nbaji Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
nbaji is ready with real-time odds, live in-play betting and a wide range of markets across BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international series.
Cricket's three formats and popular competitions
Each format has its own pace and strategy. Understanding the format before betting matters — because the same team can perform very differently across formats.
T20 Cricket
BPL IPL T20 WCIn this twenty-over format, the match can turn around at any moment. Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL attract the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. Odds change fast, making this format particularly active for live betting.
ODI Cricket
50 Overs ICC EventsMid-match strategy plays a big role in fifty-over one-day matches. Bangladesh Tigers play their ICC Championship and World Cup matches in this format. ODI betting is especially popular in top batter and top bowler markets.
Test Cricket
5 Days Pitch AnalysisIn a five-day Test, a draw is a valid result — so separate odds are available for three possible outcomes. Odds shift with each falling wicket, and the possibility of a draw adds complexity to betting strategy.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football betting is also very popular on nbaji. In a ninety-minute football match, three outcomes are possible — win, loss or draw — giving it a different odds structure. While cricket offers over-by-over markets, football tends to feature half-time and full-time results, corner kicks and goalscorer markets.
The core principles of betting are the same across all sports — understanding the odds, choosing your market and staying within your budget. Betting is for entertainment; read the responsible gaming guide to make sure every bet is placed with care.
Popular Betting Markets — how they work
On nbaji, you can bet on multiple markets within a single match at the same time. Below is a brief explanation of the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match is the simplest market. For example — in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match. In T20, the toss often influences the match result, which makes this market a talking point.
Top Batter
You predict which batter will score the most runs in a given innings. This market is enjoyable if you like following individual performances.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match or a specific innings be above or below a set number — this market is about the volume of runs, not which team performs better.
First Wicket Score
You can bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls. The form of the opening batters and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
When you combine selections from different markets across multiple matches into a single bet, that is a multi bet. All selections must be correct to win — if any single one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
How odds are written in three formats
Betting sites display odds in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. These are simply three different ways of expressing the same probability. nbaji generally uses the decimal format, which is the most straightforward for Bangladeshi players.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (Team A wins, stake ৳1,000):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If Team A wins you receive ৳2,250 back (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if Team A loses you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (Team B wins, stake ৳1,000):
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If Team B wins you receive ৳1,500 back (৳500 profit).
The higher the odds, the greater the potential profit — but it also means that team is considered less likely to win. For detailed betting rules, see the nbaji Bet page.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
| Return on ৳1,000 stake | ৳2,250 | ৳1,500 |
| Profit | ৳1,250 | ৳500 |
These figures are examples only — not live odds or a guarantee of winnings.
Live In-Play Betting — make your call mid-match
When a wicket falls, odds change — and so do the opportunities
In-play betting means you can place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, every wicket, six or maiden over can shift the odds in an instant. When a team loses three wickets in five overs, its odds in the match winner market can jump sharply.
Speed of reaction matters in live betting — keep an eye on the scoreboard and make decisions in line with odds updates. That said, do not let the pressure of quick decisions push you into betting beyond your budget.
On the nbaji mobile app, live scores and in-play markets can be viewed together from anywhere. For more about the app, visit the nbaji app page.
A few things to keep in mind before you start betting
Understand the market before you bet
Each market has its own rules. Match winner, total runs or multi bet — understand how each one is settled before you place your bet.
Set your budget first
Stay within the amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income.
Adjust your strategy by format
A team that performs well in T20 may not play the same way in Test cricket. Choose your markets with format-specific performance in mind.
Be careful with multi bets
Adding more selections increases the potential reward, but the risk increases just as much. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost — so it is better to avoid too many selections in a multi bet.
Keep emotions in check during live betting
Placing bet after bet in response to your team losing is a common mistake. Set your limit before a live session and stick to it.
Wallet and Payment
You can deposit and withdraw at any time via bKash, Nagad and Rocket. The minimum for both deposit and withdrawal is ৳500. Withdrawals are usually completed within 5–30 minutes.
