pip Cricket Betting — Best Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Betting on cricket, Bangladesh's most popular sport, is now easier than ever. From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC tournaments — pip offers detailed markets for every format.
Three formats, three different betting experiences
Every cricket format is different — the pace of play, strategy and betting opportunities all vary. Bangladesh fans follow all formats, but T20 is currently at its peak in popularity.
T20 Cricket
The fastest format — big action in 20 overs, with the situation changing on every ball. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Best suited for live betting.
ODI (One-Day Match)
A 50-over match combining patience and strategy. ODI cricket is played at the ICC Cricket World Cup and in bilateral series. Total runs markets are most widely discussed here.
Test Cricket
A five-day long examination — the range of betting opportunities here is much wider. A match can end in a draw, so the match winner market has three outcomes.
BPL, IPL and International Tournaments
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League)
The Bangladesh Premier League is the country's biggest T20 tournament. Teams from Dhaka and other cities compete here. This tournament holds a special place in the hearts of Bangladesh fans.
T20 Format Domestic TournamentIPL
The Indian Premier League is hugely popular across the subcontinent. With world-class players taking part, this T20 league attracts enormous attention every year.
T20 Format Subcontinent LeagueInternational Matches
Bangladesh Tigers matches at the ICC T20 World Cup, Cricket World Cup and bilateral series always attract extra attention. Betting markets are also available for Test and ODI series.
ICC Tournaments All FormatsFootball and other sports markets
Alongside cricket, pip also offers betting on football. However, there are some differences between cricket and football markets. Cricket has toss, batsman performance and over-based markets that football does not. In football, match winner, goalscorer and half-time result markets are more common.
Since a cricket match can last anywhere from a few hours to five days, there are far more live betting opportunities. A football match is only ninety minutes, so live betting moves quickly.
If you are interested in simulated sports, virtual sports betting lets you place bets at any time without waiting for a live match.
Cricket's 7 popular markets
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20 and ODI, three in Test (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw).
All FormatsToss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely independent — you can take part in this market without any cricket knowledge.
T20 / ODI / TestTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs in an innings. You choose a batsman from within the team for this market.
Innings-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above or below a set number. Example: "Will Team A's total runs be over 170?" — this type of market.
Over/UnderTop Wicket Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pace bowler versus spinner — the nature of the pitch plays an important role here.
Bowling MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Bets)
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. You can only win if all selections are correct — one wrong selection loses the entire bet. However, the potential winnings are much higher.
Multiple SelectionsMulti Bet Example
Say you place three bets across three different matches — decimal odds 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80. The combined odds would be 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three selections are correct, you get back ৳428. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets are fine for entertainment — do not treat them as a reliable source of income.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Three types of odds formats appear on betting sites. They all express the same probability in different ways. pip generally uses the decimal format, but it is useful to understand the other two as well.
| Format | Team A to win (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 wagered |
| American | +125 | Plus sign: ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Same bet in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳500)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125 — all three are the same value. A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + original ৳500 stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Favourite team's odds (Team B, stake ৳500)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If Team B wins on a ৳500 stake, you get back ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — in-play betting
Live cricket betting is more dynamic than any other sport. When a wicket falls, the balance of the match shifts instantly, and the odds adjust at that very moment.
In T20, odds fluctuate most during the powerplay and death overs. In ODI, a mid-innings shift in momentum creates new opportunities. In Test cricket, markets vary by session.
In-play betting requires fast decisions. Before placing any bet, be clear about how much risk you are willing to take. Betting is always for entertainment — never treat any bet as a certain win.
Live betting is even easier on the pip App — available on both Android and iOS through official channels.
Things to keep in mind for cricket betting
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
Learn one market well
Start with straightforward markets like match winner or toss winner. There is no need to confuse yourself with too many markets at once.
Stay alert in live betting
Odds change quickly in live betting. Rather than making snap decisions driven by emotion, think with a clear head.
Betting is entertainment, not a business
Cricket betting should not be seen as a regular source of income. It is a form of entertainment — keep the mindset that losses are part of it.
