Cricket Betting at ludo bd — Online Betting from T20 to Test
Bet on every BPL, IPL and international cricket match — match winner, top batsman, over/under, live in-play and more, all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The first thing to understand about cricket betting is the difference between formats. A T20 match lasts just a few hours — results come quickly and markets shift fast. ODI (one-day matches) are mid-length, where the situation can change considerably between innings. Test cricket runs five days — pitch behaviour, weather, and a team's batting depth all play a much bigger role.
For Bangladesh's cricket fans, the BPL holds a special appeal. Betting while watching familiar faces play in the domestic franchise league is a different experience. Alongside that, IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC Championship matches are also available at ludo bd. Markets are available for the Bangladesh Tigers' matches in international series too.
The strategy for betting differs across formats — what is straightforward in T20 becomes more complex in Test. Start with the format you know best and treat betting as entertainment.
T20
The fastest-moving format. Odds change every over, and live betting offers the most opportunities.
ODI
Strategy matters more in a 50-over match. Run rate and wickets can be assessed together through the middle overs.
Test
A five-day contest. Markets need to be analysed with pitch reports, weather, and team form all taken into account.
Football and Other Sports alongside Cricket
Cricket is the main draw at ludo bd, but football is also popular among Bangladeshi bettors. Markets are available for Premier League, La Liga, and Champions League matches. Football includes a draw as a separate market — in limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so you choose between two outcomes.
Markets may also be available for tennis, kabaddi, badminton, and other sports, though the number of markets for other sports is generally fewer than for cricket. A single cricket match can have a dozen or more markets — match winner, toss, top batsman, highest-scoring over — whereas football primarily offers match winner, scoreline, and markets like corners or cards.
Beyond sports betting, ludo bd also has an extensive casino section. ludo bd Casino offers a range of options from live casino and slots to fishing games.
Popular Betting Markets — Where to Bet in Cricket
A cricket match has several types of markets. Each has its own characteristics — six of the main ones are summarised below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. In T20, choose between Team A or Team B.
Most PopularToss Winner
A separate market before the match starts. The probability of winning the toss is equal for both teams, so the odds are usually close.
Pre-match MarketTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for a given team — that is this market. Focusing on an individual player's performance is key.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether runs scored will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — this market depends heavily on pitch and wicket conditions.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into one bet. If all selections are correct the total return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire stake is lost.
Multiple MarketsNext Wicket
In which over or off which bowler the next wicket will fall — this type of market in live in-play betting gives a distinct feel.
Live MarketHow to Read and Understand Odds
Three odds formats appear most often in cricket betting — decimal, fractional, and American. With a little practice all three are easy to read.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Odds for Team B to Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Team A's winning odds: decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. On a ৳500 bet, a win returns a total of ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); a loss means ৳500 is gone.
Team B is the favourite — decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American −125 (the minus sign shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100). On a ৳500 bet, a win returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
In American format, plus (+) means underdog and minus (−) means favourite. Decimal format is the simplest — multiply the stake by the odds and you get the total return directly.
Multi Bet Calculation
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. For example — if three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.90:
1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three are correct the return is ৳399. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.

Cricket Match Winner Example
In a limited-overs match, Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's odds are 2.00. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit); if Team A wins, ৳500 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match Is On
Live or in-play betting is the option to place bets after a match has already started. Odds update instantly when each wicket falls. If a team loses three wickets in the first five overs, their odds of winning the match rise quickly — meaning a comeback is considered less likely.
After the powerplay, many bettors assess markets by looking at the run rate. In the middle overs, if a team's run rate drops well below the required rate or a key wicket falls, that influences the market. In the death overs, odds can shift on every ball depending on the batter's form and the bowling situation.
On ludo bd's live betting interface, score and over updates are visible together, which helps with decision-making. Keep in mind though — odds in in-play markets change very quickly, so stay calm and bet within your limits.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Here are some points on how experienced players enjoy betting as entertainment.
- Set a budget beforehand. Decide how much you will put in each session before you start. Chasing losses by placing more bets can make things worse.
- Focus on one format. Get a good understanding of T20 rules first, then move to ODI or Test. Trying to cover everything at once can lead to confusion.
- Choose an odds format. Decimal odds are generally the easiest — once you are used to them, calculating returns is straightforward.
- Be careful with multi bets. Returns are higher with multi bets, but one wrong selection loses the whole stake. It is better not to combine more than two selections when starting out.
- Do not rush in live betting. Odds change fast, so make decisions based on the situation rather than acting on impulse.
- Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Enjoy cricket betting as part of the game. It is not realistic to expect a guaranteed profit.
