Cricket's Three Formats and How They Differ for Betting
The first step in cricket betting is understanding the formats. T20, ODI and Test cricket each have a different style of play, so the markets differ too. Knowing what kinds of bets are common in each format makes betting much more straightforward.
Twenty20
- Only 20 overs, results come quickly
- BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
- Live markets are most active
- Six and wicket markets are popular
- High interest in the toss market
One-Day Match
- 50 overs, longer-term strategy
- ICC Championship and World Cup
- Top batsman market is popular
- Mid-innings betting opportunities
- Runs over/under market is active
Test Cricket
- A long five-day contest
- A draw is a valid result
- Innings runs and series markets
- Pitch and weather play a big role
- World Test Championship
Among Bangladeshi fans, BPL and the national team's international matches get the most attention. During Bangladesh Tigers matches, the number of bettors on h baj's live markets rises noticeably. IPL season also draws significant interest in matches involving Indian teams.
How Is Betting on Football and Other Sports Different?
The main difference between cricket betting and football betting is the possibility of a draw. A draw is a normal outcome in football, so the match winner market has three options — home win, away win, draw. In T20 or ODI cricket there are only two outcomes, so the market is simpler.
In football, goals over/under, both teams to score and correct score are the most popular markets. In cricket, their equivalents are run totals, wickets and partnership run markets. Betting on tennis, badminton or kabaddi is even more straightforward — it comes down to set or match winner.
For those interested only in cricket, h baj shows cricket-specific markets first. For casino game options, live table games and slots are available at h baj Casino.
Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
At h baj you can bet on multiple markets in a single cricket match. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used markets and how they work.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win. Two options in T20 and ODI, three in Test — Team A, Team B or Draw.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on the toss result before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent and available in any match.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the innings — within a team or across the whole match.
ODI and T20Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether total runs in an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number.
All FormatsMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet — if all are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
High RewardTop Bowler
Pick the bowler who will take the most wickets in the match. This market is more common on pace-friendly pitches.
Bowling FocusAn Example of a Multi Bet
Say you make three selections across three separate matches. The decimal odds are 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively.
In a multi bet these are multiplied together: 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳513 if all three selections are correct. However, if any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Team A and Team B are for illustration purposes only; this is not actual odds or a guarantee of winnings.
Learn to Read Odds — Three Formats
In online betting, odds are shown in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. h baj generally shows decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to use any platform.
The table below shows how all three formats express the same value for a bet on Team A to win (stake ৳500).
| Format | Value | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return = stake × 2.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
How do favourite odds work?
The team more likely to win has lower odds. If Team B is the favourite, their decimal odds will be below 2.50 — for example 1.80.
The decimal format is the easiest to calculate with. Higher decimal odds mean a higher potential return — but also a lower chance of winning.
In handicap or over/under markets, the outcome depends on interpretation rather than a simple number — whether a specific run line was crossed determines the win or loss.

Live In-Play Betting LIVE
Odds change continuously while a match is in progress. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise; when a partnership extends, the odds come down. At the end of the powerplay or into the death overs, odds are reset again.
During live betting on h baj, moment-specific markets are available such as runs in the next over, whether a wicket falls on the next ball, or the total runs in the final over. These change quickly, so keep the current score and match situation in mind before placing a bet.
Internet connection speed matters in live betting. Using the h baj app lets you see live score updates and place bets on the same screen.
Practical Reminders for Betting — Keep These in Mind
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Decide how much you will spend before each match. Sticking to that limit is the main way to keep betting as entertainment.
Get to Know One Market Well
In the beginning, stick to just the match winner or toss market. Trying to cover too many markets at once is best avoided.
Choose Your Bet According to the Format
The toss market is more common in T20, the top batsman market in ODI, and the series winner in Test — pick markets that suit the format.
Do Not Chase Losses
After losing a bet, it is best not to immediately place a bigger bet to try to recover. Read the Responsible Gaming page to learn more about responsible betting.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
In-play markets move fast, but take a moment to check the score and match situation before each decision.
Quick Reminders
- Betting is for entertainment, not a source of income
- Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk
- Higher odds mean a higher return — and a lower chance of winning
- Odds change quickly in live betting
- Confirm you are 21 or above
