babu88 premium Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
Bet across multiple markets — match winner, toss, top run scorer, and more — on every moment of BPL, IPL, and international cricket. babu88 premium offers special odds and live in-play options for cricket fans.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Each format from T20 to Test has its own characteristics — and those characteristics shape how betting works.
T20
In this 20-over format, the match situation can change in an instant. Major tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format. Things can turn around on any ball, so live odds move fast.
Fast-pacedODI
In this 50-over format, both strategy and patience matter. ODIs are played at the ICC World Cup and in bilateral series. There is more opportunity to read the match mid-innings before making a betting decision.
StrategicTest
In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather, and player consistency all play a role. Markets range from match winner to series score. A draw is a genuine possibility, so you can bet on all three outcomes.
Long-formBPL and IPL
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) are the two most popular T20 tournaments. Interest in betting on Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup is also at its highest.

Popular Betting Markets
Each market in cricket betting has a different structure. Below are the most common markets explained with simple examples.
1 Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two options. Example: if you think Team B will beat Team A, place your bet at Team B's odds.
2 Toss Winner
Predict which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is unrelated to the match result — it is a completely separate market. Example: Team A wins the toss — this stands on its own as a bet.
3 Top Run Scorer
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Each batsman has their own odds. Example: Team A's opener will be the top scorer in the match — odds on this kind of bet tend to be higher.
4 Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs at the end of a specific over or an entire innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will the total runs in the first innings be more than 155 — that is an over/under market.
5 Powerplay Runs
An over/under market based on how many runs a team scores in the first 6 overs (the powerplay). Example: predict whether Team A's powerplay runs will exceed 50.
6 Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet — you need all of them to be correct to win. Example: Team A wins match one, Team B wins match two, and Team A wins match three — combining these three picks multiplies the odds, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
7 Series Winner
A long-term bet on which team will win more matches across the whole series. Odds are higher before the series begins and drop as matches are played. Example: Team B will win a three-match ODI series — this bet settles after the final match.
How to Read Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. The examples below show the same bet expressed in all three.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins (favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply your stake by this number to get your total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | The numerator is profit; the denominator is the stake |
| American | +125 | -125 | Plus means profit on ৳100; minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 |
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,250 — meaning ৳1,250 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back. If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. If Team B wins, total return is ৳1,800 — meaning ৳800 profit. American -125 means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
Keep in mind: The higher the odds on a team, the less likely the market considers them to win — but the return is also higher if they do. Favourites typically have odds between 1.20 and 1.80. Betting is a form of entertainment — always play within your budget. Read our responsible gaming guidelines for more details.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On
Beyond standard pre-match betting, live betting is the most engaging side of cricket betting. You can place bets in real time after the match has started, and odds change with every ball.
Why do odds change when a wicket falls?
If a team loses 3 wickets in one over, the bowling team's chances of winning increase — so the bowling team's odds shorten and the batting team's odds lengthen. Tracking these shifts is important in in-play betting.
What happens as the overs progress?
If the batting team needs 40 runs from a target of 120 with 5 overs left, their odds of winning will drop quickly. The defending team's odds will rise in return. The run rate in each over feeds into this calculation.
What live markets are available?
- Runs in the next over (over/under)
- When the next wicket will fall
- Total runs at the end of the innings
- Total runs in the current partnership
- Runs in the last 5 overs
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand Form and Pitch
A team's recent performance and the pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) can influence betting decisions. That said, remember that anything can happen in cricket.
Set a Budget
Decide on a fixed budget before each session and do not go beyond it. Betting is a form of entertainment — it should not be treated as a way to earn income.
Focus on One Market
Starting out, it is more effective to understand one market well. Begin with whichever feels clearest to you — match winner or over/under.
Track Live Odds
In in-play betting, rather than acting quickly, watch how the odds are moving for a while. Understand the direction of the market before placing your bet.
Bet Easily on Mobile
babu88 premium has Android and iOS apps available through official channels. Betting during a live match is more convenient on mobile.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
In a multi bet, one wrong selection loses the whole bet. More selections mean higher potential returns, but also higher risk. Try to keep it to 2–3 selections.
