pojk Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to International Matches
pojk offers detailed betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh — from match winner and toss to live in-play. Find odds, markets and strategy all in one place.
Formats and Tournaments
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the formats — because each format plays differently, and odds work differently as a result.
Twenty20
Each team plays just 20 overs. This fast-paced format produces high scores and intense matches. BPL, IPL, and T20 World Cup all use this format. It offers the most betting markets of any format.
One Day International
A 50-over match that requires both strategy and patience. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format. It starts slower than T20, so in-play odds keep changing over a longer period.
Test Cricket
A five-day long format — the true test of cricket. A draw is possible here, so markets carry three outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Odds shift more here than in other formats.
Favourite Tournaments Among Bangladeshis
The BPL always holds a special place for Bangladeshi fans — home soil, familiar faces, packed stands. When a match is played at a Dhaka stadium, the whole country pays attention. IPL is also popular here — as the top franchise league in the subcontinent, it has a firm place in fans' minds. The T20 World Cup and ICC international series bring big excitement season after season.
At pojk, you can bet across multiple markets in all these tournaments. When betting on Bangladesh Tigers matches, choosing the right market is the most important decision.
Sportsbook
Football and Other Sports — Alongside Cricket
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at pojk. The biggest difference with football is that cricket usually has two outcomes (no draw in T20/ODI), while football has three possible results: home team wins, away team wins, or draw. Because of these three outcomes, football odds are structured somewhat differently.
Handicap betting is very popular in football — when there is a big gap between two teams, the weaker side is given a goal advantage in advance. The equivalent in cricket is a run handicap. In other sports like tennis, badminton, or kabaddi, the market structure is simpler — usually just a match winner market.
For those who want to bet on multiple sports at the same time, detailed strategy and examples are available on the multi-bet page.
Betting Markets
Popular Cricket Markets at pojk
Each market answers a specific question — and bets are placed on that question before the match.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A odds 1.45, Team B odds 2.75. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,375 if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on who wins the toss before the match begins. The outcome is entirely separate from the match result. Odds for both sides are usually roughly equal.
Top Run Scorer
Who will score the most runs for a team — this market has multiple options. Odds are higher because picking the right person is difficult.
Total Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in the match be more (Over) or fewer (Under) than a set number — you don't need to know which team is stronger to bet on this market.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? Pitch conditions and weather matter here. Results can change easily, so odds are higher.
Powerplay Runs
How many total runs will be scored in the first few overs of a T20 or ODI — this market gives quick results. You can see the outcome without waiting for the whole match.
Multi Bet — Several Markets Combined
The markets above can be placed individually or combined as a multi bet. In a multi bet with three selections — say odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳408 if all three selections win, but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. Detailed multi bet rules are available on a separate page.
How to Read Odds
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Formats
The same odds can be written in three formats — they look different but mean the same thing. The two examples below make it easy to understand.
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳1,000
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 |
| American | +150 |
The same odds in three formats — if Team A wins, you get back ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, bet ৳1,000
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 1/2 |
| American | -200 |
Team B is the favourite — lower odds. If Team B wins, you get back ৳1,500 (৳500 profit). American "-200" means you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
Decimal format is the easiest — the total return is shown directly. Most bettors in Bangladesh prefer this format. Fractional is mainly a British tradition, and in American format "+" means underdog and "−" means favourite.
Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs — In-Play Betting
Live in-play betting means placing bets while the match is ongoing — and this is where cricket betting truly comes alive. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning shift instantly, while the bowling team's odds drop. If Team A needs 50 runs in the last five overs with 6 wickets in hand, the odds look one way — but if two more wickets fall on the very next ball, the odds can flip completely.
In-play betting is sharpest in T20 — markets shift every over. In ODI, changes come more gradually, but a key wicket mid-innings can redraw the picture entirely. In Test, odds move up and down over five days — the possibility of a draw is always there.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. For those who prefer betting on mobile, the pojk app can be downloaded through the official channel.
Betting Tips
Some Useful Tips for Beginners
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guaranteed way to win. The tips below will help you play responsibly.
- Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session and stay within that limit. Do not place large bets trying to recover losses.
- Start with one market — match winner is the simplest. Rather than betting on many markets at once, pick one or two.
- Before a match, get an idea of pitch conditions, weather, and each team's recent form — these factors influence the odds.
- Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Losses are normal — don't make decisions out of frustration.
- Play responsibly. If needed, check the guidelines on the responsible gaming page and set limits for yourself.
- Betting is not for those under 21. Age is verified when opening an account.
