ace Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
For cricket, Bangladesh's most popular sport, ace offers multiple markets including match winner, toss, and top batsman — with live in-play betting available.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
From T20 to Test, each format offers a different betting experience for Bangladeshi fans

T20, ODI and Test — three different experiences
T20 matches are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. With just twenty overs, the situation can change at any moment, so betting markets shift with every ball. The excitement BPL generates in Dhaka and across the country every year has made T20 the centre of cricket betting at ace.
In ODI or one-day matches, strategy matters a lot more across fifty overs. A mid-innings wicket changes the run-rate calculation and market values move immediately. During the IPL season, Bangladeshi bettors show a clear interest in how the Indian franchises perform.
Test cricket moves at a slower pace, but over five days, weather, pitch conditions and how wickets are distributed all shape the markets. ICC World Cup, T20 World Cup and bilateral series are all available at ace.
Football and Other Sports Betting

Cricket vs Football Betting
In football, a draw is also a valid result, so there are typically three main outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw — this difference is reflected directly in how odds are set.
In football, the goals market (over or under 1.5 or 2.5 goals) is very popular. The equivalent in cricket is the over/under runs market. In sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, each set result creates its own separate market.
Cricket and football markets can be combined in a multi bet. Visit the multi bet details page at ace for a full guide on betting on multiple events together.
ace Popular Cricket Markets
Each market is different — understanding them makes betting much more enjoyable
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A to win at odds of 1.80, Team B to win at odds of 2.00. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,000 if Team B wins (profit ৳1,000).
SimplestToss Market
Which team wins the coin toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random and has no relation to either team's strength. This is a short market that closes before the match begins.
Quick MarketTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in that match — within a team or across both teams. If you can read individual player form, this is an enjoyable market.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether runs scored will be above or below a set number. Example: if the line is set at 160 runs in a T20 innings, an over bet means you expect more than 160.
Run CountOver of First Wicket
In which over the first wicket of the match will fall — an interesting market to watch given the pace bowler's form and pitch behaviour. This market changes quickly in live in-play.
Live In-PlayMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Adding multiple markets to a single slip multiplies the odds. A ৳100 bet with 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approx) returns ৳428 if all selections win. One wrong selection loses the entire bet.
High Return PotentialHandicap and Run Line Markets
Handicap betting is useful when there is a clear gap in strength between two teams. The weaker team is given an extra run or wicket advantage to level the market. The stronger team has a deduction applied. This brings the odds on both sides closer together, making the betting more even.
A Simple Guide to Reading Cricket Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — three formats, same meaning
Odds at ace are usually shown in decimal format, though fractional and American formats are also common. All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A win odds | Team B win odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | −125 |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to win (৳500 stake)
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,250 if Team A wins (profit ৳750 + original stake ৳500). If Team A loses, ৳500 is lost.
Example 2 — Betting on favourite Team B to win
Team B's odds are decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American −125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A ৳500 stake returns ৳900 if Team B wins (profit ৳400).
Quick reference formula
Calculating with decimal odds is the easiest
- Return = Stake × Decimal Odds. ৳500 × 2.50 = ৳1,250.
- Any odds above 1.00 return more than the stake.
- Fractional 3/2 means — stake 2, profit 3.
- American +150 means — a ৳100 stake wins ৳150 profit. −125 means — you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳150 profit.
- All three formats express the same probability — only the presentation differs.
Live In-Play Betting — During the Match
When a wicket falls, an over ends, or the match momentum shifts — odds change instantly
ace live betting interface
In-play betting lets you experience cricket in a completely new way. The odds that were set before the match can shift significantly the moment a wicket falls in the third over — that is what makes live betting interesting.
How odds move through a T20 innings:
Match start — odds for both teams are set based on pre-match performance and the pitch report.
Quick wickets in the powerplay lengthen the batting team's odds (their chances of winning drop) and shorten the bowling team's odds.
A big partnership in the middle overs reverses the picture — the batting team's value recovers.
In the final five overs, the required run rate and wickets remaining determine the final odds.
Speed of decision-making matters during in-play betting. Using the ace mobile app lets you access markets instantly from anywhere. To learn more about ace's responsible gaming policy, read the responsible gaming guide.
Some Useful Points for Cricket Betting at ace
Betting is for entertainment — here are some general guidelines
Understand the format before choosing a market
T20 tends to produce high scores, so over/under markets can be interesting. The match winner market in Test cricket spans five days — anything can change midway. It helps to start with the format you know best.
Set a budget before you start
Before each betting session, set a limit for yourself. Betting should be treated as part of entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines to play safely and responsibly at ace.
No rushing in live betting
In-play markets move fast, but placing large bets driven by emotion generally does not end well. Watching for a few minutes before deciding helps you stay in control.
Keep selections limited in a multi bet
More selections in a multi bet mean higher potential returns — but one loss brings down the whole slip. Keeping it to 2-3 selections at the start helps manage the risk.
