888starz aviator Cricket Betting — Place bets across all markets from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Every wicket for the Tigers, every over's runs, from the toss to the final result — cricket betting at 888starz aviator is straightforward. Separate markets for T20, ODI and Test formats.
Cricket's three formats and favourite tournaments
Cricket is more than a sport in Bangladesh — it is a passion. The betting experience is quite different across T20, ODI and Test. T20 matches finish quickly, so every over and every ball carries greater weight, and markets shift fast — a single six can turn the run-rate calculation on its head. In ODI, the balance of play unfolds over 50 overs; a mid-innings wicket can change the entire course of the match. In a Test match played over five days, a team's consistency and pitch behaviour matter most.
BPL is one of the most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. The domestic franchise league features favourite Tigers players, so every match carries a special pull. IPL brings India's top teams onto the field and offers world-class cricket. In the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments, the Bangladesh Tigers prove themselves on the international stage — and betting markets are most active during these matches.
888starz aviator also covers football and other sports. In football you can bet on match results, goalscorers or corners. One difference from cricket is that a draw is a separate result in football, giving three possible outcomes. In T20 or ODI cricket, a draw is generally not possible — one of two outcomes is decided.
Popular betting markets and a brief guide to each
Cricket betting is not just about picking a match winner — having the freedom to choose a market makes betting more engaging. Below are 7 main markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Simply pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes. Example: if you choose Team B in a match between Team A and Team B, you receive a return if Team B wins.
Simple marketToss Winner
Which team wins the toss before the match starts — this market has no connection to the match result. It is entirely luck-based, so the odds for both teams are usually close.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. Pitch conditions, batting order and current form are important here. Example: betting on a player to be Team A's top batsman.
Innings marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether a team's total runs in an innings will be above or below a set number. Example: Team A's innings over 160 runs — "Over" if runs exceed it, "Under" if not.
Runs marketTop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch type and weather conditions influence this bet. Ground conditions play a big role in the spinner versus pacer contest.
Bowling marketMulti Bet
Combining several bets together. Example: betting on the results of three matches at once — if all are correct the return is higher; if even one is wrong the entire stake is lost. Both the risk and the potential return increase.
Combo marketFirst Wicket Partnership
Whether the total runs by the two openers before the first wicket falls will be above or below a set number. The opening pair's form and the nature of the pitch are the most important factors in this market.
Partnership market
How to read odds — examples in three formats
Many people get confused when they see numbers on a betting site. All three formats convey the same information — only the way it is presented differs.
| Format | Team A win odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return on a ৳500 bet: ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + stake ৳500) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 — the same result written differently |
| American | +150 | Profit of ৳150 on a ৳100 bet; a winning bet is shown with a "+" sign |
Example 1 (underdog): If you bet on Team A to win at decimal 2.50, fractional 3/2, American +150 — a ৳500 stake returns ৳1,250 in total if you win (profit ৳750 plus the original ৳500 stake back). If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite): If Team B is more likely to win, the odds are lower — decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. In the American format, a minus sign means that amount must be staked to earn ৳100 in profit. A ৳500 stake returns a total of ৳625 (profit of just ৳125).
888starz aviator defaults to decimal format as it is the easiest to understand. You can also view odds in any of the three formats.
Live betting — odds change the moment a wicket falls
Betting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. Odds update every moment — when a wicket falls the batting team's odds lengthen, and when a big over is scored they shorten.
Say Team A is batting, with 80 runs and 2 wickets down after 10 overs. At that point Team A's odds of winning are slightly favourable. If three wickets then fall in the next over, the odds will shift sharply toward Team B — because Team A is now under pressure.
Live betting requires quick decisions because odds move fast. Different markets are open during the powerplay, middle overs and death overs of a match. With a good internet connection, live bets can be placed easily on the mobile app too.
Keep in mind for live betting
Odds change very quickly, so make decisions within your own budget. Rather than putting your entire budget on one market after seeing a single wicket, place smaller bets. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can make decision-making easier.
Practical advice for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind helps maintain a good experience.
- Start with one format: T20 betting produces results the fastest, so it is a good starting point for newcomers. Once you are comfortable with one format, move on to another.
- Set your budget in advance: Decide on a total budget and stick to how much you place on a single match. After a win, pause rather than immediately putting the extra funds back in.
- Be careful with multi bets: A multi bet with three selections at decimal 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 gives combined odds of 5.13. A ৳100 stake returns ৳513 — but if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
- Use pre-match information: Pitch reports, recent team performance and weather — this information helps in choosing a market. It is better not to bet on guesswork alone without knowing the facts.
- Be patient in live betting: In-play, avoid rushing in the heat of the moment — place your bet after the odds have settled. After a big swing, odds often normalise somewhat.
- Betting is entertainment, not income: Cricket betting is for enjoyment — if you have a loss, placing more bets to recover it is not a wise move. If needed, read the FAQ or contact support.
Football and other sports markets
Beyond cricket, 888starz aviator also offers betting on football, tennis and more. In football there are three possible outcomes — home win, away win or draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there is no draw, so the odds between two outcomes are more competitive.
The handicap market is quite popular in football — a stronger team is given a negative goal handicap to level the market between the two sides. In tennis, set and game markets work in a similar way to over markets in cricket.
