Cricket Betting at masi — Live Odds from BPL to T20 World Cup
Join masi's cricket betting platform for Bangladesh's most popular sport. Odds are updated from before the match starts right up to the final ball.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
Understanding the format before betting matters — because odds are set differently for each format.
Cricket betting has three main formats: T20, ODI and Test. T20 is the most popular among Bangladeshi fans because it is short and fast-paced. BPL is held in this format every year and generates huge interest in Dhaka and across the country.
ODI means a one-day international match — the ICC World Cup is held in this 50-over format. Test cricket is played over five days, where a draw is also a possible result. The world's best cricketers play in IPL and odds shift sharply with every match.
masi has active betting markets for every Bangladesh Tigers match in the T20 World Cup. Because results can change quickly in the shorter format, live odds are also very fast-moving.
The most intense format
In a 20-over match the result can turn at any moment. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Betting markets are most active here.
The 50-over balance
There is room for both batters and bowlers. The ICC World Cup is in this format. Total runs and top batsman markets are most popular here.
Five-day strategy
A draw is possible in the longer format, so you can bet on three outcomes. Wicket and session-based markets are found mainly in Test cricket.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football and other international sports at masi.
In cricket, T20 matches have no draw so betting is on only two outcomes — but in football, win, loss and draw are all possible. This means odds are calculated somewhat differently. Goal totals, handicap and half-time result are popular markets in football.
Betting approaches for cricket and football differ somewhat — in cricket, pitch conditions, weather and the toss play an important role, which does not apply to football. Both sports should be enjoyed as entertainment.
If cricket betting is your main interest, you can also explore masi's other gaming sections. For example, masi Casino has live casino games where you can experience playing with a real dealer.
Popular betting markets and examples
masi offers several markets for cricket betting. Here is a plain explanation of how each one works.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B. Example: if Team B wins, a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,000 at odds of 2.00.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome is completely separate — it has nothing to do with the pitch or weather. Odds are usually close to even.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs. The result remains uncertain until the innings ends. This market moves very quickly in live betting.
Total Runs Over/Under
This market is about whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Example: "Will there be more than 160 runs?" — yes or no.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections combined into a single bet. Example: three selections from separate matches at odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 — combined odds 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47. A ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all win, but if any one loses the full ৳100 is gone.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given an advantage to level the match. The stronger team is considered to start behind by a set number of runs or wickets. The result is judged not by the raw score but by who comes out ahead overall.
Three odds formats explained simply
masi displays odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. The same price for the same match can be written in all three ways.
Example 1: Odds for Team A to win (stake ৳1,000)
| Format | Price | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Stake × odds = total return. ৳1,000 × 3.00 = ৳3,000 (profit ৳2,000 + original stake ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. On a ৳1,000 stake, profit is ৳2,000 — total return ৳3,000 |
| American | +200 | Plus means profit per 100. +200 means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake — on a ৳1,000 stake, profit is ৳2,000 |
If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 stake is lost. All three formats are expressing the same price differently.
Example 2: Odds for favourite Team B (stake ৳1,000)
| Format | Price | Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳1,000 × 1.80 = ৳1,800 total return (profit ৳800) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked — on a ৳1,000 stake, profit is ৳800 |
| American | -125 | Minus means how much you need to stake to win 100. -125 means ৳125 stake to win ৳100 profit |
The favourite's odds are lower because they are considered more likely to win. Betting is always for entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income.
Quick reminders
- Multiply decimal odds directly by your stake to get the total return
- Fractional odds show only the profit — the stake is separate
- American + means more profit on a smaller stake; - means less profit on a larger stake
- T20 has no draw, so odds cover only two outcomes
- Multi bet odds multiply together, so the return is higher — but so is the risk
How live betting works during a match
Live betting in cricket moves much faster — odds can change after every wicket and every over.
With live betting you can place bets even after the match has started. Say Team A is at 80 runs for 5 wickets in the first innings — at that moment Team B's odds of winning will shorten and Team A's will lengthen.
If runs come quickly in the powerplay, the total runs market odds shift fast. When a big batter is dismissed, the expected total runs can drop with the very next ball. These changes are visible in real time on masi's live betting interface.
Odds move faster in live betting, so you have less time to decide. This adds a different dimension to the entertainment — though it is best not to spend too much time or money on it. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help you build healthy habits.
masi's mobile app supports live betting on both Android and iOS. The app is available through the official channel.
Some useful tips before you start betting
A few straightforward points that experienced bettors keep in mind — useful for newcomers.
Start with one format
Rather than betting across T20, ODI and Test all at once, focus on one format. T20 is quick to understand and a good starting point for newcomers.
Manage your bankroll
Instead of betting a different amount each time, set a fixed budget and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment.
Understand the odds format
Before placing a bet, work out the possible return from the decimal odds. You can use the table above to check it yourself.
Be careful with multi bets
Returns on multi bets look attractive, but a single losing selection wipes out the entire stake. It is a high-risk option.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change quickly in in-play betting, so make decisions based on the situation rather than emotion. Avoid placing large bets to try to recover a loss.
Know the rules
Read bonus wagering conditions and withdrawal rules beforehand. All the details are on the terms and conditions page.
