Find a market and learn to read odds
After logging in, choose your preferred sport from the betting menu. sm88 has a list of matches across cricket, football, and other sports. Next to each match you will see three numbers — these are the odds, which determine the potential return on your bet.
Odds on sm88 are usually shown in decimal format. Decimal 3.00 means for every ৳1 wagered you get ৳3 back — that is, the total return including your original stake. The example below shows this in three formats:
Team A to win — Decimal: 3.00 | Fractional: 2/1 | American: +200
If you bet ৳1,000 and win, the total return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake).
If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone — this is the normal risk of betting.
Team B to win — Decimal: 1.25 | Fractional: 1/4 | American: -400
If you bet ৳1,000 and win, the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
sm88 offers several types of betting markets:
- Match Winner (who will win)
- Over/Under (total runs)
- Handicap Betting
- Live / In-Play Betting
Decimal odds are the simplest for cricket betting. In a limited-overs match there is no draw, so there are only two possible outcomes:
Team A odds 1.80, Team B odds 2.00.
If you bet ৳1,000 on Team B and Team B wins, the total return is ৳2,000 (৳1,000 profit).
If Team A wins, that ৳1,000 is lost.
The sm88 Cricket Betting page covers the markets for BPL, T20 World Cup, and other cricket events in detail.
The Bet Slip — Single and Multi Bets
Single Bet
You bet on one selection only — for example, picking one team to win a match. Once that selection appears in the bet slip, enter your stake and check the potential return. A single bet carries relatively lower risk because it depends on just one outcome.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Adding more than one selection to the bet slip creates a multi bet (or accumulator). The odds of all selections are multiplied, so the potential return is higher — but if any one of them loses, the entire bet is lost. Multi bets are popular for entertainment, but the risk is higher than a single bet.
Odds for three selections: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52 (approx.)
If you bet ৳100 and all three win, the return is ৳452.
If any one of the three loses, the full ৳100 is gone — this is the main risk of a multi bet.
Before confirming your bet, review all details on the slip — selection, stake, and potential return. Clicking the "Confirm Bet" button places the bet and the stake is deducted from your balance. The sm88 bet slip is displayed in Bengali, so it is easy to read.
Betting on Sports and Casino Games
Betting on sm88 is split into two main sections: Sportsbook and Casino. In the Sportsbook you can bet on cricket, football, and other sports — for live matches, odds change in real time.
The Casino section has live dealer games (Baccarat, Roulette), slots, and fishing games. Each casino game has its own rules — it is worth learning them before placing a bet. The sm88 Casino page has full details on all casino games.
Betting on slots is straightforward — choose your paylines and bet size, then spin. The sm88 Slots page has detailed information on popular slot games and their RTP.
In the Betting Exchange section you can take two roles — BACK (for a team) or LAY (against a team):
If you BACK Team A at decimal 1.80 with ৳500: if Team A wins, you profit ৳400 (before commission).
If Team A loses, you lose ৳500.
If you LAY: if Team A does not win, you profit ৳500 (before commission); if Team A wins, you pay ৳400.
Bet History — view your open and settled bets
Every bet on sm88 is stored in the "Bet History" or "Account Statement" section. There you will find two tabs:
- Open Bets: Bets whose matches are still in progress or where results have not yet been announced.
- Settled Bets: Bets that have won or lost, with the balance updated accordingly.
Next to each bet you can see the match name, odds, stake, potential return, and status. Checking your bet history regularly gives you a clear picture of how much you are spending and what returns you are getting.
If you have a question about the outcome of any bet, take the bet ID from the history and contact sm88 support. Assistance in Bengali is available 24/7 via live chat and email.
| Match | Odds | Stake | Status |

| Multi Bet (3 selections) | 4.52 | ৳100 | In Progress |
| Team A vs Team B | 1.80 | ৳500 | Lost |
| Team B (Favourite) | 1.25 | ৳1,000 | Won |
Set your budget and limits before betting
Betting on sm88 is for entertainment — not income. So decide on a fixed budget before you start and stick to it. Only use an amount that, if lost, will not affect your daily life.
Daily Budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend each day. Once you reach that limit, stop betting.
Time Limit
Take breaks rather than betting for long stretches at a time. Tired minds lead to poor decisions.
Loss Limit
Decide in advance how much you are willing to lose before stopping for the day — and stick to it.
Responsible Betting
If betting goes beyond entertainment, you will find support information on the responsible gaming page.
Remember: do not try to recover losses by placing bigger bets after a loss — this is one of the most common mistakes in betting.
