big baji Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
Follow Bangladesh's most popular sport more closely in big baji's cricket betting section. Place bets across different formats and multiple markets, and enjoy live in-play odds.
Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments at big baji
Cricket is a sport that is not just played on the field in Bangladesh — it is talked about in every home. big baji's sports section offers betting on all three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own character, so the betting markets work differently too.
T20: The fastest format. More runs in fewer overs, with a higher chance of wickets falling — so odds shift quickly and live betting is most popular here.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, both rhythm and tactics matter. You can bet on different markets from the toss right through to the final over.
Test: In this five-day format, there are markets not just for the match winner but also for innings runs, draws and team performance.
Among popular tournaments, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is closest to Bangladeshi bettors. Traffic increases significantly during IPL. Betting markets are also open for the T20 World Cup, ICC events and bilateral series.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
Football Betting
Football offers a wide range of markets including match winner, correct score, goalscorer and half-time result. Like cricket, live betting is available here too, though cricket has over-by-over markets that football does not. Bangladeshi users bet on football most during European leagues and the World Cup.
Sports BettingOther Sports
Markets for kabaddi, badminton, tennis and basketball are also available in big baji's sports section. These sports have their own pace — unlike cricket, there are no wickets or overs, so the way odds move is different too. Experience with cricket makes it easier to understand markets in other sports.

Popular Betting Markets at big baji
Cricket betting is not limited to the match winner — the markets below are the most common among Bangladeshi bettors.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so only two options. Example: in Team A vs Team B, you choose Team B.
Most PopularToss Betting
Who will win the toss at the start of the match — this market is short and is settled before the match begins. The toss can sometimes be significant depending on the pitch and weather conditions.
Pre-MatchTop Batter
Which player will score the most runs for their team — this is an individual performance market. Example: choosing a specific batter from Team A.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in the match or an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. This market can be assessed by considering the pitch, weather and team averages.
Innings MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Choosing multiple matches or markets at once and multiplying all odds together to create a combined bet. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — but if all are correct, the return is much higher.
High ReturnMethod of First Wicket
How the first wicket in the match will fall — caught, bowled, LBW or run out. This is a special prop market mainly used in T20.
Prop MarketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
At big baji and most sports betting sites, the same odds are shown in three different formats. Once you understand them, reading any market becomes straightforward.
| Format | Example (Team A to win) | What does it mean? |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return on the bet (stake + profit) — ৳1,500 back on a ৳500 bet |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked (plus the original stake returned) |
| American | +200 | Positive means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Betting on a team to win
Team A to win, stake ৳500. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If Team A wins, you get ৳1,500 back (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on the favourite
Team B's odds to win: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American figure means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 bet, a win returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Live Betting — Odds Change While the Match is On
Live in-play is the most engaging way to bet on cricket. At big baji, you can place bets after the match has started, and the odds change with every over, every wicket and every boundary.
If a strong team's key batter is dismissed, that team's odds to win go up (because they are now weaker). This means a higher potential return if you bet on them, but the risk also increases.
If a team is 60 runs behind with five overs left, their odds to win will increase further. But if a power hitter comes in to bat, the odds may come back down.
Quick decisions are needed in live betting. Live updates are available faster on the big baji App, making in-play betting more convenient.
How to Stay Aware in Cricket Betting
- Understand the format: T20 and Test markets are not the same. A draw is a real result in Test cricket but not in T20. Before placing a bet, confirm which format is being played.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Starting with fewer selections is the sensible approach.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will bet before each match and stick to it. Going beyond your budget in the excitement of the game is not a good idea.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, but make every decision with a clear head. Placing a large bet on impulse is best avoided.
- Treat betting as entertainment: Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Winning and losing are both normal outcomes. To learn more about responsible betting, visit the Responsible Gaming page.
- Know the rules: Read through big baji's Terms and Conditions to understand the betting rules.
Multi Bet Example
You made selections in three separate matches. The odds are Decimal 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90. Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximate).
On a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct you get ৳426 back. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This is a numerical example only — it is not a promise of live odds or any specific match outcome.

Betting Exchange — BACK and LAY
On a betting exchange, you can bet not only on a team to win but also on them to lose.
Example (Decimal 2.50): BACK Team A — on a ৳1,000 stake, if Team A wins you make ৳1,500 profit (before commission); if they do not win, ৳1,000 is lost.
LAY Team A (against a ৳1,000 backer's stake) — your liability is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 × 1.50). If Team A does not win, you make ৳1,000 profit (before commission); if they win, you pay ৳1,500.
