Cricket Betting at bj 365 — bet on every moment of T20, ODI and BPL
bj 365 brings a complete cricket betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From T20 to Test, BPL to IPL — find a wide range of markets, accurate odds, and live in-play betting for every match, all in one place.
The three cricket formats and how betting differs
T20, ODI and Test — each format calls for a different approach and creates a different betting environment.
T20
Every ball matters in a 20-over match. Runs come fast, wickets fall quickly — so odds shift constantly. Most BPL and T20 World Cup matches are played in this format. T20 is the most active format for live betting.
One Day International
In a 50-over match, a lot can change in the middle of an innings. The strategy in the middle overs after the powerplay differs from the final 10 overs. ODI markets are available for ICC events and bilateral series.
Test Cricket
In a five-day Test, a draw is a valid result alongside a win for either side — so you can bet on three outcomes. Markets for top batsman or bowler performance are more common here. If you can follow the full match patiently, Test betting has its own appeal.
bj 365 Betting Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is Bangladesh's biggest domestic T20 tournament. Cricket fans in the country are most active in the betting markets during BPL. IPL matches also offer a wide variety of markets.
Special markets open for Bangladesh Tigers matches in the ICC T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup, and bilateral series. To learn about betting on football and other sports beyond cricket, see the sports betting guide — it has full details.
Cricket has a larger number of markets because a new situation can arise with every ball. In football, the situation changes slowly before a goal, but in cricket a six or a wicket can change the picture in an instant.
Popular betting markets — how each one works
These are the most commonly used cricket markets at bj 365.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI matches usually have two possible outcomes; Test matches have three (Team A win, Team B win, draw). For example, if Team A's odds are 1.65 and Team B's are 2.30 — a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,150 if it wins.
Toss Winner
In the toss winner market, the odds for both teams are usually close to each other. It is completely separate from the match result — it depends only on which team wins the toss.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. Understanding a team's batting order and current form makes this market more interesting.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the combined total runs scored by both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: the line is 300 runs — if you think both teams together will score more than 300, bet Over.
Multi Bet
You can combine three or more selections on the same ticket. Say three selections from different matches have odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 — the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28; a ৳100 stake returns ৳428 if all win. If any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Time of First Wicket
Bet on how many overs or balls into the match the first wicket will fall. The difference between a pace-friendly surface and a batting pitch has a big influence on this market.
How to read and understand odds
Decimal, fractional and American — all three formats carry the same information.
bj 365 generally displays odds in decimal format, but knowing how the three formats relate to each other is useful on any platform.
Suppose odds are given for Team A to win. Here is how the same odds look across the three formats:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return ৳500 on a ৳200 stake |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 (Team A, ৳200 stake): if it wins, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + original ৳200 stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite, Team B, decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American −125): a ৳200 stake returns ৳360 if it wins (৳160 profit). A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
Key things to remember
- Decimal odds are the easiest — multiply the figure by your stake to get the total return.
- With fractional odds, only the profit is shown — you need to add your original stake back.
- A positive American figure means an underdog; a negative figure means a favourite.
- Lower odds mean the market considers that team more likely to win — but the result is never guaranteed.
Live in-play betting — decisions while the match is on
Live betting is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket. Once the match starts, odds are updated after every wicket and at the end of every over.
Say Team A has scored only 50 runs in the first 10 overs and has lost 3 wickets — their odds of winning will lengthen because the situation looks difficult. At that moment, betting on Team B means getting shorter odds than before.
Conversely, if Team A suddenly hits two consecutive sixes and scores quickly, their odds shorten. Live betting means having the chance to make a new decision with every change in the match.
The odds above are for illustration only — live odds change continuously.
Some practical points to keep in mind before you start betting
Cricket betting is for entertainment — keeping these points in mind will improve the experience.
Set a budget in advance
Before each session, decide on a fixed amount you are prepared to spend. Staying within that limit is the foundation of responsible betting. Betting is for entertainment — it should not be treated as a source of income.
Start with one market
Beginners do well to start with the match winner market. Rather than trying to understand many markets at once, getting to know one market well is more effective. Add other markets gradually.
Low odds do not mean safe
The market treats a low-odds team as the favourite, but any result is possible in cricket. A single over or wicket can turn a match around — keep that in mind when placing bets.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Because odds change fast in live play, there is a tendency to make decisions under pressure. Take a calm look at the situation. For more on responsible gambling, see the responsible gaming guide.
Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet
A multi bet with three or four selections gives higher odds, but the risk is also higher. The more selections you add, the lower the chance of winning all of them. It is better not to go beyond two or three to begin with.
Quick reminders
- Decimal odds × stake = total return
- In live play, odds change the moment a wicket falls
- All selections in a multi bet must win
- Betting is for entertainment — winnings are not guaranteed
- For members aged 21+
