won Cricket Betting — Complete Betting Guide for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From match winner to top batsman across T20, ODI and Test cricket — at won, odds change with every ball and new opportunities come with every over.
Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Tournaments
Betting works differently across each of cricket's three formats. T20 matches last only a few hours — the equation can change with every ball. T20 betting is most popular in leagues like BPL and IPL, because results come quickly and markets refresh during frequent breaks.
ODI format gives each side 50 overs in a single day. Strategy matters more here — the first innings score, pitch behaviour and weather all influence betting decisions. ODI betting peaks during international ODI series, the ICC Champions Trophy and the World Cup.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. A draw is a possible result here, so markets run with three options. At won, all three formats are available for every international series featuring Bangladesh Tigers.
From the grounds of Dhaka to Lord's — for cricket-loving Bangladeshis, won is the one place where everything from BPL to the T20 World Cup is available under one roof.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football is also quite popular at won. However, there are some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting.
Football typically has three possible outcomes — the home team wins, the away team wins, or a draw. Odds are arranged accordingly. T20 cricket has no draw, so odds are more clearly divided between two options.
Tennis and badminton have set-by-set markets, with odds changing after each set. In sports like table tennis or carrom, matches are much shorter, so live betting moves faster.
The key point is that every sport has its own rhythm. Over-by-over in cricket, half-by-half in football — live markets at won stay active throughout each of these rhythms.
Always enjoy gambling or betting as a form of entertainment. Read the Responsible Gaming page to learn more about betting responsibly.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Each market has its own appeal — at won, you can bet not just on the match result but on the outcome of a single ball.
Match Winner
The core question: which team will win the match. Team A vs Team B — pick either option. The easiest and most played market in T20.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. No need to consider the pace of play or the pitch — a pure fifty-fifty chance.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match? This market is available separately for both Team A and Team B.
Total Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in the match be above or below a set number — that is what this market is about. For example: "Will total runs exceed 320?" — yes or no.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? On a spin-friendly pitch, choosing between a spinner and a pacer is the main appeal of this market.
Multi Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. Adding three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80 gives combined odds of 3.78 — returning ৳378 on ৳100, but only if all three are correct.
Handicap and innings betting
In handicap betting, one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage on paper to level the contest. For example, giving Team A a +30 run handicap means that even if Team A scores 30 fewer runs, they are considered equal in betting terms. In innings betting, you predict the total runs scored up to a specific over.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Betting odds are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. Each expresses the same probability, just written differently.
Decimal odds are the simplest. Multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return. Example: Team A's odds of winning are 2.50, stake ৳500 — if you win, total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + original ৳500). If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Fractional odds are written in British style. A decimal of 2.50 is the same as 3/2 fractional. The numerator is the profit, the denominator is the stake — ৳750 profit on a ৳500 bet.
American odds work a little differently. +150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign means underdog). -400 means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit (minus sign means favourite).
Example: Team B's odds of winning are 1.25 in decimal, 1/4 in fractional and -400 in American. Total return on a ৳500 bet is ৳625 (৳125 profit).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
| Total return on a ৳500 bet | ৳1,250 | ৳625 |
| Profit | ৳750 | ৳125 |
The figures above are examples only — they are not live odds or a promise for any specific match.

Live In-Play Betting — New Odds With Every Ball
In-play or live betting is a natural fit for cricket. Every over in cricket is a new chapter — odds shift when a wicket falls, a big six pushes up the run rate, and rain brings in the Duckworth-Lewis method.
During live betting at won, the following factors influence odds:
- A wicket falling — odds lengthen for the batting team
- A dot ball over — shifts in favour of the bowling team
- A big score in the powerplay — boosts confidence for the chasing team
- Target within reach in the final over — odds are neck and neck for both sides
Betting while watching a live match is a completely different experience. Keep in mind though, live odds change fast — delay even slightly and the market may already be closed.
Useful Betting Tips
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will put into betting each week. Never bet more than that budget. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
Know one match well
Understanding the pitch report, weather and a team's current form makes betting more meaningful. Rather than placing bets on many matches at once, focus on one or two.
Compare odds
Odds differ across markets for the same match. Match winner vs toss vs top batsman — understand where your analysis is strongest.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer a higher potential return, but if any selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For new bettors, it is better to start with one or two selections.

Betting Exchange — A Guide to Understanding BACK and LAY
Regular betting and betting exchange are two different things. In an exchange, you can bet not just against the platform but also against other bettors.
BACK bet means betting in favour of a team winning. If you BACK Team A with ৳500 at decimal odds of 1.80 — you earn ৳400 profit if Team A wins (minus commission); you lose ৳500 if they lose.
LAY bet means betting on a team to lose — you are standing opposite the BACK bettor for that team. If you LAY Team A at ৳500 on the bettor's stake — you earn ৳500 profit if Team A does not win (minus commission); if they do win, you owe ৳400 in liability.
Exchange betting is more complex and requires more responsibility. Find answers to more betting questions on won's FAQ page.
