Cricket betting at bajie — the best markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup in one place
From T20 to Test, bet on every cricket format with markets like match winner, toss and top batsman — all in an easy Bengali interface.
Cricket's three formats and the competitions available on bajie
Understanding cricket betting starts with understanding the formats. Each format moves at a different pace, so the type of bet you place differs too.
T20 is the fastest and most unpredictable format. The result can turn at any moment within just 20 overs. BPL and IPL are the two most popular T20 tournaments, and both carry a special passion for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is a 50-over game where a team's planning and consistency matter more. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest — the match can swing from one session to the next. Betting markets here tend to be longer-term.
The T20 World Cup, ICC Championships and Asia Cup also appear on bajie's betting list. Every international match the Tigers play is covered.
How cricket betting differs from football and other sports
Cricket matches run long, which creates more live betting opportunities — every over and every wicket opens a new market. In football, goals, corners and cards are the main attractions within 90 minutes, and a draw is a third possible result that does not exist in limited-overs cricket. Sports like badminton, tennis or esports have shorter, more compact markets. At bajie, you can bet on all these sports alongside cricket through bajie Bet.
Popular cricket betting markets
bajie offers a range of different markets for cricket. Match winner is a good starting point for beginners; experienced bettors often use several markets at the same time.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. For example, if you bet on Team B to win a T20 match against Team A and Team B wins, your stake is returned along with your profit.
Simple All formatsToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This has nothing to do with the match result — it is simply like calling a coin flip. You pick Team A or Team B.
Quick result T20, ODITop Batsman
Bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs. You predict whether a specific batter from Team A will be their top scorer in the match.
Team-based All formatsTotal Runs Over/Under
Set against a fixed target — for example, whether the total runs in the match will be over or under 320. The pace of wickets and pitch conditions play a big role here.
Statistical ODI, TestMulti Bet
Combine multiple predictions from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds of each are multiplied together for a larger return — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
High return All sportsInnings Runs Market
Bet on how many runs a team will score in a specific innings — separate markets are also available for powerplay or death-over runs. In Test cricket, betting on the first innings run range is also popular.
Specialist Test, ODIDecimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds explained simply
New bettors are often confused when they see odds — the same price appears in three different formats. All three say the same thing; only the way they are written differs.
Most people in Bangladesh use decimal odds because they are straightforward — simply multiply your stake by the decimal number to get your total return.
On any betting market at bajie you can view odds in all three formats, so use whichever you are most comfortable with.
Fractional odds come from the British tradition — 2/1 means you earn ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. American odds are written with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign and are most commonly seen on American sites.
Example 1 — Team A wins, the same price in all three formats
| Format | Odds | Total return on a ৳1,000 bet | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3,000 | ৳2,000 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳3,000 | ৳2,000 |
| American | +200 | ৳3,000 | ৳2,000 |
In all three formats, if Team A wins you receive a total of ৳3,000 — ৳2,000 profit plus your ৳1,000 stake. If Team A loses, your ৳1,000 stake is gone. These numbers are for illustration only — they are not the odds for any specific match.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, decimal 1.50
With Team B as the favourite, the decimal odds are 1.50, fractional is 1/2, and American is -200. A minus sign in American odds shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — here you stake ৳200 to profit ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, total return is ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
How returns are calculated on a multi bet
Say you pick three selections from three different matches — decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 respectively. In a multi bet, these three odds are multiplied together:
1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately)
If all selections win on a ৳100 bet, total return is ৳459. But if even one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
That is the appeal of the multi bet — a small stake can bring a large return. But the risk is higher if you are not confident in every selection. Always bet for entertainment and keep to your limits.
Live In-Play Betting — a new opportunity every over
In-play or live betting means you can place bets after the match has started. In cricket this is especially useful, because the situation on the field can shift quickly.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds weaken immediately and the bowling team's odds strengthen. A fast-scoring powerplay shifts the over/under market price. In the final overs, new markets can open based on the required run rate.
Live betting demands quick decisions — odds may last only a few seconds. You need focus and a clear plan going in. Keep betting enjoyable and within your means. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
In-play betting in Test matches moves more slowly — a session's performance shapes the odds for the next session. In T20, every ball brings a new equation.
Good habits for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. A few simple habits help keep the experience positive.
Set your budget in advance
Decide on a fixed limit for each session. Once you reach that limit, take a break — you can still enjoy watching the match without placing a bet.
Choose your market based on the format
In T20, match winner is simple and settles quickly. In ODI, the over/under runs market works well because pitch conditions become clearer as the game progresses. In Test cricket, focus on longer-term markets.
Understand the odds before you bet
High odds mean a bigger potential return but a lower probability. Low odds mean a favourite — smaller return but higher probability. Only place a multi bet if you are confident about every selection.
Focus on one market at a time
Rather than spreading across many markets at once, build familiarity with one or two. Starting with match winner or toss is the easiest entry point.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds move fast during in-play, so rather than placing large bets on impulse, decide in advance which market you will bet on and under what circumstances.
