Cricket Betting at golari — Bet on all formats from BPL and T20 to Test
From the Bangladesh Premier League to the T20 World Cup — golari lets you follow every cricket match more closely. Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman or live betting — all markets in one place.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has a different style of betting and calls for a different approach.
T20 Cricket
This twenty-over-per-side format is the fastest. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Sixes and wickets every over can shift the odds in an instant, which makes live betting especially interesting here.
ODI Cricket
In this fifty-over format the pace of the match is slower than T20, but no less dramatic. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are the main draws for ODI betting. Total runs, partnerships and mid-match momentum all play a big role here.
Test Cricket
The highest level of cricket. In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather and the balance between batting and bowling reshape the odds each day. Bangladesh Test series and ICC World Test Championship matches receive particular attention here.
Beyond cricket, golari also offers betting on football, tennis and other sports. The key difference is that football matches generally end in ninety minutes and a draw is a separate result, whereas in limited-overs cricket there is no draw. This means the structure of the betting markets is different as well. See full details on sports betting at golari Bet to understand what types of bets are available for each sport.
Popular cricket betting markets
A brief introduction to the types of bets you can place on a match.
| Market | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which team will win the match. | Team A or Team B — pick one; there is no draw in limited-overs cricket. |
| Toss Winner | Which team will win the toss. | Two simple possibilities — will Team A or Team B win the toss. |
| Top Batsman | Which batter will score the most runs in an innings. | Pick which batter will score the highest in Team A's innings. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set number. | Will Team A's innings total be more than 165 (Over) or less (Under) — pick one. |
| First Wicket Partnership | The combined runs scored by the openers before the first wicket falls. | A bet on whether the opening partnership will add more than 30 runs. |
| Top Bowler | Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. | Which bowler will be the highest wicket-taker for Team B. |
| Multi Bet (multiple selections) | Multiple matches or markets are combined to increase the odds, but all selections must win. | Combining the Match Winner from three separate matches multiplies each set of odds together. If even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. |
Odds are written in three formats — what does each mean?
Odds on a betting site can appear in any one of three formats — decimal, fractional or American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — one bet shown in three formats
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If it wins, the total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000). If it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
Team B to win — Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 if it wins (৳800 profit).
Decimal odds are the easiest to keep in mind — multiply your stake by the decimal odds and you get the total return.
Multi Bet and calculating bets across multiple matches
The potential return on a multi bet is much higher than on a single bet, because each selection's odds are multiplied together. But the risk is also higher — if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multi Bet Example 4
Three selections: odds 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84.
Stake ৳100 — if all three selections are correct, the return is ৳484.
If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This is why experienced bettors keep the number of selections low in a multi bet. Always treat cricket betting as entertainment — keep every bet within your budget. Read the responsible gaming guide for some straightforward advice on managing your budget.
Live in-play betting — placing bets while the match is on
A wicket falls, an over is bowled — odds shift in an instant. That is where live betting gets interesting.
Odds movement on a wicket
When a strong batter gets out, the winner odds for their team lengthen. At the same time, the odds for the bowling side shorten — this is the moment to make a quick decision.
Run rate at the end of an over
If the run rate is low through the first ten overs, the chasing team's odds lengthen. Once the powerplay is over with wickets still in hand, the odds come back down.
Target and overs remaining
If more runs are still needed in the last five overs, the defending team's odds shorten. Checking the live scorecard and working out the remaining overs and the required run rate makes the picture clear.
Next Over Betting
A market just on how many runs will be scored in the next over — available in T20. A quick decision with a quick result.
A stable internet connection helps when doing live betting — golari's live betting page works well on mobile data in Dhaka or Chattogram too. Live bet easily on mobile with the golari App.
Some useful advice before you start
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping that in mind, a few practical points can make the experience better.
Set your budget first
Decide the maximum amount you will spend before each betting session. Do not go beyond it.
Focus on one format
T20, ODI and Test are three different games. Start with the format you understand best.
Keep your markets small
The more selections you add to a multi bet, the risk grows considerably. It is better not to combine more than three selections at once.
Do not place big bets on emotion
Placing an unusually large bet because your favourite team is playing is a common mistake. Make decisions based on the situation.
Understand the odds before you bet
Multiplying your stake by the decimal odds gives you the total potential return — work this out before placing a bet.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, golari also offers football betting. In football, a match result has three possibilities — win, loss or draw — which is different from limited-overs cricket's two-outcome market. There are also separate markets for number of goals, first goalscorer and half-time score.
Football Betting
Unlike cricket, a draw is a valid result in football, so the 1x2 (Home/Draw/Away) market is the most common. Goal Totals (Over/Under 2.5 goals) and Both Teams to Score (BTTS) markets are also popular.
Other Sports
Tennis, badminton or kabaddi — different sports have different types of markets. In tennis you can find bets ranging from Set Winner to Game Totals. Knowing the rules of each sport before betting makes for a better experience.
