Cricket Betting at good11 — Bangladesh's preferred platform for T20, ODI and Test
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — bet on all major cricket tournaments and international matches at good11 across multiple markets. Everything from understanding odds to live betting, all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and which tournaments you can bet on
For fans in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. The excitement that builds across the country on days when the Tigers play is now also reflected in online betting. good11 offers cricket betting across three separate formats — T20, ODI and Test.
T20: The shortest and fastest format. Tournaments such as BPL and IPL are played in T20 format. Each innings is only 20 overs, so bet results come quickly and odds shift throughout the match. The T20 World Cup is one of the most popular tournaments among bettors in Bangladesh.
ODI: Fifty-over cricket takes a little longer but is just as engaging. ICC events, bilateral series and major tournaments are largely played in ODI format. Many markets remain open while the match is in progress.
Test: Five-day cricket is the most traditional form of the game. Three outcomes are possible in a Test — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. That third possibility must be kept in mind when placing bets, which makes reading the odds different from T20 or ODI.
Tournaments available for betting: good11 offers betting on BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, ICC Cricket World Cup and various bilateral series. Markets are available at every stage of major tournaments as well as for international matches.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
good11 is not limited to cricket. Football is growing in popularity in Bangladesh too — you can bet on UEFA Champions League, English Premier League and World Cup matches here.
There are some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting. In football, three outcomes are possible — a home win, an away win, or a draw. In T20 or ODI cricket a draw is generally not an option, so the odds are structured differently. In football the score can change in a short time, which means live odds also shift quickly.
Alongside cricket and football, good11 has betting markets for other sports as well. Each sport has its own rules and market structure — it is worth understanding those rules before placing a bet.
Cricket vs football betting — key differences
- In T20/ODI cricket only two outcomes are possible; in football there are three (home, away, draw)
- In Test cricket a draw is possible, so three sets of odds are shown
- In cricket odds shift sharply when a wicket falls; in football when a goal is scored
- The toss is an important separate market in cricket; there is no equivalent in football
- Individual performance markets (top batsman) are more active in cricket
Popular cricket betting markets
The markets below are used most often for cricket betting at good11. Understanding each one makes it easier to decide before placing a bet.
Match Winner
You bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two options — Team A or Team B. Example: Team A odds 1.65, Team B odds 2.30 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,150 if Team B wins (profit ৳650).
T20 ODI TestToss Bet
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss is entirely random, so the odds for both teams are usually about equal. Example: near-equal odds are shown for both Team A and Team B.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
You bet on which batsman in a team will score the most runs. Batting form and pitch conditions matter here. Example: two batsmen from Team A are listed with separate odds — the one with lower odds is considered the favourite.
ODI TestTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs total. You decide whether the actual runs scored will be above that number (over) or below it (under). Example: line 165.5 — if Team A scores 172, the over bet wins; if they score 160, the under bet wins.
T20 ODIMulti Bet
Several selections are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70 give combined odds of 3.57 — a ৳100 stake pays ৳357, but only if all three are correct.
Multi Multiple MatchesHandicap Bet
A virtual advantage is given to the weaker team to reduce the gap between the two sides. The handicap is added or subtracted when determining the result. This brings the odds for both teams closer together.
Pre-Match LiveHow to read odds — three formats
Odds express both the probability of an outcome and the potential return at the same time. At good11, three odds formats are mainly used — Decimal, Fractional and American (Money Line). All three are just different ways of expressing the same calculation.
Say you place ৳500 on Team A to win. The odds could be written as: Decimal 2.50, Fractional 3/2, or American +150 — all three represent the same value. If the bet wins, the return is ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + stake ৳500). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
If Team B is the favourite, their odds might be: Decimal 1.50, Fractional 1/2, American -200. Negative American odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here a ৳500 stake returns ৳750 if the bet wins (profit ৳250).
Decimal odds are the most straightforward for bettors in Bangladesh — multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Fractional odds are more common in European markets, while the American format is mainly used in the United States.
Live betting — how odds change with wickets and overs
In-play or live betting at good11 means odds update after every ball while the match is in progress. It is a completely different experience from standard pre-match betting.
When a wicket falls: The team that loses a key wicket sees its win odds rise immediately (meaning that team is now considered less likely to win). The opposing team's odds drop in response.
Powerplay and final overs: Run rates change quickly during the powerplay overs in a T20 match. If a large number of runs are needed in the last five overs, the batting team's odds rise. If the target looks difficult for the fielding side, their odds fall.
Quick decisions matter: In live betting, odds can change within seconds. It is important to read the market carefully before placing a bet and to stay within your budget.
Alongside live betting, good11 may also offer a betting exchange market, where bettors place bets directly against each other — this is different from standard bookmaker betting.
Keep in mind for live betting
- Confirm the odds before placing your bet
- Place smaller bets rather than one large one at a time
- Make decisions based on how the match is unfolding
- Enjoy it as entertainment — winning is not guaranteed
Practical tips for cricket betting
- Choose your market carefully: Every market has its own rules. The match winner may seem simple, but if you want to bet on handicap or total runs markets, make sure you understand them first.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match. It is sensible to place only a portion of your total budget on any single bet.
- Understand the format before you bet: The market structure for T20 and Test cricket is different. Test matches include a draw option, so there are three sets of odds — keep that in mind when placing bets.
- Avoid too many markets at once: Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Start with one or two selections.
- Betting is entertainment, not a source of income: Cricket betting is for enjoyment — never treat it as a reliable way to earn money. Bet responsibly.
- Read the terms and conditions: Before betting, it is worth reading the terms and conditions once — especially for new users.

Cricket Betting Common Questions
In T20 and ODI, two outcomes are generally possible — one team wins, since draws are rare in these formats. So two sets of odds are shown. In Test cricket, three outcomes are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw — so there are three sets of odds and the possibility of a draw must be factored into your bet.
T20 matches finish quickly, so live odds shift frequently; ODI odds move more slowly; and in Tests the situation keeps changing over five days.
Decimal odds are straightforward — multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Example: odds 2.50, stake ৳500 — total return ৳500 × 2.50 = ৳1,250 (profit ৳750). The original stake is included in that return.
Yes, both BPL and IPL are T20 format tournaments, so the market types are the same — match winner, toss, top batsman, total runs over/under, and so on. However, the number of available markets and the odds values may differ from match to match.
In a multi bet, several selections are combined into one bet. All selections must be correct to win — if even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70 give combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57; a ৳100 stake returns ৳357 if all three are correct. If any one is wrong, the ৳100 is lost.
Yes, with live or in-play betting at good11 you can place bets after a match has already started. Odds update after every over, wicket or run. Since odds change quickly, it is worth checking the odds shown on screen one more time before confirming your bet.
