Cricket Formats and Competitions
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it runs deep with passion. The three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and character, and the style of betting differs across each format.
T20 is the fastest format — an entire match completed in just twenty overs. From BPL to IPL and the T20 World Cup, live markets are most active in this format because the situation can shift with every over.
ODI is a fifty-over match where batting and bowling compete over a longer contest. The Tigers' matches are especially popular here. Test matches run over five days — the betting markets are extensive in this format because the pressure of the game shifts with each session.
At cbaji you can bet on matches in BPL, IPL, ICC events and international bilateral series. For those interested in football or other sports, cbaji's sports section has options there too — but on this page we focus mainly on cricket.
Betting on Cricket vs Other Sports
In football a draw is a normal result, so there are three main markets — home win, away win, draw. In cricket (limited overs) there is generally no draw, so the market for each match is split directly between two teams. This makes calculating the odds considerably simpler.
In football, the number of goals works with over/under, and in cricket the same idea applies to total runs. In badminton, kabaddi or tennis the markets are relatively fewer, but in cricket the per-innings and per-over markets make the betting experience far broader.
Popular Betting Markets
A range of markets are available for cricket betting at cbaji. Below are seven popular markets with a general example of each.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: if you bet on Team A in this market, Team A must win by the end of the match.
Toss Winner
The result is known before the match starts. A bet on which team wins the toss — a simple and quick market.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter in a team will score the most runs in an innings. Example: selecting a specific player as the top batter for Team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the runs scored in an innings or across the whole match will go above or below a set line. Example: Over 160 runs — the over wins if the combined runs of both teams exceed 160.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Example: a bet on which of Team A's bowlers will take the highest number of wickets.
Multi Bet / Accumulator
Betting on three or more matches at once — if all selections win the return is much higher. Example: picking three match winners together; if even one loses the entire stake is gone.
Handicap Betting
A handicap is applied to level the contest between teams of different strength — for example, the weaker team is given a head start of a certain number of runs. This keeps the odds closer and makes betting more strategic.
Three Forms of Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
On cbaji and most betting sites around the world, the same odds are displayed in three different formats. They are not separate things — they are three ways of expressing the same probability.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A (৳500)
Decimal 2.25, Fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three represent the same odds. Place a ৳500 bet and if Team A wins, the total return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + original ৳500 stake); if Team A loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Bet on favourite Team B (৳500)
Team B's odds are Decimal 1.80, Fractional 4/5, American -125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Place a ৳500 bet and if Team B wins, the total return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
All three formats carry the same information — choose whichever you are most comfortable with. cbaji normally shows Decimal format as the default.
Live In-Play Betting — placing bets while the match is on
You can place bets even after a match has started — that is live in-play betting. On cbaji, in-play markets stay active during T20 and ODI matches, and the odds update instantly after every wicket or boundary.
For example: if Team A gets off to a strong start in the first innings, the odds for Team B to win may rise. Placing an in-play bet on Team B at that point could offer a better return than before — though the outcome is always uncertain.
Run rates are generally higher during the Powerplay overs, ease off in the middle overs, and pick up again in the death overs — each phase generates its own markets. To place in-play bets, you need an account on cbaji — log in on the cbaji Login page or open a new account.
Keep in mind that in-play betting moves fast — there is little time to decide. Set a limit for yourself on how much you will stake and stick to it. You can read more about this on the responsible gaming guidelines page.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. The tips below will help keep the experience in order.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet each week and do not go beyond that amount. Repeatedly increasing your stakes to recover losses is a dangerous habit.
Focus on one thing
It is more effective to understand one or two markets well than to spread yourself across many. Starting with the T20 match winner keeps things straightforward.
Consider pitch and weather
Pitch conditions and weather play a big role in cricket match results. Reading pre-match information before betting is helpful.
Be careful with multi-bets
Multi-bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk — if just one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost. Build experience with single bets first.
Be patient with live betting
Odds in in-play markets change quickly. It is better to assess the situation calmly before making a decision rather than rushing.
Betting is entertainment — not income
Think of cricket betting as entertainment, not as a regular source of income. If you feel you are losing control, take a break.
