Cricket betting at haha 555 — place bets on BPL, IPL and T20 through to Test in every format
The closest betting experience to Bangladesh's most popular sport. From before the first ball to just before the last — haha 555 is with you.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket is more than a sport in Bangladesh — it is a passion. From the lanes of Dhaka to the stadium stands, every Bangladesh Tigers match holds people's breath. haha 555 supports betting across three main formats.
T20 is the fastest format. In tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL, every ball creates a new opportunity. Odds change quickly, so staying focused is essential.
ODI offers deeper strategy over 50 overs. Major events like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy provide more opportunity for pre-match betting.
Test cricket unfolds over five days with results becoming clear gradually. A draw is a possible outcome, so the market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
BPL
Bangladesh Premier League — the country's top T20 tournament and the highest source of betting traffic.
IPL
India's IPL is the largest T20 franchise league internationally — with the highest number of markets.
T20 World Cup
ICC's global T20 tournament — excitement is always higher when the Bangladesh Tigers are taking part.
Test Series
Bilateral Test series offer long-term analysis and multi-day betting opportunities.
Popular Betting Markets
A cricket match can have dozens of markets. Below is a brief introduction to seven markets and simple examples of how each one works.
Match Winner
A direct bet on which team will win. T20 and ODI have two options (Team A / Team B); Test has three (Team A, Team B, Draw). The simplest and most widely played market.
Easy MarketToss
The result is known before the match starts — which team wins the toss. The probability is generally even, so odds usually stay close to 2.00.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs for a specific team. The result is clear from the scorecard at the end of the innings.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a line — for example, 160 runs. You bet on whether the team's total will be above that (over) or below it (under). Wickets and pitch conditions are relevant here.
TotalsMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined on a single slip — odds multiply, so the potential win is larger. But if any one selection loses, the entire bet loses. Full details on multi bets are available at haha 555 Bet.
Higher ReturnOver of First Wicket
A bet on which over the batting team's first wicket will fall. This market is especially active when the opening bowler is strong.
Special MarketHandicap Betting
To level the difference in strength between two teams, the bookmaker gives the weaker team a 'virtual' head start in runs. Example — giving Team B +20 runs means Team B's bet wins even if they score 20 runs fewer than Team A. Understanding the handicap correctly is important, because the result depends not just on the winner but on the run margin.
Multi Bet Example
You made three separate selections across three matches — the odds were 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90. Multiplied together: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳452 if all three win. But if any one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
How odds work in three formats
The same odds are written in three different ways. The difference is only in presentation — the mathematics is the same. haha 555 generally shows decimal format, as it is the most straightforward to read.
| Format | Odds for Fighter A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A: A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,500 on a win (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake). If lost, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite): A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 on a win (৳125 profit). In American format, -400 means a ৳400 stake is needed to make ৳100 profit.
How odds change when a wicket falls
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic experience in cricket. Every ball, every wicket and every boundary instantly changes the odds while the match is in progress.
Say Team A is batting, with 120 runs in 15 overs — odds are in their favour. Suddenly two wickets fall in quick succession. The bookmaker will now shorten Team B's odds, as the pressure has shifted to the batting team.
Powerplay overs, death overs, free hits and reviews — at each of these moments odds and markets shift quickly. You can check real-time data and make fast decisions in haha 555's W Live section.
- Odds update instantly on every wicket
- Over-by-over markets are available in live betting only
- The cash-out feature lets you close a bet before the match ends
- Bet while watching live scores on mobile with the haha 555 App
Football and Other Sports
After cricket, football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. From tea stalls on Hospital Road to university hostels, the Premier League, La Liga and Champions League are always being discussed.
Football betting differs from cricket in some ways. In football, a draw is a common and frequent outcome, so the match winner market always has three results — home, away and draw. In cricket (T20/ODI) there is no draw, only a tie or super over, so the market has two options.
Football has goalscorer markets, Both Teams to Score (BTTS) and first-half result — these markets do not exist in cricket. Conversely, top batsman or over of first wicket are markets unique to cricket.
For a different experience in boxing — haha 555's boxing betting section has separate offers including round betting, method and KO/TKO markets.

Practical Betting Tips
Betting is a form of entertainment. The tips below will help you keep your experience more aware and controlled.
Set your budget first
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend in each session. When you reach that limit, stop — chasing losses risks losing even more.
Focus on one market
If you are a new bettor, start by getting comfortable with the match winner market. Betting across too many markets at once splits your focus.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in-play. Quick decisions are sometimes needed, but increasing your bet out of emotion after a wicket falls is not a good habit.
Be careful with multi bets
Returns are larger with multi bets — but if one result is wrong, everything is lost. Combining more than three selections raises the risk considerably.
Learn about responsible betting
To make sure betting does not become a burden, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines once. Remember the age limit — betting is prohibited for those under 21.
