vx8 Cricket Betting – Best Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bangladesh's most popular sport just got more interesting — place bets on every format from T20 to Test, follow live odds and pick the markets you prefer.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Three formats, three different experiences — and a different style of betting for each
T20 Cricket
This 20-over format is the fastest and the most popular among bettors. Major tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in this format. The situation can change with every ball, which makes live betting particularly engaging here. Bangladesh Tigers' T20 World Cup matches can be followed directly on vx8.
ODI Cricket
The 50-over one-day match offers greater tactical depth. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format. Odds shift noticeably around the midpoint of an innings, which makes mid-match betting attractive.
Test Cricket
This five-day format rewards patience and an understanding of statistics. Match Winner, Series Winner and player performance markets are more widely available here. In Tests, weather and pitch conditions have a direct effect on odds.
Major Competitions on vx8
BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise tournament — local bettors naturally take a strong interest in matches involving home-side teams. IPL, as the Indian Premier League, is the most-watched T20 league in the world and has always been a talking point among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments are the biggest stages in international cricket.
vx8 covers matches from all these competitions, with multiple betting markets open for each match. Those who enjoy casino games alongside cricket will find live table games and slots at vx8 Casino.
Football and Other Sports
After cricket, football is the most widely watched sport in Bangladesh. vx8 offers betting on international football matches — Premier League, World Cup qualifiers — and major club tournaments.
The main difference between cricket and football betting lies in the number and type of markets available. Cricket offers more individual performance markets (Top Batsman, most runs), which are generally less common in football. Football matches can end in a draw, whereas limited-overs cricket normally has no draw — a difference that also affects how odds are set.
vx8 also offers betting on specific events in tennis, badminton and other sports. Available markets vary by sport, so the best way to check is to go to the Sports section and look at the markets for the event you are interested in.
Popular Betting Markets
The 6 most commonly used cricket markets and how they work
Match Winner
The simplest market — you bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two options (no draw in limited-overs cricket). Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, place your bet on Team B; if Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match begins. The result depends entirely on the coin flip — a team's strength or form plays no part here. Odds for both teams in the Toss market are usually roughly equal.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the full match. Example: betting on who will score the most runs for Team A. This market lets you pick one player from a list of possible batsmen for that team.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be over or under a set number. Example: will total runs in a T20 innings be over or under 165 — you place your bet on either side.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining the results of multiple matches in a single bet. Example: if you bet on three teams winning three separate matches together, and all three are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds; if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
The stronger team is artificially set back to bring both teams' odds closer together. Example: if Team A is the stronger side, they may be given a −1.5 run handicap — meaning even if Team A wins, your bet on them is successful only if they win by more than the specified margin.
How to Read Odds
Decimal, Fractional and American — three formats, the same information
| Format | How it looks | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return = bet × 3.00 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American (Plus) | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| American (Minus) | −200 | Stake ৳200 to profit ৳100 |
Example 1 (same odds in three formats):
Team A to win, bet ৳200 —
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
If you win, you receive ৳600 back (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). If you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite's odds):
Team B to win — Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200 (minus odds mean this is the amount you need to stake to win ৳100).
On a ৳200 bet, if you win you receive ৳300 back (৳100 profit).
vx8 normally displays odds in decimal format, which is the easiest to read. For more detail on any odds format, read the FAQ.
Keep in mind: higher odds mean a higher potential return — but the reason the odds are higher is that the outcome is considered less likely. Betting is purely for entertainment.
Live In-Play Betting LIVE
The key advantage of live in-play betting is that you can place bets after the match has started. In cricket, every wicket, every big six or a maiden over causes the odds to update instantly.
For example: if Team A bats strongly through the first 10 overs, their odds of winning will shorten (meaning they become the favourite). But if two wickets fall in the very next over, the odds will shift again. These fluctuations are what set live betting apart from standard pre-match betting.
In ODIs, odds tend to change noticeably after the powerplay ends, and in Tests at the close of each session. During live betting on vx8, the scorecard and odds are displayed together, which helps when making a decision.

What to Know Before You Start Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping these points in mind will make for a better experience
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet each session. Only put in an amount you are comfortable losing — betting is purely for entertainment, not a way to earn income.
Understand the Format First
Knowing the rules and pace of T20, ODI and Test cricket will give you a clear idea of what you are betting on in each market.
Do Not Put Everything on One Bet
A multi bet can offer a higher return, but if any single selection is wrong you lose everything. Start with simple single bets when you are new to it.
Play Responsibly
If betting starts to cause stress rather than enjoyment, stop. For more information, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
