Cricket Betting at tbajee — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test cricket, from toss to top batsman — at tbajee you can bet on every moment of every match. Learn how cricket betting markets, odds, and live betting work, explained in plain language.
T20, ODI and Test — differences in betting across three formats
T20 is the most popular format among cricket fans in Bangladesh. Fast results, high scores, and tension right through to the final over — that is why T20 betting is most active at tbajee. BPL and IPL are the two tournaments that attract the most interest from Bangladeshi bettors.
ODI matches run to 50 overs, which means the betting markets are broader. You can place bets on anything from a pace bowler's opening spell to the run rate in the final ten overs. Betting activity on ODI formats rises noticeably during the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments.
Test cricket is a five-day game — and the betting is different as a result. A draw is a possible outcome, so there are three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch conditions, weather, and the pace of each innings all influence the odds.
Alongside cricket, tbajee also offers football betting. Football matches last 90 minutes and tend to be low-scoring, so the odds structure differs from cricket — in low-scoring games a draw is more likely, making the draw market far more important in football.
tbajee's popular markets and how they work
Cricket betting is not just about picking a winner — each match has dozens of different markets. Below are the seven most familiar markets with simple examples.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team wins. In T20 or ODI there are two options (Team A or Team B); in Test cricket there are three (Team A, Team B, or a draw).
Most PopularToss Betting
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is known within seconds, which makes it popular for quick bets.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Pick the player who will score the most runs for a given team. If the player you chose ends up as the highest scorer in the innings, you win the bet.
Skill-Based BetTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number — for example, whether the first innings total will be over 160.
Score-BasedTop Bowler
Bet on which bowler from a team will take the most wickets. Pace or spin — pitch conditions and weather play a big role here.
Bowling FocusMulti Bet
Combine the results of multiple matches into a single bet — you win only if every selection is correct. The odds multiply, which can produce a large return, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Big ReturnsMulti Bet Example
Three selections across three matches — odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.70 respectively. Multiplied together: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳408 if all three are correct. But if any single selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. Multi bets can return more, but the risk is also higher — they are a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — a simple explanation of all three formats
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three different ways. tbajee generally uses the decimal format, but it is useful to understand all three.
| Format | Team A Odds | Result (on a ৳1,000 bet) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Win returns ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Same result — ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | A positive number means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (Underdog): Team A wins — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 if correct (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); you lose ৳1,000 if wrong.
Example 2 (Favourite): Team B wins — decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 (a negative number means you stake that amount to make ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if correct (৳800 profit).
The favourite's odds are generally lower because they are considered more likely to win. The underdog's odds are higher — you win more if they come through, but it is less likely to happen.
Live betting while the match is on — odds shift with wickets and overs
Live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. At tbajee, in-play market odds update ball by ball and over by over. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise; when a big six is hit, they drop.
Say Team B makes a strong start in the first 10 overs — their match-winning odds will shorten, meaning they become the favourite. Betting on these shifting odds is the main appeal of live betting.
The run rate at the end of the powerplay, a spinner's dominance in the middle overs, a pinch-hitter's impact in the death overs — odds move fast at all these moments. Live markets also include short-term options such as match winner, runs in the next over, and whether the next wicket will fall.
Live betting moves quickly — decisions need to be made fast. It is a form of entertainment, so it is important to always stay within a set budget. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is important for all bettors.
Useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed way to make money. Keeping the following in mind will make the experience better.
Bet on the format you understand
T20, ODI, and Test each have different rules and markets. Focus on the format you know best — it is better not to start betting on all formats at once.
Set a budget before you start
Decide how much you are going to bet before each session. When you reach that limit, take a break. Placing large bets to quickly recover losses generally does not end well.
Build knowledge in one market
Start by focusing on simpler markets like match winner or total runs. Betting across all markets at once makes it hard to keep track.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can return more, but one wrong selection means losing the whole bet. You can do multi bets in small amounts for entertainment, but think carefully before staking large amounts.
Take your time with live betting
In-play betting moves fast — do not rush into large bets. Understand why the odds are changing before you make a decision.

Betting on football and other sports — how it differs from cricket
tbajee offers football betting alongside cricket. The key difference in football is that a draw is a common outcome — so markets typically have three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. In T20 cricket there are no draws, so only two options are available.
Football is low-scoring, so its markets work differently. The over/under 2.5 goals market lets you bet on whether the total goals in a match will be above or below 2.5. In cricket, run-based markets of this kind are far more varied.
The odds format is the same for both football and cricket — decimal, fractional, or American. However, because football is lower-scoring, odds shift more sharply after each goal. You can see all sports betting options in detail on the tbajee Bet page.
Betting is also available on other sports such as tennis, badminton, and kabaddi — although cricket betting remains the most popular in Bangladesh. The tbajee App lets you bet on all sports markets directly from your mobile.
