gold bets Cricket Betting — Bet on all matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most beloved sport. At gold bets, you can bet on dozens of markets in T20, ODI and Test formats — including match winner, toss, top batsman and more — with live in-play options.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats, and the way you bet on each one is different. T20 is the fastest — each team gets only 20 overs, so markets shift with every ball. ODI is played over 50 overs per side, and odds are more stable during the middle of the match. Test series last five days — a draw is a possible result here, so the markets are structured differently.
The tournaments Bangladeshi cricket fans follow most are BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup. Beyond these, bilateral series — especially Bangladesh Tigers matches — generate strong interest in cricket betting markets.
Matches from all these events are available at gold bets. During the BPL season there are often multiple matches per day, and ICC tournaments bring more teams, which adds variety to the markets.
Football and Other Sports
Besides cricket, gold bets also offers football betting. In football you can bet on markets such as goals, half-time result and corner kicks across the full 90 minutes. One key difference from cricket is that in football a draw is a third possible result — which directly affects the betting odds.
In cricket markets, odds change with every over and wicket, much like goals in football. However, because cricket has far more deliveries, live markets are even more active.

Popular Betting Markets
A cricket match has multiple markets. The most common ones are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Who wins the match — Team A or Team B? The simplest market. There is no draw in T20, so choose between two outcomes.
Toss Winner
Which team wins the toss? This is a separate market unrelated to the main match result.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team? The result is not settled until the innings is complete.
Total Runs Over / Under
Whether more or fewer runs will be scored than a specified number. For example: over 50 runs in the first 6 overs — you pick over or under in this market.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets? Any bowler can have a big spell in a T20 match — this is an uncertain but interesting market.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If every selection is correct the return increases, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
In handicap and over/under markets, a line is set for runs or wickets — it is not a calculation of a specific stake or return, but rather a prediction of whether the actual figure will go above or below that line.
How to Read Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information; only the presentation differs.
Example 1 — Odds for an underdog
Team A to win, stake ৳200.
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 |
| American | +125 |
If the bet wins, return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake); if the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for a favourite
Team B to win, stake ৳200.
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 1/4 |
| American | -400 |
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 stake the return is ৳250 (৳50 profit).
gold bets typically displays decimal format, as it is the easiest to understand. For more detail on odds, visit the FAQ section for further questions and answers.
Live In-Play Betting
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called in-play or live betting. It adds a different dimension to cricket, because the situation changes after every wicket.
Say Team A starts well in the first over — their odds will shorten (meaning they become more favoured). On the other hand, if three wickets fall in the powerplay, Team B's odds will shorten. These shifts create opportunities to bet.
In a T20 match where only 14 runs are needed off the last over, the game could go either way, and live odds reflect exactly that. Keep in mind that in-play odds change quickly — if you take too long to decide, the market may close.
When live betting at gold bets, gold bets VIP members receive extra benefits — at higher weekly cashback rates.
Practical Tips for Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more disciplined.
- Set a budget in advance. Decide how much you will stake on each match before it starts. Avoid placing large bets to try to recover losses.
- Focus on one market at a time. For new bettors, the advice is to understand the match winner market first, then gradually move to other markets.
- Be careful with multi bets. Multi bets can offer large returns, but if one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost — factor in that risk accordingly.
- Do not rush in live betting. In-play markets change fast. Make sure you are certain before placing a bet at a particular set of odds.
- Betting is for entertainment. Cricket betting is a way to enjoy the game, not a guaranteed path to profit. See the responsible gaming guidelines for how to play responsibly.
- Know the rules. Have a clear understanding of the betting terms and conditions and the wagering requirements for bonuses. Visit the Terms and Conditions page for details.
