Cricket Betting at vs555 — Bet on All Formats from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Follow every moment of cricket more closely — from match winner to live in-play, all types of markets are in one place at vs555.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
For people in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. The BPL season brings the country alive, and watching IPL and ICC T20 World Cup matches late into the night feels like a celebration. vs555 has made cricket betting straightforward, easy to understand and enjoyable.
Cricket has three main formats — and the way you bet on each one is different:
T20 is the fastest format — matches finish in just 20 overs, so bet results come quickly too. BPL and IPL are T20 tournaments, making this the best starting point for new bettors. ODI, or One Day International, is played over 50 overs, giving more room to shift strategy mid-match and offering a wider variety of markets. Test cricket is a five-day contest — a draw is a valid result, so you can bet on three possible outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins or the match is drawn. Football and most other sports usually have two outcomes — Test cricket is different in this regard and odds are divided accordingly.
Betting interest naturally picks up when the Tigers (Bangladesh national team) play in international matches. vs555 also offers markets on matches between other teams in ICC tournaments such as the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup.
Compared to football, cricket produces far more over-by-over data that can be analysed — pitch conditions, weather, and the toss result all affect the markets. In football, the number of goals in 90 minutes is low so odds do not shift as sharply, whereas in cricket the live odds update immediately after every wicket or boundary.
Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match — the simplest and most common market. In T20 there is no draw, so there are just two options: Team A or Team B.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on who wins the toss before the match starts. The result is known very quickly, and the toss becomes more significant depending on the pitch and weather.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the full match — this market requires focus on individual performance.
Skill MarketOver/Under Total Runs
Bet on whether total runs in the whole match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — for example, more or fewer than 160 runs in a T20.
AnalyticalMulti Bet
Combine the outcomes of multiple matches or markets into a single bet — if all selections are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
High ReturnHandicap and Over Betting
A market is created by giving one team a virtual run advantage or disadvantage, keeping the odds for both sides close. How many runs will be scored in a specific over is also a separate market.
StrategicHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting platforms display three types of odds formats: decimal, fractional and American. Decimal format is the easiest on vs555 because you only need to multiply to work out your return.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats:
৳1,000 is placed on Team A to win. Odds: decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, the total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — odds for the favourite:
Team B is the favourite, odds decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds mean you need to stake 125 to make a profit of 100. On a ৳1,000 bet the return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
| Format | How it is written | How to calculate the return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Stake × (numerator ÷ denominator) = profit |
| American + | +150 | That number is the profit on a stake of 100 |
| American − | -125 | That number is the stake needed to make a profit of 100 |
Multi Bet and Cricket Match Winner — with Examples
Cricket match winner example
In a limited-overs match, Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's odds are 2.00. ৳1,000 is placed on Team B. If Team B wins, the total return is ৳2,000 (৳1,000 profit). If Team A wins, ৳1,000 is lost. There is no draw in a T20 match, so this is a straightforward two-outcome market.
Multi bet example
Three separate selections combined into a multi bet: odds 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80. The combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all selections are correct the return is ৳459. But if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost — keep this risk in mind before placing a multi bet.

Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with the Rhythm of the Game
In-play betting is the most dynamic cricket betting experience. The odds that were available before the match change the moment the first wicket falls. When an established batter is dismissed, the odds shift quickly because the next batter's contribution is uncertain.
As overs progress, the pressure of the run rate changes. If 60 runs are needed off the last five overs the odds move one way; if only 30 are needed they move the other. When a rain interruption revises the target under the Duckworth-Lewis method, in-play markets are updated to reflect the new target.
Decisions in live markets need to be made quickly, so staying focused matters. In the vs555 live betting section you can check over-by-over match data before choosing a market. Always treat betting as entertainment — planning to profit by placing large stakes is the wrong approach.
Practical Points on Cricket Betting — Keep These in Mind Before You Start
-
Understand the format first. T20, ODI and Test all have different markets. The toss matters more in T20; pitch conditions and five days of weather matter more in Test.
-
Focus on one market to begin with. Start with match winner or over/under — whichever you understand better. Jumping into multiple markets at once increases the chance of mistakes.
-
Set a budget. Decide how much you can afford to lose and stick to that amount. Betting is entertainment; treating it as a source of income raises the risk of loss.
-
Be careful with multi bets. The return is higher but so is the risk. One wrong selection wipes the whole bet — start with fewer selections.
-
Do not make emotional decisions in live betting. The temptation to place a large bet right after a wicket falls is real. Take a moment to assess the situation before acting.
-
Know the responsible gaming rules. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits — vs555 provides all the support you need.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, vs555 offers betting on football and several other sports. Football typically has three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw — and over/under goals is a popular market. Compared to cricket, football in-play odds change less frequently because the chance of a score change each minute is lower.

Football and Other Sports Betting
Outside cricket, football is one of the most watched sports in Bangladesh. At vs555 you can find match winner, over/under goals and both teams to score markets for European leagues and international tournaments.
In a 90-minute football match the chances of a goal are limited, so a draw is always possible. Without over-by-over statistics like cricket, football in-play odds update less frequently — though they do move quickly when a goal is scored.
vs555 also offers markets on badminton, tennis and basketball, among other sports. Once you understand the pace and market structure of a particular sport, betting on it becomes much more enjoyable. Unlike slot games, where results are instant, sports betting is a place where knowledge of the sport is genuinely useful.
