hot Cricket Betting — bet at the best odds from T20 to Test
From BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup to international Test series — hot offers betting on every cricket format. Match winner to live in-play, all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it's a passion. At hot you can bet on the three main formats: T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and tactics, which is reflected in the betting markets available.
T20: The shortest and fastest format. In just 20 overs, the result can swing either way. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and both leagues are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: This 50-over format is more tactics-based. The ICC World Cup is played in ODI format, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide. At hot, ODI matches have markets ranging from the toss to session-based betting.
Test: The oldest and most prestigious form of cricket, played over five days. Betting on Test matches is a little different — a draw is also a possible result, which makes the markets more varied.
Beyond these, hot also offers betting on the T20 World Cup, Asia Cup and international bilateral series. Whether you're a busy cricket fan in Dhaka or a devoted follower in a rural town, hot's cricket betting is easy to access for everyone.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
At hot you can bet on football as well as cricket. The betting experience for each sport is quite different. In cricket, the momentum shifts gradually — a single wicket or one big over can change the whole equation. In football, goals are generally fewer, but the result can change at any moment.
Football typically has three possible outcomes — home win, draw and away win. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, so all bets are split between two main outcomes. Test cricket allows a draw, so odds are structured differently. Understanding how each sport works helps you choose the right market.
If you want to bet on multiple sports at the same time outside of cricket, check out the multi bet option — it lets you add selections from different matches to a single slip and bet at combined odds.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
hot offers a range of markets for cricket betting. New bettors usually start with match winner, while experienced bettors move into more specialised markets.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team B will win, so you place a bet on Team B. If Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Betting
Which team will win the toss — this 50/50 market is straightforward but entirely unpredictable. In T20 matches, the toss can have a big impact, especially on dew-affected pitches.
Top Batsman
Which batsman in a team will score the most runs in an innings or across the match — this market lets you bet on individual performance. Example: who will score the most runs for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number — in this market, who wins or loses does not matter; only the run count.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Add selections from multiple matches to a single slip and bet at combined odds. Example: betting on three matches at odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90 gives combined odds of 4.52 — but all three must be correct.
Wicket and Bowling Markets
How many wickets will fall in a bowling spell, or which bowler will take the most wickets — these markets are popular among cricket-savvy bettors. A good understanding of pitch and conditions makes these markets interesting.

How to Read Odds — Three Formats
At hot, odds are displayed in three different formats. The meaning is the same across all three; only the way they are written differs. The two examples below make this easy to understand.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A (underdog)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A winning returns a total of ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite)
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins, the total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).

Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift the Moment a Wicket Falls
Live in-play betting at hot adds a whole new dimension to watching cricket. You can place bets after the match has started — and odds keep changing with every ball.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately and the bowling team's odds shorten. A big six or four causes the reverse. Many experienced bettors look at the scoreboard at the end of the powerplay and make their in-play decisions from there.
Live betting is also available on over-by-over markets. For example, how many runs will be scored in the next over, or whether a wicket will fall off the next ball — these moment-to-moment markets are what set the in-play experience apart.
In-play betting requires quick decisions because odds update constantly. hot's mobile-friendly interface makes this straightforward.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is one form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more balanced.
What works in T20 may not apply in Test cricket. Understanding the characteristics of each format helps you choose better markets.
Decide how much you want to bet before you start. Staying within a set budget is the sensible approach.
Adding many selections to a single slip raises the odds, but one wrong pick voids the whole slip. It is better to start with small multi bets.
In-play odds change fast, but bet based on reading the situation rather than acting on impulse.
Read the betting terms, wagering conditions and market rules beforehand. Full details are available on hot's terms and conditions page.
Cricket betting is a way to have fun — enjoy it as entertainment rather than viewing it as a source of income.
