wicket71 Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL to T20 World Cup at the Best Odds
wicket71 offers cricket bettors in Bangladesh a range of markets including match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under, covering multiple tournaments. You can bet in decimal, fractional or American odds format, with live in-play betting also available.
Cricket formats and tournaments
There are three main formats in cricket betting — T20, ODI and Test. Each format affects the style of play and the available betting markets differently.
A T20 match lasts only a few hours, so odds shift quickly and live betting is much more active. BPL and IPL are the most popular tournaments in this format — both draw strong interest from Bangladeshi fans. The ICC T20 World Cup, held every two years, also brings added activity to the betting market.
In ODI cricket, the longer innings make total runs, partnership and wicket-fall markets more engaging. Bangladesh Tigers ODI series are always a talking point among local bettors.
Test cricket is a completely different experience — in this five-day format, a draw is a valid result, giving you three possible outcomes to bet on. Pitch conditions, weather and the state of the surface on day five can all have a significant impact on the odds.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, wicket71 also offers football betting, with markets available on major leagues and international tournaments.
Football has three possible outcomes — home win, away win and draw. T20 or ODI cricket generally has no draw option, so the odds structure is different. Only in Test cricket does a draw come into play, making it closer to football's 1X2 market.
Handicap and goal over/under markets are particularly popular in football. In cricket, the equivalent would be run over/under and wicket markets. The betting logic differs between the two sports, but the core principle is the same — pick the right outcome and receive a return based on the odds.

Popular betting markets
wicket71 offers a variety of markets for cricket betting. The most commonly used markets are briefly explained below.
| Market | How it works | Example (in words) |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick which of the two teams will win. | Team A vs Team B — you bet on Team B; if Team B wins, you receive a return based on the odds. |
| Toss Betting | Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match begins. | Team A or Team B wins the toss — if the team you chose is correct, you win the bet. |
| Top Batsman | Who will score the most runs in an innings or in the match? | If the batsman you chose scores the most runs, your bet is successful. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Will the total runs scored be more or less than a set number? | The bookmaker sets the line at 160 runs — if you choose "over", you win if the total reaches 161 or more; if it is 159 or fewer, you lose. |
| First Wicket Over | Within how many overs will the first wicket fall? | The line is 5 overs — you chose "under"; if the first wicket falls in the fourth over, you win. |
| Multi-Bet (multiple selections) | Combine multiple matches or markets into one bet — all selections must be correct to win. | The odds of three separate bets are multiplied together to give the total odds — if all three win, the total return is much higher. |
| Man of the Match | Which player will receive the best player award for the match? | You pick an all-rounder — if that player wins the award, your bet wins. |
Understanding odds formats
Betting odds can be displayed in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three represent the same probability expressed differently; the return amount stays the same.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, you receive ৳450 in total (৳250 profit plus your original ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return. Fractional odds of 5/4 mean ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. American "+" odds show the profit on a ৳100 stake.
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳300 if it wins (৳100 profit).
A favourite's decimal odds are always close to 1, while an underdog's odds are higher. Decimal format is the default on wicket71, but you can change it to your preferred format.
Live in-play betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
In-play betting is the most fast-moving way to bet on cricket. While the match is in progress, odds update instantly after every over, every wicket and every big shot.
Say a wicket falls in the first over — the weaker team's odds will lengthen further while the stronger team's shorten. If runs come quickly in the powerplay, the value on the bowling side shifts. If the batting team loses several wickets in the final 10 overs, the over/under market odds also move fast.
Live betting requires a stable internet connection and the ability to make quick decisions. In wicket71's live section, you can follow the score and over-by-over updates before placing your bet. It is a notably different experience from standard pre-match betting.
For easy access on mobile, the wicket71 App takes you directly to the live betting section.
Types of live markets
- Runs in the next over
- When the next wicket will fall
- Current partnership runs
- Final match result
- Multi-bet (including live selections)
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. The tips below help keep your betting experience in order.
- Set a budget — decide how much you want to play with beforehand and stick to that limit.
- Before placing bets on multiple markets in the same match, make sure you understand each one — not all markets work the same way.
- In a multi-bet, if any single selection loses, the entire stake is lost — so keep the number of selections in your multi-bet limited.
- In-play odds in T20 matches move very quickly — take a moment to read the situation rather than placing a bet in a hurry.
- In a Test match, the game can turn at any point over five days — be patient when placing your bets.
