Cricket betting at hi bajie — bet on every format from T20 to Test
hi bajie is with you for every moment of BPL, IPL and international cricket. From match winner to live in-play — make your betting experience more enjoyable.
The three cricket formats and popular competitions
Much of the enjoyment of cricket betting depends on which format you are betting on. hi bajie offers betting on all three main formats — each has its own characteristics that make its betting markets distinct.
Just 20 overs — the game can change with every ball. The most action-packed format for fast odds updates and live betting.
A 50-over match tests strategy and patience. Odds shift significantly when wickets fall in the middle overs.
In this five-day format, a draw is a valid result. Besides match winner, series markets and innings markets are also popular.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the closest to home. Alongside it, hi bajie also offers detailed markets for international tournaments like IPL and the T20 World Cup. Bangladesh national team (Tigers) matches tend to have a higher number of betting markets as well.
Differences in betting across cricket, football and other sports
Cricket Betting
In cricket, odds can change after every ball. When a wicket falls, a big score is hit, or rain arrives, the market takes on a new shape immediately. In Test matches, the draw market means you can bet on three outcomes, whereas in limited-overs cricket there are usually only two.
Football Betting
hi bajie football betting features markets such as goalscorer, corners and Asian handicap that do not exist in cricket. A football match ends in ninety minutes, so in-play odds move faster.
WL Live
For those interested in virtual games outside of sports, the WL Live section offers a different experience — you will find its own type of live content there.
Key Differences in Betting
In cricket, results can shift many times over a long innings, which makes live betting especially important. In football or other sports, match duration is fixed — planning is simpler, but the pace of live changes is higher.
5 popular markets in cricket and how they work
Each market has its own rules — some are straightforward, others require analysis. Below is a brief look at the five most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win? In T20, both Team A and Team B are possible winners; in Test, a draw is also an option.
Toss Winner
This market closes before the match starts. There is no strategy involved in the outcome — it is an entirely even-odds market.
Top Batsman
Which batter in the match will score the most runs for their team? With multiple options within a team, the odds tend to be higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
Decide whether the combined runs of both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number, and place your bet accordingly.
Multi Bet
Several separate markets are combined into a single bet. All selections must win for the multi bet to succeed — higher risk, higher return.
Over of the First Wicket
A market on which over the first wicket will fall. This market is particularly popular in live betting.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — three ways to express the same price
The same probability can be expressed in three different ways. hi bajie generally uses decimal odds, though other formats may appear in various international markets.
Example: ৳500 bet on Team A to win, decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. If Team A wins, total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake). If Team A loses, ৳500 is gone.
Understanding favourite prices
When Team B is the favourite, the decimal odds are lower — for example 1.80. This is 4/5 in fractional and -125 in American.
A negative American odds figure tells you how much you need to bet to win ৳100 — -125 means a ৳125 bet wins ৳100 profit.
A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 in total if Team B wins (৳400 profit).
In-play betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
Live betting in cricket is a different experience. As the match progresses, odds update with every event — making sports betting more active.
Say Team A loses a key wicket midway through the innings. Team A's odds to win will rise immediately and Team B's will fall — because the balance in the market has changed. This creates an opportunity to place a new bet at that moment.
In the final 5 overs of a T20 when a large number of runs are needed, the under market odds shorten. Conversely, if a batter is scoring quickly, the over market odds become more attractive.
- In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly — knowing the market beforehand gives you an advantage.
- Odds fluctuate the most during the powerplay and death overs.
- In Test matches, pitch behaviour changes in the final hour of the day — this has an impact on live markets.
How a multi bet works by combining multiple selections
A multi bet links several separate markets together. All selections must win for the multi bet to succeed; if even one loses, the entire stake is gone.
Example: three bets on three different matches — decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80. Multiply them: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all three win. But if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
A multi bet is an option for those looking for more excitement — but the risk is much higher. New bettors should get comfortable with single markets first.

Back and Lay — understanding the betting exchange
On a standard sportsbook, you always bet against the bookmaker. On a betting exchange, you can bet directly against other bettors.
BACK means betting on a team to win. LAY means betting against that team winning.
Example: BACK Team A at decimal 2.00 with a ৳1,000 bet — if Team A wins you gain ৳1,000, if they lose you lose ৳1,000. LAY Team A, and if Team A does not win you gain ৳1,000 (before commission); if they do win, you pay out ৳1,000.
Exchange betting is better suited to experienced users — beginners should get comfortable with standard markets first. See all betting options at hi bajie Bet.
