badshah Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — place bets across multiple markets at every point of a match on badshah's betting platform. Live in-play odds, easy payments and support in Bengali.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different experience from a betting perspective. T20 matches finish fastest, so odds shift every over and live betting is at its most active. In ODI cricket, the middle and late stages of a team's innings play an important role across the longer 50-over span. In Test cricket, markets become much more varied over five days as wickets, pitch conditions and weather all come into play.
The tournaments most familiar to Bangladeshi fans are the BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC events. The same excitement felt at Dhaka's ground during the BPL can be felt in badshah's in-play markets. When the Tigers take the field in an international series, betting volume on match winner and top batsman markets naturally goes up.
Football and other sports betting will be covered shortly — but first, let's look at the popular cricket markets.
7 Popular Betting Markets
Several markets are available for cricket betting at badshah. The most commonly used ones are briefly explained below — each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win before the match starts. Just pick one of Team A or Team B. Since T20 and ODI matches have no draw, you only choose between two options.
Toss Winner
This bet is on which team wins the toss before the match starts. It is not directly connected to the match result, so many see it as a separate bit of fun.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for a particular team? The odds for this market move quickly once the innings gets under way.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs at the end of a specific over or across a full innings be above or below a set number? This market asks you to pick one of those two options.
Multi Bet
Adding results from more than one match to the same betting slip makes a multi bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Runs in the First 6 Overs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the powerplay. How quickly the batsmen are scoring off the new ball determines the odds in the live market.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? In T20, death-over bowlers have a particular influence on this market.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, badshah also offers markets for football and other sports. In football a draw is a possible result, so you generally bet on one of three outcomes — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins — which is different from cricket's straightforward two-option setup. Goal scorer, half-time score and over/under markets are also popular in football.
Interest in football betting in Bangladesh rises during European leagues and the World Cup. Markets are also available for other sports like tennis and badminton, though the rules differ for each — it is worth understanding the market structure of a sport before betting on it.
If you want a different kind of entertainment at badshah, fishing games are worth a look — it is a completely different experience.
A Simple Guide to Reading Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. You will find all three in badshah's betting interface. See the examples below:
Example 1 — Three ways to show the same price
Say Team A wins, bet ৳500:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 |
| American | +125 |
If Team A wins, the return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake back). If Team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on the favourite
Team B is the favourite, bet ৳500:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 1/4 |
| American | -400 |
American minus odds tell you how much you need to stake to make a ৳100 profit. Here, a ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match is On
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every over, every wicket and every boundary changes the odds in real time.
Say Team A is batting and two quick wickets fall within 10 overs — at that moment Team A's match winner odds lengthen, because the market is pricing in a lower chance of them winning. If Team B posts a strong score by the end of the powerplay, their odds shorten.
If overs are reduced due to rain or the Duckworth-Lewis method comes into effect, the odds are recalculated. These changes are visible in real time in badshah's live betting.
One important aspect of in-play betting is that you have very little time to decide. So set your budget before placing any bet and keep a clear head while you play.
