Live odds, multiple betting markets, and easy deposits on Bangladesh's most popular sport — all in one place at badshah.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — how is betting different in each format?
badshah gives cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet across three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The three formats differ quite a bit in how the game is played and how betting strategy works, so having a clear understanding of each makes the experience better.
T20: The fastest and most action-packed format. In just 20 overs the situation can change rapidly, so odds move a lot. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format. Live betting opportunities are greatest here.
ODI: A 50-over match where the game is more balanced. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Bangladesh Tigers play many of their big matches in this format, so it draws a large audience.
Test: The long five-day format. Batting depth and bowling consistency matter most here. A draw is a possible result, so the betting market is three-way.
T20 World Cup, Bangladesh ODI series against any major team, and BPL — these three competitions generate the most betting turnover on badshah.
BPL
Bangladesh's domestic T20 league, where local and overseas stars play together. Odds are very competitive for every BPL match.
T20IPL
India's T20 league, but it has hundreds of millions of fans in Bangladesh. IPL matches offer the widest variety of betting markets.
T20T20 World Cup
The ICC's biggest T20 event. Betting interest is at its peak for every Tigers match, and live odds shift with every over.
InternationalODI and Test Series
In bilateral series, overall team strength has a bigger influence. Test matches also carry a draw market, which does not exist in T20.
InternationalFootball and Other Sports
What other sports can you bet on at badshah besides cricket?
Alongside cricket, badshah also offers football betting. Bettors interested in the World Cup, Premier League or Champions League matches can find several markets including match winner, goal totals and handicap.
The difference in betting strategy between cricket and football is quite clear. In cricket there are separate markets for each phase of an innings — powerplay, middle overs, death overs. A wicket or a big shot continuously shifts the odds. In football, a single goal is enough to change everything even if the rhythm of play has barely changed.
Those interested in casino games will find a large collection of live casino and slot games at badshah Casino. Sports betting and casino — both under one account.
Popular Betting Markets
What can you bet on in a cricket match?
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the simplest market. In T20 one of the two teams wins; in Test a draw is also possible. Team A or Team B — place your bet on whichever odds look more attractive.
Toss
You can bet on the toss result before the match begins. This is a purely chance-based market — odds for both teams are generally almost equal.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs within a specific team — this market is more enjoyable if you know the team's batting lineup.
Total Runs — Over/Under
This market is about whether the match will finish above or below a set run total. Depending on wickets and conditions, the odds here can sometimes be very attractive.
Multi Bet
Combine predictions from multiple matches into one bet — more predictions mean a higher potential return, but all of them must be correct to win. Detailed odds examples are given in the 'How to Read Odds' section below.
First Wicket and Powerplay Runs
At how many runs will the first wicket fall, or how many runs will be scored in the powerplay — odds on these specific markets are generally higher because they are harder to predict.

How to Read Odds
Three odds formats and what they mean
Odds on badshah may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three mean the same thing; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A win odds | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 bet (profit ৳2 + original stake ৳1) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Profit of ৳2 for every ৳1 bet — add the original stake to get a total of ৳3 |
| American | +200 | Plus sign means underdog — ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
The favourite has lower odds, the underdog has higher odds. Say Team B is the favourite: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400. American minus here means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
In a multi bet the odds of each selection are multiplied together. If three selections have odds of 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80, the combined odds are approximately 4.28 — potential return on a ৳100 bet is ৳428, but all three must be correct.
The numbers above are examples only — actual odds change from match to match. The numbers show how the same value is written across the three formats.
Live Betting — While the Match is On
When wickets and overs shift the odds
Live betting in cricket moves the fastest. After every wicket, every big six or dot ball, the odds change immediately. If a strong batting team loses two wickets in the powerplay, their odds of winning will drop quickly — and the opposition's odds will rise.
Odds move the most in the death overs (last 4–5 overs). The required run rate, wickets in hand and the batting form on display all combine to determine live odds.
You have less time to decide in live betting, so set a limit beforehand — how much you will bet and when you will stop. Betting is for entertainment, not pressure. For more details, read our FAQ.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Useful points for new and experienced bettors alike
Start with one market
Focus on the match winner market first. Placing bets across many markets at once splits your attention.
Set your budget in advance
Set aside a fixed amount for each match. Whether you win or lose — staying within that limit is the most important habit.
Understand the format before placing a bet
The same team can perform differently in T20 and Test. Keep the format in mind before betting.
Do not rush in live betting
The temptation to decide instantly is high because odds change fast. Waiting for the situation to settle slightly before deciding is the wiser approach.
Extra care with multi bets
Potential returns are higher with multi bets, but one wrong prediction loses the whole bet. It is better not to go beyond 2–3 selections.
Play conveniently from the badshah App
