87bd protection Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Cricket is one of the most followed sports in Bangladesh. At 87bd protection, you can bet on a range of markets from match winner to live in-play. This page explains formats, markets and odds in detail.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Bangladeshi fans enjoy cricket in all three formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the betting markets differ as well. At 87bd protection, you can bet on BPL, IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and other international series matches.
Twenty20
Each team plays 20 overs. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Matches finish quickly, making live betting the most active. A six or a wicket can shift the odds instantly.
One Day International
Each team plays 50 overs. Middle-over strategy and partnerships have more influence. The ICC World Cup is in ODI format, and the Tigers' performances here get the most attention.
Test Cricket
A long format played over five days. A draw is a valid result here, so the match winner market has three options. Pitch conditions, weather and team depth influence the odds more significantly.
BPL — Bangladesh Premier League
BPL is Bangladesh's biggest T20 franchise tournament. With local and overseas players, betting markets are very active in every match. At 87bd protection, multiple markets are available for every BPL match.
IPL and International Cricket
IPL is widely followed in Bangladesh as well. The ICC T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series featuring the Tigers generate the highest betting interest.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
At 87bd protection, you can bet on football and several other sports alongside cricket. In football, a match typically has three outcomes: win, loss or draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there is no draw, so the market is split between two sides.
In football, number of goals, handicap and corner markets are popular. Cricket has unique markets like total runs, wickets and partnerships that no other sport offers. Cricket is especially dynamic in live betting — odds change with every ball.
On the other hand, markets for sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi are comparatively limited. Overall, cricket receives the most attention from bettors in Bangladesh.
Popular Betting Markets
A range of markets is available in the cricket section at 87bd protection. Below are seven popular markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Example: Team A vs Team B — if you favour Team A, bet on that side.
Most popularToss Winner
Who will win the toss in the match. Two sides — Team A or Team B. The toss result is independent of match statistics, making it a separate market.
Simple marketTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a team in a specific innings. Example: pick one of three possible batsmen representing Team A.
Skill-based marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: in a T20 match, will total runs be more or less than 320 — bet on one side.
Stats-basedWickets Market
How many wickets will fall within a set number of overs — over/under or exact number. This market is especially interesting on pace-friendly pitches.

How to Read Odds
Odds are written in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A win (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Stake × 2.25 = total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on ৳100 |
Example 1 (underdog bet): Betting ৳500 on Team A to win — decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125. If you win, ৳1,125 is returned (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite bet): Team B to win — decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American −125 (minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). On a ৳500 bet, a win returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
All examples above are for explanation only. Odds in actual matches will differ.
Live In-Play Betting
Live betting at 87bd protection becomes active once a match starts. Odds shift instantly with every wicket, big shot or powerplay.
What happens when a wicket falls
When a key wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up and the bowling team's odds come down. The runs market for the next over is reset before the new batsman arrives.
Powerplay Overs
The first six overs in T20 are the powerplay. Fielding restrictions during this period increase the chance of big scores — the live total runs market is very active at this stage.
Death Overs
When the required run rate is high in the last four or five overs, the batting team's odds keep rising. The match situation changes quickly at this stage.
Next Ball Market
Some live markets are open for the outcome of each ball — dot ball, single, boundary or wicket. Quick decisions are needed.
Practical Advice for Cricket Betting
-
Understand the format before betting
T20 markets are not the same as Test markets. It is important to know which format you are betting on. -
Focus on one market
It is better to understand one market well (such as match winner) before moving on to others. -
Set a budget
Fix a set amount for each match. Avoid placing extra bets after a loss. -
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast, but rushing into a bet increases the chance of mistakes. Take a moment to observe first. -
Read the betting rules
If a match is abandoned or the Duckworth-Lewis method is applied, the betting rules may differ. Familiarise yourself with 87bd protection's terms and conditions. -
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income
Enjoy cricket betting as entertainment. Do not bet beyond your means.
