babu australia Cricket Betting — Top Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
Bet on all the major tournaments in Bangladesh's most popular sport — from match winner to live over-by-over markets, all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Which One to Bet On?
Before betting on cricket, it helps to understand the formats, because each one plays differently and the available markets change accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format — results come within a few hours in a 20-over match. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format, and they have the most active betting markets.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is played over 50 overs. ICC events such as the World Cup and Champions Trophy use this format. Because matches are longer, pitch behaviour and middle-over team strategy play a bigger role in betting.
Test cricket is played over up to five days. Weather, pitch conditions and the pattern of wicket falls can shift betting markets frequently. Since a draw is possible, Test matches have three potential outcomes — unlike T20 and ODI, which only offer win or loss.
BPL is the most popular domestic league among Bangladeshi fans. IPL and international T20 and ODI series also draw strong interest throughout the year. All of these tournaments are available in the betting markets at babu australia.
Betting on Other Sports Beyond Cricket
Alongside cricket, babu australia also offers betting on other sports. Football betting includes goal line, match winner and handicap markets across major tournaments like the Premier League and La Liga. Since a draw is a valid result in football, the odds structure differs from T20 cricket.
There are also sports-inspired fast-paced games like Crash Goal, where each round lasts only a few seconds. The main difference between cricket betting and these games is that cricket odds shift based on real match events, while crash-type games produce results independently each round.
A cricket match can run from a few hours to several days, which allows more room for planning. Football runs 90 minutes, T20 runs 3–4 hours — the betting experience is different in each.
- T20 — 20 overs, quick result, most live markets
- ODI — 50 overs, wider range of markets, longer action
- Test — 5 days, pitch and weather dependent, draw possible
- Football — 90 minutes, 3 outcomes (win/draw/loss)
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
Each cricket betting market works differently. Below are seven popular markets explained simply.
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. Example: if the odds for Team A to win are 2.10, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,100 if they win.
SimplestA bet on which team wins the toss at the start of the match. The toss result is unrelated to the match result — they are two separate markets. Odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Short-EventA bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a given team's innings. Because there are multiple options within the team, odds are generally higher.
Player MarketA bet on whether the total runs in a full innings or a set number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a specified number. Example: will runs in the first 10 overs exceed 80.
Runs-BasedA bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Pitch behaviour and the opposing team's batting lineup both influence this market.
Player MarketYou can combine several matches or events into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Higher ReturnA bet on which player will be named Man of the Match at the end of the game. Because there are many options, odds can be quite high. This is generally a higher-risk market.
Special MarketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats Made Simple
Betting sites typically display odds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American (Moneyline). All three express the same information in different ways.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 stake returns ৳250 if it wins (৳50 profit).
Decimal format is the simplest — multiply the full stake by the odds to get the total return. In fractional odds, the numerator is profit and the denominator is the stake. In American format, a plus (+) shows profit on a ৳100 stake; a minus (-) shows how much to stake to profit ৳100.
In cricket, the favourite has lower odds (smaller return but higher chance of winning), while the underdog has higher odds (bigger return but harder to win). Betting is for entertainment — regardless of the odds or selection, every bet can go either way.
Choosing decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 across three matches gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, you lose ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting — Place Bets While the Match Is On
Live betting means placing bets in real time while a match is in progress. In cricket, odds shift immediately after each wicket, the end of a powerplay or a bowler's maiden over.
For example, if one team is scoring quickly in the middle of an innings while the opposing team has lost two wickets, the odds for the chasing team to win may shorten. That kind of movement is what sets live betting apart.
In T20, markets update after every over. You can place in-play bets on markets like how many runs will be scored in the next over, who will take the next wicket, or whether a team can reach the target at the current run rate.
In a Test match, the chance of a draw can rise or fall depending on wickets in the fifth-day session, and live markets reflect that. In-play betting requires faster decisions than pre-match betting.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — treat it as extra fun alongside watching the game, not as a way to make money. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience better.
- Stick to a budget. Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend and stay within that limit. Chasing losses by increasing your stakes is risky.
- Focus on one market. Instead of betting on every market at once, start by getting comfortable with one or two — such as match winner or total runs.
- Know the pitch and weather conditions. Bowlers tend to have an advantage on dry or damp pitches, while batting-friendly pitches produce higher scores — this has a real effect on markets.
- Be careful with multi bets. Returns are higher with multi bets, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Starting with a two-selection multi is a reasonable way to begin.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. In-play markets move fast, but that does not mean you need to bet on every change. Stay patient and stick to markets you understand.
- Play responsibly. If betting starts to feel like a burden, take a break. The responsible gaming page has information on setting limits and self-exclusion.
Multi Bet Details
Choosing decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 across three matches gives combined odds of approximately 3.99.
A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three are correct. If any one of Team A, Team B or Team C loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Team A / Team B labels are for illustration only — they do not refer to real matches or players.
