babu f Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, every market in one place
babu f offers cricket fans in Bangladesh the chance to bet on BPL, IPL and international matches. From match winner to live in-play — all on one platform.
Cricket's three formats and popular competitions
Cricket is more than a sport in Bangladesh — it is a passion. When the Tigers play, everyone's eyes are glued to the screen with a cup of tea in hand. At babu f, you can bring that love into betting across three main formats.
T20 Cricket
The fastest and most action-packed format. In BPL and IPL, the match picture can change every over. T20 also has the widest range of betting markets — odds shift quickly in-play. Betting activity peaks during the T20 World Cup season.
ODI Cricket
The fifty-over format is a test of strategy and patience. In ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series ODI matches, markets like match winner, top batsman and total runs over/under are very popular.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, a draw is possible, so you can bet on three outcomes. Test betting moves at a slower pace, but there is more room to pick markets strategically in each session.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
After cricket, football draws the most interest in Bangladesh. Whether it is the English Premier League, La Liga or the World Cup, football talk fills tea stalls and local grounds across Dhaka and beyond. babu f football betting covers markets like match winner, correct score, goalscorer and first goal.
The key difference between betting on cricket and football comes down to the number of outcomes. In ODI and T20 cricket there are two outcomes (win/loss); in Test cricket there are three (including draw). Football typically also has three outcomes — home win, draw and away win. This is why cricket odds are often structured differently from football odds.
babu f also offers betting on table tennis, badminton, basketball and esports. Each sport has its own markets, leagues and bet types, so it is always a good idea to stick to the sports you know best.
Popular betting markets — where you can bet in cricket
Every cricket match offers several types of bets. Below are seven popular markets with a short example for each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win. If you pick Team B in a Team A vs Team B match, you win if Team B wins and lose your stake if they do not.
Toss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two outcomes, so odds for both sides are usually close.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs. Pick a batsman from Team A, and if that player ends the innings as the highest scorer, you win.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run total. You bet on whether the match total will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that number.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied — but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Example: bet on three BPL matches at the same time.
Innings Runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first innings. Pitch conditions and batting order are worth considering when analysing this market.
Betting Exchange
Bet directly against other bettors. Both options are available — BACK (bet on a team to win) or LAY (bet against a team winning). A commission is deducted.
How to read odds — three formats
Before betting at babu f, it helps to know how to read odds. Three formats are used around the world — decimal, fractional and American. They look different but mean the same thing.
Example 1 — the same price in three formats
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If the bet wins, total return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake).
If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — the favourite's price
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
(American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.)
A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Bettors in Bangladesh generally find the decimal format easiest — the number directly shows the total return. Fractional is the older British method, and American is mainly used in the US market.

Decimal odds are the easiest to calculate: stake × odds = total return.
Odds change with every wicket — in-play betting
Live in-play betting is the most engaging way to bet on cricket. You can place bets after the match has started, and odds update with every event on the field.
Say Team A is batting and loses three wickets in the first five overs. At that moment, Team A's odds to win will jump because their chances have dropped. Team B's odds will shorten in turn. Likewise, if Team A posts a big score in the powerplay, the odds will flip back quickly.
In-play betting on Test cricket is more complex — over five days, pitch conditions, weather and a turning surface can change the whole equation. In ODI and T20, the pace of a match shifts sharply in the death overs, so live odds move just as fast.
Live betting on babu f is also available on mobile. Log in to the babu f App and join live markets on any ongoing match.
When do live odds present an opportunity?
- When wickets fall quickly in the opening overs
- When a big partnership builds during the powerplay
- When a batter's form becomes clear in the death overs
- When the light fades at the end of a Test day
- When there is extra turn on a spin-friendly wicket
Things to keep in mind before betting
-
Start with one format
T20, ODI or Test — begin with the format you follow most closely. It is easier to make decisions in familiar territory. -
Be careful with multi bets
Combining three selections in a multi bet can push odds to 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52, and a ৳100 stake could return ৳452 — but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. -
Set a budget
Betting is a form of entertainment. Decide how much you are comfortable spending per match before you start, and stick to that limit. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to learn more. -
Stay patient in live betting
Odds move fast in-play. Rather than rushing into a decision, read the flow of the match before placing your bet. -
Know the rules
Understanding the terms upfront avoids confusion later. Reading the terms and conditions will make bonuses, withdrawals and betting market rules clear.
Betting on mobile
