abc8 Bet — Complete Sports Betting Guide from Start to Finish
From login to bet slip, multi bet and viewing bet history — how betting works at abc8 is explained here in plain language.
Login and adding funds to your account
Before placing a bet on abc8, the first step is to access your account. Go to the abc8 Login page and sign in with your username and password. Login works the same way on mobile and desktop, and your account is secured through OTP verification.
After logging in, make a deposit. You can use bKash, Nagad and Rocket to deposit at abc8. The minimum deposit is just ৳300. Deposits are usually credited quickly, after which you can go to the betting markets.
To withdraw, use the same payment method — bKash, Nagad or Rocket. The minimum withdrawal is ৳800 and funds are generally received within one hour.
Finding markets and reading odds
Entering the sports section of abc8 Bet shows a list of different sports — cricket, football, badminton, tennis and many more. Odds are shown next to each event. Odds come in three main formats: decimal, fractional and American.
Most players in Bangladesh prefer decimal odds because the calculation is straightforward — stake × odds = total return.
| Odds Format | Team A to win | Return on ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳1,250 |
| American | +150 | ৳1,250 |
All three formats express the same odds — only the way they are written differs. If the bet loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
The favourite's odds are generally lower. For example, if Team B is the favourite, odds might be decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Each match has multiple markets — match winner, handicap, over/under — choose the one you understand.
In cricket betting, match winner markets for tournaments like BPL, IPL or T20 World Cup are popular. For example in a limited-overs match: Team A odds 1.65, Team B odds 2.30. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,300 if Team B wins (৳1,300 profit); if Team A wins, the full ৳1,000 is lost. For more on cricket betting, visit the abc8 Cricket Betting page.
Bet Slip — single and multi bets
Clicking on any odds adds them to the bet slip. The bet slip is a small panel on the side or bottom of the screen where you enter your stake and confirm the bet.
Single Bet
A bet on one market only. Once you enter the stake, the potential return is shown. For example, a ৳500 bet on Team A at odds of 2.50 returns ৳1,250 if it wins — ৳500 is lost if it loses.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Adding multiple selections to the bet slip lets you combine them into a multi bet. The odds of all selections are multiplied together to form the combined odds.
Multi bets can offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. For beginners, it is better to start with single bets.
Betting on sports and casino games
Sports Betting
Enter the sports section on abc8 Bet and choose your preferred sport and tournament. With the live betting option you can place bets while a match is in progress, where odds change from moment to moment. In pre-match betting, once a bet is confirmed before the match starts, the odds are fixed.

Betting on Casino Games
Alongside sports, abc8 has live casino games — baccarat, roulette, Teen Patti and much more. The way you bet differs per game, but bets are deducted from your account balance and winnings are added immediately.
To see the full list of live casino and slot games, go to the abc8 Casino page.
Betting Exchange
On the exchange you can bet not only on a team to win (BACK) but also on a team not to win (LAY). Backing Team A with ৳500 gives you ৳500 profit before commission if they win; if they do not win, ৳500 is lost. With a LAY bet the position is reversed — if Team A does not win you receive ৳500, but if they do win you pay ৳500.
Handicap and Over/Under
In handicap markets the weaker team is given an advantage, bringing the odds of both sides closer together. Over/Under markets involve betting on whether a total number of runs or goals will be more or less than a set line — a different type of bet from simply picking a winner.
Cash Out
Many markets allow you to cash out before a match ends. If a match is going well you can take a guaranteed profit, or if it is going poorly you may get some of your stake back. Cash out is not available on all matches at all times.
Viewing open and settled bets in bet history
Log in to your abc8 account and go to the 'Bet History' or 'My Bets' section to find all your betting records.
Open Bets
Bets whose results have not yet been decided appear under 'Open Bets'. The stake, selection, odds and potential return are shown here.
Settled Bets
Once a result is in, a bet becomes 'Settled'. For winning bets the amount won is shown, and for losing bets the amount lost is clearly stated.

Setting a budget and limits before you start betting
Betting is entertainment — to keep it that way, it is important to set certain limits in advance. abc8 Bet has several tools to help you with this.
Set a Daily Budget
Decide in advance how much money you will spend on betting each day. Once that amount is used up, stop betting for the day.
Time Limits
Set yourself a time limit for how long you will bet each day. Long sessions reduce your ability to make clear decisions.
Loss Limit
Once you have lost a set amount, stop all betting for the day. Placing more bets to recover lost money makes the situation worse.
Controlling Bet Size
Keep each bet to a small portion of your total budget. Large single bets drain your balance quickly.
Pausing or Closing Your Account
If needed, you can contact abc8 support to request a temporary pause on your account. This is an important part of responsible gaming.
Entertainment is the Goal
Betting is not a source of income — it is entertainment. Remind yourself regularly that both winning and losing are normal, and be prepared for either.
21+ Betting and casino activities are for persons aged 21 and above only. Read the Terms and Conditions for full rules.
