bajimat Cricket Betting — Best Odds for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Make every moment of cricket count. At bajimat, join multiple markets across T20, ODI and Test matches — before the game starts or while it is in play.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the biggest draw in betting is the variety the game offers. In T20 cricket, every ball can change the course of the match — with results decided in just twenty overs, odds move at every moment. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the biggest events in this format, where a mix of local and overseas players keeps every match unpredictable.
In ODI cricket, reading mid-match momentum becomes even more important over fifty overs. Participation in ODI markets grows noticeably during the Bangladesh Tigers' international series or ICC tournaments.
Test matches require five days of patience and tactical analysis. Since a draw is a valid result, there are three outcome markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw — which is quite different from T20 or ODI.
bajimat keeps multiple markets open for the T20 World Cup and international series. Football betting is also available, though its live market is not as detailed as cricket's over-by-over offering — football mainly has match result, goalscorer and handicap markets. Other sports such as kabaddi or tennis have fewer markets and are more dependent on the season.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
The markets below are the most used in the bajimat cricket section. Read through the examples and find what suits you.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win. In T20 and ODI, only two outcomes are possible (Team A or Team B). In Test cricket, draw is the third option. Example: if Team A's odds are 1.80, a winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely independent — pitch conditions or team strength have no bearing on it. Odds are generally close to equal for both teams.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team. Separate odds are given for each team's batters. The wicket-fall order and batting position influence this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether runs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: whether Team A will score more than 75 runs in the first 10 overs. Ground conditions and pitch nature are important factors here.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets. In T20, powerplay and death-over specialists often lead. In live betting, odds shift quickly after each wicket.
Multi Bet (Multiple Matches Combined)
Combining multiple selections into one bet multiplies all odds together, increasing the potential return. Example: betting on three matches at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 gives combined odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17; a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 if all selections win. However, if any one selection loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Handicap and Run-Rate Markets
To level the gap between two teams, the stronger team is given a run deficit to start with. Example: if Team A is given −15 runs, they must win by at least 16 runs for this bet to win. The result is generally stated in terms of runs — no specific run-rate is mentioned.
How to Read Odds — Understanding Three Formats
Three odds formats appear on cricket betting platforms — Decimal, Fractional and American. They are easy to read once you are familiar with each.
Example 1 (same odds in three formats): Team A's winning price is Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,500 if it wins (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). The full ৳1,000 is lost if it loses.
Example 2 (favourite's odds): Team B is the favourite — Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Decimal format is the most straightforward — multiply directly to get the total return. Fractional is a British tradition, and American format is more common on US sites. bajimat generally shows Decimal as the default.
Comparison of the Three Formats
| Format | How It Is Written | How to Calculate the Return | Where It Is Most Common |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Odds × Stake = Total Return | Asia, Europe |
| Fractional | 3/2 | (Numerator/Denominator) × Stake = Profit | United Kingdom, Ireland |
| American | +150 or −125 | + = profit on ৳100 stake; − = stake needed to make ৳100 profit | United States |
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, every wicket, every boundary or maiden over shifts the odds. For example: if Team A loses three quick wickets in the powerplay, their odds of winning shorten, and Team B's odds rise.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting:
- Odds update very quickly — a short delay can mean the price has already changed.
- When a match is close (for example, both teams near the same score in the final over), odds for both sides become nearly equal.
- If play is interrupted due to rain or bad light, many markets may be temporarily suspended.
- Watching a live broadcast while placing bets makes it easier to assess the situation.
Betting is for entertainment — staying within a set amount is part of responsible play. Read bajimat's guidelines on responsible gaming.
Cricket Betting — Some Useful Tips
Understand One Market Well
Start by gaining experience in simpler markets like match winner or total runs. Focusing on one market is better than taking on several complex ones at the same time.
Stick to a Budget
Set a limit for yourself before each session. Betting is a form of entertainment, so it is best not to go beyond the amount you have decided on in advance.
Follow the Live Score
Following a live score or broadcast during in-play betting helps you understand what is happening. It is better not to make rushed decisions just because the odds are moving.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but one losing selection wipes out everything. Think carefully before combining more than three or four selections.
Choose Markets That Suit the Format
Total runs in T20, the draw option in Test — each format has its own characteristics. Choose your markets accordingly.
Know the Rules and Terms
Read through the rules before betting. Having a clear understanding of bonus wagering requirements or the rules of a specific market saves problems later. Full details are on the Terms and Conditions page.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at bajimat. Football mainly offers match result (1X2), both teams to score, corner count and goalscorer markets. While there are no over-by-over live updates as in cricket, odds shifting after half-time is normal.
Sports like tennis, kabaddi and volleyball have fewer markets and are more season-dependent. However, live markets for these sports are also open during major tournaments.
