bb 44 Cricket Betting — Best Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's favourite sport. At bb 44 you will find betting markets across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — with live in-play options available for every match.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — the betting experience is quite different across these three formats. T20 lasts only a few hours, so match situations shift quickly every over. ODI requires both strategy and patience across 50 overs. Test matches are a five-day contest — pitch conditions, weather and batting order all need to be factored in.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is the most familiar domestic T20 tournament. Beyond that, IPL is widely popular here as India's T20 league. At the international level, betting on the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Bangladesh Tigers bilateral series takes on a different dimension.
bb 44 offers multiple betting markets for matches in these tournaments, so cricket fans can choose the markets they prefer.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Besides cricket, bb 44 also offers betting on football and several other sports. However, the betting structure for cricket and football is quite different. A football match lasts just 90 minutes with three possible outcomes — win, draw or loss. In limited-overs cricket formats a draw almost never happens, but in Test matches a draw is a normal result.
Football markets include goalscorer, corner count and match handicap, while cricket sees more top batsman, highest wickets and total runs over/under bets. That variety is what makes sports betting interesting.

Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
bb 44 offers quite a few markets for cricket betting. Below, seven popular markets are explained in simple terms.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. If Team A wins, the bet on Team A returns a payout; if Team B wins, the bet on Team B does.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two outcomes — odds for each are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team in the match. You can make your decision by analysing the team's batting lineup.
Total Runs Over/Under
A specific runs line is given — for example 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above or below that number.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Understanding the pitch — whether it suits pace or spin — can be useful when placing this bet.
Multi Bet
Multiple bets from different matches combined together — if every selection wins, the odds multiply and the return increases, but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Man of the Match
Which player will be named man of the match. Both batters and bowlers can receive this award, which makes this bet varied.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Betting sites show three types of odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. The same value is written differently in each format.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳1,000:
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, you get back ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000 stake returned); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite, bet ৳1,000:
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
The decimal format is the easiest — total return is shown directly. Fractional is more common in the British market. In American format, plus (+) means underdog, minus (-) means favourite.
Calculating Multi Bet Odds
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. Three selections — decimal 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 — combined:
Multi Bet Example:
1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximately), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 — but only if all three selections win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
While a multi bet offers higher returns, the risk increases accordingly. Betting is for entertainment — not a guaranteed path to profit.
| Format | Example (Team A) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳1,000 → ৳2,250 returned |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 5 profit for every 4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change During the Match
The most engaging part of cricket betting is live in-play. While the match is on, odds are reset after every wicket, every over and at the end of each powerplay. When the batting team starts hitting freely, the odds for the bowling team go up. When a wicket falls, the batting team's match winner odds shift too.
The total runs over/under market stays very active during in-play. Say 85 runs have come in the first 10 overs — before the second innings begins, a new opportunity opens to bet on the total runs for the full match.
Quick decisions are needed in live betting, as odds keep updating continuously. It is an active and entertaining way to bet.
Tip: Live betting comes with time pressure, so it is better to set your limits beforehand. You will find helpful guidance on this in the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — not a guaranteed path to profit. Keeping a few things in mind makes the experience more enjoyable:
- Pick one format: T20, ODI and Test all move at different paces. Focusing on one format first helps you understand its markets better.
- Start with simple markets: Match winner and toss betting are the most straightforward markets to begin with.
- Set your budget first: Before each betting session, decide your limit — know how much you are willing to stake before you start.
- Be careful with multi bets: Even though returns are higher, the entire bet is lost if one selection loses.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, so making decisions with a clear head is the better approach.
- Use VIP cashback: The bb 44 VIP programme offers weekly cashback — it is given based on net losses.
