Cricket Betting at tap555 — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From T20 to Test, from BPL to international series — join a range of markets on every match at tap555. Live in-play odds, easy payments and Bengali-language support are always available at tap555.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Competitions
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the betting experience differs across them.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in just twenty overs, so every ball can change the outcome of a bet. Leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format and draw the most attention from Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh national team the Tigers playing in the T20 World Cup always carries a special sense of occasion.
ODI is the fifty-over format — total runs, partnerships and performance in the final ten overs are important here. Test matches last five days, so a draw is possible and the markets work differently. In T20 and ODI the match winner market covers two outcomes, but in Test cricket three outcomes are considered (Team A wins, Team B wins or draw).
Markets for international series such as ICC events and bilateral series are also available on tap555. Cricket betting differs from football and other sports because markets based on wickets, overs and innings offer much more variety.
Popular Markets in Cricket and How They Work
A single match on tap555 offers several types of markets. Each market works differently and calls for a different kind of analysis.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so this is a straightforward two-outcome market. Example: Team A vs Team B — whichever team scores more runs wins.
Toss Winner
The result is known before the match even starts — which team will win the toss. The toss can sometimes influence the match result, especially on pitches where dew falls at night.
Top Batsman
Which player within a team will score the most runs. The team's batting order and pitch conditions are taken into account in this market.
Total Runs — Over/Under
Choose whether the combined total runs scored by both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Pitch conditions and weather have a direct bearing on this market.
Multi Bet
Place three or more bets together on a single slip — if all selections are correct the odds multiply and a larger return is paid out. If even one is wrong the entire bet is lost, so the risk is higher.
Innings Runs and Powerplay
The total runs in the first innings or the number of runs scored in the first six powerplay overs are separate markets. This market is very popular in T20 because the powerplay can turn the course of a match.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Betting sites display three types of odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. tap555 generally uses the decimal format, which is the easiest to read.
The example below shows how the same value looks in all three formats. Suppose Team A will win and the stake is ৳500:
All three formats give the same result — only the way they are written differs. If you lose, the full ৳500 stake is gone.
The favourite team generally has lower odds. Example: Team B is the favourite — odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional and -200 in American. American minus (−) odds show how much you need to stake to earn ৳100 profit. A ৳500 stake returns ৳750 (৳250 profit).
For more detailed questions about betting, see the FAQ page, where various topics are explained in plain language.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections: odds 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximate).
A ৳100 stake returns ৳581 if all three are correct — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
In-Play Odds Shift with Every Wicket and Over
LIVE — In-play betting means placing a bet while the match is in progress. The odds change instantly with every wicket taken or big six hit.
Say Team A has made a strong start in the first powerplay — the odds on Team B winning will lengthen (because they are not ahead). But if three wickets fall in the next over, the odds can flip again. These rapid shifts are what makes in-play betting distinct.
There is less time to decide when betting live. Wickets fallen, runs needed, pitch conditions — all of these need to be considered when placing a bet. Both ODI and T20 in-play markets are available on the tap555 live platform.
tap555 is not limited to cricket — you can also bet on football and other sports. For those who want to enjoy live casino, the Ezugi Live Casino page has live table games from Evolution and Ezugi.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, tap555 also offers betting on football. International football markets include match winner, goalscorer and half-time result. Football has its own kind of tension — one goal in ninety minutes can change everything.
The key difference between the betting structures of cricket and football is the possibility of a draw. Football has a three-way market (Team A wins, draw, Team B wins), whereas T20 cricket has only two possible outcomes. Test cricket brings the draw back into play. Understanding this distinction matters because when odds are split three ways each outcome carries less value than when there are only two.
Markets for kabaddi, badminton and other sports also open depending on the season and event. Each sport has its own rules and market structure — it is worth reviewing these before you start.
For those who want to play slot machines or table games in addition to sports betting, tap555 has that covered too. Popular slot games from PG Soft, Pragmatic Play and JILI are available on the tap555 Slots page.

- No draw in T20/ODI cricket — two outcomes only
- Three outcomes are possible in football
- Cricket has more wicket-based and over-based markets
- In-play is available in both sports
- A draw is possible again in Test cricket
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is an entertainment activity — there is no guarantee of profit. Keeping a few things in mind can make the experience more disciplined.
-
Understand the type of market
Read how each market works before placing a bet. Match winner is straightforward; top batsman or powerplay runs markets are a little more complex. -
Work out your return from decimal odds
Odds × stake = total return. Odds of 2.25 with a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,125 if you win. -
Do not bet on too many markets at once
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk. Start by focusing on one or two markets. -
Set a budget
Keep a separate budget for each session and do not go beyond it. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will give you a clearer idea of how to do this. -
Do not rush in live betting
In-play odds change fast, so understand the match situation before making a decision. -
Follow the 21+ age rule
All betting and casino activity on tap555 is for those aged 21 and above only.
