Cricket Betting at bd 111 — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. From T20 to ODI and Test, bd 111 offers a range of markets for every format — match winner, top batsman, over/under and more. Read on to learn how to read odds, how each market works, and what changes with live betting.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each has a different character, so the approach to betting differs too. T20 matches finish in a few hours, making them fast-paced with odds that can shift every over. ODI is a full-day match where strategy and mid-innings performance play a big role. Test cricket is played over five days, and pitch and weather conditions have a direct bearing on betting outcomes.
Among the tournaments most familiar to Bangladeshi fans are the BPL, India's IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup. BPL features local franchise teams, IPL brings together some of the best cricketers in the world, and the World Cup includes the Bangladesh Tigers — each one holds special interest for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
bd 111 accepts bets on matches across all these tournaments. Separate markets are available for each match and they open before the match begins.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
Just like cricket, bd 111 also offers betting on football and several other sports. However, the betting experience differs quite a bit between the two.
In football, a draw is a possible outcome, so there are usually three main markets: home win, draw or away win. In T20 and ODI cricket, a draw is not possible — one of the two teams must win (even if it goes to a Super Over, a final result is reached). In Test cricket a draw is possible, so a three-outcome market applies there.
In football, markets on number of goals, corners or cards are popular. In cricket, there are markets on wickets, runs, and even how many runs will be scored in a specific over. Pitch and weather conditions have a greater influence in cricket than they do in football.
For those who want to bet on more than one sport at the same time, the multi-bet section is designed for exactly that — combining selections from cricket and football to create the potential for higher returns.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers many types of markets. Below is a brief explanation of the seven most common markets and how each one generally works.
Match Winner
A straightforward bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes, making this the easiest market to start with.
Most PopularToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result of this market is decided at the very beginning of the match.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs for their team. You can use a batter's current form to guide your choice in this market.
Innings-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Analysis of pitch and weather conditions comes in useful here.
Runs-BasedTotal Wickets
A bet on how many wickets will fall in an innings. On pitches that assist pace bowling, more wickets tend to fall naturally.
Bowling-FocusedFirst Over Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over. The opening batters' aggressive intent and the pace bowler's opening spell are the deciding factors here.

How to Read Odds
At bd 111, odds can generally be displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Return on ৳1,000 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| 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 — Two Evenly Matched Teams
If Team A wins with decimal odds of 2.25, that is 5/4 in fractional and +125 in American. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A winning returns a total of ৳2,250 — ৳1,250 in profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake. If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Odds for the Favourite
If Team B is a clear favourite, their odds might be decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win 100 — here, 200. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B winning returns a total of ৳1,500 — a profit of only ৳500. The favourite is more likely to win, so the profit is lower.
Quick Comparison
-
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply directly to get the total return.
-
Fractional odds show profit — 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 wagered.
-
American + odds show the profit on a 100 stake; minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100.
-
All three formats say the same thing — only the way they are written differs.
Live In-Play Betting — Betting During the Match
In cricket, every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over brings an immediate change to the odds. Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — and making decisions based on what is happening at that moment.
Say Team A has scored 120 runs for 3 wickets after 15 overs in a T20 match. If Team A is considered the favourite at that point, their odds will shorten and Team B's odds will lengthen. Then if two wickets fall in the very next over, the odds will shift again. In live betting, new markets are open at each of these turning points.
Over/under and next wicket markets are especially popular in live play because they are settled quickly. That said, because odds move fast in live betting, it is worth taking a moment to think before placing a bet.
Useful Things to Keep in Mind for Cricket Betting
-
Know the pitch and weather conditions — In Test and ODI matches, pitch behaviour changes over time. On spin-friendly pitches, fewer runs tend to be scored in the second innings. A rain forecast increases the chance of a draw in Test matches.
-
Understand where you are in the tournament — In the league stage, teams may sometimes rest key players for tactical reasons. In the knockout stage, all teams field their strongest lineup.
-
Stick to your budget — Decide how much to wager on each bet in advance. If you lose on one match, it is better not to try to recover that loss on the next one. Bet for entertainment.
-
Start with smaller markets — Beginning with match winner or toss markets is straightforward. Once you are comfortable, you can move on to over/under and multi-bet.
-
Play responsibly — Betting can be enjoyable, but it is not a source of income. Before you play, take a moment to read the responsible gaming guidelines.
