beti baazi Cricket Betting — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and World Cup
Bet across every format from T20 to Test — match winner, toss, top batsman and more. Read the odds, follow the live betting, all in one place.
Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh follow all three formats — each has its own appeal and its own approach to betting.
The Fastest Format
In a 20-over match, runs come quickly and wickets can fall without warning. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, making T20 the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans. Odds shift in an instant, making live betting most active here.
The Fifty-Over Contest
Strategy matters more in a 50-over match — when a batsman accelerates, which spell a bowler targets for wickets. ODIs are played at ICC events and bilateral series. The Bangladesh Tigers' performances here get particular attention.
Five Days of Patient Play
In a five-day Test, squad depth, pitch behaviour and weather all play a significant role. A draw is possible, so there are three betting outcomes — home team wins, away team wins or draw. A longer match also means more opportunities to bet on individual innings markets.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The BPL season brings extra excitement in Bangladesh. Watching the action live from Dhaka's stadiums on television while placing live bets on beti baazi has become part of the experience for many fans.
Bangladeshi fans follow the IPL just as keenly. Betting activity peaks during Bangladesh national team matches at the T20 World Cup and other ICC events. The same markets are open for international bilateral series too.
Before getting into the markets, it helps to have a clear understanding of odds — that is covered in the next section.
How to Read Odds
The same outcome can be shown in three different formats. Here are some examples to help you follow along.
Odds tell you how much you will get back on a bet. beti baazi shows three formats: decimal, fractional and American.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3 returned for every ৳1 bet |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 bet |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win
A bet on Team A to win at decimal 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 if correct (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If it loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B as favourite
If Team B is the favourite, the odds might be decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American odds figure means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if correct (৳800 profit).
Lower odds mean a lower return but a higher implied probability; higher odds mean a higher return but a lower implied probability. There are no guarantees — betting is for entertainment.

Popular Betting Markets
Cricket offers far more than just 'who will win' — there are dozens of markets to bet on.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team wins the match. Two outcomes in T20 (no draw), three in Test.
All FormatsToss Winner
Settled before the match starts — which team wins the toss. It's a 50/50 outcome, so odds are usually even.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batsman scores the most runs in a specific innings or match. Multiple player options are available.
Innings MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line (for example 160.5). You bet on whether the total runs will be above or below that number.
T20 & ODIMulti Bet
Combining multiple bets multiplies the total odds. Three bets at 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52; a ৳100 bet returns ৳452 — but if any single one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MatchesTop Bowler
Which bowler takes the most wickets in a match or innings. Knowledge of pitch conditions — spinner versus pacer — is useful here.
Bowling MarketHandicap Market
One team is given a virtual runs advantage (or deficit) to level the contest. If the weaker team is given a handicap, the outcome depends on the margin of runs — the match result alone is not what matters here.
First Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over — as an over/under or a specific range. Understanding whether an aggressive or cautious opening is expected during the powerplay makes this market interesting.
In-Play Betting — Odds Change During the Match
When a wicket falls, a boundary is hit or rain stops — odds update second by second.
Live cricket betting is a different experience from standard pre-match betting. If two wickets fall in one over, the batting team's odds lengthen — the bookmaker is reflecting a lower probability of them winning. Conversely, if a big hitter comes to the crease in the final five overs, the odds can swing the other way.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting:
- Follow the match situation closely — pitch report, dew factor and weather all affect odds.
- Odds move fast — a big shift can happen within a single ball, so there is little time to decide.
- If you add live markets to a multi bet, you can include selections from different matches.
- When betting on mobile, the beti baazi App shows live scores and betting together in one screen.
Live betting works best when you are watching the match as it happens — it is easier to follow the odds movement that way. The beti baazi App makes live betting convenient from anywhere.
Football and Other Sports
beti baazi also offers betting on several sports beyond cricket.
Football is the second most popular sport in Bangladesh after cricket. Matches in the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and UEFA Champions League follow much the same market structure as cricket — match winner (with draw as a third option), total goals over/under, handicap. There are some differences though:
Cricket vs Football
Cricket has innings-based markets such as top batsman and over runs. Football more commonly features half-time/full-time and both teams to score markets. In T20 cricket, odds shift on every ball; in football they can hold steady for long periods when there are no goals.
Other Sports
Betting markets are also available for tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Match winner and set winner are the most common markets in these sports. The approach is the same — understand the odds and set your stake.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
How regular bettors enjoy betting as entertainment — some common habits.
-
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting this season or this week. Do not go beyond that limit. -
Choose markets that suit the format
Toss market or powerplay runs in T20, day-end runs or wickets in Test — different markets work better in different formats. -
Read the pitch report
On a spin-friendly pitch, a spinner appearing in the top bowler market is natural. Pitch type plays a big role in how odds are set. -
Weather and the Duckworth-Lewis rule
If rain reduces a match, the DLS method changes the target. Keep this in mind when placing live bets. -
Treat it as entertainment
Betting is not a way to earn income — it is a way to add a little more to the enjoyment of watching a match. Bet responsibly — find out more on our responsible gaming page.
Multi Bet Calculation
Three selections: decimal 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52. A ৳100 bet returns ৳452 if all three win. But if any one of them loses, the full ৳100 is gone. Multi bets offer higher odds, but getting every selection right is harder.
