Cricket Formats on wg8
wg8 covers all three major cricket formats plus the two tournaments Bangladeshi fans care about most.
| Format / Tournament | Length | What to bet on |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs per side | Fast-moving; ideal for in-play bets on next over runs, fall of wicket, super overs |
| ODI | 50 overs per side | Wider markets: session run totals, partnership runs, player performance |
| Test | Up to 5 days | Series result, innings winner, day-by-day run totals |
| BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) | T20 | All BPL fixtures; local team fans can back Tigers franchises in-play |
| IPL (Indian Premier League) | T20 | High-volume markets; match winner, top batsman, most wickets in a match |
Common Bet Types
You will see these markets on almost every match in wg8's sportsbook section.
| Bet Type | What it means | Example selection |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner (1X2) | Pick the team that wins the match | Team A to win the T20 |
| Total Runs (Over/Under) | Will total runs in an innings or match be above or below the line? | Over 160.5 runs in a T20 innings |
| Top Batsman | Which player scores the most runs for their team in this innings? | Player X to be top scorer for Team A |
| Top Bowler | Which player takes the most wickets for their team? | Player Y to take the most wickets for Team B |
| First Wicket Method | How will the first wicket fall? (caught, bowled, LBW, etc.) | First wicket falls caught behind |
| Six Sixes | Will a specific over produce a six? (popular in T20) | At least one six in over 18 |
How Decimal Odds Work
wg8 displays odds in decimal format. The number tells you how much you receive back for every ৳1 you bet — including your stake.
Suppose Team A is listed at odds of 2.40 and you bet ৳500.
If Team A wins: ৳500 × 2.40 = ৳1,200 returned (your ৳500 stake + ৳700 profit).
If Team A loses: your ৳500 stake is lost.
A higher decimal number means the outcome is less likely — and the payout is larger. A number like 1.50 means the team is the favourite; you get back ৳750 on a ৳500 bet.
Live odds change during the match as runs, wickets and weather shift the balance. Odds displayed at the time you confirm your bet are the odds that apply to your wager.

- Set a fixed budget per week and do not chase losses by increasing your stake.
- Use the wg8 session limit or deposit limit tools in your account settings.
- Never bet money you need for daily expenses, rent, or bills.
- Take a break if betting stops feeling fun.
