Cricket Betting at tiger — the best experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh
From BPL to the ICC T20 World Cup, ODIs to five-day Tests — bet on every format at tiger, watch live odds, and put your cricket knowledge to use.
The three cricket formats and which tournaments you can bet on
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world — and in Bangladesh it means something deeper. At tiger you can bet on three main formats: T20, ODI, and Test.
T20 is the fastest format — just 20 overs per side. Matches finish in a few hours, which keeps betting markets very active. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL (Indian Premier League), and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular among Bangladeshi cricket fans.
ODI format gives each side 50 overs, making matches longer and raising the importance of strategy. ODI betting carries special weight in major series like the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Test cricket is a five-day format — a draw is a valid result here, which makes the betting markets far more varied. Pitch conditions, weather, and the type of surface all play an important role.
Betting on football and other sports alongside cricket
tiger does not stop at cricket — you can also bet on football, tennis, badminton, and more. However, there are some differences between cricket and football betting worth understanding.
In limited-overs cricket there is no draw — either Team A wins or Team B wins, so markets are usually split two ways. In Tests, a draw is a valid result, so there are three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw.
In football, a draw is possible in almost every competition, so the 1X2 market is standard. Asian Handicap and goals over/under markets are also very common in football.

Popular cricket betting markets — how to place your bets
All of the markets below are available at tiger. The key idea behind each one is explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Simplest marketPick which of the two teams will win. In T20 or ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. In Tests, Draw is also an option. This is the best starting point for beginners.
Toss Betting
Specific outcomePredict which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss result is independent of everything else in the match — coincidental as it may be, it is its own separate market.
Top Batsman
Skill-based betPick which player will score the most runs for a given team. Considering a specific player's form and the pitch conditions makes it easier to make a well-informed decision in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Score-basedChoose whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number — for example, whether Team A's total runs will go above 165.
First Wicket to Fall
Start of the inningsBet on the score at which the first wicket of the innings will fall. The openers' form and pitch behaviour play a big role here — this is one of the markets preferred by experienced bettors.
Multi Bet
Multiple selectionsCombine the results of several matches in a single bet — the odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the potential return is higher. However, if even one selection is wrong, you lose the entire bet.
How to read and understand odds — three formats
Betting odds are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs. See the table below:
| Format | Team A odds | Outcome on a ৳200 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | If you win, you get ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if you lose, you lose ৳200 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Same outcome — ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | Same outcome — a plus sign means how much profit a ৳100 bet returns |
Example 1 (underdog odds): Team A to win — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳600 if Team A wins (including ৳400 profit). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 (favourite odds): Team B to win — decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. A minus sign in American odds means how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳250 if Team B wins (৳50 profit).
tiger generally displays decimal format as it is the easiest to calculate. With decimal odds, multiply the odds by your stake — that gives you the total return (including your original stake).
Multi bet example
A bet across three matches at once — decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70, and 1.90.
A ৳100 bet returns ৳452 if all three win.
If even one loses, you lose the full ৳100 — so it is important to be confident about every selection in a multi bet.
Team names here are used as examples only (Team A / Team B) — these are not odds from any specific match.
Live in-play betting — odds change after every wicket
Live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress — this is especially engaging for cricket, because odds update instantly after every wicket falls or a big six is hit.
Say Team A has lost three wickets in the first powerplay — their odds of winning will lengthen because the situation has turned against them. Conversely, if Team B scores 100 runs in just 8 overs, their odds will shorten.
In live betting you need to make decisions quickly because odds are constantly updating. tiger's live in-play interface works smoothly on mobile too, so you can bet even while watching from the stands.

Some useful advice for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — the tips below will help you keep your betting organised.
- Understand the format before you bet: T20 and Test markets are not the same. Powerplay performance matters in T20; watch how the pitch behaves in Tests.
- Set a separate budget: Decide on a fixed amount for betting that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
- Focus on one market: Start by understanding one market well (such as match winner) before moving on to others.
- Base decisions on information, not emotion: It is natural to want your favourite team to win, but look at statistics and form when making betting decisions.
- Be patient in live betting: Read the match situation carefully before deciding. Rather than placing a large bet suddenly, start with small bets to see how live betting works.
- Keep multi bets small: Adding too many selections means a single wrong pick loses the whole bet. Limiting yourself to two or three selections is safer.
- Bet responsibly: Betting is entirely for entertainment. Avoid placing bigger bets to try to recover money you have already lost.
- Take regular breaks: Avoid betting for long stretches without a break. Learn about our responsible gaming policy.
