Cricket Betting at xbajee 1 — Bet on Every Format from T20 to Test
xbajee 1 offers betting on BPL, IPL and international cricket matches across various markets. How to read odds, which markets you can bet on, and how live betting works — all of these are explained clearly on this page.
Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each of the three formats has a different style of betting. Knowing which tournament uses which format helps you prepare better before placing a bet.
Fastest format
Only 20 overs per team. Leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format. The run rate changes quickly in limited overs, so in live betting odds shift from moment to moment. The T20 World Cup is the most popular international event among Bangladeshi fans.
Fifty-over cricket
In One Day Internationals each team plays 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is held in this format. ODI is a good way to see how betting markets move as you watch the scorecard mid-game.
Five-day contest
The longest and most traditional format of cricket. A draw is possible in Test matches, so markets offer three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Over five days odds shift with falling wickets and the weather.
BPL and IPL: The Most Talked-About Leagues
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the most talked-about betting event among local cricket fans. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is equally popular, especially as the final approaches.
In these two leagues, markets such as match winner, toss winner and top run-scorer are used the most. During Bangladesh Tigers international matches, sports betting at xbajee 1 Bet gets even busier.
International Cricket and World Cups
The ICC T20 World Cup and the One Day World Cup offer the widest variety of betting markets. In the knockout stage odds change quickly, and if several wickets fall within an over the in-play market can shift completely.
Before betting, you should read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Alongside Cricket — Football and Other Sports
Cricket is the main sport at xbajee 1, but betting is also available on football and a few other sports.
Cricket vs Football Betting — What Is the Difference?
Cricket has far more detailed betting markets — not just a match winner market, but also runs per over, top wicket-taker, or next dismissed batter. In football the most common markets are match result (1/X/2), both teams to score, and total number of goals.
In cricket, a single wicket can change the entire flow of the game, so in-play betting requires quick decisions. In football, a goal or a red card shifts the odds in the same way. Live betting has a different kind of intensity in each sport.
For those who want to bet on several matches at once rather than sticking to cricket, the multi-bet betting guide covers this in detail.
Other sports
Beyond cricket and football, betting is also available in categories such as badminton, tennis and esports. Each sport has a different market structure, but the method of reading odds stays the same. Those interested in casino games can play live baccarat and roulette at xbajee 1 Casino.
Popular Betting Markets — How to Bet on Each
Choosing the right market is the most important part of cricket betting. Below are seven familiar markets with brief examples.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. In T20 and ODI only two outcomes are possible; in Test a draw is added. Example: if you bet on Team A to win between Team A and Team B, you win only if Team A wins.
Most popularToss Winner
You can bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. Regardless of what happens on the field, the outcome of the toss market is decided at the moment of the toss only. Considering the pitch and weather, many people treat the toss market as a separate strategy.
Pre-matchTop Run-Scorer
Which batter will score the most runs? In this market you bet on a specific batter. Batting order and pitch conditions influence this market the most.
Batting focusTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? Bets are placed by considering which bowler — combining pace and spin — could be most effective given the conditions on that day.
Bowling focusTotal Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in a match or an innings will be above or below a set line. Example: will total runs in the first innings exceed 160? If the pitch is slow, the under has the argument.
Numbers betOver in Which First Wicket Falls
In which over will the first wicket fall — this is a specific event-based market. It depends heavily on the opening bowler's rhythm and the pitch behaviour. This market is also available in in-play betting.
Event bettingMulti Bet — Several Markets Combined
Combining multiple markets into a single bet increases the combined odds, but every selection must be correct. For example, match winner + total runs over/under + toss winner — putting three together gives combined odds much higher than each one separately. However, if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For more on multi bets, see the multi-bet guide.
How to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Odds are written in three formats. Decimal is the most familiar at xbajee 1, but understanding the other two is also useful.
| Odds format | Team A wins — example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return on a ৳1,000 bet is ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Profit of ৳5 for every ৳4 staked |
| American (+) | +125 | A stake of 100 returns a profit of 125 |
| Decimal | 1.25 | Team B (favourite) — total return on a ৳1,000 bet is ৳1,250 (profit ৳250) |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Profit of only ৳1 for every ৳4 staked |
| American (−) | −400 | You must stake 400 to win a profit of 100 |
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats
Say Team A's odds to win are 2.25 in decimal, 5/4 in fractional and +125 in American — all three mean the same thing. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,250 if Team A wins (profit ৳1,250 plus original stake ৳1,000). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
If Team B is the favourite their odds are 1.25 or 1/4 or −400 in American. Here American minus odds mean — you need to stake ৳400 to win a profit of ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet gives a profit of only ৳250, with a total return of ৳1,250.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
In-play betting is the opportunity to bet while the match is in progress. Every wicket and every boundary reshapes the odds.
What happens when a wicket falls?
When a good batter gets out, the bowling team's chances of winning increase, so their odds shorten (meaning they become more of a favourite) and the batting team's odds lengthen. This change is reflected in the market within seconds.
If there is a big score in the powerplay or a wicket falls in the very first over, the gap in odds widens considerably. In live betting you therefore need to read the situation before deciding.
Over-by-Over Market
A separate market is open on whether runs in each over will be above or below a set number. If a team needs 18 runs off the last over, the last-over market becomes very tight.
Next Event Bet
What will happen on the next ball (wide, no-ball, six, wicket) — these markets are fully live. Some markets close as soon as the bowler starts their run-up, so quick decisions are needed.
Score Suspend and Reopen
In live betting markets can be suspended during a break — especially for a DRS review or rain. When a market reopens, bets can be placed at the new odds.
Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is entertainment — keeping that in mind when planning makes for a better experience.
Start with one market
Placing bets across many markets at once from the start creates confusion. Starting with a simple market like match winner or toss winner gives you the chance to get comfortable with reading odds.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you can spend. Betting is part of entertainment, so be mentally prepared for both wins and losses. Budget for what you can afford to lose, not for what you expect to win.
Compare odds before and after the match
Pre-match odds and in-play odds are often different. Reading odds for the same market at two different times will help you understand how valuations change in a live situation.
Read the terms and conditions
It is important to know the betting rules before using a bonus. For details, see the terms and conditions page.
Get help via live chat
xbajee 1 offers 24/7 live chat support in Bengali and English. If you have trouble understanding a market or have questions about a transaction, contact the support team directly.
Treat It as Entertainment
Keeping betting as a form of entertainment makes the experience enjoyable. The goal is not to bet to win, but to stay connected to the game.
If you feel it's becoming a problem, read the responsible gaming advice.
