Rakib Hossain is 32 years old and runs a small grocery shop in Bogura. He had always dreamed of growing his business, but lack of capital kept holding him back. It was a friend who first told him about 111 bed, toward the end of 2023.
He started with great caution, making his first deposit of just ৳500. Cricket had been a passion since childhood — staying up late to watch IPL matches was a long-standing habit. So Cricket Betting wasn't entirely new territory for him, at least when it came to reading and analyzing the game.
What Was the Strategy?
"I never put big money on a single match," Rakib said. "I always kept my bets small, but I made sure of them first — checking the toss, the pitch report, the team's form before deciding." During IPL 2026, he placed bets on 17 matches in total, winning 11 of them — a success rate of roughly 65%.
"The odds on 111 bed were great for every match. And I never worried about payments—whenever I won, the money came straight to bKash." — Rakib Hossain, Bogura
What Was the Outcome?
Over the entire IPL season, Rakib's total investment was ৳18,000—and his winnings came to ৳85,000, a net profit of ৳67,000. He used that money to buy a new refrigerator for his shop and restock his inventory. "Seeing the shop grow little by little—that's what really makes me happy," Rakib said.
