bjoy7 Cricket Betting — odds and markets for every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Betting on Bangladesh's most loved sport is now easier. bjoy7 keeps markets open for every major tournament across T20, ODI, and Test formats — from match winner to live in-play.
T20, ODI and Test — betting differences across three formats
To bet on cricket, it helps to understand the format first, because the pace of play, range of outcomes, and types of bets differ across each one.
T20: The most popular and fastest format. Each team plays just 20 overs, so results can change suddenly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, and the ICC T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Live betting is most active in T20, because odds can flip within a single over.
ODI: In a 50-over match, teams play more strategically. During the middle overs, both run rate and wickets play an important role in betting. The ICC Cricket World Cup uses this format.
Test: Over five days, results swing the most. A draw is a valid outcome, so markets work differently than in T20 or ODI. The Tigers' Test series always draws strong interest from cricket fans across the country.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
Cricket is the biggest market at bjoy7, but football and several other sports are available too. Knowing how the betting experience differs across sports makes it easier to place bets.
Cricket
T20, ODI, Test — three formats; BPL and international series
Football
90-minute match; three possible outcomes — win, loss, or draw
Tennis
Set-by-set markets; no draw, a winner is decided directly
Badminton
Fast-paced sport; game-by-game live markets are popular
In cricket, a draw is only possible in Test matches; in T20 or ODI one team always wins. In football, any match can end in a draw, so odds are split across three outcomes. Innings breaks and toss betting in cricket do not exist in football — these are features specific to cricket that make its markets more varied.
Cricket's 7 popular markets
Cricket betting at bjoy7 goes beyond just picking a match winner — there are many markets from the toss all the way to runs in the final over. Below is a straightforward introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. The simplest market, a good starting point for beginners.
EasiestToss Winner
Which team wins the toss — this is a separate market with no connection to the match result. Odds are usually close, since the outcome is completely random.
Independent MarketTop Batsman
Pick which batsman in a specific team will score the most runs in the match. Because there are several batsmen in a team, the odds on each option are generally higher.
Higher Odds PossibleTotal Runs Over/Under
bjoy7 sets a specific run line (for example, total runs in a T20). You bet on whether the actual total will be above that line (over) or below it (under).
Only Two OptionsTop Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. Understanding the pitch conditions and a team's bowling strength makes this market more interesting.
Specialist MarketMulti Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. Example: match winners from three separate matches in one bet. All selections must be correct, otherwise the entire bet is lost.
Higher risk, higher potential returnRuns in a Specific Over
A market on how many runs will be scored during the powerplay (first 6 overs) or the death overs. In live betting, this market changes quickly.

How to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Most betting sites including bjoy7 show three types of odds formats. Players in Bangladesh are generally most comfortable with the decimal format.
| Format | Team A's odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 staked (profit of ৳2) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Profit of ৳2 for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | Profit of ৳200 on a ৳100 stake |
Say Team A's odds: decimal 3.00 = fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you bet ৳1,000 and Team A wins, you get back ৳3,000 in total (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000 stake); if Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Team B's odds: decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American −125 (a negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 in total (৳800 profit).
The team names and figures are examples only — they are not real odds or a promise of winnings.
Odds shift when wickets fall — how live in-play betting works
Live betting in cricket works differently from regular betting. At bjoy7 you can place bets even after a match has started, and odds keep changing with every event in the game.
Say the batting team scores 20 runs in the first over without losing a wicket — that team's odds of winning will shorten (because they are now considered the favourite). Conversely, if three wickets fall in quick succession, the opposing team's odds of winning will shorten.
A few moments when live odds move the most:
- When a top-order batsman's wicket falls
- When the run rate at the end of the powerplay is higher or lower than expected
- When the runs needed in the last 5 overs suddenly increase
- When a review is taken or an umpire's decision is reversed
- When play is interrupted due to rain or bad light
Decisions in live betting need to be made quickly, because odds can change within seconds. This type of betting therefore requires a bit more experience.
Using the bjoy7 mobile app makes it easy to access live markets. Logging in to the bjoy7 App lets you follow live scores and place bets from any device.
Betting on three matches at once — how a multi bet works
In a multi bet, combining several selections into one bet means the odds are multiplied together. Keep in mind — if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Selection 1 decimal odds: 1.40 | Selection 2 odds: 1.70 | Selection 3 odds: 1.90
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52 (approx)
On a ৳100 bet, if all three selections are correct you get back ৳452. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
The figures are examples only and are not a promise of actual odds.
A multi bet is mainly for entertainment — it should not be treated as a profitable strategy. Always treat betting as entertainment and set your own limits.
You can find details on setting your betting limits and safe betting habits on the bjoy7 Responsible Gaming page.
Multi Bet — quick summary
- Odds are multiplied (not added)
- More selections = higher potential return
- One wrong selection = all lost
- Two correlated bets from the same match cannot be combined
- For beginners, it is better not to go beyond 2–3 selections
Practical points for cricket betting
Betting is entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning. Keeping the following in mind will make the betting experience more disciplined.
Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each day or each week. Avoid betting beyond your budget in an attempt to quickly recover lost money.
Live betting and total runs markets work well in T20 matches. In Test matches, a draw is possible so odds need to be read differently. Bet on the format you understand best.
Placing several smaller bets can make the experience more enjoyable than a single large one. Keep in mind, though, that this is not a winning strategy — it is simply a way to keep things entertaining.
Odds change fast in live markets, which can create a sense of pressure. Avoid placing large bets in a hurry — a calm decision is always better.
Regular players who move up the tiers in the bjoy7 VIP programme receive weekly cashback. Example: a Gold member with a net loss of ৳20,000 in a week can receive up to ৳160 in cashback.
