START HEREFour ways a cricket fan can take a position
A scorecard tells you what has happened; a market asks what happens next. Before you place anything on Baji, it helps to know which kind of market you are looking at, because each one rewards a different way of watching the game.
Match and tournament markets
The simplest idea in the sport: which side wins this fixture, or which team lifts the trophy. These suit followers who already have strong views on squads, pitches and form before the first ball is bowled.
Live in-play markets
Prices move as wickets fall and run rates change. Following a chase over by over is a different skill from picking a winner in advance, and it asks for calm when the scoreboard swings.
Back and lay on the exchange
On an exchange you can back an outcome to happen or lay it, meaning you take the opposing view. Cricket followers often find lay the harder idea, so the glossary and FAQ pages go through it slowly.
Other sports, briefly
Baji also lists football, tennis, basketball, kabaddi and e-sports. This handbook stays with cricket and only compares other games where a cricket fan might wonder how they differ.
BETWEEN MATCHESWhat to read when there is no game on
Cricket calendars have gaps, and some followers wonder about casino-style games during them. Our short pages on slots, roulette, baccarat and crash compare each with live cricket betting, so you can see how differently they behave before deciding anything.
TOPICSWhat this handbook covers
Each page takes one question a cricket follower might have and answers it directly. Start wherever your curiosity is strongest, since pages do not depend on one another.

SCREEN SIZE TIPSReading cricket markets on a small screen
A phone shows less at once, so a few habits help you avoid mistakes when a match is moving quickly and your attention is split between the TV and the handset.
Check the market name twice
Match winner, top batter and innings runs can sit close together in a list. Reading the full market name before confirming costs one second and prevents a mix-up.
Expect brief pauses
When a wicket falls or a review is under way, live markets may stop accepting positions for a short time. A paused market is normal behaviour, not a fault.
Keep notifications calm
Score alerts are handy, but a buzzing phone can push you into rushed decisions. Mute everything except what you truly need during a close finish.
