baji taka Cricket Betting — Find the best odds on BPL, IPL, and international matches
baji taka brings cricket betting to fans in Bangladesh across all major T20, ODI, and Test competitions. From Match Winner to live betting — every ball brings a new opportunity.
Cricket's three formats — how do they differ for betting?
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has a different pace, scoring pattern, and strategy, so the betting markets differ as well.
T20 is the fastest — big scores are possible in just 20 overs, making Total Runs Over/Under one of the most popular markets here. In ODI, the game can shift momentum several times across 50 overs — mid-match markets work well here. In Test cricket, matches span five days and a draw is also a possible result, which affects the odds structure differently.
In Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) draws the most attention — a domestic franchise tournament featuring local and international players. IPL also attracts strong interest from Bangladeshi fans. Beyond these, every Bangladesh Tigers match in the ICC T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy, and bilateral series is available on baji taka.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, baji taka lets you bet on football, tennis, badminton, and a few other sports. However, there are some key differences between cricket and football betting.
Football has three possible outcomes — home win, away win, or draw — so the odds structure differs from T20 cricket. Handicap betting and corners/cards markets are more common in football. In cricket, two-way outcomes (T20/ODI) generally make the odds more precise, and live odds change after every over, which is more frequent than in football.
If you want to try casino games beyond cricket, baji taka Casino offers live baccarat, roulette, and other table games. For a different fast-paced experience, try baji taka Plinko.

5 popular betting markets — with simple examples
baji taka offers various markets for cricket betting. The most common markets are explained below in plain terms.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match — that is all. In T20 there are two options: Team A or Team B. Example: Team A odds 1.45, Team B odds 2.75.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss. This has no connection to the match result — it is a completely separate bet, and the odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
Which player in a team will score the most runs. Odds are set based on the batting order and wicket conditions.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a target, such as 165 runs. You bet on whether the runs in that innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than that figure.
Multi Bet
Combining different markets from multiple matches into one bet. If all selections win, the return is much higher — but if any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Runs in the Next Over
A bet on the total runs to be scored in the next over of the current innings. You need to decide quickly, taking into account pitch conditions, the bowler, and the batters' form.
Decimal, Fractional, and American — odds formats explained simply
The same odds can be written in three different formats. baji taka generally displays decimal format, though all three may appear across different markets. Below is a detailed breakdown of the same bet shown in all three formats with returns.
Decimal: 2.25 | Fractional: 5/4 | American: +125
If Team A wins, return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + original ৳500 back). If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Decimal: 1.80 | Fractional: 4/5 | American: -125
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make a ৳100 profit. With a ৳500 stake, if Team B wins, the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Decimal format makes it easy to calculate total returns — just multiply the stake directly by the odds. Fractional and American formats are mainly used in Europe and the United States respectively, but all formats carry the same value.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Every over, every wicket, and the run rate — all of these affect the odds. It is quite different from regular pre-match betting.
For example, if Team A scores 80 runs in the first 10 overs without losing a wicket, their odds of winning will naturally shorten (meaning they become the favourite). If two wickets fall in the next over, the odds will shift again. That constant movement is what makes live betting interesting.
The baji taka app provides a live scorecard and real-time odds updates. You can place in-play bets from your mobile through the baji taka App.
| Situation | Effect on odds |
|---|---|
| Wicket falls | Batting team's odds lengthen (less favoured) |
| Quick run scoring | Batting team's odds shorten (more favoured) |
| Few runs needed in the final over | Batting team's odds shorten significantly |
| Rain / bad light | Market temporarily suspended or odds recalculated |
| End of Power Play | Odds reassessed as bowling restrictions change |
Live Betting Tips
- Follow the scorecard closely — understand the situation before making a decision
- Odds change very quickly — make sure before you place a bet
- Set a budget before you start and do not exceed your limit in the excitement of the match
- Betting is for entertainment — avoid large bets to chase losses
What you need to know before you start
Choose markets based on the format you understand
Total Runs and multi bets are more common in T20. In Test cricket, a draw is a possibility, so you need to consider three outcomes. Focus on the format you know best.
Be careful with multi bets
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all win — but if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Set your budget first
Decide how much you will spend each session before you begin. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and enjoy betting within your limits.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Special markets (Toss, Top Batsman) sometimes offer higher odds — but keep in mind that higher odds mean a lower probability of that outcome.
Betting is entertainment, not income
Bet on baji taka as added enjoyment alongside the sport. Rather than placing large bets to recover losses, stay within your set budget and enjoy the experience. For ages 21+ only.
