raja baje Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, All Formats
From BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup to international Test series — bet on every cricket format at raja baje. Place bets across markets from match winner to live betting, and deposit using Bangladeshi payment methods.
Cricket's three formats and the tournaments you can bet on
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the difference between formats — because the style of play, match length and range of possible results vary across each one.
T20 Cricket
BPL IPL T20 World CupEach team plays just 20 overs, so results can turn quickly. A single over can change the course of a match, making T20 the most active format for live betting. raja baje offers a range of markets for BPL, IPL and international T20 matches.
ODI Cricket
50 Overs ICC World CupThis 50-over format is more balanced, giving both batting and bowling sides room to perform. The middle overs tend to be more tactical, which makes total runs and other markets popular for betting.
Test Cricket
5 Days Draw possibleIn a five-day Test, a draw is always possible, so the match winner market opens up three outcomes — home win, away win and draw. Pitch conditions, weather and player form all play a bigger role in this format.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, raja baje also offers betting on football and other sports. One key difference between cricket and football is the range and type of markets available. In football, a goal can come at any moment and the result is settled within 90 minutes, whereas in cricket every ball, wicket and over creates its own betting moment. Football's simplest market is 1X2 (home win/draw/away win), but cricket offers markets like toss, top batsman and over/under total runs that you won't find in other sports.

Popular cricket betting markets and how each one works
Each market works differently. Below are seven main markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
This market is simply about which team wins. In T20 or ODI you pick one of two teams, while in Test you can choose from three outcomes — win, draw or loss. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you bet on Team B and they win, you get a payout.
Toss Winner
You can bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The toss matters in cricket because, depending on the pitch and weather, teams choose to bat or field first. Example: if you bet on Team A to win the toss and they do, your bet is settled as a winner.
Top Batsman
This market is about which batter scores the most runs for a given team — so you are betting on individual performance. Example: you pick the batter you think will score the highest for Team A; if they end up with the top score, you win the bet.
Total Runs Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs in an innings or a full match will be over or under a set number. Example: will Team A score more than 150 runs in their first innings — a straightforward market where the result is easy to verify.
Multi Bet
You can combine bets from multiple matches or markets into one bet at combined odds. All selections must be correct to win, so the potential return is higher but so is the risk. For a detailed breakdown of how multi-bet calculations and methods work, see the raja baje multi-bet guide.
First Wicket Falling Over
You bet on which over the first wicket will fall in an innings. If a wicket falls during the powerplay, this market settles quickly. Example: a wicket will fall within the first five overs — a market that can be decided right at the start of the innings.
Betting Exchange
On a betting exchange, you can not only bet on a team to win (BACK) but also take the position that a team will not win (LAY). Example: if you BACK Team A with a ৳500 stake and they win, you make a profit; if they don't, you lose ৳500. If you LAY Team A, you take the opposite side — your liability is ৳500; if Team A does not win, you receive that ৳500 before commission is deducted. A commission is charged on winnings in this format.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — three formats
The same bet on the same match can be shown in three different formats. All three mean the same thing, just expressed differently.
| Format | Team A to win (৳500 stake) | Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Double your stake as profit |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| Format | Team B to win (favourite, ৳500 stake) | Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳900 (৳400 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Profit less than stake |
| American | -125 | ৳125 stake needed to make ৳100 profit |
A simple way to read odds
Decimal odds are the easiest to read. Multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return. For example, at odds of 3.00 a ৳500 bet returns ৳500 × 3.00 = ৳1,500 — of which ৳500 is your original stake and ৳1,000 is profit.
Fractional odds of 2/1 mean ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. 4/5 means ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked.
American odds with a plus (+) sign indicate the underdog — they show how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet. A minus (−) sign indicates the favourite — it shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Odds shift when wickets fall — how live in-play betting works
Betting while a match is in progress is called in-play or live betting. In cricket, the situation can change after every ball, so odds update in real time.
Say Team A is 90 for 2 after 10 overs. At that point Team A are the more likely winners, so their odds will shorten (for example, dropping from 3.00 to 1.70). If two wickets then fall in quick succession, the odds will lengthen again.
The end of the powerplay, a slowdown in run rate during the middle overs, or a bowling change in the death overs — each moment creates a different situation from a live betting perspective.
Live betting does require quick decisions, because odds can change within seconds. Always bet for entertainment — visit the responsible gaming page for more on playing responsibly.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Enjoy betting as entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make for a better experience.
- Start with one market: Focus on the match winner market first. Once you understand the format and how the teams have been playing recently, you can gradually move on to other markets.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will stake in each session before you start. Sticking to that limit is the key to keeping betting enjoyable.
- Choose markets that suit the format: Live betting and total runs markets work well in T20, while match winner and session markets are more common in Test. It is better not to bet on a format you don't understand.
- Keep track of pitch and weather: In cricket, the pitch type — spin-friendly or pace-friendly — and the weather can have a big impact on the result. This is especially relevant in Test matches.
- Don't chase losses: After a loss, it is best not to immediately place a larger bet to try to recover. Betting is always entertainment, not a way to earn income.
- Read the rules: Before you start betting, go through the site's terms and conditions — it is important to understand the wagering and betting rules in particular.
