Sports Betting at ex baji — Complete Guide to Best Odds and Live Betting
From cricket to football, T20 to BPL — ex baji offers pre-match and live betting across a range of sports. On this page, learn how betting works, how to read odds, and how to avoid common mistakes.
How Sports Betting Works
Sports betting is essentially the process of staking money by predicting the outcome of a match. You can place bets on various events before or during a match — such as which team will win, how many runs will be scored, or what the total number of goals will be. Each bet comes with odds, which show how much you will get back if your bet is successful.
When you select an event at ex baji, the available markets for that match appear on screen. Choose your preferred market and amount, add it to the betslip, and confirm the bet. If the result matches, your winnings are automatically credited to your account. Betting is a form of entertainment — so it is wise to set a limit for yourself beforehand.
Those betting for the first time should read the responsible gaming guidelines — they contain useful advice on managing your budget and maintaining healthy habits.
Popular Betting Markets
A variety of betting markets are available at ex baji. Below are the six most common markets with a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
The simplest market. Pick which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you select Team B and Team B wins, you win.
Match WinnerOver / Under
Bet on whether the total goals or runs in a match will be above or below a set number. For example: whether total goals will be over 2.5.
Over/UnderTop Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs for their team in a specific innings or match. Particularly popular in cricket matches.
Cricket SpecialHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a team to balance the betting. Handicaps are used to give the weaker team an equal chance.
HandicapMulti Bet
Multiple bets are combined into a single betslip. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied, so the return can be much higher.
Multi BetBetting Exchange
You can bet directly against another bettor. You can take either position — BACK (for a win) or LAY (against a win).
ExchangeHow to Read Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. The two examples below make it easy to understand the difference.
| Format | Value | Meaning | Return (if won) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply your stake directly by 2.25 | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250 + original stake ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit for every ৳100 staked | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
Odds for the favourite
Odds on a bet for Team B to win: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (profit ৳500). If Team B does not win, you lose ৳1,000.
Multi Bet Odds Calculation
Three selections: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (approximately).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳357 if all three are correct. But if any one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. Multi bets offer higher returns, but all selections must win.
Pre-Match vs Live Betting
Pre-Match Betting
Betting before a match starts is called pre-match betting. This type of bet gives you more time to think — you can consider the form of the teams, weather, or pitch conditions before deciding. Odds are generally set shortly before the match.
Live Betting
Live betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. You need to make quick decisions as the game unfolds, because odds change every moment. The risk of making the wrong call in an exciting moment is higher, so keeping a clear head is important.
The cricket betting section at ex baji offers live betting on major tournaments including BPL and the T20 World Cup. Those looking for answers to general questions about betting will find detailed information on the FAQ page.
Betting Exchange — What Are BACK and LAY
In a betting exchange, you bet directly against another bettor, not against the bookmaker.
- BACK: A bet in favour of Team A winning. If you BACK ৳500 — and Team A wins, you make ৳500 profit (minus commission); if they do not win, you lose ৳500.
- LAY: A bet against Team A winning. With a ৳500 LAY your liability is ৳500 (৳500 × 1.00); if Team A does not win, you make ৳500 profit (minus commission); if Team A wins, you pay ৳500.
Decimal odds of 2.00 are assumed here. Commission generally applies in exchange markets and is taken from winnings.
Useful Tips and Common Mistakes
Things to Keep in Mind When Betting
Set your budget in advance
Before each session, set a fixed amount you can afford to lose. Stop when you reach that limit.
Choose Fewer Markets
Rather than betting on many matches at once, focusing on one or two familiar markets makes it easier to make decisions.
No Rushing in Live Betting
Placing bets one after another in the excitement of a live match can quickly increase your losses. Make decisions based on how the match is developing.
Understand the Risk of Multi Bets
Even if the combined odds across three selections are 3.57, all three must be correct. Miss one and the entire bet is lost.
Common Mistakes
Trying to recover losses by placing larger bets
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a guaranteed source of income. Placing larger bets after a loss can make the situation worse.
Placing bets without understanding the odds
Decimal odds of 1.50 mean you get back 1.5 times your stake — a profit of 0.5 times. Without knowing this, there will be a gap between expectation and reality.
Always betting in favour of your preferred team
Choosing based on attachment to a favourite team makes objective analysis difficult.
Putting all your money on a single bet in one day
Placing your entire budget on one bet is the biggest risk. Spreading it across different markets in smaller amounts is safer.
