Everything you need to know about betting on Bigbet – what betting is, how it works, how to read odds, and which markets offer the best opportunities – all in one place. Whether you're new or experienced, there's something here for you.
From cricket to e-sports — all the sports Bangladesh bettors love, on one platform.
When it comes to online betting in Bangladesh, cricket is always the first sport that comes to mind. On Bigbet, you can bet across all formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Coverage spans everything from IPL, BPL, and Asia Cup to Bangladesh's bilateral series.
Premier League, La Liga, UCL, World Cup — Bigbet covers over 90 football leagues and tournaments. From Asian Handicap to corner counts, hundreds of markets are available.
PUBG Mobile, CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends — Bigbet covers major esports tournaments across all these titles. This section is growing fast, especially among younger bettors.
Pro Kabaddi League is covered on Bigbet. Kabaddi betting is popular among Bangladeshi bettors because it's a sport close to home — the teams and players are familiar.
From Grand Slams to ATP 500 events, Bigbet covers all the major tennis tournaments. Set betting and live in-play tennis betting are particularly enjoyable.
Bigbet also covers NBA, EuroLeague basketball, volleyball, handball, baseball, and many more sports. Head to the Sports section to see if your favourite sport is available.
Live betting on Bigbet is more than just placing bets while a match is on – new odds arrive after every ball, after every goal. Knowing when to act is where the real skill lies.
In betting, odds reflect the probability of an event occurring. Bigbet uses decimal odds.
All odds on Bigbet are displayed in decimal format — the easiest format to read. The higher the number, the greater the potential return, but the lower the chance of winning.
Calculating your winnings is simple — just multiply: stake × odds = total return. Your profit is the total return minus your original stake.
A value bet is when you believe the odds offered by Bigbet are higher than the true probability of the outcome. In the long run, sustained profit is only possible through consistent value betting.
In an accumulator, the odds of all selections are multiplied together. So three selections at 1.8 × 1.8 × 1.8 gives you accumulator odds of 5.83.
Odds change both before and during a match. Injuries, weather conditions, or large bets can all cause odds to shift. You can track odds movements on Bigbet.
When there is a clear strength gap between two teams, a handicap is applied. The weaker team is given a virtual advantage to level out the odds.
Each market on Bigbet comes with its own potential returns and skill requirements.
| Market Name | Which Sport | Average Odds | Difficulty | For Beginners |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match Winner (1X2) | Cricket, Football, Tennis | 1.7 – 2.5 | Easy | Ideal |
| Over/Under Goals | Football | 1.7 – 1.9 | Easy | Ideal |
| Top Batsman | Cricket | 2.5 – 5.0 | Medium | After Practice |
| Handicap | Cricket, Football, Basketball | 1.8 – 2.2 | Medium | After Practice |
| Accumulator (3–5 Fold) | All Sports | 5.0 – 20.0+ | Medium | With a Small Stake |
| First Goalscorer | Football | 5.0 – 15.0 | Hard | For Experienced Bettors |
| Live In-Play Bet | All Sports | Variable | Hard | For Experienced Bettors |
Betting means predicting the outcome of an event and placing a set amount of money on that prediction. On platforms like Bigbet, the process is entirely digital – you click on the odds, enter your stake, and confirm. If your prediction is correct, the winnings are credited according to the odds; if not, your stake is lost.
Many people think betting is purely a game of luck. That's partly true. But those who bet profitably on Bigbet over the long run don't rely on luck alone. They study statistics, analyse form, and above all, manage their bankroll with discipline.
In Bangladesh, betting has become a form of entertainment for many – much like watching cricket itself. During seasons like the IPL or the World Cup, the number of new bettors on Bigbet rises noticeably. To enjoy this responsibly, though, it's important to understand a few fundamentals.
Pre-match betting means placing your bet before a match begins, giving you more time to research. Live betting means placing bets while the match is in play. On Bigbet, live odds shift every few seconds, so quick decision-making is essential. If you're new, start with pre-match betting and move to live betting later.
For new bettors, Match Winner or Over/Under markets are the best place to start. These are straightforward — you simply pick from two or three possible outcomes. Save the more complex markets, like Correct Score or First Goalscorer, for when you've built up some experience. Bigbet provides detailed descriptions for every market.
Drawn from the habits of experienced bettors — practices proven to work over the long term.
Before you start betting on Bigbet, decide on a fixed amount to set aside as your betting bankroll. Never stake more than 2–3% of that bankroll on a single bet. This is the single most important strategy – everything else comes after.
No one can master every sport equally. On Bigbet, focus on the sport or league you know best. If T20 cricket is your strength, stick to T20.
Bigbet lets you view your full betting history. Review your records once a month – see which markets you're performing well in and where you're consistently losing. This data is your most valuable tool for improving your strategy.
You don't need to bet on every match. On Bigbet, only place bets where you genuinely believe the odds exceed the true probability. Fewer bets with higher value can be more profitable in the long run.
Always betting on your favourite team is a common mistake. On Bigbet, base your decisions on statistics, form, and lineup analysis. Letting emotion drive your bets is a sure path to long-term losses.
If you lose several bets in a row, stop for the day. Chasing losses on Bigbet — placing bigger bets to try to recover — is the most dangerous habit you can develop. Visit the responsible betting page to set your limits.
Say you start with ৳ 5,000 on Bigbet. Staking 3% per bet means a maximum of ৳ 150 on any single bet. See below to understand how this approach works in practice.
For illustrative purposes only. Actual results may vary.
Betting 3% of your bankroll means you can lose 33 consecutive bets without going broke. In practice, no one loses 33 bets in a row. This approach protects your bankroll through a bad run and lets it grow steadily during a good one.

In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it's a passion. When you combine that passion with the right knowledge and strategy, cricket betting on Bigbet becomes a genuine intellectual challenge. Bangladeshi bettors have a significant advantage: they know the BCB squad's form, pitch conditions, the nature of local wickets, and individual player performances far better than any overseas bettor. Using this "information edge" effectively can give you a real advantage in Bigbet's cricket markets.
T20 cricket betting is the most popular because matches are short and results come quickly. That said, T20 is also more unpredictable – a single over can completely change the course of a game. On Bigbet, you can bet on more than just the match winner in T20; markets include runs in a specific over, wickets in the powerplay, and more.
The Over/Under 2.5 Goals market is one of football's most popular bets because you don't need to predict a winner — just whether the total goals in a match will be Over or Under 2.5. High-scoring teams lean toward Over; defensive ones lean toward Under. On Bigbet, checking the average goals from a team's last 10 matches in a specific league makes the decision relatively straightforward.
Bigbet offers several types of bonuses — welcome bonus, reload bonus, free bets, and cashback. Used correctly, these can significantly boost your betting bankroll. However, every bonus comes with wagering requirements, so it's important to read them carefully. For example, a 5x wagering requirement on a ৳ 1,000 bonus means you need to place ৳ 5,000 in bets before withdrawing. The safest approach is to use your bonus across smaller, spread-out bets.
Good betting starts with good information. For cricket, Cricinfo and Cricbuzz are the go-to reliable sources. For football, Sofascore and Flashscore give you lineups, form, and head-to-head stats. Bigbet also provides its own analysis on the betting tips page. The more informed you are before placing a bet, the better your decisions will be.

"Before I joined Bigbet, I thought betting was purely down to luck. But after analysing my first six months of betting history, I found my win rate in T20 cricket was 63%, while in football it was only 48%. Since then, I've focused exclusively on T20."
