Cricket Formats and Competitions

T20

In this 20-over format, the game changes with every ball. The excitement of T20 is felt most strongly in BPL and IPL.

BPL · IPL · T20 World Cup

ODI

The fifty-over ODI format combines strategy with patience. Top batsman and wicket markets are especially popular here.

ICC · Asia Cup · Bilateral Series

Test

In five-day Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and session results keep shifting the odds. Test betting has its own appeal for fans of the longer format.

Series · Each Innings

In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a public celebration. Just as the stands fill up during the BPL season, lb88's betting platform lets you feel the intensity of every match. Every match featuring the Bangladesh Tigers in international cricket is available here.

Football betting is also very popular on lb88 alongside cricket. However, in football a draw is a possible result, so the Match Winner odds are split differently from cricket. Markets for Kabaddi, tennis and badminton are available too, though the market structure and odds differ for each sport.

Popular Cricket Betting Markets

lb88 offers several betting markets for cricket. Each market has a different structure — so it is worth understanding each one before placing a bet.

Match Winner

Pick which team will win the match. There is no draw in T20 and ODI, so you choose one of two teams. For example: Team A vs Team B — you select Team B.

Toss Betting

Predict which team will win the toss before the match. It is essentially a coin flip — odds for both teams are usually equal.

Top Batsman

Predict which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or the whole match. This market is particularly attractive for wicketkeeper-batters and openers.

Total Runs Over/Under

Bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be above or below a specific number. For example: selecting Over 165.5 means you win if the runs are 166 or more.

Multi Bet

Combine multiple matches or events into a single bet. With three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all selections win. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.

Innings-by-Innings Handicap

A run advantage is given to one team artificially to balance the market. In matches with a large gap in ability, the handicap market creates more even odds between the two teams.

A Simple Guide to Understanding Odds Formats

lb88 decimal and fractional odds display

Three ways to show the same price

On lb88 and other betting sites, odds may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same information, just written differently.

Example 1 — Evenly matched teams: If Team A wins, the decimal odds are 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000); if Team A loses you lose the full ৳1,000.

Example 2 — Favourite team: Team B's decimal odds are 1.80, fractional 4/5, American −125 (minus means that amount must be bet to win 100). On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).

A minus sign in the American format indicates a favourite — it shows how much you need to bet to win 100. In decimal format the original stake is included in the odds, so the calculation is simplest.

Format Team A (Underdog) Team B (Favourite) Principle
Decimal 3.00 1.80 Total return = stake × odds
Fractional 2/1 4/5 Profit = stake × (a/b)
American +200 −125 + means profit on 100; − means stake needed to win 100

Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls

In-play or live betting is the most engaging side of cricket. As the match progresses, odds change in real time with every over and wicket.

Imagine the batting team suddenly loses two wickets in the 15th over — their odds of winning will lengthen (meaning betting on them could become more attractive), while the bowling team's odds will shorten. In the same way, after a big six or a quick scoring run, the batting team's odds shorten.

To enjoy live betting, you need to watch the match carefully — pitch conditions, the dew factor, a batsman's form and the run rate all help you understand the value in the market. While live betting on lb88, it is important to follow the responsible gaming policy.

For those who enjoy card games alongside cricket, lb88 has a complete guide to Rummy.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting

1

Choose markets that suit the format. High-score Over/Under markets work well in T20 because batting is aggressive. Session markets in Test cricket shift gradually — there is no need to rush.

2

Understand more than one market. Beyond the Match Winner, the Top Batsman or Total Runs market may feel more familiar. For beginners, it helps to focus on one market at a time.

3

Set a budget. Before each bet, think about how much you can afford to lose. Enjoy betting as entertainment — it is not a source of income.

4

Be careful with multi bets. Adding many selections together raises the odds, but getting all of them right is difficult. It is sensible to start with smaller multi bets.

5

Be patient in live betting. In-play odds change fast. Making rushed decisions increases the chance of mistakes — follow the flow of the match before placing a bet.

6

Understand the odds format first. Decimal, fractional or American — use whichever format you are comfortable with. lb88 lets you switch formats according to your preference.

Betting is for ages 21+ only. Betting is entertainment — do not treat it as an alternative source of income. If you have a problem, visit the responsible gaming page.

Common Questions About Cricket Betting

The Match Winner market is the easiest for new bettors — there are only two options (no draw in T20 and ODI). In Test cricket, a draw is a possible result so there are three options, making it a bit more complex. The Over/Under market is also straightforward — you just decide whether the total runs will be above or below a given number.

In live betting, odds change with every ball or event. A wicket, a boundary, or a big scoring moment — odds update at every point. That is why quick decision-making matters in live betting. You will have a better experience if you follow the flow of the match before placing a bet rather than rushing.

Both BPL and IPL are T20 leagues, so the market structure is largely the same. However, there may be differences in the number of teams, familiarity, and available markets. Because IPL is a larger tournament, it generally offers more markets. Since BPL is a local league, many bettors know the teams well, which can be an advantage in understanding the market.

Yes, at lb88 you can generally add selections from different sports together in a multi bet. Keep in mind that in a multi bet, every selection must be correct. If even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. With three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the combined odds are 3.81 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all selections win.

If a match is cancelled or incomplete due to rain or any other reason, the bet will be settled according to lb88's terms and conditions. Generally, if the required number of overs is not bowled, the match is declared void and the bet is cancelled. See the terms and conditions for details.
