baji house Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
Bet on the cricket formats most popular in Bangladesh — match winner, toss, top run scorer, live in-play and many more markets. Everything from understanding odds to betting strategies is covered here.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Which one to bet on?
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. To go along with that passion, baji house offers betting across three major formats: T20, One-Day International (ODI) and Test.
T20 is fast, explosive, and the situation can change with every ball. That makes it the best format for live betting. The BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) brings excitement across the country each season — from the Dhaka franchises to every fan-favourite local team, bettor interest peaks with every match.
IPL and the T20 World Cup are equally popular among Bangladeshi bettors on the international stage. ODI cricket offers mid-innings markets, where new odds are set after the first innings. Test matches run over five days, giving the market more variety — you can bet on innings totals, draw or win, and even which team leads after the first innings.
The betting structure for football and other sports is somewhat different. In football a draw is a valid result, so markets are built around three outcomes — home win, away win or draw. In cricket, outside of Test matches, there is generally no draw market. For kabaddi, badminton or other sports, the number of markets is smaller and odds work differently.
The most popular betting markets in cricket
baji house offers multiple markets for cricket betting. New bettors are better off starting with simpler markets; experienced bettors can take on several markets at once.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, you pick Team B; if Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Because the toss is a completely separate event, odds on this market are usually close to even.
Top Run Scorer
Which batter in a team will score the most runs in the match. Example: you pick the batter from Team A who you think will score the most runs.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in the match will be over or under a set number — the match result does not matter for this bet.
Multi Bet
Add multiple selections to a single bet. Example: you pick three teams across three separate matches — your bet only wins if all three come through, but the total return is much higher.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Fast bowler or spinner — enter this market based on your own analysis.
How odds work — explained in three formats
Understanding odds before you start betting is important. Odds are written in three formats around the world — decimal, fractional and American. baji house generally uses the decimal format, but knowing the others is also useful.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 (bet on Team A to win): Place a ৳1,000 bet and if Team A wins you receive ৳2,250 — that is ৳1,250 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back. If Team A loses you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 (bet on favourite Team B): Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — decimal 1.80. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit). In American format, -125 means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100 profit.
Decimal odds are the simplest: stake multiplied by odds equals total return. In fractional odds, the numerator is profit and the denominator is stake. American minus odds are for favourites; plus odds are for underdogs.

Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
Once a match starts, odds do not stay fixed. They are recalculated after every wicket, every boundary and every over. That is what makes live betting interesting.
After the powerplay
If Team A scores quickly through the 6-over powerplay, their odds of winning shorten — meaning they become the favourite.
When a key wicket falls
If Team B's best batter is dismissed, their chances of chasing the target drop, and Team A's odds fall immediately.
In the final five overs
As the required run rate rises, Team B's odds of winning lengthen — this moment opens up new betting opportunities.
Tie or Super Over
If the match ends in a tie, a separate market for the Super Over may open — at that point the odds are usually level.
Live betting moves fast, so decisions need to be made quickly. You can use the baji house App, available on Android and iOS, to bet easily from your mobile.
Multi bet and cricket odds — a practical example
A multi bet means adding multiple selections to the same bet slip. If three separate matches have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
That is why multi bets carry higher risk. You can place a multi bet with a small stake for entertainment, but remember that betting is purely a form of entertainment — set a limit and stick to it rather than treating it as a source of income.

A limited-overs cricket match does not end in a draw, so the market has two outcomes. Example: Team A at 1.80, Team B at 2.00 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit); if Team A wins you lose ৳500.
Multi bet calculation
- Selection 1: decimal odds 1.50
- Selection 2: decimal odds 1.70
- Selection 3: decimal odds 1.90
- Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 ≈ 4.84
- ৳100 bet → ৳484 return if all win
Some practical advice before you start betting
The tips below are useful for both new and regular bettors:
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will spend on betting each week or month, and stick to that limit.
- Start with one market: New bettors should focus on the match winner market first — it is the simplest and easiest to understand.
- Choose markets to match the format: Total runs markets work well in T20; innings result or draw markets add more variety in Test cricket.
- Be patient with live bets: It is better to place a live bet once the match situation has settled — odds change after every ball.
- Keep stakes small on multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. Try them with small amounts for entertainment.
- Know the rules: Read the site's terms and conditions before betting — being clear on bonus and withdrawal conditions makes for a better experience.
