Cricket Betting at bdjl — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Odds change ball by ball in BPL, IPL and international cricket. At bdjl you can bet on a range of markets from match winner to over/under — directly from your mobile, in Bangla.
Three Cricket Formats and the Tournaments Bangladeshi Fans Follow
Cricket is played in three main formats: T20, ODI and Test. The pace, strategy and betting markets differ across all three, so the betting experience is different for each.
T20: The fastest format, with each side playing just 20 overs. Bangladesh's BPL and India's IPL are both played in this format. With more swings in a shorter time, T20 is the most popular format for live betting. The T20 World Cup draws particular interest from cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI (One Day International): Each side plays 50 overs. Odds often shift mid-match in this format — after an early wicket falls or when a team scores below par in the powerplay. ICC events are usually held in ODI or T20 format.
Test Cricket: The longer five-day format. A draw is possible here, so the market structure is different from T20 or ODI. Over long sessions, pitch behavior and weather conditions influence betting markets.
Bangladeshi fans pay particular attention to BPL. IPL and international series also keep bdjl's betting markets active throughout the year.

How Betting Differs in Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at bdjl. There are some fundamental differences between the betting structure of cricket and football.
Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This is called a three-way market. T20 and ODI cricket generally have no draw, so only two outcomes are possible, which makes the bet more straightforward. Test cricket, where a draw is possible, works as a three-way market like football.
Football has markets like goal over/under, corner count and first goalscorer. The cricket equivalents are runs over/under, top batsman or runs per over. In both cases, the more specific the market, the higher the odds tend to be.
In two-sided sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, markets are generally set-based or match-winner — there is no complex innings-based breakdown as in cricket.
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. Pick one of the two teams. With no draw in T20 and ODI, the decision is simple.
Most PopularToss Bet
You can bet on who will win the toss before the match. The result is entirely random — it has no connection to pitch conditions or team strength. A simple market, but odds are usually close.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a given innings — this takes some analysis. Odds in this market tend to be higher, as there are many players in each team.
High Odds PossibleTotal Runs Over/Under
You can bet on whether the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. For example, in T20, total runs over or under 150 is a common over/under market.
Innings-BasedRuns Per Over
You can bet on how many runs will be scored in a specific over. This market is most popular during powerplay overs, where fielding restrictions apply.
Also in Live BettingMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
When you bet on multiple matches or markets at once, all odds are multiplied together to increase the total return. But if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: three selections at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 combined odds; a ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all three win.
Higher Return if All WinWickets and Bowler Markets
Which bowler will take the most wickets, or whether a wicket will fall in a specific over — these markets attract bettors with deeper cricket knowledge. Pitch conditions, bowler form and the batsman's record all need to be considered.
Expert MarketOdds in Three Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three different ways. All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. A real example is used below to explain.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Odds for Team B to Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | −200 |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to win (৳1,000):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, total return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (৳1,000 stake):
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. In this case, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 in total if you win (৳500 profit).
bdjl shows decimal format by default, as it is the easiest to calculate. Simply multiply your stake by the decimal odds to get your total potential return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Ball by BallLIVE
You can still place bets after the match has started — that is live or in-play betting. In cricket, every ball brings new information, so odds shift from moment to moment.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's position weakens — so their odds of winning increase (meaning their chance of winning is considered lower). The reverse is also true: if a team hits several big shots in a row, their odds shorten.
After the powerplay, run rates tend to drop in the middle overs, then in the final five overs death bowling and big hitting cause odds to move rapidly. This dynamic is what makes live betting engaging.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. You can place bets on live markets directly from bdjl's mobile interface. Using the bdjl App gets you live updates even faster.
Live betting on Test cricket is particularly different — pitch behavior changes between sessions, spin or bounce increases, and that directly affects the probability of wickets falling. A bettor who understands the pitch and conditions can follow the shifts in the market.
What Happens When a Wicket Falls
A wicket in the very first over puts pressure on the team's run rate. Odds shift quickly — from the match winner market through to the over/under market, everything is affected.
Final Over Pressure
When the required run rate is high in the last five overs, odds in many markets move up and down rapidly. This is when the most activity is seen in live markets.
Duckworth-Lewis Situation
If rain interrupts the match, the target may be revised. In this situation, most live markets are suspended temporarily.
Some Practical Points on Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — it is not a guaranteed way to make money. Keeping a few things in mind can make the experience more disciplined.
- Set a budget beforehand. Only bet what you can afford to lose. Instead of one large bet, smaller bets let you enjoy more matches.
- Focus on one market. Start by getting comfortable with simpler markets like match winner or over/under. Move to more complex markets later.
- Check pitch and weather information. On a spin-friendly pitch, the picture for the top batsman market changes. This information is publicly available.
- Timing matters in live betting. In-play markets require fast decisions, so keep a stable connection on your mobile.
- Take a break. Do not place a large bet on impulse after a loss. Make decisions with a clear head.
- Read the rules. Each market has its own Terms and Conditions — make sure you know what happens to your bet in the event of a tie or a match washed out by rain.
