Two Key Concepts — A Simple Guide for Beginners
What Are Odds and How Do You Read Them?
- Definition
- Odds are a number that tells you how much you get back for every BDT 1 wagered. Decimal odds of 1.85 mean a ৳100 bet returns ৳185 — a profit of ৳85.
- Example
- If Bangladesh's odds are 2.10 in a Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match, a ৳500 bet would return ৳1,050 on a win.
How Does Handicap Betting Work?
- Definition
- In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage to bring both sides' odds closer together. This levels the playing field from a betting perspective.
- Example
- If England is given a -50 run handicap against Afghanistan, your bet wins only if England wins by 51 runs or more.
Betting Terms — Plain and Simple
Backing means placing a bet on a team or player to win. It's the most common form of betting.
Betting on a team to lose. This method is used on exchange platforms.
