lb18 Cricket Betting — T20, ODI and BPL Betting
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now closer than ever. From BPL to the T20 World Cup — place bets at any moment during a match, understand the odds and choose your market.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
For people in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. The love of cricket runs from the streets of Dhaka to the national stadium. lb18 lets you bet on cricket across three main formats.
T20 is the fastest format — each team plays just 20 overs, so the course of a match can change in moments. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, and Bangladeshi bettors show the most interest in T20 matches. The T20 World Cup comes around every two years, and during that period the number of betting markets on lb18 increases noticeably.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs. Matches move at a slower pace than T20, but there is far more room for strategy. ODI betting in ICC tournaments and bilateral series offers a different kind of experience.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is a valid result here, so the betting markets work differently — you can bet on three outcomes, not just win or loss.
BPL and IPL Betting
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 franchise league. Competition between local teams and the presence of overseas players make betting on it more engaging. IPL's scale and high-quality cricket have made it the most-bet league on lb18.
BPL IPL T20 World CupFootball and Other Sports
Football is the second most popular sport in Bangladesh after cricket. lb18 also offers betting markets on the English Premier League, La Liga and international matches. Where cricket can have three outcomes (win, loss, draw), a draw in football is a common result — so the odds structure is different.
Football Tennis BasketballPopular Betting Markets
Betting on cricket at lb18 is not just about picking a winner — there are many types of markets to bet on within a match. Seven popular markets are outlined briefly below.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — choose which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes (Team A or Team B wins), but in Test cricket a draw is also an option. Example: if you pick Team A, your bet wins if Team A wins.
Simple PopularToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known just seconds before play begins, making this a preferred market for those who want a quick outcome. Example: if you bet on Team B to win the toss, your bet wins if Team B wins the toss.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs for their team. Odds in this market are generally higher because there are multiple options. Example: if you bet on Team A's number-three batter to score the most runs, your bet wins if that proves correct at the end of the match.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in a match or innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: if you bet that Team A's innings total will be over 160, your bet wins if Team A scores 160 or more.
Statistics-basedMulti Bet
A multi bet combines bets on several markets into one. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases. However, if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so choose your selections carefully.
High Return Higher RiskHandicap Betting
When there is a gap in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given an artificial advantage to level the playing field for betting. Example: if Team B is given a 20-run advantage, that is added to Team B's actual runs to determine the result — no specific stake or return figure is given here.
StrategicHow to Read and Understand Odds
Before betting on cricket at lb18, it is important to understand odds. Odds are displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. In Bangladesh, decimal format is most commonly used because it is easy to calculate.
All three formats express the same odds in different ways. The example below shows Team A's winning odds as the same number in all three formats:
Team A wins (৳500 stake): Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, total return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + original ৳500 stake returned); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Odds are lower for the favourite. Example: Team B (favourite) wins — Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (the minus sign means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit). On a ৳500 bet, total return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
These figures are examples for illustration only — live odds change over time and are not a guarantee for any specific match.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet During the Match
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. At lb18, this is one of the most popular ways to bet on cricket.
Odds shift with every wicket — when a wicket falls, odds for the batting team shorten and odds for the bowling team lengthen. As overs progress, the run-rate pressure and wicket count combine to keep odds updating every moment.
Example: at the start of the first innings the odds for both teams may be roughly equal, but if Team A loses three wickets inside five overs, the odds naturally shorten in favour of Team B. Catching these shifting moments is what makes live betting appealing.
Keep in mind — in-play markets can close quickly, particularly right after a wicket falls. So there is not much time to make a decision.

What You Should Know Before You Start Betting
- 01 Betting is a form of entertainment — treat it as fun, not as a source of income. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
- 02 Understand the match format. T20 and Test markets are different — a strategy that works in one may not work in the other.
- 03 Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. One wrong selection loses the entire bet — so start with fewer selections while you get used to it.
- 04 Keep your internet connection stable when live betting. If fast-moving odds are missed, it becomes harder to place bets in your preferred market.
- 05 Read the deposit and withdrawal rules first. Bonus wagering requirements and other conditions are set out in detail on the Terms and Conditions page.
- 06 Play responsibly. Betting should not cause stress or problems — for more on this, visit the Responsible Gaming page. Only users aged 21 and above may participate on lb18.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately).
On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections are correct the total return is ৳408. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
These figures are for illustration only — actual odds will vary.
