Betting is more than luck — it's a game of strategy

Those who have been betting on 1st game for a long time know that analyzing the numbers, understanding team form, and making the right call at the right moment is what really makes the difference. The passion Bangladesh has for cricket can be channeled into knowledge-based betting — and when that happens, the whole experience changes.

How do you read odds?
Odds are a number that tells you how much you'll get back if your bet wins. For example, odds of 1.85 mean that a BDT 100 bet returns BDT 185 if you win (including your original stake). On 1st game, you can view odds in three formats: decimal, fractional, and American.
The decimal format is the easiest place to start. It's simple to understand and quick to calculate. Most players in Bangladesh bet using this format.
| Match | Team 1 | Draw | Team 2 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangladesh vs India | 2.10 | 3.40 | 1.75 | LIVE |
| Man City vs Arsenal | 1.90 | 3.60 | 3.80 | LIVE |
| Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | 1.65 | — | 2.25 | Tonight at 8:00 PM |
| Barcelona vs Real | 2.30 | 3.20 | 2.80 | Tomorrow |
Live Betting — The Most Thrilling Experience
Live betting is where 1st game truly stands out. Odds shift and momentum changes as the match unfolds — and making the right call in the moment can lead to big rewards.
Say Bangladesh has a strong start in the first innings but loses a few wickets mid-way — in that situation, odds shift and the opposing team's odds go up. If you think Bangladesh will turn it around, that's exactly the moment to place a bet for better value. That's precisely the opportunity 1st game's live betting is designed to give you.
6 Core Principles of Smart Betting
Do your research first
Before placing a bet, check the team's recent form, head-to-head record, and pitch conditions.
Divide Your Bankroll
Never put more than 5%–10% of your total budget on a single bet — that's the rule professionals follow.
Compare multiple odds
Compare odds across different markets on 1st game to find the best value bet.
Keep your emotions in check
Betting for your favorite team and betting based on information — these are two very different things.
Think long-term
One bad day doesn't mean it's over. Consistent small wins are what build long-term profit.
Stay responsible
Betting is entertainment — never wager money you can't afford to lose.

Accumulator bets — big wins from small stakes
An accumulator — or "acca" — is a bet where you predict the outcomes of multiple matches combined into one. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to deliver a much bigger payout. For example, four bets each with odds of 1.8 combine to give total odds of 1.8×1.8×1.8×1.8 = 10.49. That means a BDT 500 bet could return around BDT 5,250 if all legs win.
The risk is higher though — one wrong leg and the entire bet is lost. 1st game offers a dedicated acca bonus that gives up to 20% extra on your winnings.
Cash out feature — make the call on your own terms
The cash out feature on 1st game gives you more flexibility in your betting experience. You can partially or fully cash out your bet before the match ends. If the game is turning against you, lock in a guaranteed return before the loss hits.
This feature is especially useful in live betting. When you can read how a match is unfolding, cashing out at the right moment means cutting your risk and securing your return.
