Cricket betting at wmc — bet across all formats from T20 to Test
Popular betting markets for BPL, IPL and international matches, a clear guide to understanding odds, and live in-play betting — all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and the competitions most followed by Bangladeshi fans
Cricket is played in three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each with its own pace and character. A T20 match wraps up in a few hours, keeping the excitement of betting continuous. In ODI, fifty-over strategy and planning shape many of the betting decisions. In Test cricket, conditions shift over five days, so there are more markets for bettors who like to take their time.
BPL is the most familiar tournament for cricket fans in Bangladesh. IPL, the T20 World Cup and ICC Championship series also attract strong betting interest. When the Tigers play in international series, the enthusiasm among local supporters is on a different level.
Alongside cricket, wmc also lets you bet on football and other sports. Because a draw is a separate result in football, the betting markets differ somewhat from cricket. Those who want to try something outside cricket can use Virtual Sports to bet on simulated matches at any time.
7 popular markets in cricket betting
Each market works differently. Below are seven markets with a simple explanation of each.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 or ODI there are only two possible results (usually no draw). Example: if Team A wins the bet passes; if Team B wins it is lost.
EasiestToss Winner
Bet on the toss result before the match. Team A or Team B — both options have equal probability, so the odds are usually very close to even.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Predict which batsman will score the most runs for their team. With several contenders in a single innings the odds are spread out, meaning a winning return can be quite large.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a set number of overs or a full innings will be above (over) or below (under) a specified number. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role in this market.
StrategicTop Bowler
Pick the bowler who will take the most wickets in the innings. Whether the pitch favours spin or pace is a useful factor when making this decision.
AnalyticalHandicap Betting
To bridge the gap between two sides, the weaker team is given a virtual run advantage. The stronger team must win by more than that margin, which makes the odds more balanced.
BalancedMulti Bet (multiple selections combined)
Combining selections from several matches or markets onto a single slip creates a multi bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential return is much larger — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Example: odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 total, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳378 if all three are correct — if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
High Risk, High Return
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
An online betting site may display the odds for the same match in three different formats. Once you understand them, all three are straightforward.
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return = stake × odds. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked. A ৳1,000 stake gives ৳1,500 profit, returning ৳2,500 in total. |
| American (Plus) | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake. A ৳1,000 stake gives ৳1,500 profit, returning ৳2,500 in total. |
All three formats say the same thing — if Team A wins, a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,500 in total; if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Favourite team odds — American minus
Team B is the favourite: decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American −400. Minus odds mean you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit). A favourite has lower odds, lower risk, but also a lower return.
Bet while the match is on — how in-play betting works
In-play or live betting means you can place bets after a match has already started. In cricket, the odds can shift after every wicket, every six or every dot ball — because the situation on the field keeps changing.
Take this example: in a T20, Team A has a low score after 15 overs — at that moment Team B's odds of winning drop (they become the favourite) and Team A's odds rise. That kind of dynamic movement is what makes in-play betting different.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Live odds change very fast — if you take too long to decide, the odds may already have moved.
- When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up and the fielding team's go down.
- If the required run rate is high in the last few overs, the batting team's odds generally improve.
- In Test matches a draw is possible, so there are separate odds for three outcomes.
For those who prefer a live casino game with the same kind of instant results as roulette, European Roulette Pro offers a similar experience.
A few general points to keep in mind when betting on cricket
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following in mind makes for a more organised experience.
-
Stick to a budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend for entertainment. It is wise not to go beyond that limit. -
Understand the market before betting
Rather than placing a large bet on an unfamiliar market, start small and read the rules carefully first. -
Consider multiple markets
Instead of staying only with the match winner, also look at toss, over/under or multi bets. -
Avoid rushing on live odds
Even though odds move quickly in in-play betting, it is better not to make hasty decisions under pressure. -
Follow responsible gaming
Betting is always meant for entertainment. Read wmc's Responsible Gaming guidelines, and anyone under 21 should not participate.
Cricket vs football betting — what is the difference
The main difference between betting on cricket and football is the number of possible outcomes. In T20 and ODI cricket there is usually no draw — one team will win. So the odds are split between two results.
In football, three outcomes are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. That third option changes the odds structure. As a result, the odds for a favourite to win are calculated differently compared to cricket.
Cricket also has far more in-play markets — every ball, every wicket and every over can create a new market. In football, goals, corners, cards and shots tend to dominate the available markets.
