mcw asian Cricket Betting — BPL to T20 World Cup the best betting experience
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. At mcw asian you can bet on every moment of a match — from the toss to the final-ball wicket — across a range of markets. Betting is available for all three formats: T20, ODI and Test.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
There are three main cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each has its own pace and character, and the betting markets for each are structured differently.
T20 is the fastest format — the match is completed in just twenty overs, so the situation can change with every ball. Betting on T20 matches in BPL and IPL is particularly popular among Bangladeshi fans.
In ODI cricket, strategy plays a major role across fifty overs. ODI betting markets are quite extensive in tournaments like the ICC World Cup or Asia Cup.
Test cricket is a five-day game — it also has session-based markets and specialist bets such as runs at the end of a day's play or wickets in an innings. Bangladeshi bettors naturally show the most interest in the Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches.
BPL
The domestic T20 league. Betting markets are most active during matches featuring Bangladeshi teams each season.
T20 DomesticIPL
India's IPL is hugely popular in Bangladesh. A wide range of betting options is available for every match.
T20 InternationalT20 World Cup
Market activity is highest for Bangladesh Tigers matches at the ICC T20 World Cup.
T20 ICCFootball and Other Sports Betting
Football is also very popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. mcw asian offers betting on tournaments such as the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
In football, a draw is a separate outcome, which makes the market different from cricket. In T20 and ODI cricket, the result is usually limited to a win or a loss, while a draw is also possible in Test cricket. In football, all three outcomes — home win, away win and draw — are available in the same market, so the distribution of odds is different as well.
Tennis betting also has its own characteristics — set-by-set markets, game handicaps and live match betting set it apart. Full details about this format are available on the mcw asian Tennis Betting page.
Before betting on cricket, football or any other sport, it is important to have a clear understanding of the rules and markets for that sport. Betting is entertainment — keep that in mind with every bet you place.
Popular Betting Markets
The markets below are the most commonly used in cricket betting. A brief explanation of each is given below.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. The simplest and most popular market in T20 and ODI cricket. Example: if Team A wins the bet pays out; if Team B wins the bet is lost.
All FormatsToss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Odds are usually close to even. Example: choose either Team A or Team B from the two available options.
T20 / ODITop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or in the match. Odds are given for multiple players. Example: the bet pays out if the chosen player finishes as the top scorer.
All FormatsTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in the match or innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: whether total runs in an innings will be more than 160.
T20 / ODITop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. This market is more extensive in Test matches. Example: the bet pays out if the chosen bowler takes the most wickets.
Test / ODIMulti Bet
A single bet combining selections from multiple matches. If all selections are correct, you receive a larger return — but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multi BetHow to Read Odds
Odds are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three mean the same thing; only the way they are expressed differs.
The Same Odds in Three Ways
Say odds are given for Team A to win. In decimal format that is 2.25, in fractional it is 5/4, and in American it is +125. All three express the same value.
If you stake ৳200 and Team A wins: total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Favourite's Odds
The favourite's odds are generally lower. Say Team B's odds to win are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional, and -200 in American.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here, a ৳200 stake on Team B to win gives a total return of ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Multi Bet Example
If all three selections are correct on a ৳100 stake, the return is ৳428. But if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting
Live betting or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is already in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging — odds shift after every wicket, every boundary and at the end of each over.
For example, if the batting team is in a strong position after the first 10 overs, their odds in the match winner market will shorten. Then if two wickets fall in quick succession, the situation changes and the odds are revised rapidly.
Markets commonly available in live betting:
- At what score will the next wicket fall
- Total runs in the next over — over/under
- Score after a specific over
- Current match winner
- Runs in the final over
Live betting requires quick decisions, as markets can be suspended for a few seconds at a time. Find out more about live markets at mcw asian Bet.
