in the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, and bilateral series always generate extra interest among fans.
Betting on Test cricket works a little differently — a draw is a possible result, so markets come in three types. ODI and T20 generally have no draw, making those markets simpler. Understanding the format before betting lets you approach each match from a fresh angle.
At tap 555, it is not just cricket — slot games are also very popular among Bangladeshi players.
Football and other sports — what is the difference
In football, three outcomes are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This makes the market structure different from cricket. In Premier League, Champions League, or Bangladesh league matches, odds are set based on these three possibilities.
In cricket, every delivery, a batsman's innings, or a single wicket can form its own betting market. In football, goals, corners, and cards are the more common betting options. Other sports like Kabaddi, tennis, or badminton also offer Match Winner and Handicap markets, but not with the same variety found in cricket and football.
The key difference lies in the pace of the game and its statistics. In T20 cricket, 120 balls means 120 possible events, whereas scoring opportunities in football are far fewer. Understanding this difference makes betting on each sport more enjoyable.
Popular betting markets and how they work
Below is a brief overview of seven familiar markets in cricket and sports betting.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI, three in Test (Team A wins, Team B wins, draw).
Toss Betting
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result depends entirely on chance.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match — for a team or overall.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
A single bet covering several matches or markets at once. If all selections are correct the return is much higher; if one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
A run or wicket handicap is applied to one team to level the contest. Betting on the weaker team gives higher odds.
Time of First Wicket
A bet on which over or at what run total the first wicket will fall — this market is especially popular in live betting.
How to read odds
Betting sites typically display odds in three formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three represent the same probability in different ways. Decimal format is the most widely used on betting sites in Bangladesh.
Example 1 — Even-chance bet
Placing ৳200 on Team A to win: Decimal odds 2.50, Fractional 3/2, American +150. If the bet wins, the total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If it loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds
Team B is the favourite — Decimal odds 1.50, Fractional 1/2, American -200. A minus sign in American format shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit. A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
| Format | Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A (underdog) | 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 |
| Team B (favourite) | 1.50 | 1/2 | -200 |
The figures above are examples only — actual odds vary for every match and market.
Multi Bet — multiple selections in one bet
A multi bet lets you pick several matches or markets in a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together to calculate the return.
Example: three separate matches with Decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.70 — the combined multi bet odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (rounded down). A ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all three selections are correct. If any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets offer higher potential returns but carry higher risk. Betting is for entertainment — always play within your means.
Live in-play betting — odds shift as the match unfolds
With in-play betting, you can place bets after the match has already started. Odds update automatically with every ball, wicket, or over. If three wickets fall in the opening over, the batting team's odds will rise immediately.
Say Team A is batting and has made a strong start — Team A's odds will begin to shorten while Team B's odds lengthen. If sudden rain or a slow pitch reduces the run rate, the balance of odds will shift again.
The appeal of live betting is that every moment of the match becomes a new opportunity. However, since quick decisions are needed, always stay aware of your budget.
Just like T20 cricket, tap 555 has plenty of other games to offer. At tap 555 Casino, you can find everything from live casino to slots.
Some practical tips before you start betting
- Start with one market: Get comfortable with the Match Winner market first. Placing bets across many markets at once can get complicated.
- Set your budget first: Decide how much you will spend on betting per week or month, and stick to that limit.
- Choose markets that suit the format: Total Runs and Multi Bet work well in T20, while Match Winner and innings markets are more relevant in Test cricket.
- Keep an eye on pitch and weather: A spin-friendly pitch gives bowlers more influence; a pace-friendly pitch can put batsmen under pressure.
- Learn to read odds: Decimal odds are the simplest — the lower the odds, the bigger the favourite; the higher the odds, the bigger the underdog.
- Bet for entertainment: No betting strategy guarantees a win. Treat betting as a form of fun, not a way to make money.
