Two key betting concepts to know
What are odds and how do they work
- Definition
- Odds are the number that determines how much you win relative to your stake. For example: odds of 1.90 mean a BDT 100 bet returns BDT 190 if you win.
- Decimal Odds
- Hot 18 displays odds in decimal format, which is straightforward to read. Higher odds mean a bigger potential payout — though the likelihood of winning is comparatively lower.
- Example
- If Bangladesh's odds are 2.50 in a Bangladesh vs India match, a BDT 50 bet returns BDT 125 on a win.
What is Handicap Betting
- Definition
- Handicap betting works by giving the stronger side a virtual disadvantage, leveling the playing field between the two teams and making the odds more attractive.
- Apply
- Run handicaps in cricket and goal handicaps in football are the most commonly used. For example: if India is set at -1.5 run handicap, they need to win by at least 2 runs for the bet to pay out.
- Features
- Handicap betting is popular among experienced bettors because it offers competitive odds even in one-sided matches and allows for more strategic analysis.
