Cricket Betting at tap555 — Bet on T20, ODI and Test in Bengali
From BPL to the T20 World Cup — bet on every cricket format at tap555, with familiar payment methods and Bengali support.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket is Bangladesh's most passionate sport. tap555 betting adds a new dimension to the experience of watching the Tigers play. That said, betting is for entertainment only — winning and losing are both part of the game.
The three main cricket formats are T20, ODI (one-day match) and Test. Each has its own character, and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20: This 20-over format is the fastest. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL fall into this category. The result can change at any moment, which makes live betting particularly popular.
ODI: In a 50-over match, team strategy runs deeper. Pace bowler versus batsman, mid-innings collapses — these make ODIs interesting from a betting perspective.
Test: In a five-day match there are three possible outcomes — Team A win, Team B win or draw. This third option does not exist in T20 or ODI, which is why the odds structure is different.
On the international stage, Bangladesh's matches in the ICC T20 World Cup, the World Cup and bilateral series are available in the tap555 cricket betting section.
Sports beyond cricket
Besides cricket, tap555 also offers betting on football and other sports. In football, a draw is a standard outcome, so every match has three core odds — home win, draw and away win. This structure is fundamentally different from T20 or ODI cricket, where there are usually only two possible results.
In cricket, there are opportunities to bet between major seasonal tournaments — such as bilateral series or youth team matches. Football runs throughout the year, so the continuity of markets is different.
tap555 also has fast-paced options like crash games. Among them, the Monster Crash game is a completely different experience — instead of pre-set rules like cricket, the multiplier changes in real time.

Popular betting markets — where to bet in a match
tap555 cricket betting offers multiple markets. Below are seven common markets with a simple example for each.
| Market | How it works | Simple example |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which of the two teams will win. | Team A vs Team B — if you bet on Team B to win and they do, you receive the payout. |
| Toss | A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. | Two equally likely options usually have similar odds. |
| Top Batsman | Which batsman will score the most runs in that innings. | If a specific batsman from Team A scores the highest, the bet is won. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Whether the total runs in an innings will be more or less than a set number. | If the line is 160 runs and Team A scores 175, the "Over" bet wins. |
| Multi Bet | Combining multiple betting selections together — all must be correct to win. | If you bet on three separate matches, all selections must be correct or the entire stake is lost. |
| Highest Scoring Over | Which over in the match will have the most runs scored. | If you expect the final over to be the highest-scoring, you can select that over. |
| Man of the Match | Which player will receive the man of the match award. | An all-rounder from Team B who performs well with both bat and ball will generally win this bet. |
Three ways to read odds
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. The same odds can be written in all three ways; the underlying meaning is the same.
Bet on Team A to win — a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,250 in total if correct (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If wrong, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
The same bet in fractional format is 5/4. This means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked — so ৳1,250 profit on a ৳1,000 bet.
In American format the same bet is +125. For comparison, the favourite's bet: Team B to win is decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American −400 — a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Live betting — odds change when a wicket falls
LIVE Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. One feature of cricket is that the game changes on every ball, and those changes are reflected in the odds.
Say Team A has made a strong start — 75 runs in 10 overs without losing a wicket. At that point, Team A's odds of winning shorten (because they are now the favourite). If two wickets fall in the next over, the odds change immediately.
This movement is most pronounced in T20, because results can swing quickly in just 20 overs. In ODIs, odds shift more slowly; in Test matches, slowest of all — because both time and wickets are more plentiful.
During live betting, markets may close briefly at the fall of a wicket or during breaks — this is normal. You can follow the live scorecard on tap555 while betting.
During in-play betting, keep the responsible betting guidelines in mind — do not stake more than your budget in the rush to make quick decisions.
Some useful tips before you start betting
Set your budget first
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each match. Do not go beyond that limit — this is especially important to follow during live betting.
Choose markets based on the format
Total runs markets are popular in T20, while top batsman suits ODI. Focus on the format you understand best.
Start with one market
The match winner market is straightforward for newcomers — just two options. Rather than betting on many markets at once, build up gradually.
Be careful with multi bets
If three selections are at decimal odds of 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90, losing even one means the entire stake is gone. The return may be higher, but so is the risk.
Get familiar with odds formats
Decimal odds are the easiest to read. Start with decimals — odds of 2.25 mean you get 2.25 times your stake back if you win.
Betting is entertainment, not income
Cricket betting can add to the enjoyment of watching a match. But treating it as a regular source of income can cause problems — keep it as entertainment.
Beyond cricket — tennis betting
Tennis is also available for betting on tap555, just like cricket. Tennis offers markets such as match winner, set score and game totals. Just as each innings in cricket changes the situation, each set in tennis can shift the picture, making live betting particularly useful.
Both cricket and tennis depend on individual performance, though the strategies differ. For more details, read the tap555 tennis betting guide.
