Cricket Betting at zet buzz — Bet on T20, ODI and Test
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — bet on every cricket format at zet buzz. Match winner, toss, top batsman and live in-play betting, all in one place.
Three Cricket Formats and How Betting Differs
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it is a matter of passion. zet buzz offers a different kind of betting opportunity for each format.
In T20 format, a six or a wicket can shift the odds instantly, so staying focused during live betting is important. In ODI, once you understand a team's momentum after the powerplay overs, a mid-match bet becomes much more informed. In Test cricket, factoring in the pitch type, weather and batting order makes it easier to plan across all five days.
BPL is especially popular with Bangladeshi fans. Because it is a home tournament, fans have a much clearer picture of each team's strengths and weaknesses and the form of individual players. IPL season brings international-quality cricket, and whenever Bangladesh Tigers play at the T20 World Cup or any ICC event, the whole country is talking about it.
When it comes to football and other sports betting, football has a fixed match length of 90 minutes and a draw is a normal result, so the way odds are calculated is different. Kabaddi, tennis and basketball also have fewer types and numbers of betting markets compared to cricket. Specialist markets like per-over runs, number of wickets, or a fifty score, which are common in cricket, are generally not available in other sports.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
zet buzz offers several types of betting markets — once you understand each one, it becomes clear how to bet in each market.
Match Winner
The simplest market — choose which of the two teams will win. Example: if you pick Team B in a match between Team A and Team B, your bet wins if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. Completely separate from the match result — it depends only on the toss, so the odds are usually roughly even.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman in a given team will score the most runs. Example: pick which of Team A's batsmen will score the highest.
Total Runs Over / Under
Bet on whether the total runs in the match will be over or under a set number. Example: if you choose Over 160 in a T20, your bet wins if the total runs are 161 or more.
Multi Bet
Combine bets on multiple matches or markets into one. If all selections are correct, the total return is larger. Example: pick three teams as winners in three separate matches in one bet — if even one is wrong, the entire bet loses.
Top Bowler / Total Wickets
Which bowler will take the most wickets, or whether the total number of wickets in an innings will be above or below a set figure — these markets are especially popular on bowling-friendly pitches.
Multi Bet: Bigger Returns, Higher Risk
With multi bets on zet buzz Bet, the odds from several matches multiply together for a larger potential outcome. Keep in mind though — if even one of three selections is wrong, the entire bet loses. The more matches you add, the greater the risk. Betting is for entertainment — it should not be seen as a guaranteed way to make money.
An example: if three matches have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36. So on a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct, you get back ৳336. But if any one of the three is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Three Formats of Odds — How They Are Written and Read
Different betting sites write odds in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. zet buzz generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three makes it easier to use any platform.
Example 1 — Team A Wins (Underdog)
Say Team A's odds to win are written in all three formats like this:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of ৳2.50 for every ৳1 staked (profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus odds) |
On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B Wins (Favourite)
A favourite's odds are lower. Team B's odds to win:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return of ৳1.80 for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | A ৳125 bet is needed to win ৳100 (minus odds) |
On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins, total return is ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 original stake).
In American format, plus (+) odds mean the underdog — it shows how much profit a ৳100 bet makes. Minus (-) odds mean the favourite — it shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Decimal format is the easiest because the total return can be read directly.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
One of the most engaging parts of cricket betting is live in-play betting — placing bets while the match is in progress. When a wicket falls, a big six is hit or the powerplay ends, the odds change instantly.
For example, if Team A is 100/2 after 15 overs in a T20, the match winner odds for Team A may shorten because they are in a strong position. If two wickets then fall in the very next over, the odds can swing the other way just as quickly.
In over-by-over markets, you can bet separately on how many runs will be scored in each individual over. This is especially popular in Test and ODI cricket — it is known as session betting, a market where you bet on the total runs or wickets in a session (morning, afternoon or evening session).
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly — a brief delay and the odds will have moved. Using the zet buzz App on mobile lets you see score updates and odds on the same screen, which makes live betting more convenient.
Things to keep in mind for live betting:
- When a wicket falls, odds on run-rate markets change
- If the D/L method is applied due to rain, bets may be cancelled
- When a new batter comes in, recalculate innings run markets
- Plan ahead so you can make quick decisions
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — there are no guaranteed returns. Keeping the tips below in mind will make the experience better.
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. If you lose, do not go beyond that limit.
Understand the format before betting
Betting strategy differs across T20, ODI and Test. Bet on the format you know best.
Start with one market
If you are new, bet only on the match winner market. Once you have some experience, gradually move on to other markets.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match — try to understand where the differences are largest.
Do not bet on emotion
Supporting your favourite team is one thing; betting is another. Decisions based on information are more effective than decisions based on emotion.

Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, zet buzz also offers betting on football and other sports. Football has a fixed match duration of 90 minutes and a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Football does not have specialist markets like per-over or per-wicket as cricket does, but markets such as goalscorer, assists and number of corners are available.
Betting markets are also available for kabaddi, tennis, badminton and basketball, though the variety of markets in those sports is smaller compared to cricket. Because cricket is the most followed sport in Bangladesh, zet buzz has comparatively more cricket betting markets and greater depth in those markets.
If you are looking for entertainment beyond cricket, zet buzz Casino offers live casino, slots and other games. The Slots section features games from various providers including Pragmatic Play and PG Soft.
