babu gp Cricket Betting — bet across all markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
babu gp offers detailed betting markets on BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and Test matches for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Whether before the match or during it, both options are open.
Cricket formats and tournaments — where the betting is most active
From T20 to Test, the style of betting differs across each format. Knowing which market works best for which match makes the experience more enjoyable.
T20 — fast results, more markets
T20 cricket is the most popular format for betting. Matches finish in just 20 overs, so the pace shifts quickly and live markets stay active. BPL is the most talked-about T20 tournament among Bangladeshi fans — supporters of teams from Dhaka to Chattogram place bets here. IPL features Indian teams, yet Bangladeshi bettors follow it closely too. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup generate the most interest of all.
ODI and Test — bets that require patience
In an ODI match, five wickets falling can completely change the picture, and the market responds immediately. In Test cricket, weather, pitch and batting lineup combine over five days to make betting more complex — which is why the series match winner and first innings lead markets are used more often.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
At babu gp you can bet on many sports beyond cricket.
Alongside cricket, there is a separate, dedicated section for those interested in football betting. Cricket betting is mainly centred on wickets and innings, while football focuses on goals, corners and handicap markets. The odds structures and market formats differ between the two, so the same approach does not work equally well for both.
For those who want a different betting experience, there is also the option of virtual sports betting — where you can bet on computer-generated matches at any time of day or night. You can find the detailed football betting guide on the football betting page.
Cricket's 7 popular markets — how they work
Each market has its own character. Here is a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
Who will win — Team A or Team B? The simplest market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two options. Example: if Team B's odds are 2.75, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,375 if they win.
Simple marketToss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome is outside the game itself — on subcontinental pitches, winning the toss often matters. Example: odds for both sides are usually close to each other.
Quick resultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman scores the most runs in a specific innings. Pitch conditions, batting position and recent form all matter. You can bet on more than one batsman from the same team.
Analytical marketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bet is whether the total runs in a full innings or a specific number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a set figure. When wickets fall the run rate slows, making the under market more attractive.
Statistics-basedTop Bowler
Which bowler takes the most wickets — spinner, pacer or all-rounder? The nature of the pitch plays a big role here. Spinners tend to have an advantage on home grounds.
Bowling marketMulti Bet
Multiple match bets are combined together. If all bets win, the odds are multiplied — example: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳381. But if one bet loses, the entire stake is gone.
High riskSeries Winner
A bet on who wins an entire series. Odds are better at the start of a series and change based on match results. This is suited to long-term bets.
Long-termHow to read odds — three formats
Decimal, fractional and American — odds can be written in all three formats, but they all express the same outcome.
Decimal odds are the most commonly used in cricket betting. The number you see gives the total return — including the stake. See the example below:
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return on a ৳500 bet is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked — same outcome |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet — same outcome; if you lose, ৳500 is gone |
Now look at an example for a favourite: Team B's odds are 1.25 in decimal, 1/4 in fractional and -400 in American. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win 100 units. Here a ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳625 if it wins (৳125 profit).
The American format is mainly seen on international sites; decimal format is more common at babu gp. Keep in mind — these numbers are examples only; live odds always change based on the market.
Key points about odds
- Decimal odds = total return ÷ stake
- Fractional = profit ÷ stake
- American + = profit on 100
- American − = stake needed to win 100
- All three formats express the same event
- Odds changing means market opinion is changing
Live betting — odds shift over by over and wicket by wicket
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly useful because the situation can change from one moment to the next.
During the powerplay overs
If the batting team scores quickly, their odds in the match winner market shorten. If the fielding team gets a chance to take wickets, the odds can level out again.
When a wicket falls
When a key batsman is dismissed, the odds on the total runs under market drop quickly. Live markets are most active at these moments.
In the final five overs
In the death overs, when the batting team is chasing a target, odds change after every ball. Both the match winner and total runs markets continue running.
At the end of each day in Test matches
In Test cricket, markets for the next day open fresh based on the pitch report and score at close of play. The series winner market runs throughout the entire series.
Some useful tips for betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping that in mind makes the experience better. The tips below help keep things that way.
Pick one format
Betting strategy for T20 and Test cricket is different. Start by focusing on one format.
Check the markets before the match
The toss, weather and pitch conditions can influence many markets even before the match starts.
Set a budget
Decide how much you will bet on each match before it starts. Do not go beyond that limit.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets do offer bigger odds, but if one bet loses the entire stake is gone. Start with fewer selections.
Stay focused during live betting
Odds in in-play markets change fast. Take time to understand the flow of the match before making a decision.
Bet responsibly
Betting is a form of entertainment. Reading the responsible gaming guide can help you build healthy habits.

In traditional betting you bet against the site. In a betting exchange you bet against other bettors — there are two roles: BACK (if you think a team will win) and LAY (if you think they will not win).
Example: BACK Team A at decimal 1.80 with ৳500 — if Team A wins you make ৳400 profit before commission; if they do not win you lose ৳500. LAY means your liability on ৳500 is ৳400 (৳500 × 0.80) — if Team A does not win you receive ৳500; if they do win you pay ৳400.
