rajabaji apps Cricket Betting — Complete Guide from BPL to T20 World Cup
How to bet on every cricket format, which markets to choose, and how to read odds — all in one place for Bangladesh's most popular sport.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Major Tournaments
Cricket betting covers three distinct formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each has a different pace, level of risk and variety of markets, so understanding the format before placing a bet is important.
T20 is the fastest format. Results change quickly in 20 overs, so odds fluctuate more. BPL and IPL are the biggest T20 competitions and the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. During the T20 World Cup, the number of markets on rajabaji apps increases noticeably.
ODI is a fifty-over match — it offers far more opportunities to bet on team scores and run rates. Test is the longest and most strategic format; in a five-day match a draw is also a possible result, so you can bet on three outcomes.
Football betting is somewhat different from cricket — a fixed 90-minute duration and fewer goals give the markets a different shape. Statistically, underdogs win more often in football, making the odds more attractive. Markets for kabaddi and other sports are limited but grow during major tournaments.
Popular Betting Markets
rajabaji apps offers bets across various cricket markets. Below are the most commonly used markets and how each one works.
Match Winner
Picking which team wins the match is the simplest market. ODI and T20 have two outcomes; Test has three (team A wins, team B wins, draw). Example: if team A's odds are 1.65, a winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,650.
Most PopularToss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. Since the outcome is essentially 50-50, odds for both sides are usually close. This is a short-term market.
Quick DecisionTop Batsman
A bet on which batter scores the most runs in the match. A top-order batter usually has shorter odds; a lower-order batter has longer odds. Example: the bet wins if team A's number three batter ends up as the top scorer.
Player-BasedTotal Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a number — say 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs in the match will be over or under that number. Pitch conditions and weather both affect this market.
Score-BasedMulti Bet
Multiple selections from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. The odds multiply, so a winning return is much higher. But if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for an example.
High ReturnPowerplay Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in just the first 6 overs. Very popular in T20 because the form of the opening batters quickly determines the outcome of this small window.
T20 SpecialHow to Read and Understand Odds
rajabaji apps displays odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — All three formats together:
A ৳200 bet is placed on team A to win. Decimal odds 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, the total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds:
If team B is the favourite, their odds might be decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A winning ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Return on ৳200 Bet (if Team A wins) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 | ৳600 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 | ৳600 |
| American | +200 | -200 | ৳600 |
Multi Bet Example
Three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 — combined, the total odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all selections win. But if any one of them loses, the full ৳100 is gone — a multi bet carries both high return and high risk.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
In live betting, odds update after every ball while the match is in progress. When a wicket falls, the batting team's match-winner odds rise immediately — because their chance of winning has dropped. Conversely, when the bowling team takes a wicket, their odds shorten.
Odds are set by calculating how many runs are still needed relative to the run rate as overs progress. If the batting team needs a large number of runs in the final 5 overs, their odds naturally become much longer.
During live betting you must make your decision before each market closes — especially right after the toss or just before the end of the powerplay. Live markets on rajabaji apps keep pace with how the match is unfolding.
In-play betting can be fast-paced and puts pressure on quick decisions. Stay within a set budget and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Understand the format before you bet: In T20 a big hitter can change the game; in Test cricket pitch and weather play a much bigger role. It is natural for your market preferences to differ by format.
-
Set your budget in advance: Decide how much you will bet on each match before you start. Splitting your total budget into smaller amounts rather than putting a large portion on one bet reduces your risk.
-
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns, but one losing selection wipes everything out. Starting with just two selections is safer.
-
Do not rush in live betting: Even when odds are changing fast, take a moment before each bet. Avoid placing large bets on impulse.
-
Betting is part of entertainment: Cricket betting is a way to enjoy the game more, not a guaranteed source of income. You can learn more in the FAQ section.
-
Convenient on mobile: Placing live bets while following a match from anywhere is easy through the rajabaji apps app. See the rajabaji apps App page for details.
