Cricket Betting at 96c – A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Follow Bangladesh's most popular sport even more closely. From T20 to Test, BPL to the T20 World Cup — 96c offers multiple markets to bet on across every format.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different betting experience. T20 matches wrap up in a few hours, so results come fast and the situation can change every over. ODI cricket gives far more room for strategy across five hours of batting and bowling, with many more markets open across innings. Test cricket offers the longest betting experience, but since a draw is a genuine result, the odds structure differs from T20.
The most popular tournament among Bangladesh fans is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). Every match generates huge interest among local supporters, making BPL the most active betting market on 96c. Markets are also open for IPL, the ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral international series. Bangladesh Tigers matches naturally attract the most attention.
Alongside cricket, football is a major betting market. Since a draw is a separate outcome in football, three main odds are usually offered — home win, draw and away win. In cricket, especially limited-overs formats, there are typically two outcomes, so the odds structure is different. Other sports like kabaddi or badminton follow an even simpler betting structure.
Betting Markets for BPL and International Matches
Popular Betting Markets
96c offers several markets for cricket betting. The cards below give a brief description of each market.
Match Winner
SimplePick which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI, three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, draw). The most straightforward market and a good starting point for beginners.
Toss Bet
T20Bet on which team will win the toss. The result depends entirely on the flip of a coin, making this a purely chance-based market.
Top Batsman
IndividualPick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. This market is popular among experienced bettors as it offers room to differentiate between players.
Total Runs Over/Under
Runs MarketThe bookmaker sets a specific number, such as "160 runs". You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than that number. Pitch and weather conditions play an important role here.
Top Bowler
IndividualPick which bowler will take the most wickets. In T20, death-over bowlers and in ODI, mid-innings spinners — understanding the context helps you make a more informed choice.
Multi Bet
Multiple MatchesCombine bets from multiple matches or events on a single slip. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
How to Read Odds
Betting platforms use three common odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. The same bet on the same team can be written in all three formats, but they are mathematically equivalent.
| Format | Team A (example) | Team B (example) | How to read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply by stake to get total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | First number is profit, second number is stake |
| American | +125 | -125 | + means profit on ৳100 stake; − means stake needed to profit ৳100 |
Example 1 — Team A win (same value in every format):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A winning returns a total of ৳2,250 (i.e. ৳1,250 profit plus the stake back). If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B win:
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B winning returns a total of ৳1,800 (৳800 profit plus the stake back). In American format, the minus sign means the team is the favourite — a ৳125 stake returns ৳100 profit.
The lower the odds number, the more likely that outcome is considered to be — that is all you need to remember. No format guarantees a win; betting is always for entertainment.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Live Betting — Bet While the Match is On
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds update instantly with every wicket, every boundary or at the end of a powerplay. A team that starts the first few overs well will see their odds shorten; a key wicket falling will quickly push up the other team's odds.
In T20, the situation changes fastest during the death overs (16–20). If the chasing team scores 60 runs in 5 overs while pursuing 180, their odds to win drop sharply. In Test matches, live odds move more slowly, but a pitch behaving differently in the afternoon session can bring noticeable changes.
Live betting gives you less time to decide, so avoid placing bets on impulse and always stay within your budget. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is the most important thing.

Multi Bet and Other Sports
How Multi Bet Works
In a multi bet, adding several selections to one slip means each set of odds is multiplied together. If three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. Multi bets are therefore a higher-risk market.
On 96c, multi bets can be built across cricket and football markets alike. You can also combine selections from different sports on the same slip.
Football and Other Sports
The betting structure in football is a little different from cricket — with three possible outcomes (home win, draw, away win), odds are distributed differently. BPL football and international league markets are also active in Bangladesh.
If you want a completely different type of betting outside cricket, esports betting is a fast-growing market where you can bet on tournaments for games like Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Valorant. 96c also offers Aviator-style crash games with a crash bonus.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Set your budget first. Decide before each match how much you are willing to bet. Increasing your stake to recover losses is generally not a good idea.
-
Build skill in one market. Rather than betting across all markets at once, start with one like match winner or over/under.
-
Check pitch and weather conditions. A spin-friendly pitch tends to produce lower scores while a batting pitch produces higher ones — this straightforward observation is useful in over/under markets.
-
Do not rush in live betting. Odds move fast during a match. If you miss one moment, the next opportunity will come — stay patient.
-
Treat it as entertainment. Betting is for enjoyment. No bet comes with a guaranteed return — make sure any losses do not put you under pressure.
-
Take breaks. If you have several losses in a row, stepping away is the better move. 96c provides tools to support responsible betting.
