Cricket Betting at bj365 — bet on all formats from T20 to Test
Accessible markets on every over of BPL, IPL and international matches, real-time live odds, and support in Bengali — bj365 is built for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
Three formats of cricket and popular competitions
The first thing to understand in cricket betting is the difference between formats. T20, ODI and Test each have a different style of play, so odds and markets are also structured differently.
T20: The fastest format. A match ends in just 20 overs, so every ball matters. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and it is the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Interest in betting on local teams in the Bangladesh Tigers' BPL matches is always high.
ODI: In the 50-over format, strategy plays a much bigger role. Major international series including the ICC World Cup and Asia Cup are played in this format. Total runs, number of wickets, and partnership markets are especially popular in ODI betting.
Test: This five-day format is a test of patience. With three possible results including a draw, the odds calculation differs from T20 or ODI. In Test betting, markets like which team leads after the first innings or which batter will score a century tend to attract attention.
At bj365, alongside BPL and IPL, markets for the T20 World Cup and other international series are also available. If you want to bet on football and other sports beyond cricket, visit the bj365 Bet page for all details.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
In Bangladesh, football is the sport with the most interest after cricket. However, there are some fundamental differences between the cricket and football betting experience. In cricket, odds can change after every ball, whereas in football odds often remain relatively stable until a goal is scored.
In football's match winner market there are three outcomes — home win, draw and away win. In T20 cricket there is no draw, so the market is limited to just two teams. Keeping this difference in mind makes reading odds easier.
Markets are also available for sports like badminton, tennis and kabaddi, where point-by-point betting is possible. However, cricket-focused markets remain the most widely used among bettors in Bangladesh.
Football Betting
In football, the over/under goals market is popular alongside the three markets of home win, draw and away win.

Various types of markets are available for cricket betting at bj365. Below are seven familiar markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Team A vs Team B — pick either one. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. The result is known before the match starts, so this is straightforward but entirely luck-based.
Top Batter
A bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match. There may be separate markets for Team A and Team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
A line is set for the total runs in the match, for example 160. You bet on whether the actual runs will be more than that number (over) or less (under).
Over of First Wicket
A market for predicting which over the first wicket will fall. Whether a wicket will fall in the powerplay is a topic discussed among experienced bettors.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections from different matches are added to the same slip and the odds are multiplied. Example: odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80 on three selections give combined odds of ≈ 4.90 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳490, but if even one selection loses the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
To reduce the difference in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual head start in runs. For example, if Team B is given a 20-run advantage, the bet is won only if they win accounting for that margin.
Odds are written in three ways: decimal, fractional and American
On bj365 and all modern sportsbooks, the same odds can be seen in three formats. All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. In Bangladesh, decimal format is the simplest and most common.
If the bet wins, return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
American minus odds (-125) mean you need ৳125 to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet, the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Multiplying decimal odds directly by the stake gives the total return — this is the easiest way to calculate. bj365 shows decimal format by default.
Live Betting — odds change when wickets fall
LIVE The opportunity to bet while a match is in progress is live or in-play betting — it is especially popular in cricket because the situation can change dramatically with every over.
Suppose Team A has made a good start in the powerplay and scored 60 runs in 6 overs. At that point, Team A's odds of winning decrease and Team B's odds increase. Now if two wickets fall for Team A in the 7th over, the odds change again immediately.
Some examples of live markets:
- How many runs will be scored in the next over (over/under)
- Whether a wicket will fall on the next ball
- At what score the current batter will be dismissed
- Who will win in the second innings
Live betting requires quick decisions — the bet must be confirmed before the odds change. It is entertaining, but it is important to play calmly and within your budget.
If the bj365 App is installed on your mobile, you can follow the match and place live bets from anywhere.

Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guaranteed way to win. However, some habits help you enjoy betting responsibly.
- Set a budget — decide in advance how much you will bet in each session and stick to it. Trying to recover losses by placing bigger bets is risky.
- Understand the format — betting strategy differs between T20 and Test matches. In T20, the last two overs can change a lot.
- Focus on one market — start by understanding one or two markets well, rather than betting on everything at once.
- Be patient in live betting — when odds are changing, watch the situation rather than rushing.
- Play responsibly — if you feel betting is getting out of control, take a break immediately. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
