Cricket betting at x paji — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
x paji is ready for every Bangladesh, India and international cricket match with a variety of markets, live odds and easy payment options.
T20, ODI and Test — how betting differs across the three formats
The real interest in cricket betting is that each of the three formats requires a different mindset, and that difference is genuine when it comes to placing bets. In T20 matches, runs come quickly and a wicket can change the situation in an instant — so live betting is most active in this format. Most BPL and IPL matches are played in T20 format, and these two tournaments are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
In ODI cricket, the 50-over structure makes team strategies clearer — run rate through the middle overs, partnerships and bowling changes shape the betting markets. ODI markets are at their most varied in ICC tournaments and bilateral series.
In Test cricket, results can be decided in the final hour of the fifth day. A draw is possible, so there are three outcomes in the market — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw. The T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Bangladesh Tigers series always get special attention at x paji.
How betting differs in football and other sports
In football, alongside the three main outcomes — win, loss and draw — there are markets for goalscorers, over/under goals and both teams to score. In cricket, a draw is only possible in Test format; in T20 and ODI one team must win, which makes the betting market simpler.
Tennis, badminton and volleyball have set-based markets where a player's current form matters greatly. Kabaddi and hockey betting mainly covers local tournaments. At x paji, you can bet on everything from cricket to football with a single account.

Which markets are most popular in cricket betting
Each market works differently. Below is a simple explanation of seven popular cricket betting markets available at x paji.
Match Winner
The simplest market — who will win a T20 or ODI match. Pick Team A or Team B. If your chosen team wins, your bet is successful.
T20 and ODIToss Winner
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. It has no connection to the match result — it is purely the coin toss.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team in an innings or the full match. There is a separate market for each team.
Player PropsTotal Runs Over/Under
Say the total runs line for a T20 match is 320.5. If you think both teams combined will score more than 320, bet Over. If less, bet Under.
T20ODIFirst Over Runs
Whether the runs scored in the first over of the match will be above or below a set number. Results come quickly.
Live or Pre-MatchMulti Bet (Parlay)
Combine the results of several matches — add three matches to one bet and the odds multiply, increasing the potential return. But if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple BetsSeries Winner
A bet on which team will win more matches across an entire series. This market stays open from before the series starts until it ends.
OutrightDecimal, fractional and American — read odds in three formats
Odds show the potential return on a bet. At x paji, odds can be viewed in three formats. The table below compares them with two real examples.
The same match odds are shown in three formats — decimal gives the most direct view of the return.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Example 1 (Team A): With a ৳500 bet — if Team A wins you get back ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + original ৳500 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B favourite): Odds of 1.80 for Team B means a ৳500 bet returns ৳900 (৳400 profit). In American format, −125 means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100.
Decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the odds by your stake to get the total return. Fractional and American formats are more common in British and American markets.
Multi Bet Calculation
Three selections — odds 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80. If bet together:
Combined Odds (approximate)
A ৳100 bet returns ৳378 if all three win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Odds change after every wicket and over in a live match — at x paji these changes are reflected instantly.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In pre-match betting, odds are set in advance; in in-play, odds update after every ball and every wicket.
In T20, if 3 wickets fall in the powerplay, that team's odds of winning increase (because their chances have dropped) and the opposition's odds shorten. Conversely, if a batter scores 30 runs in 2 overs, their team's chances of winning improve and the odds shorten.
Live betting requires quick decisions. The x paji mobile app shows live scores and odds together, making it easier to bet in step with the action on the field.
In in-play betting, consider the run rate, remaining overs and wicket situation together at the end of each over — bet based on how the game is flowing, not just the scoreline.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind makes for a more informed experience.
The same team's chances of winning can differ between T20 and Test — because playing style, pitch conditions and team strengths each play a different role in every format.
Only bet an amount you are comfortable losing on any one match. Avoid the urge to place larger bets to recover losses.
If you combine three selections, one wrong pick loses the whole bet. A single bet at slightly lower odds is often the safer choice.
In Test cricket, five days of changing weather can have a big impact on betting markets. In ODIs, evening dew helps pace bowlers, especially in day-night matches.
From match winner to top batsman, each market is different. Rather than covering all of them at once, focus on one.
Avoid betting continuously without a break. You will find a detailed responsible gaming guide at x paji.
