Bet Before Kick-off — Pre-Match Odds
An odd is a number that tells you how much you can win for a given stake — and how strongly the bookmaker rates each side.
Vs98 displays odds in decimal format, which most bettors in Bangladesh find easy to follow. For example, odds of 1.75 mean a BDT 100 bet returns BDT 175 if you win (stake included) — a profit of BDT 75.
The lower the odds, the stronger the favorite. The higher the odds, the less likely the outcome — but the bigger the return if it lands.
Vs98 uses decimal format — simple and straightforward
| Format | Example | Return on ৳100 | Where It's Used | On vs98 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | BDT 250 (Profit 150) | Europe, Asia | Default |
| Fractional | 3/2 | BDT 250 (Profit 150) | United Kingdom | |
| American | +150 | BDT 250 (Profit 150) | USA | |
| Hong Kong | 1.50 | BDT 250 (Profit 150) | Hong Kong, Asia | |
| Indonesian | 1.50 | Special Markets | Southeast Asia |
Return = Stake × Odds. Example: ৳500 × 2.50 = ৳1,250 total return. Profit = ৳1,250 – ৳500 = ৳750.
Odds don't stay fixed. When a lot of bettors back one side, that side's odds shorten and the opponent's lengthen. That shift is what's known as odds movement.
Tracking odds movements on vs98 gives you a read on where the market is heading. If a team's odds drop sharply, it usually means professional bettors are backing them heavily — that's worth paying attention to.
That said, it's wise not to base decisions on odds movements alone — always cross-reference with the information on the analysis page.
For New Bettors on vs98
The team with the lowest odds is considered the favorite by bookmakers. Odds of 1.50 mean that team has roughly a 67% chance of winning.
A win for the higher-odds side pays out much more. A BDT 100 bet on a team at 4.00 returns BDT 400 if they win.
When you believe a team's actual winning probability is higher than what the odds suggest — that's a value bet. This concept is the key to profitable betting over the long run.
Each match offers a variety of odds markets
The simplest bet — which team or player wins the match. Cricket offers two options; football offers three (1X2).
Bet on whether the total runs, goals, or points will be over or under a set number — two options, straightforward choice.
A virtual advantage is given to the weaker team to level the playing field. Asian Handicap is especially popular.
Top run scorer, top wicket-taker, first goalscorer — betting on individual player performance.
Bet on shifting odds while the match is live — runs in the next over, who scores the next goal, and more.
Combine bets from multiple matches into one. Get it all right and the returns are significant — but so is the risk.
In Bangladesh's online betting scene, odds are at the heart of everything. Yet many new bettors place bets based on the numbers alone, without trying to understand the math behind them. At vs98, we want every bettor to make informed decisions.
Say Bangladesh has odds of 2.80 and India 1.45 in a T20 match. It might seem like betting on Bangladesh offers a bigger payout — and it does — but those odds reflect the market seeing India as a significantly stronger side. Bangladesh fans who bet on emotion often end up losing.
Behind every odds figure is a probability calculation. Converting decimal odds to probability is straightforward — the formula is: probability = 1 ÷ odds × 100%. So odds of 2.00 imply a 50% chance, and odds of 1.50 imply a 67% chance.
When you check odds on vs98, you'll notice that adding the implied probability of both sides comes to slightly more than 100%. That extra percentage is the bookmaker's margin, or "vig." It's a standard part of how the business works.
Bangladesh odds 1.75 → implied probability 57.1% | Sri Lanka odds 2.10 → implied probability 47.6% | Total 104.7% → the extra 4.7% is the margin. vs98's margin is competitive within the industry.
Every event during a match affects the odds. If a key batter is dismissed in cricket or a goal is scored in football, vs98's live odds update within seconds. That's why quick decision-making is essential in live betting.
A common mistake among bettors in Bangladesh is chasing losses with rushed live bets. It's a risky habit. vs98 recommends keeping a clear head with every bet — don't try to recover losses by betting more after a bad run.
Odds movements on vs98 work differently for Bangladesh Premier League matches, because local fans tend to bet heavily based on emotion. In a Dhaka vs Cumilla match, for instance, a flood of bets on Dhaka pushes their odds down — but that doesn't always reflect the reality on the pitch.
A smart bettor looks for value where the crowd isn't. vs98's odds comparison feature makes it easier to spot those opportunities.
One last thing — understanding odds doesn't guarantee success in betting. It's a tool. But used wisely, it makes your betting experience on vs98 far more informed and enjoyable. Always stay within your budget and bet responsibly.
