Find a Market and Learn to Read the Odds
When you enter the sports section on 888bet, markets are organised by sport. Clicking on a match shows all available betting options for that match — match winner, handicap, total runs or goals, and more.
Decimal Odds
The most familiar format for bettors in Bangladesh. Odds of 2.50 means a total return of ৳250 for every ৳100 staked.
DecimalFractional Odds
UK style — 3/2 means ৳300 profit on a ৳200 bet. Only the profit is calculated, excluding the original stake.
FractionalAmerican Odds
+150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet; −200 means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.
AmericanThe lower the odds, the more favoured the team — the higher the chance of winning, but the lower the profit. Example: Team B wins — Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200. Total return on a ৳200 bet is ৳300 (profit of only ৳100).
Bet Slip — Single and Multi Bets
Clicking on any odds automatically adds it to the bet slip. Once you enter the stake, the potential return is shown instantly.
You can place a multi bet by keeping multiple selections in the bet slip at the same time. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, which increases the potential return — but all selections must win.
Sports and Casino — Where to Bet

Bet History — Open and Settled Bets
In the account section of 888bet, you will find the "Bet History" option. It is divided into two parts:
Open Bets
Bets where the result has not yet come in. You can see the pending amount and potential return.
Settled Bets
Bets whose results have been processed — wins, losses, and cancellations — all on record.
Checking your bet history regularly helps you understand your own betting patterns. How much was staked, how much came back — these figures are important for betting responsibly.
For detailed guidelines, read the responsible gaming page.
Set a Budget — Decide Your Limits Before You Start
Betting is for enjoyment — setting your own limits before you start is the best way to keep the risk low.
Daily Budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet each day. Once you reach that limit, stop betting for the day.
BudgetLoss Limit
Decide in advance how much you are willing to lose before you stop. Chasing losses by placing more bets is dangerous.
LimitTime Limit
Also decide how long you will bet each day. Spending too much time betting can lead to emotional decisions.
