Cricket Betting on pvip — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
pvip offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh — from T20 to Test, match winner to in-play bets, all in one place.
Bangladesh's favourite cricket formats and competitions
To understand cricket betting, the first thing to know is the different formats of the game — because each format moves at a different pace and the types of markets also differ.
The fastest format
20 overs per innings, quick results — the most popular format among bettors. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format. Odds can shift at any moment in the match, so in-play betting is very active here.
The 50-over contest
With 50 overs per side, strategy plays a bigger role. The ICC Cricket World Cup and Bangladesh's international series are played in this format. Both run rate and wickets in the middle overs influence the betting markets.
The five-day patience game
Test matches played over five days have much deeper markets. Because a draw is possible, separate markets are offered for three outcomes (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw). In a long game, whether it is a batting pitch or a bowling pitch has a big influence on the odds.
BPL, IPL and International Series
pvip lets you bet on the excitement of BPL or late-night IPL matches from Dhaka. BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise tournament — it carries a special passion for local fans. The world's best players take part in IPL, which makes the betting markets even more lively.
pvip also keeps betting active for ICC T20 World Cup matches, Bangladesh series and Test Championship matches. Keeping an eye on the points table or team form in each tournament makes it easier to choose markets.
All these tournament markets are available together in pvip's pvip Bet section.
How is betting different in football and other sports
After cricket, football is the most talked-about sport in Bangladesh. Many people bet on FIFA World Cup or English Premier League matches. Football always has three outcomes (home team / draw / away team) — this is different from T20 cricket's two-outcome market.
Cricket offers a variety of ball-by-ball markets — such as how many runs will be scored in the next over or who will take the next wicket. Football markets are mostly goal-based. Sports like kabaddi or hockey have fewer markets, but a match-winner market is available for almost every sport.
Betting is for entertainment only — keep this in mind and bet within your limits in all sports.
- In cricket, a draw is only possible in Tests; T20/ODI always have two outcomes
- In football, the three-outcome market (1X2) is standard
- Cricket has more varied in-play markets
- Football has a fixed match duration (90 minutes)
- In cricket, weather and pitch conditions play a major role
Popular cricket markets on pvip
Choosing the right market is the first step in betting. Below is a brief overview of seven popular cricket markets on pvip.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. If Team A wins, the bet on Team A wins; if Team B wins, the bet on Team B wins.
Simplest marketToss Winner
You can place a bet on the toss result before the match starts. The outcome is settled as soon as the toss is done.
Pre-match marketTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in a specific innings or the whole match.
Player marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the runs scored in a full innings or a specific over will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number.
Runs marketTotal Wickets Market
How many wickets will fall in an innings — you can bet on either side of the over/under line in this market.
Bowling marketMulti Bet
Combining markets from several matches into a single bet — if all selections are correct, the total odds are multiplied together to give a larger return.
Combo marketDecimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
pvip generally displays odds in decimal format, but understanding all three formats is useful on any platform.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Say ৳1,000 is staked on Team A to win.
- Decimal: 3.00 — total return = ৳1,000 × 3.00 = ৳3,000 (profit ৳2,000 + original stake ৳1,000)
- Fractional: 2/1 — ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked; a ৳1,000 stake gives a profit of ৳2,000
- American: +200 — ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake, meaning a ৳1,000 stake gives a profit of ৳2,000
If the bet loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone; if it wins, the total received is ৳3,000.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
If Team B is the favourite, the odds might be decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American −400.
- A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳1,250 if it wins (profit of only ৳250)
- The American minus (−) sign means how much you need to stake to win ৳100; −400 means you must stake ৳400 to profit ৳100
Even when the favourite has lower odds, the match result is never certain — always approach betting as entertainment.
Decimal odds are the most straightforward — multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. For new bettors, starting with the decimal format is the most convenient.

Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
In-play or live betting is the ability to place bets while a match is in progress. It differs from pre-match betting because the situation on the field is reflected directly in the odds.
For example, if Team A loses 3 wickets in the 15th over, the odds on Team B winning decrease (Team B becomes the favourite) and Team A's odds increase. A big over during the powerplay raises the run-chasing team's prospects — this is also visible in the odds.
In T20, the total runs market for the last 5 overs is very active. In Tests, when the pitch begins to suit the bowling side, odds shift quickly.
In-play betting moves fast — there is not much time to decide before each bet. That is why it is important to follow pvip's responsible gaming guidelines.
A few useful tips before you start
Start with simple markets: Beginning with straightforward markets like match winner or toss winner makes it easier to understand odds and returns. Get some experience with easy markets before moving to more complex ones.
Be careful with multi bets: If you combine three markets and even one loses, the entire bet is lost. Even if the odds look large, the risk is higher too — every selection in a multi bet needs to be correct.
Set a budget: Decide on a limit for how much you will bet in a day. When betting for entertainment, sticking to a budget keeps the experience more enjoyable.
No rushing in live betting: In-play betting is fast — but take a moment to think before each bet. Decisions made in a rush generally do not produce good results.
Read the rules: Each market has its own rules — for example, what happens to a bet if a match is cancelled due to rain. Reading pvip's terms and conditions in advance means you will not be caught off guard by unexpected situations.
Betting is for entertainment
Cricket betting is a recreational activity — it should not be treated as a source of income. Avoid chasing losses or staking more than you can afford. Staying within your limits keeps the experience enjoyable.
21+ — All betting activities are for those aged 21 and above only.
