555 bd Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
555 bd offers a wide betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — and follow every moment of the match.
T20, ODI and Test — a different approach for each format
Cricket's three formats and favourite tournaments
Betting on each cricket format is a different experience. T20 matches are fast-paced — finishing in just a few hours, so the situation can change in an instant and markets shift quickly. In ODI, across the long 50-over contest, how steadily your trusted team builds their innings matters. Test cricket is a five-day test of patience — pitch and weather play the biggest role here.
The most popular tournaments among cricket fans in Bangladesh are BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup. Betting markets are also active for the Bangladesh Tigers' international matches. At 555 bd you can place bets on all these tournaments both before and during the match.
Alongside cricket, 555 bd also has betting markets for football, badminton and other sports. In football, however, the draw market exists separately from cricket — with three possible outcomes the market structure is a little different. In limited-overs cricket the main question is usually which of the two teams will win.
Popular Betting Markets
What can you bet on in cricket — here are 7 popular markets with simple examples.
Match Winner
The simplest market: which of the two teams will win. Example: between Team A and Team B, if you think Team B will win, place your bet accordingly.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss before the match begins. This market is short-term and the result is known just minutes before the match starts.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. Consider the form of the team's most reliable batter and the pitch conditions.
Skill MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. A slow pitch favours under; a batting wicket favours over.
Pitch DependentTop Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pacers are more likely on a seaming pitch; spinners on a turning track.
AnalyticalMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct you get a higher return, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Higher ReturnMan of the Match
Bet on who will be the best performer across the whole match. In this market it is strategically effective to pick an all-rounder who can make an impact with both bat and ball.
All-Rounder AdvantageHow to Read Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — three formats that express the same probability in different ways.
| Format | If Team A wins | If Team B wins |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win
Say you place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win at decimal odds of 2.25. If Team A wins you get back ৳2,250 — of which ৳1,250 is profit and ৳1,000 is your original stake. If Team A loses you lose the full ৳1,000. In fractional this is 5/4, in American +125.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
Team B is the favourite with decimal odds of 1.80, which is 4/5 in fractional and −125 in American. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit). Do not be put off by the minus sign in American odds — it simply shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit.
Multi Bet Calculation
You selected three teams across three separate matches with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60. In a multi bet the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all are correct. But if any one of the three loses, you lose the entire ৳100 — that is the nature of a multi bet.
The examples above are for illustration only — they are not live odds or any guarantee of winnings.

Betting During the Match — In-Play Betting
In-play betting in cricket is its own exciting space. Markets stay open after the match has started and odds keep changing with every event. If a team's top batter is out in the first over, their odds of winning increase significantly — reflecting the drop in that team's chances.
Similarly, if runs come quickly in the powerplay, the total runs over/under market shifts. How many runs are needed in the death overs, how many wickets are left — all of these factors move the market moment by moment.
There is less time to decide in in-play betting, so reading up a little before the match helps. For responsible betting, please read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Know This Before You Bet
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — no strategy guarantees a win. Keeping a few things in mind can make the experience more enjoyable.
- Keep a budget: Set a limit in advance and do not go beyond it.
- Understand the format: In T20 a single over can change the whole match — Test requires more patience.
- Pitch report: Whether it is a batting or bowling wicket is useful information across many markets.
- Focus on one market: Concentrating on a familiar market rather than chasing many at once makes decisions easier.
- Betting is entertainment: Combining betting with enjoying cricket keeps it fun — chasing profit under pressure takes the enjoyment away.
- Know the rules: Reading the terms and conditions once will clear up any confusion about payments and withdrawals.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Beyond cricket, football betting is also available at 555 bd. In football the match winner market has three outcomes — home win, away win and draw. In limited-overs cricket a draw is not possible, so the market is a little simpler.
In football live betting there are goals, corners and cards markets — in cricket the equivalent are wickets, overs and runs. The markets differ across sports but the core principle is the same: understand the odds and bet within your budget.
If you are also interested in casino games, 555 bd Casino has slots, live casino and many more options. And for those interested in joining the 555 bd VIP programme, weekly cashback benefits are available.

BACK and LAY roles in a betting exchange
How a Betting Exchange Works
In regular betting you bet against the site. In a betting exchange you bet against other bettors — you can BACK (you think someone will win) or LAY (you think someone will lose).
Example: you BACK Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 with ৳500 — if Team A wins you make ৳400 profit (before commission), if they do not win you lose ৳500. If you LAY — meaning you expect Team A to lose — your liability is ৳400 (৳500 × 0.80); if Team A does not win you receive ৳500, if they win you pay ৳400.
Exchange betting is relatively complex — for beginners it is better to start with simple match winner or total runs markets first.
