What is Betting and How to Get Started
Sports Betting means wagering money on the predicted outcome of a sporting event. For example, if you bet ৳ on Bangladesh beating India and the result matches, you win a payout based on the given odds. At 12b, you can bet on cricket, football, tennis, and more.
Odds are the numbers that determine your potential payout. The higher the odds, the bigger the possible return — but the less likely the outcome. For example, odds of 2.5 mean a ৳100 bet returns ৳250 if you win. Odds on 12b update in real time, so checking them before the match starts is always the smart move.
What Types of Bets Are Available for Each Sport
Cricket Betting
Cricket is the most popular betting category in Bangladesh. You can bet on specific markets like match winner, top batsman, highest run scorer, and first wicket. 12b regularly offers betting on BPL, IPL, Test, and ODI series — including in-play betting while the match is live.
Football Betting
You can bet on international club and national team matches, including the English Premier League, La Liga, and the Champions League. Markets cover match result (1X2), both teams to score, over/under, and more. Betting options are also available for Bangladesh national football team matches.
Other Sports
Betting is also available on less mainstream sports like tennis, badminton, and kabaddi. Special betting markets are added during major international events such as the Olympics and the World Cup. Since rules and odds vary by sport, it's worth reading the details before placing a bet.
