Cricket Betting at volet — All Matches from BPL to the T20 World Cup
volet brings cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet on T20, ODI and Test matches. From the BPL and IPL seasons to ICC tournaments — pick from multiple markets in every match and follow live odds.
Cricket Formats and Competitions Available for Betting
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format is different from a betting perspective. T20 matches are fast-paced — they finish in just a few hours, so odds change quickly. ODI gives you 50 overs of play and a bit more time, with momentum potentially shifting mid-match. Test matches are played over five days — a draw is possible, so there are three-result markets here.
Bangladeshi fans are naturally most interested in the BPL. This franchise league opens up many betting markets for every match. volet also offers betting on the IPL and T20 World Cup. Markets are available for Bangladesh national team — the Tigers — in their international matches too.
For major ICC tournaments — the T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy or World Test Championship — the number of betting markets is much larger and the odds are more competitive.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at volet. Football matches are usually decided within 90 minutes — win, loss or draw. A single goal can change the entire direction of a match, so quick decisions are needed in live markets.
In cricket, combining runs, wickets and overs means there are far more markets available — it is possible to bet on more than ten different markets in a single match. Football's core markets are simpler, though there is variety in goal line and handicap markets.
Sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi have comparatively fewer markets, but the pace at which odds shift during a match is no slower. volet lets you enjoy betting across all formats as entertainment.
7 Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
Each market has its own rules. Below is a brief introduction to seven markets — with a simple example for each.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. Example: if you back Team A and they do win, you receive a return based on the set odds.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the coin toss. The toss result has nothing to do with the game itself — it depends entirely on the flip of a coin. It is a simple two-outcome market, so the odds are usually close to even.
Top Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs for a specific team. Odds are listed against multiple batsmen — the one with the lowest odds is considered most likely to finish as top scorer.
Total Runs Over / Under
volet sets a runs target — for example 160. You decide whether the total runs scored will be above that (over) or below it (under). You need to consider the innings tempo and pitch conditions when making your call.
Multi Bet / Accumulator
Combine multiple selections into one bet — if all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the potential return can be much higher. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet loses.
Method of Next Wicket
Bet on how the next wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out or another method. This type of market is especially popular in live betting because the odds shift after every ball.
Betting Exchange — Back and Lay
On an exchange there are two roles — back (for a team) or lay (against a team). Example: if you back Team A at odds of 2.50 with a ৳1,000 stake and Team A wins, your profit before commission is ৳1,500; if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000. If you lay Team A, your liability is ৳1,500 — if Team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000.
Learning to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Odds are written in three common formats. The same market value is expressed in three ways — only the notation differs, the actual meaning is the same.
Example 1 — The Same Value in Three Formats
Say you place ৳1,000 on Team A to win. The odds in three formats:
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 staked (including profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If your ৳1,000 bet wins, the total return is ৳3,000 — that is ৳2,000 profit plus your original ৳1,000 stake. If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on a Favourite
Team B is considered more likely to win, so the odds are shorter:
| Format | Value |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 1/4 |
| American | -400 |
American minus odds mean — a ৳400 stake returns ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 stake the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). Returns on favourites are lower, but the chance of winning is comparatively higher.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections — decimal odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively. Combined odds: 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (rounded). A ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
Live betting means placing bets in real time while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly dynamic — because every over, every wicket and every big shot changes the odds.
Say a team has lost 3 wickets in the first five overs. The opposing team's odds of winning will shorten instantly — because the situation has swung in their favour. Similarly, if a batsman hits several sixes in a row, pressure builds on the bowling side and the odds shift.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. At volet, live markets include top run scorer, next wicket, runs in a specific over and many more. In T20 matches, the number of live markets tends to be highest in the final five overs.
That said, it is better to avoid placing large bets in a rush during live betting. Betting is a form of entertainment — play within your budget.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set a budget before you start. Decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend before each betting session. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Understand the format before picking a market. Total runs markets in T20 are straightforward because the game ends quickly. In Test cricket, keep in mind that a draw is also possible.
- Compare odds. Being able to read decimal, fractional and American formats makes it easier to compare the same market across options.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combined odds can deliver higher returns, but losing a single selection means everything is gone. Start with two-selection multi bets to get a feel for them.
- Take enough time on live bets. Odds move fast, but take time to understand the market before deciding — rushing into a bet is best avoided.
- Betting is entertainment, not a business. Bet to add to the enjoyment of watching cricket — chasing losses after a losing run is not a good idea. Our Responsible Gaming page has more guidance.
