Cricket Betting at 1111 bit — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, domestic leagues to the World Cup — 1111 bit offers betting across every format of cricket with a variety of markets. On this page, learn about formats, market types, how to read odds, and live betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
When it comes to cricket betting, the question of format comes up first, because the pace, strategy, and number of markets differ across the three formats.
T20
Each team gets just 20 overs, so a match finishes in three to four hours. BPL and IPL are played in this format. Wickets, sixes and last-over drama make the betting more lively.
ODI
This fifty-over format allows for deeper planning. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are generally played as ODIs. Live betting is popular because mid-match odds shift quickly.
Test
In this five-day format, three results are possible — including a draw. Pitch condition, weather and bowling conditions influence the markets. Experienced bettors also look for session-based markets in this format.
For fans in Bangladesh, BPL carries a special attachment. Each season, the country's top cricketers play for franchise teams, keeping the betting markets lively. IPL is equally popular among Bangladeshi bettors — especially those who follow T20 specialists closely. On the international stage, the ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral series run throughout the year, so there is no shortage of new matches.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 1111 bit also offers betting on football and several other sports. However, the betting structure differs for each sport, so understanding the difference between cricket and football is useful.
Football betting has three possible outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. This "three-way market" is fundamentally different from cricket T20 or ODI, where there is generally no draw (except in Test). Football also has markets like half-time/full-time, goalscorer, corner count, and more.
Cricket has far more live markets because of ball-by-ball events. Odds can change after every wicket and at the end of every over. In football, odds remain relatively stable until a goal is scored.
Tennis, badminton and e-sports use set-based markets. So it makes sense to focus on the sport you understand best. Remember, betting is entertainment — a way to enjoy a match more.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Cricket allows you to bet on dozens of different markets beyond just the match result. Below is a brief introduction to seven popular markets.
Predict who wins the match
The simplest market — pick which team will win. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes, making this the best starting point for beginners. Example: team A vs team B — you pick team A, and if team A wins, the bet is successful.
Toss Market
The result is known before the match even begins. Pick which team will win the toss. Example: you pick team B to win the toss — it is settled before the first ball is bowled. Simple, but entirely like a coin flip.
Highest run scorer
Which player within a team will score the most runs. Example: bet on the batsman you think will score the highest for team A. The top scorer is determined at the end of the match.
Runs over or under
Pick whether the total runs will be above or below a set number. Example: whether the total runs in a T20 innings will be over 160. Pitch conditions and the bowling side's ability need to be considered.
Multi bet across multiple matches
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. Example: if you pick team A, team B, and team A across three separate matches, the odds multiply. But if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — the risk is higher.
Time of the first wicket
At what score or in which over the batting team's first wicket will fall. Example: whether the first wicket falls before 3 overs. This market is more tense on pace-friendly pitches.
Run handicap
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a team to level the betting. Example: if team A is given a 15-run handicap, they must win by more than 15 runs for the bet to succeed.
How to Read Cricket Odds
Three odds formats are used in sports betting — decimal, fractional and American. 1111 bit generally displays decimal format, which is the easiest to understand.
| Format | Odds for team A to win | Return on a ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000) |
| American | +200 | ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000) |
The three formats above all express the same odds, just written differently. Team A's odds to win are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional and +200 in American. A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 if won — of which ৳1,000 is profit and the original ৳500 stake is included. If lost, the full ৳500 is gone.
Now suppose team B is the favourite — odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional and -200 in American. American minus odds indicate how much you need to bet to make ৳100 in profit. Here, a ৳500 bet returns ৳750 if won (profit ৳250).
The key point: the higher the odds, the greater the potential profit — but the team is also considered less likely to win. The lower the odds, the more of a favourite that team is.
Live Betting — Odds Change Every Over
In-play or live betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. The situation changes after every ball during a match — and so do the odds. Understanding these shifts makes betting more enjoyable.
Say team A is batting in a T20 match. After 15 overs they have 100 runs, needing 60 more from the last 5 overs. In this situation, team A's odds of winning are moderate. But if two wickets fall in the next over, the odds will quickly shift in favour of team B.
Odds change fastest after a wicket falls. Live markets are most active at the end of the powerplay and during the final five overs. In ODI, major odds changes also come after the mid-innings break.
Live betting in Test cricket is more complex — pitch deterioration, sessions, weather and declarations all keep the odds moving. It is possible to bet live by analysing the match situation at the end of each session.
Before making a betting decision, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines — especially because live betting creates pressure to decide quickly, so setting limits beforehand is important.
Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
Live markets update after every wicketA key wicket for the batting team means their odds of winning increase. The bowling team's odds decrease. This is a moment when you can decide whether to place a new bet.
Powerplay Effect
If many runs are scored in the first 6 overs, the batting team's odds fall — and the bowling team's odds rise.
Drama in the Death Overs
In the final five overs, if the required run rate climbs or wickets fall, odds shift with every ball.
Some Practical Points on Cricket Betting
Keeping a few things in mind before betting makes for a better experience. These are not "profit strategies" — they are simply ways to enjoy betting as entertainment.
- Focus on one format: T20, ODI and Test each move at a completely different pace. It is easier to understand the markets in the format you watch most.
- Set a budget: Decide before you start how much you can afford to spend. Stay within that limit.
- Be careful with multi bets: In a three-selection multi bet the odds multiply, but if even one is wrong, the whole stake is lost. Example: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 odds — a ৳100 bet returns ৳357, but one loss means ৳100 is gone.
- Do not rush in live betting: Odds change with every ball, which creates pressure to decide instantly. Think it through calmly beforehand.
- Know the rules: Reading 1111 bit's terms and conditions makes the betting rules and payout process clear.
- Take breaks: Betting continuously reduces your ability to make good decisions. It is better to rest a little after each match.
