8m beat Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
8m beat offers a wide range of betting markets for T20, ODI and Test matches for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From live in-play odds to multi bets, all types of bets are in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
From T20 to Test — each format has a different style of betting and different opportunities.
T20
This is the fastest format, played over just twenty overs. Odds in BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup shift with every over. It is the most popular format among fans in Bangladesh.
ODI
The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are held in this fifty-over format. Because matches are longer, there are more opportunities for markets to shift between innings.
Test
This longest format spans five days and allows three possible results including a draw. As the match progresses, weather, pitch conditions and batting lineups reshape the odds each day.
A Bangladesh Tigers match brings fans together from Dhaka to Chattogram across the whole country. Markets for all these matches are easy to find on 8m beat. Those who enjoy live casino games alongside cricket can check out W Live's live table games.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Beyond cricket, 8m beat also offers markets for football and a few other sports. The main difference between football and cricket betting is the number of possible outcomes. In football, odds for a win, loss or draw are each listed separately. In T20 or ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so markets are limited to two outcomes.
Football has specialist markets like goalscorer, handicap and number of corners that do not exist in cricket. Cricket, on the other hand, has its own markets based on wickets, run rate and overs. In both cases, live betting makes the overall experience more active.

Popular Betting Markets
The markets used most often in cricket betting.
| Market Type | Description and Example |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20/ODI there are only two options; in Test, a draw is also possible. Example: if you back Team A to win and Team A wins, you receive a return; otherwise the bet is lost. |
| Toss Winner | A bet on which team will win the toss. The result has no connection to the match score. Example: if you back Team B to win the toss and Team B wins it, you receive a return. |
| Top Batsman | A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. Example: if the batsman at a specific position for Team A ends up as the top scorer, the bet is won. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | A bet on whether a team's or the full match's total runs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: whether Team A will score more than 165 runs. |
| First Wicket Timing | Which over the first wicket will fall in the innings. Example: if a wicket falls during the first powerplay, the bet is won. |
| Multi Bet | Multiple bets combined into one — a full return is paid only if all selections are correct. Example: picking the winners of three separate matches together multiplies the odds and increases the return, but if any one is wrong the entire bet is lost. |
| Innings Handicap | The weaker team is given a virtual run head-start to balance the market. The result is judged with the handicap applied, so the winning margin matters, not just who won. |
How to Read Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — all three formats carry the same information, just expressed differently.
Decimal Odds
The simplest format. Multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Example: Team A to win, odds 2.25 — a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,250 if won (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); the ৳1,000 is lost if the bet loses.
Fractional Odds
This format from British tradition has the right number as the stake and the left number as the profit. 5/4 means ৳5 profit on a ৳4 stake. Same example: Team A at 5/4 odds — ৳1,000 stake yields ৳1,250 profit, total return ৳2,250.
American Odds
A plus sign shows how much profit a ৳100 stake makes. Same example: Team A at +125 odds — ৳1,000 stake yields ৳1,250 profit, total return ৳2,250. For a minus sign: Team B at 1.25 / 1/4 / -400 odds — ৳1,000 stake gives a total return of ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
The Same Odds in Three Formats
Bet on Team A to win, stake ৳1,000:
-
Decimal
2.25 -
Fractional
5/4 -
American
+125 -
Total return if won
৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake)
Example of Reading Favourite Odds
Bet on Team B to win — Team B is the clear favourite here:
-
Decimal
1.25 -
Fractional
1/4 -
American (Minus)
-400 (৳400 stake needed to win ৳100) -
Total return on ৳1,000 stake
৳1,250 (৳250 profit)
Live In-Play Betting — Markets Shift During the Match
Live betting is active — odds update with every ball and every wicket.
The odds that existed before the match change completely after a wicket falls. For example, if a team scores well but loses 3 wickets in 10 overs, the opponent's odds may shorten. And if a dramatic situation unfolds in the final over, the odds for both teams can become almost equal.
The key things to watch in live betting are:
-
01
Impact of wickets: A key batsman's dismissal immediately changes the match-winner odds.
-
02
Run rate and overs: As the required run rate climbs, the batting team's odds shorten.
-
03
Odds after the powerplay: After the first 6 overs, the score makes mid-innings markets clearer.
-
04
Total runs market: New lines appear in the over/under total runs market around the midpoint of an innings.
Multi Bet — Multiple Bets Combined
A multi bet lets you combine bets on three or more separate matches on a single ticket. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together to produce a larger return. But if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Example: if the decimal odds on three separate matches are 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the multi odds will be 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳381 if all win — but if one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Multi bets add variety to betting, but the risk is higher. Starting with a small stake is the sensible approach.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — the advice below helps keep the experience straightforward and responsible.
Choose markets based on the format
In T20, markets for toss, powerplay runs and total score are popular. For ODI or Test, consider match winner and innings-based markets separately. Each format moves differently.
Set a fixed budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each betting session and stick to that limit. Set aside only the amount you are prepared to lose for entertainment.
Understand the odds format
8m beat shows odds in all three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Compare them once using the examples above — all three show the same information.
Play responsibly
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income. Avoid placing bigger bets to chase losses. For more information, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
