omgbd Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, a new opportunity on every ball
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — cricket fans in Bangladesh can now bet on their favourite matches at omgbd. From match winner to live in-play, all markets in one place.
The three cricket formats and which leagues you can bet on
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the three main formats. Each format has a different pace and style of play, so the betting markets behave differently as well.
T20
The fastest format — 20 overs per side. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format. High run rates and dramatic swings make it particularly suited for live betting.
ODI
Each side plays 50 overs. Bangladesh Tigers regularly compete in ICC tournaments in this format. Odds shift at the innings break midway through the match.
Test
Five days of play — cricket's longest format. A draw is a possible result, so betting markets offer three options. Weather and pitch conditions have a significant impact on odds.
Just as BPL excitement draws Dhaka fans to the ground, betting on omgbd keeps viewers more engaged with every moment of the match. The same markets are available for IPL and international matches too.
Like football, cricket has a central match winner market — but since draws are not possible in T20 and ODI, odds are split between two outcomes, which keeps the odds for each side slightly lower compared to football's three-outcome format.
If you are interested in football betting or card games alongside cricket, the Deuces Wild card game market is also available at omgbd.
How betting on football and other sports differs
While cricket betting moves over-by-over, football's main market is the 90-minute match winner — win, draw or loss. A draw is a significant possibility in football, so odds are split three ways, and each option generally carries higher odds than in cricket.
Sports like Kabaddi, tennis or badminton have set-by-set markets. While the markets and rules differ for each sport, the main odds formats — decimal, fractional and American — remain the same across all, as explained in detail below.
For those who want a more immediate experience with a live dealer, the MT Live Casino section is a popular option.
7 popular cricket markets with common examples
In a cricket match, you can bet on far more than just the winner. Here is a brief introduction to seven markets.
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI, odds are split between two teams. Example: Team A at 1.45 and Team B at 2.75.
Most PopularBet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Odds for both sides are usually close to equal.
Pre-MatchBet on which player will score the most runs for their team. Bettors consider the team's batting order and current form.
Player MarketBet on whether the combined runs scored by both teams will be above or below a set number. Example: total runs over or under 335.
Runs MarketCombine bets on three or more matches at once. If all selections are correct, the return is calculated using the combined odds; if any one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
Multiple MatchesBet on who will be named the best player of the match. Odds are higher because you have to pick the right one from many players.
Special MarketAn over/under bet on how many runs one team will score in the first innings. Pitch type and weather play an important role here.
Innings MarketHow to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Betting odds express the same probability in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American (with a + or − sign). A few examples make it clear without any confusion over the numbers.
Live betting during a match — odds shift when a wicket falls
Live in-play betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. Odds change with every wicket, every over and every shift in the score.
Say Team A is 60 for 3 after 10 overs. If Team A's chances of winning have dropped, their odds will lengthen and Team B's odds will shorten. If a bettor had already backed Team B, they now have the option to bet on Team A in-play to balance their risk.
In T20, odds move fastest in the last 5 overs as batters start playing high-risk shots. In Test matches, the gradual deterioration of the pitch and weather influence odds slowly but continuously.
At omgbd, live match odds can be seen in real time in the omgbd bet section, and bets can be placed easily from a mobile device as well.

Some useful habits for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Following a few basic habits keeps the experience more organised.
Set a budget
Before each session, set a limit for yourself. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Focus on one market
Start with match winner or total runs — focus on one of these first. Betting across many markets at once makes things complicated.
Choose markets based on the format
The total runs market is active in T20; in Test, the first innings and pitch conditions carry more weight.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds change fast, so take a moment before making a decision. Increasing your stake on impulse is not a good idea.
