Latest odds on live and upcoming matches at 98bet
The first question anyone asks when getting into Sports Betting is: which platform offers the best odds? And 98bet is always part of that answer. Odds aren't just a number — they determine exactly how much you win. The higher the odds, the bigger the payout. So while the same bet might return ৳100 on another platform, 98bet could return ৳115 or more on that exact same bet — because our odds margin is among the lowest in the industry.
Odds represent the probability of an event happening, expressed as a number. 98bet displays odds in decimal format — the easiest format for players in Bangladesh. For example, if Bangladesh's odds in a Bangladesh vs India match are 2.45, a ৳100 bet returns ৳245 if it wins — that's a profit of ৳145. Keep that calculation in mind and betting becomes a lot more straightforward.
98bet offers two types of odds — pre-match odds before the game starts, and live odds during play. Pre-match odds tend to be more stable, giving you time to research before placing a bet. Live odds, on the other hand, shift moment to moment — a wicket or a big shot can change them instantly. Experienced bettors often find strong opportunities in live odds: when an exciting moment causes the algorithm to push odds higher, a well-timed bet can deliver solid returns.
98bet offers the widest range of cricket betting markets available. It goes well beyond just "who wins" — major matches can have 80 to 120 individual markets. You can bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over, whether a specific batter will hit a century, which bowler will take the most wickets, and what the highest individual score of the match will be.

Why 98bet's Odds Stand Apart from the Rest
In live matches, odds update after every ball — the fastest refresh rate in the market. That means the best opportunities reach you before anyone else.
98bet's odds margin is just 2–3%, meaning you get better returns on every bet. Over time, that difference adds up significantly.
Cash out a partial profit from your active bet while the match is still in play. If the outcome looks uncertain, Cash Out to secure your returns.
Combine bets from multiple matches into one — the odds multiply together, giving you the chance to win big from a small stake.
Watch live streams on selected matches while you bet. See the on-field situation for yourself and make informed decisions — no need to rely on guesswork.
Everything available on desktop is available on mobile too. All markets and all odds are visible in the app — nothing is hidden or cut down.

Many people think betting is purely down to luck. But experienced bettors know that picking the right market at the right time puts you well ahead of the game. Opening an account with 98bet gives you access to a massive range of markets — but making the most of them takes a bit of know-how.
Before placing any bet, check the recent form of the team or player involved. Results from the last five matches, pitch conditions, and any key injury concerns — all of this is available directly on 98bet's match page. Making data-driven decisions goes a long way in cutting down unnecessary risk.
Don't limit yourself to the "who wins" market — explore the others too. Not sure who'll win a match but think it'll be a high-scoring game? Bet the Over/Under market instead. Think a certain batter always performs well at this ground? Place a bet on their century market. All these options are always open on 98bet.
Accumulator or parlay bets multiply your odds together, which can significantly boost your potential winnings. But one wrong selection and the whole bet is lost. Start with 2–3 matches in your accumulator — adding too many legs increases the risk considerably. 98bet also offers an accumulator bonus, with extra rewards for adding more matches.
One of the biggest mistakes in live betting is placing a bet on every single ball. Avoid that. Instead, wait for a specific situation to develop — for example, if a team's odds spike suddenly after the first wicket falls, that's your window. 98bet's live interface displays a scorecard, over rate, and momentum indicator to help you make the right call at the right moment.
Bankroll management is key to long-term success in Sports Betting. Experts recommend staking no more than 2–5% of your total balance on any single bet. 98bet lets you set deposit and betting limits — make use of these responsible gaming tools.
How to Pick the Best Odds on 98bet
Browse the odds across different markets within the same match. Side markets often offer better value than the main market.
Odds shift in the hours leading up to a match. Waiting until team news and line-ups are confirmed before placing your bet can give you a real edge.
In cricket, pitch conditions and weather directly affect the odds. If rain is likely, tread carefully in the over/under markets.
Use Cash Out mid-match to lock in a profit. Taking a partial win is smarter than holding out for the full payout and ending up with nothing.

Head-to-head history between two sides can be very revealing. You'll find these stats easily on the match page at 98bet.
