baji 88 Cricket Betting — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Follow every match more closely. baji 88 brings all cricket formats, all tournaments and live in-play betting together on one platform.
Cricket's three formats and tournaments popular with Bangladeshis
T20 — The Fastest Format
Just 20 overs, results come quickly. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The situation changes with every ball, making this the most active format for live betting.
BPL IPL T20 WCODI — The 50-Over Contest
One-day cricket calls for both strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the ICC World Cup and bilateral series bring extra interest to ODI betting. The wider run range makes over/under markets especially popular here.
ICC WC BilateralTest — The True Test of Cricket
Betting on five-day Test matches is a completely different experience. A draw is a valid result, so there are three options to bet on. Pitch conditions and weather play a big role here. Innings-based and session-based markets are also available in Tests.
WTC Test Series
baji 88 for cricket fans in Bangladesh
During the BPL season, cricket excitement spreads across Bangladesh. baji 88 adds to that by offering multiple betting markets for every match — both before and during play. Markets are equally active for IPL and international series.
If you are also interested in casino games alongside cricket, take a look at the baji 88 Casino live casino section — it has games from all the top studios including Evolution.
Football and other sports betting
After cricket, football is the most watched sport in Bangladesh. Betting markets for European leagues and international tournaments are generally more varied than cricket — because a draw is possible in football, you can bet on three outcomes.
Cricket typically has two outcomes (no draws in T20 or ODI), which keeps the odds more straightforward. Football also has goal line, Asian handicap and corner/card markets — none of which exist in cricket.
Betting on sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi is relatively simpler — usually limited to match winner and set markets. If you are interested in slot games outside of sports, you will find all the popular titles from PG Soft and Pragmatic Play in the baji 88 slots section.
Popular betting markets in cricket
Understanding how each market works makes betting more straightforward. Below are seven common markets explained in plain language.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest bet. In T20 and ODI there are only two options since draws do not happen.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss. This has no connection to the match result — it is an independent 50/50 bet.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. You pick one player from multiple options.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. It does not matter whether the team plays well or poorly — only the run total counts.
Multi Bet
Adding three or more bets on the same slip creates a multi bet. If all bets win, the return is larger, but if any single one loses, the entire slip loses.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. You choose between pace and spin bowlers — the nature of the pitch matters here.
Betting Exchange
Unlike a traditional bookmaker, on an exchange two bettors bet against each other. You can take either the BACK position (for) or the LAY position (against).
How to read odds
Betting odds are shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same thing, just written differently.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 if it wins (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 — means the same thing |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet — plus sign means underdog |
If Team A wins, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,500 in total; if not, ৳500 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite odds
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳900 if it wins (৳400 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 bet |
| American | -125 | Minus sign means favourite — ৳125 bet needed to make ৳100 profit |
Team B is the favourite. A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if it wins; if not, ৳500 is lost.
Calculating a multi bet
Three bets — decimal 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — combined give combined odds of 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳408 if all win. However, if any one bet loses, the entire ৳100 is gone. A multi bet offers the chance of a larger return, but the risk is also higher.
Handicap and Over/Under
In handicap betting, the weaker team is given an artificial head start. For example, a -1.5 run handicap on Team A means Team A must win by 2 or more runs for the bet to win. With over/under, you bet only on the run total without backing either team.
Live in-play betting — odds change with every ball
Placing bets in real time while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly useful because a wicket or a big-scoring spell can shift the odds almost instantly.
For example, if no wickets fall and a lot of runs come in the first 10 overs, the batting team's odds of winning will shorten and the bowling team's will lengthen. Three wickets in the powerplay produces the opposite.
baji 88 live betting offers ball-by-ball updates and fast market refresh. You can follow the live score and place in-play bets at the same time on the baji 88 App.
Some simple tips before you start betting
These are general tips for keeping betting enjoyable and disciplined — not a guarantee of profit.
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Set a limit for yourself before each session and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a source of income.
Focus on one market
Betting across too many markets at once becomes complicated. It helps to get comfortable with simpler markets like match winner or over/under first.
Understand the format before betting
T20 and Test cricket have completely different characters. Experience in one may not directly apply to the other.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds move quickly in in-play markets. Try to read the situation rather than making quick decisions driven by emotion.

Betting Exchange — A simple guide to BACK and LAY
With a regular bookmaker you can only BACK a team — meaning bet in their favour. On an exchange you can also LAY — meaning you take another bettor's bet, acting as the bookmaker.
Example — Team A at decimal 1.80
BACK: ৳500 bet — ৳400 profit if Team A wins (before commission), ৳500 lost if they do not.
LAY: Taking ৳500 from a bettor against Team A — ৳500 profit if Team A does not win, ৳400 liability if Team A wins (৳500 × 0.80).
Commission applies on winnings in both cases. For detailed questions about exchange betting, see the FAQ page.
