Sports Betting at 11bet — Best Odds and Live Markets on Every Match
From cricket to football, basketball to tennis — 11bet offers both pre-match and in-play betting. Understand the markets, read the odds, and enjoy responsibly.
How Sports Betting Works
Betting is essentially a prediction — you place a wager on an outcome and the bookmaker sets odds based on the probability of that outcome.
When you back a team in a match, you are entering into an agreement with the bookmaker. Say team A's odds to win a cricket match are 2.10 — that means you get 2.1 times your stake back if they win.
On the betting slip, you choose a market, enter a stake amount, and confirm the bet. Once the match ends, winnings are added to your account or the stake is deducted according to the result.
Cricket betting at 11bet is especially popular in Bangladesh — detailed markets are available for every major tournament from BPL to the T20 World Cup. Keep in mind, betting is a form of entertainment — not a way to make financial decisions.
For ages 21 and above onlyPopular Betting Markets
11bet offers a range of markets — whether you are new or experienced, there is something for everyone.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick who will win. For example: in a match between team A and team B, you think team A will win, so you back team A.
Handicap Betting
A virtual goal or run advantage is given to level the playing field between two sides. For example: if team A is given a -1.5 run handicap, team A must win by at least 2 runs for the bet to win.
Over/Under (Total)
A bet on whether the total goals, runs, or points in a match will be above (over) or below (under) a set line. For example: whether total goals in a football match will be more than 2.5.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine bets on multiple matches and multiply the odds together. Odds of 1.50, 1.70, and 1.90 across three selections combine to 4.84 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all win, but one loss means the entire bet is gone.
First Goal/Wicket Scorer
A bet on which player will score the first goal or take the first wicket. For example: selecting a specific player from team A to score the opening goal in a football match.
Betting Exchange
Bet directly against other bettors rather than the bookmaker. BACK means betting for a win, LAY means betting against it. A commission is deducted.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Odds are shown in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. 11bet generally displays decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to bet on any site.
| Format | If Team A Wins (Example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Multiplies the full return on the bet (including stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Profit ratio — ৳2 profit on a ৳1 bet |
| American (+) | +200 | Shows how much profit a ৳100 bet would make |
| American (−) | −400 | Shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit |
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats: Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. Winning gives a total return of ৳3,000 (profit ৳2,000 + original stake ৳1,000); losing means you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds: Team B to win at decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400 (minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (profit ৳250).
The higher the odds, the greater the potential profit — but the lower the chance of winning. Decimal odds never go below 1.00.
Pre-Match vs Live Betting
Pre-Match Betting
- Bets are placed before the match starts
- Odds remain relatively stable
- There is time to analyse detailed statistics
- Easier for new bettors
- The widest range of markets is available
Live / In-Play Betting
- Bets can be placed while the match is in progress
- Odds change every moment
- Quick decisions are needed based on what is happening on the field
- Cash-out is available in many cases
- The pace is fast, so focus is essential
Watching a big match from Dhaka and live betting at the same time is something many people enjoy. However, live betting leaves less time to decide, so it is wise to set a budget before you start. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines can help with budget planning.
Useful Tips and Common Mistakes
Useful Tips
- Set a separate budget for each bet and stick to it — placing a bigger bet to recover a loss from one match is not a good idea.
- Focus on one sport. Good at cricket? Stay with cricket markets — spreading your attention across many sports reduces focus.
- Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet. Winning more than four selections together is difficult, and losing any one of them ends the whole bet.
- Read the terms carefully — before taking any bonus or offer, it is important to check the terms and conditions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Chasing losses: Placing a larger bet after a loss to recover what you lost — this is the most dangerous habit.
- Betting without understanding the odds: If you do not properly understand decimal or fractional odds, it is hard to estimate how much you could lose.
- Betting on emotion: Backing your favourite team out of emotion rather than analysis weakens your judgement.
- Too many markets at once: Placing bets across many markets in one day splits your focus and drains your budget quickly.
