bj888 Cricket Betting — All Matches from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket — bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport at bj888. Enjoy live betting across a range of markets from match winner to top batsman.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is woven into the heart of Bangladesh. At bj888 you can bet across three main formats — each with its own pace and betting approach.
T20: The fastest format with the most active markets. With matches wrapping up in just 20 overs, the situation can change every ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the two most talked-about tournaments in this format — Bangladeshi fans follow both closely. Live betting on the ICC T20 World Cup is also available at bj888.
ODI: The 50-over one-day format balances strategy with patience. The Tigers' international series at home generate the most excitement in this format.
Test: In five-day Test cricket, longer-term markets — series winner, innings runs or top wicket-taker — are more popular. The overall match picture matters more here than over-by-over changes.
Football and Other Sports — What's the Difference
Alongside cricket, bj888 also offers betting on football, kabaddi and other sports. However, there are notable differences in how betting works compared to cricket.
Football typically has three possible outcomes — win, draw or loss. In limited-overs cricket there are no draws, so the market is split directly between the two teams. This means match winner odds in cricket are generally closer together than in football.
One advantage cricket has is the innings break — during that time live markets are reset and new odds are set for the second innings, which has no equivalent in football.
The bj888 casino section includes table games and live dealers. For more details, visit the bj888 Casino page.
No draw — market is split directly between two teams. Odds change over by over.
Three outcomes — win, draw, loss. Half-time score and corner markets are also popular.
A draw is possible. Series markets and long-term betting are more relevant here.
Kabaddi, badminton and more — each with its own market structure and live options.
bj888 Popular Betting Markets
You can bet across multiple markets in every cricket match. The most commonly used markets are explained below.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Since there is no draw in T20 or ODI, the market is straightforward — Team A or Team B. Example: if Team A's odds are 1.80, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team A wins.
T20 ODIToss Betting
A bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. The toss can be quite significant on certain pitches in cricket. Since it is a 50-50 event, odds are usually around 1.90.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. This market offers more variety as multiple players each carry their own odds. Example: if a Team A batsman is listed at 3.50, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,750 if that player tops the scoring.
T20 ODITotal Runs Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs scored in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: in T20, pitch conditions and weather are relevant factors for an over/under market set at 160 total runs.
Over/UnderTop Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Spinners' odds shorten on spin-friendly pitches and pacers' odds shorten on pace-friendly ones. The pitch report before the match is relevant for this market.
Test ODIMulti Bet
Bets on three matches or markets are combined into one. Example: three bets at odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80 combine for total odds of 4.90 (rounded), so a ৳100 multi bet returns ৳490 if all win — but if any one loses, the entire stake is gone.
Multi BetUnderstanding Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
bj888 normally displays odds in decimal format, as it is the easiest to understand. However, fractional or American formats can also be seen on international platforms.
Worked Example 1: Team A to win, stake ৳500. Decimal odds 2.50 — fractional equivalent 3/2, American +150. If Team A wins, total return is ৳1,250 (profit ৳750 + original stake ৳500). If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Worked Example 2: Team B is the favourite, stake ৳500. Decimal odds 1.25 — fractional 1/4, American -400 (negative American odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100). If Team B wins, total return is ৳625 (profit ৳125).
With decimal odds, total return = stake × odds. With fractional odds, profit = stake × (numerator/denominator). With American positive odds, profit = stake × (odds ÷ 100); with negative odds, profit = stake ÷ (odds ÷ 100).
| Format | Team A (Ex. 1) | Team B (Ex. 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | −400 |
| Return on ৳500 stake | ৳1,250 | ৳625 |
| Profit | ৳750 | ৳125 |
Team A / Team B are example names only — they do not refer to any specific team or live odds. Betting is for entertainment purposes.
Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs — In-Play Betting
Once a match starts, live betting remains open at bj888. Odds update with every wicket, every six or a bad over. For example, if Team A is batting and loses two early wickets quickly, Team A's odds of winning will lengthen while Team B's will shorten.
If the run rate is low at the end of the powerplay, the odds for the team behind the target will keep drifting out. Odds move fastest in the last five overs.
Keeping up with the flow of the match during in-play betting allows you to make more informed decisions. Remember — betting is always for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
Cricket Betting: Some Useful Tips
These tips will help you approach betting in a more informed and planned way.
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake in each match. It is best not to put more than a set portion of your total budget on a single match.
Know the format: Betting strategy differs between T20 and Test. Live markets move fast in T20; in Test there is more time to assess how the situation is developing.
Pitch and weather: Knowing the rain forecast and the nature of the pitch (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) makes it easier to make informed choices in certain markets.
Consider multiple markets: Look beyond just the match winner — check markets like the toss or over/under as well. Variety makes betting more interesting.
Play responsibly: Betting is a form of entertainment. If you lose, chasing losses with bigger bets is not wise. Visit the responsible gaming page for more information.
