bajibet Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport, and bajibet offers the chance to bet on every format of the game. From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC tournaments — this page covers popular markets, how to understand odds, and live betting.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Before getting into betting markets, it helps to understand the three main cricket formats and how they differ — because the type of bet available varies by format.
T20
Each team plays just 20 overs, so matches end quickly. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the biggest tournaments in this format. Since the situation can change on any ball, live betting is particularly engaging here.
Fastest FormatODI
Each team plays 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. With longer matches, the betting patterns for Top Batsman, Total Runs and Partnership markets differ.
50-Over ContestTest Cricket
Five days of play, two innings each. A draw is possible here. In the Test Match Winner market there are three possible outcomes — which sets it apart from T20 and ODI, and that difference also affects how odds are set.
The Highest Form of CricketBPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the country's biggest franchise cricket tournament. Every season, fans rally behind their home team, and that energy shows in the betting markets too.
Domestic TournamentIPL
India's Indian Premier League is also very popular with Bangladeshi fans. With the world's best players taking part, the markets tend to be more varied.
International FranchiseInternational Cricket
All international tournaments — including the Asia Cup, ICC World Cup and Test series — are covered on bajibet. When the Bangladesh Tigers play, participation from Bangladeshi users in the betting markets increases noticeably.
Global Stage
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular on bajibet. Markets are available for English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Asian Cup matches. Cricket typically has two outcomes (win or loss in T20/ODI), but football has three possible results — home win, away win or draw. This difference has a clear effect on how odds are structured.
Beyond cricket and football, tennis, badminton and esports markets are also available on bajibet. Each sport has its own market structure — football does not have over-by-over markets like cricket does; instead, goal totals and handicap markets are more common in football.
Treat betting as entertainment and set your own limits. Following the responsible gaming guidelines helps keep the experience positive.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
bajibet offers several types of cricket betting markets. Below is a brief description of seven common markets.
Match Winner
You pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two options — Team A or Team B. In Test cricket, a draw is also possible, so there are three options.
Toss Winner
Betting closes before the match starts. You pick which team will win the toss. Since there are two equally likely outcomes, the odds are generally close.
Top Batsman
You bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. This market can shift quickly if wickets fall early in an innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs scored will be over or under a preset number. Pitch conditions and weather influence this market.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets increases the combined odds. You win only if every selection is correct — one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
First Wicket Over
You select in which over the first wicket will fall. The bet is settled as soon as the opening wicket drops, making it especially common in T20.
Handicap Betting
The odds are adjusted by giving the weaker team a head start. For example, if Team A is given a 20-run handicap, they must overcome that margin to win the bet.
A Simple Guide to Understanding Odds Formats
On bajibet, odds are displayed in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.
Example 1 — Team A to win (৳500 bet): Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win (৳500 bet): Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet, total return is ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Decimal odds are the easiest to read because they show directly how much you get back per ৳1 staked. bajibet uses Decimal format by default.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | How to Calculate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 | Stake × Odds = Total Return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 | Numerator/Denominator × Stake = Profit |
| American | +150 | -400 | + means profit on a ৳100 stake; − means stake needed to profit ৳100 |
* The odds above are examples only — they are not the odds for any real match and are not a promise of future winnings.
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match is On
Live betting is one of the most engaging parts of cricket. Even after a match starts, odds update after every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen; when a six or four is hit, they shorten — this constant movement is what sets live betting apart.
Odds naturally shift between overs or when the powerplay ends. For example, in T20, if a big wicket falls in the last five overs, the 'Total Runs Under' market odds can move sharply. Keeping these shifts in mind when planning is the key to live betting.
Keep in mind that live betting requires fast decisions, which can make it easy to place larger bets on impulse. Set a limit for yourself before you start.
Practical Things to Know Before Betting
To enjoy betting as entertainment, a few general points are worth keeping in mind. These are not strategies for winning — they are habits for betting in a controlled way.
Set a Budget First
Before each session, decide how much you can afford to spend. Do not bet money you cannot afford to lose.
Learn One Market Well
Rather than entering all markets at once, start by focusing on Match Winner or Total Runs. Once you are comfortable, you can move to other markets.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher odds, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Adding more legs increases the risk significantly.
Stay Calm in Live Betting
Odds move fast in live betting. Make decisions based on your plan, not on impulse. One wicket does not change the entire picture.
Understand the Format Before Betting
T20 and Test cricket move at completely different speeds. The same type of market works differently across the two formats.
Treat It as Entertainment
It is better not to expect regular income from betting. It is a form of entertainment — stay within safe limits.
