8 tbajee Cricket Betting — Odds for all formats from BPL, IPL and T20 to Tests
Bet on every moment of Bangladesh's favourite sport — from before the first ball to before the last. At 8 tbajee, separate markets for T20, ODI and Test matches, live odds, and easy deposit options are all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What to expect from each
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20: This short, fast-paced format can see the match turn around in just a few balls. BPL and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. When the national team plays in the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh Tigers supporters follow with even greater interest.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, key shifts happen in the middle overs. Run rate and wickets during those overs move the odds, making live betting particularly engaging.
Test: In this five-day format, pitch conditions, weather, and squad depth play a big role. A draw is a valid result, so the market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw.
Football and Other Sports — How they differ from cricket
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 8 tbajee. Football results are decided within 90 minutes and a draw is common, so the market always has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there are no draws, so you bet straight between two outcomes.
A key feature of cricket is individual performance markets — which batter will score the most runs, which bowler will take the most wickets. Football has fewer such individual markets, though the first goalscorer market is popular.
Those who want to follow multiple sports at the same time can combine cricket and football selections in a multi bet. This increases the potential return, but you only win if every selection is correct. For more details on the markets, visit the 8 tbajee Bet page.

- No draw in T20/ODI

- Individual performance markets in cricket
- Goals market is bigger in football
- Multi bet available in both sports
Popular Betting Markets
Here are the markets that attract the most bets in cricket.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI this is the simplest market — Team A or Team B.
Straight BetToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. The toss matters in cricket, especially when pitch or weather conditions favour one side.
Toss MarketTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs in the match? In this market you pick the best batter from within a specific team.
IndividualTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. Both innings' runs are counted.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
A single bet covering selections from multiple matches or markets. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if any one is wrong the bet loses.
Multi MarketMan of the Match
A bet on which player will deliver the best performance and win the Man of the Match award — particularly popular in big matches.
Special MarketHow to Read Odds — Three formats
There are three common ways to display odds — Decimal, Fractional, and American. 8 tbajee generally uses the decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to use any betting platform.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return of 2.5 per ৳1 staked (stake included) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Win 3 for every 2 staked — profit of 3/2 times the stake, on top of the stake |
| American | +150 | A ৳100 stake wins ৳150 profit; (+) means underdog |
Worked Example 1 — Same odds in three formats
৳500 bet on Team A to win. Odds are 2.50 decimal, 3/2 fractional, +150 American. If you win, total return is ৳1,250 — made up of ৳500 stake and ৳750 profit. If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Worked Example 2 — Odds on the favourite
Team B is the favourite. Odds are 1.25 decimal, 1/4 fractional, -400 American (minus means favourite — you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100). A ৳500 stake returns ৳625 if you win — just ৳125 profit. Returns are lower on the favourite, but the chance of winning is comparatively higher.
The figures above are for illustration only — they are not real match odds or a guarantee of any outcome.
Multi Bet Example
If three separate selections have odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = roughly 4.26. A ৳100 stake returns ৳426 if all three are correct — but if any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds change every over
Live in-play betting lets you bet while the match is going on. In cricket, every wicket or big six causes the odds to update instantly, creating new opportunities.
Odds when a wicket falls
Losing wickets quickly pushes up the batting team's odds to win — because the team is under pressure. The fielding team's odds shorten as a result.
Powerplay and Death Overs
In T20, a big score in the powerplay overs makes the target harder to chase. As the required run rate rises in the final five overs, the defending team's odds shorten.
Over-by-Over Markets
You can also bet on how many runs will be scored in a specific over. Watching the live scorecard while following the market makes it easier to decide.
Cash Out In-Play
On some markets you can exit a bet before the match ends — to lock in a profit if you are ahead, or to limit a loss.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Understand the format before you bet. T20 and Test markets are very different. Tests have a draw market; T20 does not — keep this distinction in mind when choosing a market.
-
Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match. Betting is for entertainment — avoid trying to recover losses.
-
Focus on one market. For beginners, starting with Match Winner or Over/Under is a good idea. Spreading bets across many markets at once makes things complicated.
-
Do not rush in live betting. Odds move fast, but making decisions based on emotion is not a good idea. Analyse the score and situation before placing a bet.
-
Play responsibly. Betting is for enjoyment, not a reliable source of income. If needed, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
