bj365 Cricket Betting — place bets on BPL, IPL and international matches
Make cricket — Bangladesh's favourite sport — even more enjoyable with the bj365 sports betting section. From T20 to Test, you can bet in support of your favourite team across every format.
The three cricket formats and where to bet
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format. Results are decided in just 20 overs, meaning a single ball can change the game. Bangladeshi fans follow BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup most closely.
ODI is a fifty-over game. A team's batting plan and bowling changes play a major role in betting decisions.
Test is the long five-day format. A draw is a possible result here, so the markets are different. Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches bring special excitement to the country.
How betting on football and other sports differs
At bj365 you can bet on football as well as cricket. Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. T20 and ODI cricket generally do not end in draws, so the market structure is different.
In football, handicap betting and over/under goal markets are very popular. Cricket, on the other hand, offers run rate, partnership and wicket-based markets that are not available in football.
You can also bet on sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, though the number of markets is smaller than in cricket or football. Understanding the rhythm of each sport helps you stay informed when betting.
7 popular cricket bets that players choose most often
Each market works a little differently. Below is a brief explanation of each, along with a simple example.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes — Team A or Team B. Example: if you think Team B is more likely to win, bet on Team B.
Toss Market
A bet on the result of the toss at the start of the match. You choose either Team A or Team B to win the toss. It is a simple market, but the result is entirely down to chance.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. You select one player from a team. Example: which batsman in Team A will finish top of the scoring.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or a full match will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: target runs 160 — will Team A score more than that?
How the First Wicket Falls
A bet on whether the first wicket will be bowled, caught or run out — this market relies entirely on cricket knowledge.
Multi Bet (multiple bets combined)
Combining the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return is larger. See multi bet details at bj365 Bet. A single wrong selection cancels the entire bet.
Betting Exchange
On an exchange you bet not only against the bookmaker but also against other bettors. You can place a BACK bet (for an outcome) or a LAY bet (against an outcome). This is different from traditional betting and somewhat more complex.
How to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Odds are written in three formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. bj365 generally shows decimal odds, but knowing all three formats is useful.
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | A ৳200 winning bet returns ৳450 in total (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same value — ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | Same value — ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet; if you lose, ৳200 is gone |
Example 1 (Team A to win, ৳200 stake): Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win you get ৳450 back; if you lose ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (betting on favourite Team B to win, Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200): a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 if correct (only ৳100 profit) — because the odds on a favourite are lower.
Multi Bet Example
3 selections combined: Decimal 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = combined odds 4.32 (approximate).
If all three are correct on a ৳100 stake, you get ৳432 back.
If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost — that is the risk in a multi bet.
These figures are for illustration only — they are not live odds or a guarantee of winnings.
In-play betting while the match is on — odds shift when wickets fall
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. The odds change with every ball, every wicket and every over.
Say Team A scores very few runs in the first 6 overs — Team B's odds to win will shorten because they are becoming the favourite. Conversely, if three quick wickets fall, the odds for the batting team's side will suddenly lengthen.
In T20 these shifts happen very fast, which makes live betting particularly engaging. Because quick decisions are needed, it is a good idea to have a plan before betting.
In-play betting is a form of entertainment — set an amount you are comfortable with and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Some simple habits to help you stay informed when betting on cricket
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or each week. Stick to that limit if you lose — increasing your bets driven by emotion is not a good idea.
- Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test markets are completely different. In T20 the toss can matter a lot; in Test the pitch condition plays a big role.
- Keep selections low in a multi bet: Adding more selections raises the potential return, but a single wrong selection cancels the whole bet. 2–3 selections is safer.
- Take your time with live betting decisions: Do not rush when odds are changing fast. Watch an over and then plan your bet.
- Treat betting as entertainment: Nobody can guarantee a win. Enjoy the cricket and keep betting as an added bit of fun.
- Keep your account secure: Keep your password private when logging in to bj365 and contact support directly if you notice any suspicious activity.
