Cricket Formats and Competitions
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the three main formats. T20 is the fastest format — each team plays just 20 overs, so odds shift from moment to moment. In ODI, each side plays 50 overs, and run rate along with wickets in hand plays a big role in the betting markets. Test matches run over five days — there is more opportunity to analyse batting conditions, pitch behaviour and the flow of the match.
On the competition side, BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise tournament and naturally draws the most interest from local fans. Many Bangladeshi fans also follow IPL matches closely. When the Tigers take the field in the T20 World Cup and other ICC events, betting interest reaches its peak. bdjl keeps betting markets open across all these competitions.
Before you start betting, take a look at the bdjl terms and conditions page to understand the rules.
Football and Other Sports
Football betting is also popular at bdjl alongside cricket. There are some differences in how betting works for the two sports. In football, a draw is a possible outcome, so there are usually three options to bet on — team A wins, team B wins or a draw. In limited-overs cricket (T20, ODI) a draw is generally not possible, so the market is mainly two-sided.
In football, number of goals, both teams to score and half-time result are available as separate markets. In cricket, you can bet on over-by-over analysis, toss outcome and individual batsman or bowler performance — which are not available in football.
There are also betting options for badminton, volleyball and other sports. Each sport has its own market structure, so it makes sense to bet on the sport you know best.
Popular Betting Markets
Several betting markets are available for cricket matches at bdjl. Each market calls for a different kind of analysis — the most common ones are briefly outlined below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Pick team A or team B and check the result at the end.
SimpleToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Many people are drawn to this market based on pitch conditions.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team? You pick one batsman from the team in this market.
AnalyticalTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose between over or under — whether the runs scored in the match or a specific innings will be more or fewer than the set number.
PopularMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all of them are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
High ReturnHandicap Betting
One team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the market. The weaker side receives a handicap against the stronger team so there is interest on both sides.
For Experienced BettorsMulti bet example: Say you place bets on three separate matches — the decimal odds for each selection are 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively. Combined, the total odds are 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). So on a ৳100 bet, if all selections are correct you get back ৳581. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
How Odds Work
Odds in betting markets are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just presented differently. The table below uses two examples to make this clear.
| Situation | Decimal | Fractional | American | Return on ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team A wins (underdog) | 2.25 | 5/4 | +125 | ৳1,125 (profit ৳625) |
| Team B wins (favourite) | 1.80 | 4/5 | -125 | ৳900 (profit ৳400) |
What does decimal odds of 2.25 mean? Multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. ৳500 × 2.25 = ৳1,125 — subtract the original stake of ৳500 and the profit is ৳625. If the bet loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
What do American minus odds (-125) mean? Minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. -125 means you stake ৳125 to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet, the profit is ৳400 and the total return is ৳900.
Fractional odds 5/4: The number on the right is the stake, the number on the left is the profit. So ৳4 staked returns ৳5 profit — the ratio applies to any amount.
Live In-Play Betting
bdjl lets you place bets while a cricket match is in progress — this is called in-play or live betting. After the match starts, odds shift after every over and every wicket, so the ability to read the situation matters more here.
Say in a T20 match, team A has scored only 60 runs in 10 overs and lost 4 wickets. At that moment, team A's odds of winning will increase because they are behind, and team B's odds will shorten. After the powerplay, a top batsman's dismissal — or a flurry of sixes and fours — can change the picture in an instant.
Live betting in Test matches: The pitch changes over five days. A batting-friendly pitch on day one can become a spinner's track by day three. These changes have a direct impact on the odds.
Keep in mind with in-play betting — there is pressure to decide quickly. Set your own limits and treat it as entertainment. For more on responsible betting, see the bdjl responsible gaming guidelines.
Some Useful Betting Tips
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will spend in each session before you start. Placing bigger bets to recover losses is not a good idea.
- Focus on one market: Start by getting comfortable with simpler markets like match winner or over/under. Betting across too many markets at once leads to confusion.
- Keep track of pitch and weather: In cricket, the pitch type and ground conditions directly affect the markets. If rain is forecast, many markets can change.
- Compare odds: Check how odds look across different markets for the same match. Use whichever format — decimal, fractional or American — you find easiest to understand.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns but carry more risk. One wrong selection loses the whole bet — so keep the number of selections low.
- Betting is entertainment, not investment: Cricket betting is a leisure activity. Expecting guaranteed profit from it leads to problems.
What is a betting exchange?
In regular betting you bet against the site. In a betting exchange you bet against other users. There are two roles:
BACK: If you think team A will win, stake ৳500. If they win you profit ৳400 (before commission); if they lose you are down ৳500.
LAY: If you think team A will not win, lay them. Against a backer staking ৳500, your liability is ৳400. If team A does not win you profit ৳500; if they win you pay ৳400.
