Cricket Betting at daras — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Betting opportunities across every format from T20 to Test, live in-play markets and straightforward payments — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting Culture
T20
The game can turn around within twenty minutes in this format. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most followed by cricket fans in Bangladesh. Conditions change with every over, which is why live markets stay the most active here.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI
Strategy matters most in the fifty-over one-day format. Bangladesh Tigers have established themselves as a strong side in this format. ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup matches offer the widest range of markets.
ODI WC ICC Asia CupTest
Five-day Test cricket combines patience and strategy. Because a draw is possible, you can bet on three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Long-duration markets are especially significant here.
Test Cricket Draw BetIn Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. During the BPL season, people across the country get behind their local teams, and during IPL, Indian franchise matches are followed with equal enthusiasm. daras turns that enthusiasm into a structured betting experience — a clean interface, clear markets and support in Bengali.
Alongside cricket betting, daras Bet also lets you bet on football, tennis and other sports.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
Cricket is a game where a single wicket can change the entire tempo of a match. In live betting, those shifts are reflected directly in the odds. When a batting team loses five wickets, their odds of winning lengthen — meaning lower probability translates to a bigger potential return.
Similarly, when runs come quickly in the powerplay or a match gets tight in the final over, markets update actively. Some popular options in live markets include:
- Runs in the next over (more/less)
- At what score the next wicket will fall
- Score at the end of a specific over
- Match winner — with continuously updated odds
You have less time to decide in live betting, so understanding the markets well is important. It is a form of entertainment — it is better not to bet without thinking it through.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own characteristics — below are seven main markets with simple examples.
Match Winner
Picking which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, place your bet on them.
SimplestToss Betting
Predicting which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely luck-based, so odds are usually roughly equal on both sides.
Popular in T20Top Batsman
Picking which batter will score the most runs for their team. The result is known at the end of the innings; the mid-innings situation matters.
Common in ODIsTotal Runs — Over/Under
Choosing whether the runs scored in an innings or across the full match will be above or below a set line. Example: whether the first innings will produce more than 165 runs.
Handicap MarketMulti Bet
Combining the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is bigger, but one wrong pick means losing the entire bet.
Higher RiskTop Bowler
Predicting which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and weather play a role here. This market gets particular attention in Test matches.
Important in TestsHow to Read and Understand Odds
Odds in betting are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. Below is an example that explains the whole thing.
| Format | If Team A wins | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2.25 returned per ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳4 bet → ৳5 profit |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1: Odds for Team A to win are 2.25 (decimal) / 5/4 (fractional) / +125 (American) — all three are the same odds. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Now see what the favourite's odds look like. The favourite always has lower odds — because a higher chance of winning means a smaller return.
Example 2: Team B is the favourite — odds 1.25 (decimal) / 1/4 (fractional) / -400 (American). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳250 (only ৳50 profit).
How odds combine in a multi bet
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. If three matches have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three are correct — but if any one is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
Odds figures are not a guarantee of profit — they are a mathematical expression of probability. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
After cricket, football is the most talked-about sport in Bangladesh. There is a strong following among Bangladeshi fans for the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup.
The betting structure for cricket and football is different. Cricket has over-by-over markets; football more commonly features half-time score, correct score and both teams to score/not score markets. Test cricket has three possible outcomes (win, loss, draw) — as does football; T20 or ODI matches generally have only two outcomes.
Betting markets are also available for basketball, tennis and volleyball. A bettor who understands the format of a given sport tends to know its markets better.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand one market well first
Rather than betting across all markets at once, get a solid understanding of one — such as match winner — before trying the others.
Set your budget beforehand
Decide how much you will stake on each match before it starts. It is best not to exceed that limit even after a win.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer bigger returns, but every selection has to be correct. It is one option for entertainment, not a reliable path to steady income.
Read the terms and conditions
Reading the terms and conditions before placing a bet saves confusion later.
Keep entertainment as the goal
Cricket betting is one way to add to the enjoyment of the game. If things are not going your way, take a break rather than increasing your stakes to chase losses.
