vipbajee Cricket Betting — Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
vipbajee offers cricket fans in Bangladesh a wide range of markets for T20, ODI and Test matches. From BPL and IPL to international series — live odds update every moment and every market is clearly laid out.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — from a betting perspective
Understanding cricket betting starts with the format. In a T20 match, results are decided in just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and every ball matters. Tournaments like BPL and IPL use the T20 format — it is the most popular among fans in Bangladesh. Because the pace is high, live betting changes happen fast.
ODI, or one-day cricket, has 50 overs. Here, a batsman's average, pitch conditions and weather have a bigger influence on odds. Compared to T20, outcomes in ODI move somewhat more slowly — so specific markets like top run-scorer or runs in a particular over are more common here.
Test cricket is a five-day game. A draw is a valid result, so the markets are different — the match winner market has three options: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Innings-based markets (highest first-innings score, leading wicket-taker) are more common in Tests.
The T20 World Cup, ICC Championships and bilateral series are available on vipbajee throughout the year. From Bangladesh Tigers matches to IPL finals — all major tournament markets are in one place.
Football and Other Sports Betting
vipbajee offers football betting alongside cricket. In football, the match winner market has three options (win, loss, draw) — unlike T20 cricket which usually has two. Goals, handicap and corner markets are features unique to football. Cricket, on the other hand, has wicket, run and over-based markets that football does not.
You can also bet on other sports like Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis. Each sport has its own market structure — so betting on a sport you know well is more enjoyable. Those interested in casino games can check out vipbajee Casino's live table games.
Popular Cricket Markets and How They Work
Each market works differently. Below are seven common markets explained in plain language.
Match Winner
This market is about which team will win the match between Team A and Team B. T20 and ODI have two options; Tests have three (win, loss, draw). Example: if you bet on Team B to win — your bet is successful if Team B wins.
Most CommonToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss matters in cricket because teams can choose to bat or bowl based on pitch conditions. Toss market odds are usually roughly equal for both teams.
Pre-Match MarketTop Batsman
The market for which player will score the most runs for a team. Available separately for each team or combined. Example: who will score the most runs for Team A — pick the player you think will score highest.
Player-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: will both teams' combined runs exceed 320 — this depends on pitch and weather conditions.
Run-BasedMulti-Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining bets from multiple matches or events. For example, three bets at 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 give combined odds of 5.17 — a ৳100 stake returns ৳517 if all matches win, but the entire stake is lost if any one of them loses.
High Return PotentialTop Wicket-Taker
The market for which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or across the full match. Pace or spin pitch conditions influence this market. You can choose any bowler from either Team A or Team B.
Bowler-BasedMan of the Match
Special MarketBet on who will be the best performer of the match. It can be a batsman or a bowler. Odds tend to be higher in this market because there are many possible candidates. Example: if a batsman from Team A wins Man of the Match, your bet wins — this market keeps you engaged right to the end of the match.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
The same odds are written in three different ways. Once you understand the difference, betting in any format becomes straightforward.
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳200 stake)
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake); if you lose, ৳200 is gone. |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked — a ৳200 stake gives ৳300 profit. |
| American | +150 | Plus means underdog — ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake. |
Example 2 — Team B wins (favourite, ৳200 stake)
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Total return ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 original stake). |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked — Team B is the favourite. |
| American | -200 | Minus means favourite — you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. |
These numbers are for illustration only — all team names are "Team A" and "Team B". Actual match odds will be different.
Which format is easiest?
The decimal format is most common on betting sites in Bangladesh. Decimal odds × stake amount = total return — the calculation is simple.
Fractional format comes from British tradition; American format is used in the US market. On vipbajee you can choose your preferred format.
Keep in mind: the higher the odds, the less likely the bookmaker considers that outcome — but the return is also higher if you win.
Odds Change with Wickets and Overs — In-Play Betting
In-play or live betting in cricket means placing bets while the match is in progress. Odds change instantly with every wicket that falls, every boundary hit, or when few runs come in the powerplay. This makes cricket betting more dynamic.
For example: Team A wins the toss and starts batting, but loses three wickets in the first two overs — Team A's odds of winning will lengthen because the situation has become difficult. At the same time, Team B's odds of winning will shorten.
Live betting is fastest in T20 — 30 runs needed off the last 2 overs with the final wicket at the crease — odds shift a great deal at moments like this. To learn more about live betting on vipbajee, see the vipbajee Bet platform betting guide.
Decisions in in-play betting must be made quickly. Markets sometimes close briefly (right after a wicket falls or during a DRS review), then reopen with updated odds.
A Few Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. These tips help you bet more thoughtfully.
Understand the format before you choose
T20, ODI and Test each have a different pace. The format you know better is the one where you will understand the markets more clearly.
Learn one market well first
Start with match winner — it is simple and straightforward. Then gradually move to over/under or player-based markets.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much money you will put into betting. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
Be careful with multi-bets
Multi-bets offer higher returns but also higher risk — one loss and you lose everything. Starting out, it is better not to add more than two selections.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in in-play betting. Rather than placing a bet quickly out of excitement, observe the situation for a moment.
Keep responsible gaming in mind
Betting more to recover lost money only increases losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and take a break when needed.
