nbajee Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet across multiple markets — match winner, toss, top batsman and more — in every format from T20 and ODI to Test. Live in-play betting, easy payments and 24/7 support, all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Favourite Tournaments
Twenty20
The fastest format. With only 20 overs per innings, results come quickly. BPL and IPL draw the largest crowds — in the stadium and in front of screens — in this format. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup are particularly popular among bettors in Bangladesh.
One Day International
This 50-over-per-innings format combines pace and tactics. The ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup are played in ODI format. Mid-match shifts in momentum change market odds, making live betting especially useful here.
Test Cricket
Five-day Test cricket is the most complex format from a betting perspective. Wickets, weather and pitch conditions all change together. A draw is also possible, so there are three outcomes to bet on — something not available in T20 or ODI.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket — all at nbajee
BPL is a special occasion for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Each season's franchise battles are compelling in their own right, while the IPL enriches the betting market with the world's top players. For every Bangladesh Tigers match at the T20 World Cup, markets are available both before and during the game.
In international series too — against the West Indies, India or Pakistan — nbajee offers separate markets for each series. Alongside football, cricket is the largest sports category on the platform.
Football and Other Sports — Compared to Cricket
Football is also popular at nbajee alongside cricket, but the betting structure of the two sports differs. A football match typically ends in 90 minutes and a draw is a common result — so bets are placed on three outcomes (team A wins, team B wins, draw). T20 and ODI cricket do not normally end in a draw, so the market structure is different.
Cricket has innings-based markets — such as total runs in the first innings, top batsman or highest wicket-taker — which do not exist in football. Football, on the other hand, has half-time/full-time and goal-at-a-specific-minute markets. Understanding these differences makes it easier to bet on either sport.
Markets for kabaddi and other sports appear occasionally, but cricket and football receive the most market coverage.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match between team A and team B, if you think team A will win, place your bet accordingly.
Cricket • FootballToss Betting
A market unique to cricket — bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two possibilities, so the odds are usually close to even.
Cricket OnlyTop Batsman
Bet on which player or which team's batsman will score the most runs. In T20, this market is particularly interesting because the top scorer can change quickly in a short innings.
Cricket OnlyTotal Runs Over/Under
A market on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: total runs in a T20 above or below 160.
Cricket • FootballMulti Bet
Selections from multiple matches are combined into one bet to create a combined odds figure. If three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 — so a ৳100 bet returns ৳378 if all selections are correct. If any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Cricket • FootballHandicap and Run Line
One team is given a virtual head start or deficit to even out the odds. For example, if team A is given a handicap of 15 runs, they must win by more than 15 runs for the bet to win.
Cricket OnlyA Simple Guide to Three Odds Formats
Betting odds are written in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The example below shows all three formats for team A winning.
| Format | Odds | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | A total return of ৳2.25 for every ৳1 staked (profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign means underdog) |
Example 1 (Team A, stake ৳200): Odds are 2.25 decimal, 5/4 fractional, +125 American. If team A wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake); if they lose, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B, favourite, stake ৳200): Odds are 1.50 decimal, 1/2 fractional, -200 American. A minus sign in American odds means the favourite — you must stake ৳200 to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Quick Rules for Reading Odds
- Decimal 1.00 means no profit — the higher the number, the greater the potential profit.
- Fractional 1/1 means "even money" — profit equals the stake.
- American "+" means underdog, "-" means favourite.
- Decimal format is the most commonly used at nbajee.
- Read all conditions carefully before placing a bet — check the Terms and Conditions.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
In-play betting lets you place bets after a match has started. In cricket this feature is especially important because situations change quickly. When a wicket falls or a batsman scores rapidly during a powerplay over, market odds can shift in an instant.
For example, if in a T20 match team B is batting and has scored 50 runs for 3 wickets in 10 overs, team B's odds of winning will be much lower than they were before the match. As overs progress and the required run rate increases, odds continue to adjust.
In-play betting in Test cricket is even more complex — over five days, pitch conditions, spin effectiveness and the fall of the last wicket all combine to shift the market.

Practical Tips — Getting the Most from Betting
Betting is entertainment. There is no guaranteed winning strategy — every bet carries the risk of a loss. Keeping the following points in mind will make for a better experience.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend this week or month, and stick to that limit.
- Start with one market: Get comfortable with straightforward markets like match winner before moving on to more complex ones.
- Do not rush in live betting: Odds change fast in in-play betting, so take each decision calmly.
- Be careful with multi bets: The combined odds may look attractive, but a single wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
- Follow responsible gaming practices: Betting is for entertainment. If you lose, it is best not to chase losses by placing more bets. Read nbajee's Responsible Gaming Guidelines to learn more.
- Understand the format: T20, ODI and Test each have their own pace and tactics — understanding each format before betting makes decisions easier.
The Key Thing to Remember
It is best not to expect a steady income from betting. Place bets as an added way to enjoy cricket matches — treating it as entertainment leads to a much better experience. All markets and live odds are easily available at nbajee Bet.
