Cricket Betting at gol bat — place bets on all matches from T20 to Test
Follow every ball of BPL, IPL and international cricket. At gol bat you can bet on dozens of markets including match winner, toss and top batsman — with live in-play betting included.
Three Formats of Cricket and Your Favourite Tournaments
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport — and at gol bat you can bet on every format of the game. Understanding the formats makes it easier to decide which markets to bet on.
T20 — In this 20-over format, matches can turn around very quickly. A flurry of sixes in one over or three sudden wickets can change the odds in an instant. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments that draw the most interest from Bangladeshi fans.
ODI — The 50-over one-day format gives you far more opportunities to bet. You can place live bets by tracking where the innings stands midway through and how many runs are still needed.
Test — In this five-day format, a match can end in three ways: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. In Test cricket, wickets, sessions and pitch behaviour gradually influence the odds — making live betting here a somewhat different experience.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
gol bat is not limited to cricket. You can also bet on football, tennis, basketball and several other sports. However, the betting approach differs from sport to sport.
In football, a match usually has three possible outcomes — home win, draw, away win. In T20 cricket there is generally no draw, so the markets are a bit simpler. In tennis it is one player against another, so setting the odds is relatively straightforward.
In cricket, live betting during the innings break, powerplay and death overs is particularly interesting because the odds shift with every wicket. In football the odds change when a goal is scored, but play can stay evenly balanced for long stretches.
Before you start betting, browse the sports section at gol bat Bet — you will find a full list of markets for every sport there.
Quick Comparison

- Tennis — set and game markets are separate
Popular Markets for Cricket Betting
gol bat offers many types of markets for cricket. Beginners can start with simpler markets, while experienced bettors can use multiple markets at the same time.
Match Winner
Choose which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B. In Test, a draw is also an option.
Simple MarketToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — odds for this market are usually close for both sides, since the toss result is entirely random.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team? This market typically offers multiple options and higher odds.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs scored in an innings or the full match be above or below a set number? Example: will the innings total be more or less than 160 — place your bet.
Innings MarketPowerplay Runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs. The odds depend on the pitch, weather and the pace bowling strength of both teams.
Live BettingMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. If all selections win, your return multiplies significantly — but if any one of them loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multi-MarketOdds are written three ways — Decimal, Fractional, American
At gol bat, odds are usually displayed in decimal format, but understanding all three formats is useful on any platform.
| Format | If Team A wins (on a ৳1,000 stake) | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal 2.25 | ৳2,250 returned (৳1,250 profit) | Profit added to the original stake |
| Fractional 5/4 | ৳1,250 profit | ৳5 won for every ৳4 staked |
| American +125 | ৳1,250 profit | How much you win on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1: Team A's odds to win — Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,250 if you win (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); you lose ৳1,000 if you lose.
Example 2: Team B is the favourite, odds — Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 if you win (৳500 profit).
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change With Every Wicket
Betting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly engaging because the situation can change with every ball.
Suppose in a T20 match Team A has made a strong start, reaching 55 runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket. At that moment, Team A's odds of winning will drop significantly, meaning lower returns on a bet. But if three wickets suddenly fall by the 10th over, those odds will rise again.
The over-by-over run rate, number of wickets fallen and the pressure of a run chase all continuously shift the live odds. In Test matches, as the pitch wears, spinners get more help — which is directly reflected in the odds towards the end of the game.
Things to Keep in Mind Before Betting
- Start with one market. Once you are comfortable with a simple market like match winner, moving on to more complex markets becomes easier.
- Set a fixed budget — only bet what you can afford to lose. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
- Do not rush in live betting — odds change quickly, so pause for a moment before making a decision.
- Adding more selections to a multi bet increases the potential return, but also lowers the chance of all of them being correct. Even in a three-selection multi bet, one wrong pick means the entire stake is lost.
- Bet responsibly. Read the Responsible Gaming page to help keep your betting in check — it includes advice on setting limits.
- Beyond cricket, gol bat has plenty more to explore — including hundreds of slot games in the Slots section.
Is cricket betting just for entertainment?
Yes. Treat betting as a form of entertainment — a way to add a little extra interest to a match you enjoy. There is no guarantee of any particular outcome or profit.
