r baje Cricket — Complete Betting Guide for BPL, IPL and International Matches
r baje brings cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet across all formats, from T20 to Test. From match winner to top batsman — understand the markets, read the odds, make your call.
The three cricket formats and Bangladesh's favourite competitions
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a different style of betting. T20 matches last only a few hours, so odds shift quickly and in-play betting is most popular. ODIs, being medium-length, produce a variety of markets across the full innings. In Test cricket, a draw is a valid result, which gives the market structure a different shape.
BPL holds the most emotional connection for Bangladeshi fans, with fresh excitement around the tournament every season. IPL is Indian but Bangladeshi cricket fans follow it closely too. The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments get special attention because of the Bangladesh Tigers' performances.
r baje allows betting across various markets for matches in these competitions. Each match offers multiple options — not just win or lose, but more detailed markets to get involved in.
Learn about the popular cricket betting markets
Understanding how each market works is the first step to enjoying betting. Below is a brief description of seven familiar markets.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B, you pick Team A, and if Team A wins, your bet wins.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. In T20 matches the toss can matter a lot, making this a well-known market.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs for a team in the match. The batting lineup and pitch type both influence this market.
Performance BetTotal Runs Over/Under
Predict whether a team's total runs in a given number of overs or the full innings will be above or below a set number. Example: will runs in the first 10 overs be more than 65.
Runs-BasedMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into one bet. You only receive the full return if all selections are correct — one wrong selection and the entire bet loses. See the detailed odds example in the odds section below.
Multi BetTop Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch behaviour and the batting team's weaknesses play an important role in this market.
Bowling PerformanceHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a team to level the market. For example, the stronger team may be treated as though they start with some runs already deducted — the handicap is factored in when settling the result. This makes markets on the weaker team competitive too, and creates a chance to win a bet even if that team does not win outright.
Innings Breakdown Markets
Smaller markets based on individual overs or specific innings blocks — for example, how many wickets will fall in the first powerplay, or how many runs will be scored in a specific over. These markets are used more during in-play betting.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — the same calculation in three formats
Odds are written in three familiar formats. All three express the same probability, just presented differently. On r baje you can view odds in whichever format you prefer.
Example 1 — Same odds in three formats (Team A to win, bet ৳200)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125 — all three are the same. If Team A wins, the return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds (Team B to win, bet ৳200)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds mean that amount staked returns 100 in profit. A ৳200 bet returns ৳250 (৳50 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest — just multiply it by the stake to get the total return. Fractional is common in British markets, and American format is seen on US platforms.
Multi Bet Calculation — Three Selections
Make selections in three separate matches: decimal odds 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90. Combined odds = 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳581 — but all three selections must win. If any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
| Format | Shows | Return Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Stake × 2.25 = Total Return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Profit = Stake × (5 ÷ 4) |
| American (+) | +125 | ৳100 stake wins ৳125 profit |
| American (−) | −400 | ৳400 stake wins ৳100 profit |
Odds change when a wicket falls — how live betting works
Betting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket, the situation changes after every ball — when a wicket falls the batting team's odds lengthen, and when a big six is hit they shorten.
Say Team A is 100/3 after 15 overs in a T20 match. Team A's win odds will be at a certain level at that point, and if two quick wickets fall in the 16th over the odds will shift again. In live betting you can watch these changes and make your decisions accordingly.
In ODIs, live odds fluctuate more after the powerplay ends, and in Test matches during the final session of the day. On r baje, live markets update with the pace of the match, so there is an opportunity to bet on different markets at every moment.
- Fast odds: Odds update with every wicket or boundary.
- Multiple markets: Bet not just on win or loss, but also on runs or wickets in the next over.
- Easy on mobile: Live betting is straightforward on the r baje App.
The differences in betting between football and other sports
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available on r baje. Bangladeshi cricket fans often follow international football as well, so understanding the difference between the two is useful.
In T20 cricket there is no draw — there are only two results (win or loss, or a Super Over if tied). In football three results are possible: home win, draw or away win. This is why football has a "1X2" market and the odds structure is different. In Test cricket a draw is also possible, so there are three results there too.
Goal-based markets in football (such as over/under 2.5 goals) are very popular and work in the same way as cricket's runs over/under market. The football equivalent of cricket's top batsman market is the first goalscorer market. The underlying principle is the same — only the market names and numbers change depending on the sport.
Those who want to enjoy not just sports betting but casino games too can play live Baccarat, Roulette and other table games at r baje Casino. The fast-paced crash game r baje Aviator also offers a different kind of experience.
Cricket vs Football Betting — Key Differences
- Cricket: 2 results in T20/ODI, 3 in Test; more innings-based markets.
- Football: Always 3 results (1X2); goal-based markets are the main focus.
- Match length: T20 is 3–4 hours, football 90 minutes; Test up to 5 days.
- Live betting: Active in both sports, but in cricket odds change with every ball.
- Statistics: Cricket has more individual statistics-based markets than football.
Some practical tips for enjoying cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. Following the advice below makes the betting experience better.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much money you will put into betting each week or month, and do not go beyond that.
- Understand the market before you bet: Only move on to handicap or multi bets once you are comfortable with the match winner market.
- Do not put everything on one bet: Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
- Take a break: If you are on a losing streak, it is better to step away. Decisions made out of frustration generally do not end well.
- Play responsibly: r baje has responsible gaming tools and guidelines — use them.
- Know the rules: Read the terms and conditions before you start betting so there is no confusion.
