Cricket Betting at 456bd — Bet on BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
456bd brings a wide sports betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet on all markets from match winner to top batsman through a simple Bengali interface.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments You Can Bet On
Cricket is played in three main formats — Test, ODI and T20. Each format has a different style of play, so the betting markets differ as well.
T20 is the shortest and fastest format. Each team plays only 20 overs, so the result can shift very quickly. BPL and IPL are played in this format, making it the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI gives each team 50 overs. The strategy shifts considerably between the first and second innings. The ICC World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers international series are mostly played in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is possible, so the markets are different from T20 or ODI. In Test matches, alongside a match winner you also get the option to bet on a tie or draw.
The most talked-about tournaments in Bangladesh are BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup. 456bd offers a wide range of betting markets for all three. Beyond these, you can also bet on Asia Cup and ICC Test Championship matches.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Alongside cricket, 456bd also offers betting on football and several other sports. Each of these sports has its own nature, so the markets are different too.
In a 90-minute football match, three outcomes are possible — home win, away win or draw. This differs from T20 or ODI cricket, where there is no draw. Football offers goals over/under, half-time score and cards markets.
In cricket, every over and wicket can change the situation, whereas in football the odds remain relatively stable until a goal is scored. Sports like badminton or kabaddi have round- or point-based markets, which differ from cricket's over-based markets.
In short, cricket offers the greatest variety of betting options — particularly toss, session runs, wicket type and over-based markets, which set it apart from other sports.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own characteristics. Below are 6 popular markets summarised briefly, useful for both new and experienced bettors.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: if Team A wins, your bet pays out; if Team B wins, your bet is lost.
Simplest marketToss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely 50-50 market.
Before the match startsTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman from which team will score the most runs in the match. Available separately within a team and across the match.
Innings-dependent marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the combined total runs of both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will total runs exceed 330?
Runs-based marketPowerplay Runs
Bet on how many runs a team will score in the first six overs (powerplay). This market is more popular in T20 matches.
More common in T20Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Several selections from multiple matches are combined into one bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds; if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Potential for high returnsDecimal, Fractional and American Odds — What Is the Difference
Odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs. The two examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳1,000 bet)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | A ৳2 stake returns a ৳3 profit |
| American | +150 | ৳1,000 bet returns a profit of ৳1,500 |
If you win, you get back ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (৳1,000 bet)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 |
| Fractional | 4/5 | A ৳5 stake returns a ৳4 profit |
| American | -125 | A stake of 125 is needed to make a profit of 100 |
If Team B wins, you get back ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make a profit of 100.
Multiplying decimal odds directly gives you the total return, which is why many find it the simplest format. At 456bd you can view odds in your preferred format. To learn more about any odds format, look up the question on the FAQ page.
Odds Change When a Wicket Falls — How Live Betting Works
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, every over, every wicket and every big shot directly affects the odds in real time.
Suppose in a T20 match Team A is 80 for 8 after 10 overs — Team A's odds to win will increase sharply, because their chances of winning have dropped. Team B becomes the favourite, so their odds will shorten.
These changes happen in real time. If a batsman hits consecutive fours and sixes in the powerplay, the odds for that batsman in the 'top batsman' market drop quickly. If a bowler bowls consecutive maidens, the under side of the over/under market strengthens.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly because odds are constantly updating. Understand the match situation before placing a bet. Remember, betting is for entertainment — nobody bets with a guarantee of profit.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Start with one market
If you are new, start by betting only on the 'match winner' market. It is straightforward and easy to understand. Betting on many markets at once can create confusion in the beginning.
Set a fixed budget
Betting is entertainment — not a source of income. Decide how much you will bet per session beforehand and stick to that limit. If you join the 456bd VIP programme, you can access VIP benefits and cashback.
Compare odds
Before adding multiple selections to a multi bet, understand the odds for each match carefully. If three selections have odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (roughly) — so a ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all are correct, but if even one is wrong the full ৳100 is lost.
Be patient with live betting
Odds change rapidly while a match is in progress. Rather than betting in a hurry, understand the situation first and then decide. Avoid placing large bets to recover losses after a defeat.
Know the rules
Read the terms and conditions before placing a bet. Knowing the wagering requirements on bonuses, deposit limits and withdrawal rules will save you confusion later.
