Bet on far more than just win or lose — explore a wide range of markets
The most familiar market. Bet on which team or player will win. Most popular in cricket and football.
A handicap gives the weaker side a virtual head start to level the playing field. This market is particularly popular among experienced bettors.
Bet on whether the total goals, runs, or points will exceed a set number. Simple but effective.
Bet on live odds while the match is in progress. In-play markets on rootbet update second by second.
Bet on a specific player's performance — who will score the most runs, who will hit a hat-trick, and more.
Combine bets from multiple matches into one. The risk is higher, but the returns can be significantly greater if it comes in.
For many people, odds sound like complicated math. In reality, it's quite simple. Odds are a numerical expression of how likely an event is to happen. When you place a bet on a match at rootbet, the odds tell you exactly how much you'll get back if your bet wins.
For example, if Bangladesh's odds are 2.15 in a Bangladesh vs India match, a ৳100 bet would return ৳215 if you win — meaning a profit of ৳115. The higher the odds, the lower the implied chance of winning, but the greater the potential payout.
Rootbet offers three odds formats. For users in Bangladesh, Decimal is the most straightforward — no complicated calculations needed.
| Format | Example | Meaning | Who It's For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.15 | ৳100 bet returns ৳215 | Bangladeshi & European |
| Fractional | 23/20 | ৳23 profit on a ৳20 bet | British Tradition |
| American | +115 | ৳100 bet wins ৳115 profit | American |
Many bettors assume that backing the team with the highest odds always brings the biggest returns. In reality, it's not that straightforward. Higher odds simply mean the bookmaker rates that team as less likely to win. Instead of chasing odds alone, it's smarter to factor in current form, pitch or ground conditions, and each team's recent performances before placing a bet.
Rootbet features an odds movement tracker alongside every match. It shows which way the money is flowing in the market. A general lean in one direction can be a useful signal — though it's never a guarantee.
Rootbet's in-play section is a favourite among active bettors. Once the match is underway, you can read the game before committing. Say Bangladesh comes out batting strongly in the first over — India's odds will drift, and backing India at that point could return more than a pre-match bet would have.
Live betting does demand quick decisions, since odds shift constantly. rootbet's mobile interface is optimised exactly for this — confirm your bet with a single tap.
Set a budget before each session and stick to it.
Stick to one or two matches at a time. Spreading too thin weakens your analysis.
If the odds shift sharply out of nowhere, try to find out why.
Don't place a revenge bet right after your favourite team loses. Take a step back and think it through.

Decimal odds make calculating your potential return straightforward. The formula is:
Return Calculation
Total Return = Bet × Odds
Example: ৳500 × 2.15 = ৳1,075 (Profit ৳575)
To calculate the implied probability, divide 1 by the odds and multiply by 100:
Probability Calculator
Probability % = (1 ÷ Odds) × 100
Example: (1 ÷ 2.15) × 100 = 46.5% probability
Once you understand these calculations, you can look at the odds for any match and instantly gauge the risk involved and the potential return.
