888starz Cricket Betting – Best Markets for Bangladesh's Favourite Sport
From T20 to Test — bet on Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman and live in-play markets. Cricket betting at 888starz means odds that shift every over, easy payments and support in Bengali.
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. At 888starz you can bet across all three formats: T20, ODI and Test. Each format has a different pace and character, so the betting experience differs too.
T20: The fastest format. Odds shift quickly in every BPL and IPL match. A single six from a batsman can change the odds in an instant.
ODI: Strategy plays a bigger role in a fifty-over match. The first powerplay and the middle overs create fresh opportunities in the betting markets.
Test: The game can turn multiple times over five days. Odds are adjusted whenever a wicket falls or the pitch behaviour changes.
Beyond BPL and IPL — when Bangladesh Tigers play in the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy or bilateral series, the number of markets on 888starz increases as well.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Odds are given for two options — Team A or Team B. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so the choice is straightforward.
Simple MarketToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known at the moment of the toss, so it does not depend on the match outcome.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman in an innings will score the most runs for their team. Considering the team's batting form and the nature of the pitch makes this market more interesting.
Skill MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number. Pitch conditions and powerplay statistics are useful here.
Runs BasedTop Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in a match. Whether pace or spin suits the pitch affects the odds.
Bowling FocusMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost — choose carefully.
High Return High Risk
888starz displays odds in three familiar formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Odds on Fighter A winning | Result on a ৳200 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Win: ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake); Loss: ৳200 gone |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Same result — odds written differently |
| American | +150 | Same result — a positive value means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Favourite odds example: Team B's decimal odds to win are 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. The minus (-) sign means you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, a win returns ৳250 (only ৳50 profit); a loss means ৳200 gone.
There is no need to be put off by the numbers — you can change the settings in the 888starz interface to display odds in your preferred format. See the 888starz Bet page for more details.
You can place bets even after a match has started — that is in-play betting. On 888starz, odds update instantly with every wicket, every six and every dot ball.
Say Team A makes a strong start in the first powerplay — Team B's odds to win go up because the task has become harder. Then if Team B takes three wickets in a row, Team A's odds can suddenly rise.
In-play markets feel more lively because quick decisions are needed. But remember — a quick decision is not always the right one. It is wiser to read the match situation before placing a bet.
To use live betting, log in to 888starz, go to the Sports section and select a match in progress.
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 888starz. But because the two sports are structured differently, the betting markets differ too. In cricket, a T20 result comes within a few hours while a Test takes five days. In football's 90 minutes, a draw is also a possible outcome — so the match winner market has three options (Team A win, Team B win, Draw).
On multi bets — you can combine three separate selections from cricket, football or any sport. For example: if three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). A ৳100 multi bet returns ৳426 if all selections are correct — but if one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
For boxing betting — this sport offers round betting, method of victory betting (KO or points) and total rounds markets. For more details, visit our Boxing Betting page.
Ludo Quick is a different category — it is not real-sports betting like cricket or football, but a fast skill game. Full details about the Ludo Quick game can be found on that page.
Cricket vs Football — Quick Comparison
- Cricket T20: result in 3–4 hours; no draw
- Football: 90 minutes; draw possible
- Cricket Test: 5 days; draws are common
- In-play odds: change every moment in both
- Multi bet: can be combined across both sports
Set a monthly betting budget and spread it in small amounts across matches rather than placing a large portion on one game. Losses are smaller if you lose, and the enjoyment is the same if you win.
On a spin-friendly pitch, the Top Bowler market may favour spinners. On a flat pitch, scores tend to be higher, so the Over/Under market behaves differently.
Live odds move fast, but if you are not in a hurry to decide, take time to read the flow of the match before placing a bet.
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. It is better not to increase your stakes in hopes of recovering lost money. Read about responsible gaming guidelines.
Adding too many selections increases the potential return, but also reduces the chance of all of them being correct. Keep it to two or three selections.
