Cricket Betting at hibajee — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
From T20 to Test — match winner, toss, top batsman and live betting markets across all formats. How cricket betting works at hibajee, explained in plain language.
Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Any discussion of cricket betting starts with the three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and character, so the betting markets are structured differently as well.
T20: The fastest format — a match is done in just 20 overs. BPL and the T20 World Cup are the most followed among cricket fans in Bangladesh. A single over or one wicket can shift the course of a T20 match, which means there are more opportunities in live betting.
ODI: The 50-over format combines strategy with patience. ODI matches in ICC tournaments and bilateral series are quite popular in the betting market.
Test: In five-day cricket, a draw is a valid result, so the odds cover three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Session-based markets are also available in Test betting.
IPL is one of the biggest T20 leagues in the world. With Bangladeshi players taking part, interest in IPL matches among local fans is always high. hibajee offers markets across matches in all these competitions.
Football and Other Sports — What Is the Difference?
Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular at hibajee. The key difference between the two sports lies in the structure of the match. In football there are generally three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. T20 and ODI cricket formats have no draw, so you pick directly between the two teams.
Football has a fixed duration (90 minutes), so extra time markets are separate. In cricket, the number of overs and wickets determines the type of market. Tennis and badminton have set- and game-based markets.
For better-informed betting decisions, read the Betting Tips Guide — it goes into more detail on which markets suit which formats.
In all cases the key point is the same — betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Set your own budget and play responsibly. Reading the Responsible Gaming guidelines is always a good habit.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match — the simplest and most familiar market. Example: Team A vs Team B — you choose Team B; if Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Straightforward MarketToss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is independent of the match result — the team that wins the toss may not win the match.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs in a team — this market has separate bets for each team. Example: which batter in Team A will score the highest runs.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Choosing whether the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: over or under 160 in Team A's first innings.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet — you win only if all selections are correct. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Higher potential return, but higher risk too.
Multiple MatchesFirst Wicket to Fall
Which over or at what score the first wicket will fall — this special market is quite popular in T20 matches. You bet on what happens right at the start of the match.
Specials MarketHow Odds Are Written in Three Formats
Odds are written in three different ways across betting sites — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A Win (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return including stake — a ৳200 bet returns ৳600 in total |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 — a ৳200 bet gives ৳400 profit |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on ৳100 — a ৳200 bet returns ৳600 in total |
Example 1 — Betting on the Underdog
Team A to win, ৳200 bet; decimal odds 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. If Team A wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Betting on the Favourite
Team B to win; decimal odds 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
Multi Bet Example
Instead of betting on three matches separately, combining them into one multi bet multiplies the odds:
Three selections: decimal 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = combined odds 4.03 (approximately). If all three selections are correct on a ৳100 bet, the return is ৳403. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
A multi bet increases the potential return, but the risk rises at the same rate.
ODI Cricket Match Example
There is no draw in a limited-overs match. Team A odds 1.65, Team B odds 2.30. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,150 if Team B wins (৳650 profit); if Team A wins, you lose ৳500. The teams and numbers are for illustration only — they are not real odds or a guarantee of any outcome.
Live In-Play Betting — Bets While the Match Is On
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets even after a match has started. Odds shift with every wicket taken or boundary hit.
For example — if Team A makes a strong start in the first innings, their odds to win shorten (as they become the favourite) and Team B's odds lengthen. If wickets fall quickly during a powerplay in the middle of the match, the picture can reverse again.
In T20 matches, odds are reset after every over. What matters in live betting is how quickly you read those changes.
- Watch how the match is going before placing a bet — do not rush
- Keep track of the over rate and wickets
- Never go beyond your budget
- Live odds change fast — make decisions carefully
What Markets Are Available in Live Betting
These markets are typically active during a live match:
- At what score the next wicket will fall
- How many runs will be scored in the current over
- Total innings runs (updated)
- Match winner (updated odds)
- Whether a wicket will fall off the next ball
Remember, betting is for entertainment. The excitement of live betting should not lead you to spend beyond your set budget. Read more about responsible betting on our Responsible Gaming page.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
The most important thing to keep in mind is that there is no method that guarantees profit in betting. That said, a disciplined approach makes for a better betting experience.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will spend each week or month. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Understand the format: The odds, markets and pace of T20 and Test matches are different from each other. Bet on the format you know well.
- Focus on one market: Start with straightforward markets like match winner or over/under. Move to other markets once you have some experience.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns, but all selections must be correct. If even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
- Treat it as entertainment: Betting is not a reliable way to earn money. Betting out of fear of losing creates unnecessary stress.
- Use hibajee support: For any question or issue, get help 24/7 in Bengali via live chat or email.
