Cricket Betting at ptc55 – Best Odds on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Across every cricket format — T20, ODI and Test — ptc55 offers a range of markets, live odds and easy Bangladeshi payment methods. Before the match or during it, betting is always available.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Betting on each of cricket's three formats is a different experience. A T20 match lasts just a few hours — fast overs, big shots and results that can change on the last ball. ODI is not five days but fifty overs of balance — batting, bowling and fielding all play an equal role. Test cricket is a five-day battle of strategy where pitch conditions and weather are also important factors.
For Bangladeshi fans, the BPL tournament brings excitement every season. Stadiums fill up to watch teams from different cities across the country compete, and betting markets stay active throughout the tournament. IPL is an Indian league, but Bangladeshi fans follow it closely every year. The T20 World Cup and ICC international series also bring cricket lovers together from around the world.
All these tournament matches can be bet on at ptc55. Markets open before the match starts and live odds continue to update during play — something we will cover in more detail below.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, ptc55 also offers betting on football and a few other sports. In football you can find matches from the Premier League, La Liga and various international competitions. A key difference between cricket and football is the draw — in football three outcomes are possible (Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw), whereas in limited-overs cricket there are generally only two outcomes.
This is why the odds structure in football is slightly different. Since one of three possible outcomes must be chosen, each outcome has its own separate odds. Tennis or badminton, on the other hand, have no draw, so their odds work much like limited-overs cricket.
Those interested in casino games can visit the ptc55 Casino live casino and slots section — a complete gaming experience separate from sports betting awaits there.
Popular Betting Markets
In every cricket match you can place bets on more than one market. Below is a brief overview of seven popular markets and how they work.
Match Winner
Choose which team will win the match. Example: if Team A wins, your bet is successful; if they do not, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner
Place a bet on which team will win the toss at the start of the match. The result is separate from the main match performance.
Top Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs for a specific team.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in an innings will go above or below a set line. Example: a line of 165 runs — the bettor picks either "Over" or "Under".
Multi Bet
Combine bets from multiple matches — if all are correct the odds multiply for a larger return, but if even one is wrong you lose the entire bet.
First Wicket Method
An opportunity to bet in advance on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out or something else.
Man of the Match
Who do you think will be the best performer? In this market you can also bet on the highest points-scorer of the whole team rather than naming a specific player. The result is announced officially at the end of the match.
Why Are Odds Written in Three Different Ways?
Betting sites write odds in three international formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs. At ptc55 you can choose your preferred format.
Example 1 — Odds for an Underdog
Suppose Team A will win and you bet ৳500. The same odds in three formats:
| Format | Odds | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake multiplied by 2.50 = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Profit of ৳3 for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | Profit of ৳150 on a ৳100 bet |
If you win a ৳500 bet you get back ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + original ৳500); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for a Favourite
Team B is the favourite, odds:
| Format | Odds | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return of ৳125 per ৳100 staked |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Profit of ৳1 for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | A ৳400 bet is needed to profit ৳100 |
A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (profit ৳125). The profit on a favourite is lower but the probability is higher.
In American format, a "+" sign means you are not the favourite; a "-" sign means you need to stake more for a smaller profit. Betting is entertainment — do not bet beyond your budget.

Live In-Play Betting — During the Match
You can still place bets after a match has started — this is live or in-play betting. This type of betting is especially interesting in cricket, because every wicket and every over shifts the odds.
Think of it this way: Team A makes a strong start in the first innings, their odds shorten (they become the favourite). But after the powerplay two quick wickets fall and the odds shift fast — now Team B's chances of winning have improved. Live bettors watch these moments and make their decisions accordingly.
Keep in mind, though, that odds change very quickly in live betting. A six or a run-out can turn the situation around within seconds. So it is important to understand the flow of the match before placing in-play bets.
Things That Shift Odds in Live Betting
- A wicket falling — pressure on the batting team increases and odds move.
- A lot of runs in a big over — as the run rate rises, the batting team's odds shorten.
- A slow pitch after the powerplay — spinners gain an advantage.
- The required run rate in the last five overs — if the target gets difficult, the fielding team's odds shorten.
In cricket handicap markets, one team is given a "run head start" or "deficit" to set the odds. This reduces the gap between the two teams' strengths and makes the betting more even. In over/under markets, the bet is won if the result goes above or below a set line.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is for entertainment — there is no strategy that guarantees a win. Keeping the following points in mind will make the betting experience more organised and enjoyable.
- Set a fixed budget before each betting session and stop when you reach it — even after a win.
- Rather than placing one large bet on a single market, try smaller bets across multiple markets — multi bets raise the odds but also raise the risk.
- Read the pitch report and weather before a match — especially in ODI and Test cricket this information helps in understanding the markets.
- Keep your emotions in check during live betting — rather than rushing to place a large bet after one wicket, look at the full picture first.
- Never treat betting as a way to recover losses — placing bigger bets to win back a lost bet usually leads to bigger losses.
- Betting is strictly prohibited for those under 21. Visit the responsible gaming page to learn about safe and responsible betting.
Multi Bet Calculation
An example of combining three bets:
1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81
A ৳100 bet returns ৳581, but if even one of the three is wrong the entire ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets offer the chance of higher returns, but the risk is also much greater. Never put your entire budget on one multi bet.
