pinup Cricket Betting — All Matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — live odds, multiple markets and fast payments for BPL, IPL, Test and international matches.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Major Competitions
To participate effectively in cricket betting, you first need to understand which type of bet works in which format. Each of the three formats has its own character, and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20
20 overs per side — the match finishes in just a few hours. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Because matches are short, live odds shift quickly, and Total Runs and Sixes markets are very popular.
ODI
This 50-over format hosts the ICC Cricket World Cup. With more time than T20, there are more opportunities for odds to shift between innings. Top Batsman, Top Wicket-taker and Match Winner are the three most active markets in ODIs.
Test
Five-day Test cricket is the oldest and longest format of the game. A draw is a possible result here, so the market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. Pitch conditions, pace or spin — these factors come into play when analysing bets.
BPL — Bangladesh Premier League
BPL is Bangladesh's biggest domestic T20 tournament. Local and overseas star players compete together, making matches competitive and keeping betting markets active. Betting based on each team's form is straightforward because statistics accumulate throughout the league.
IPL and International Cricket
India's IPL is the most valuable T20 league in the world, with a wide range of betting markets open for every match. You can also bet on the ICC T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and bilateral series. Bangladesh Tigers' international matches receive special coverage on pinup.
Cricket, Football and Other Sports
At pinup, in addition to cricket, you can bet on football, tennis, badminton and several other sports. However, there are notable differences in how betting works across these sports.
| Category | Cricket | Football |
|---|---|---|
| Possible Outcomes | T20/ODI — 2 (no draw); Test — 3 | 3 (win, loss, draw) |
| Match Duration | 3 hours to 5 days | Around 2 hours |
| Popular Markets | Top Batsman, Over/Under Runs | Goalscorer, Handicap |
| Live Betting Speed | Odds change every ball or over | Big changes after a goal |
In football the draw market stays active even without a goal, but in T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw — this makes the market structure different. If you want to try betting on a new sport, pinup Bet has all sports markets in one place.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Every match offers many types of markets. The most commonly used ones are explained below in simple terms.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 or ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. The simplest market and an easy starting point for new bettors.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Because the outcome is entirely random, odds are usually close to equal on both sides. It is a separate experience that is settled quickly.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman in a given team will score the most runs in that innings. This market can be analysed by looking at a batsman's recent form and pitch conditions.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (Over) or below (Under) a specified number. Pitch, weather and the team's batting strength play a key role in this market.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Adding more than one match or market to the same bet slip creates a multi bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the combined odds can become very large — but if any single selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
When there is a difference in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage in runs or wickets. This brings the betting odds of both teams closer together and makes the market more balanced.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
pinup displays odds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same information; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500:
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200
If the bet wins you receive ৳1,500 — ৳1,000 profit plus your original ৳500 stake. If the bet loses you lose ৳500.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, stake ৳500:
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet the return is ৳625 — a profit of only ৳125.
Bangladeshi bettors generally prefer the Decimal format because it is easy to multiply. The higher the odds, the greater the potential profit — but the lower the probability of that outcome.
In-Play Betting — Odds Change Every Ball
Live or in-play betting is the opportunity to place bets in real time while a match is ongoing. In cricket every ball is an event — a six, a wicket, a no-ball or a dot ball — and after each event the odds change.
For example, if a team loses two quick wickets at the start of their innings, that team's odds to win increase because they are now in a weaker position. It is possible to place a bet in the live market at exactly that moment.
In T20, the market moves most during the final five overs when the target looks either very large or very small. During the Powerplay, a high run rate can push the bowling team's odds upward. This dynamic is what sets cricket live betting apart from other sports.
Live betting on mobile is even more convenient — through the pinup App you can follow matches and place bets from anywhere.
A Few Honest Points Before You Start Betting
Bet for Entertainment
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Set a fixed budget that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Betting should not be seen as a source of income. Reading the responsible gaming policy will give you a clearer picture.
Choose Markets That Match the Format
In T20, quickly settled markets like Total Sixes or Powerplay Runs can be fun. In ODI, the Top Batsman market is more information-based. In Test cricket, analyse the Match Winner market keeping the possibility of a draw in mind.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets do offer larger odds, but every selection must be correct. If even one loses, the entire bet is void. Three selections at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80 produce a combined odds of around 4.90, meaning a ৳490 return on a ৳100 stake — but only if all three win.
Watch the Pitch and Weather
In cricket, pitch type and weather affect the pace of the match. Pace bowlers benefit from a wet pitch, while spinners are more effective on a dry, dusty one. These factors can be taken into account before placing a bet.
Know the Terms and Conditions
It is worth reading the terms and conditions before you start betting. Having a clear understanding of bonus wagering requirements, withdrawal rules and how different markets are settled will prevent confusion later.
