Cricket Betting at hello — Best Markets from T20 to Test
Bet on every format of BPL, IPL and international cricket. From Match Winner to Top Batsman — all markets in one place, right on your phone.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What Each Means for Betting
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and character. Understanding the differences matters for betting, because the most relevant markets vary from one format to another.
T20 is the fastest format. With the match done in just 20 overs, results come quickly and odds shift fast. BPL is Bangladesh's most popular domestic tournament, with a wide variety of betting markets. IPL matches also carry international-level odds. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup draw special attention across the country.
ODI is a fifty-over match. There is more room for conditions to change mid-innings, so Total Runs and partnership-based markets are more common. Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is a possible result alongside either team winning, so the Match Winner market works differently than in T20 or ODI.
You can also bet at hello on ICC international series, the Champions Trophy and bilateral series. From domestic leagues to the world stage, cricket betting is available throughout the year.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting at hello is the second most popular section among Bangladeshi bettors. Full details on betting for the Premier League, La Liga or local tournaments can be found on the football page.
One key difference in betting strategy between cricket and football is the number of possible results. Football has three — win, loss and draw — so odds on each selection are generally spread a little wider than in T20 cricket. T20 and ODI cricket have only two outcomes (no draw), making markets simpler to read.
hello also offers virtual sports betting, where you can bet on computer-generated matches at any time of day — no need to wait for a real match.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
hello offers several markets for cricket betting. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used ones.
Match Winner
Picking which of the two teams will win is the simplest bet. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A, Team B or Draw).
Toss Winner
Select which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely independent and has no connection to how the match plays out.
Top Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs for a given team. Opener or middle order — the choice is yours.
Total Runs Over/Under
Select whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above (Over) or below (Under) a set number.
Top Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Pacer or spinner — factoring in pitch and weather can make this a more informed bet.
First Over Runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of the match, within a specified range. This market is especially popular in T20 as openers tend to play aggressively from the very first ball.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Pick the results of three or more matches on the same bet slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and your return increases — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
How to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
hello displays odds in three formats. Each expresses the same probability differently — once you understand one, the others are easy to follow.
| Format | Team A Win | Team B Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
Decimal odds are the simplest — they show your total return directly. Odds of 3.00 means you get ৳3 back for every ৳1 bet if you win.
Example 1 (Team A): Decimal odds of 3.00 for Team A to win = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 on a win (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); you lose ৳1,000 if they lose.
Fractional format shows the ratio of profit to stake. 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 bet. In American format, a plus (+) sign shows the profit on a ৳100 bet, while a minus (-) sign shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
Example 2 (Team B, favourite): Odds of 1.80 for Team B to win = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 on a win (৳800 profit). American -125 means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100.
Any decimal odds value above 1.00 means there is a chance to get a return on your bet. The higher the odds, the lower the probability — but the higher the potential return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
In-play or live betting at hello means you can place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every wicket, every big shot or a maiden over can bring an immediate change in odds.
Say Team A loses two wickets in the first five overs of a T20 match — at that moment, the odds on betting against Team A will naturally rise. Conversely, if a batter keeps hitting sixes consistently, the odds on that player winning Top Batsman will shorten.
Runs per over, run rate, remaining wickets and the team score — you need to look at all this information together to make decisions in in-play markets. Live betting moves fast, so odds can change before your bet is confirmed.
Selecting multiple matches in a multi bet increases the potential return, but keep in mind — if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Betting is for entertainment — visit the Responsible Gaming page for guidance on playing responsibly.
Some Useful Points for Cricket Betting
- Understand the format: T20, ODI and Test each have different rules and pace. Before placing a bet, confirm which format the match is — it will make choosing the right market easier.
- Start with one market: If you are a new bettor, focus on the Match Winner market first. Betting on multiple markets at once makes things more complicated.
- Stick to your budget: Decide how much you want to stake before each bet and stay with that decision. Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income.
- Pitch and weather: Rain chances or pitch conditions directly affect Total Runs and bowling markets. This information is especially useful in in-play betting.
- Speed in live betting: Odds in in-play markets change very quickly. Before placing a bet, make sure the odds are still within the range you expected.
- Stay responsible: After a loss, it is better not to place a larger bet to try to recover. Always treat betting as entertainment.
