Cricket Betting at jitabet — Bangladesh's favourite sports markets
T20, ODI, Test — odds, live betting and a range of markets for BPL, IPL and international matches in every format, all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and the differences in betting
The type of bet varies with each format — understanding the timing, situation and team strategy makes betting more enjoyable.
T20 — the fastest format
Just 20 overs of play, where the game can turn on any ball. This format is the most popular in BPL and IPL. In live betting, odds move fast, so decisions need to be made quickly.
ODI — 50-over strategy
In a 50-over match, pace, spin and batting depth matter more. ODI betting markets are quite large in ICC tournaments and bilateral series.
Test — a five-day contest
Test cricket has markets for match winner, series winner and draw. Pitch conditions, weather and batting order have the greatest influence on betting in this format.
BPL — Bangladesh's own league
BPL holds a special place for cricket fans in the country every year. This league, where local and overseas stars come together, has active betting markets.
IPL — South Asia's biggest festival
India's IPL is the largest T20 franchise league in the world. High-quality cricket and wide markets — the betting opportunities at jitabet during the IPL season are notable.
International matches
Bangladesh Tigers' matches in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments attract the most attention. The betting markets for these matches are deep and varied.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
At jitabet you can bet on football alongside cricket. Football offers markets such as match winner, number of goals and both teams to score — somewhat different from cricket's runs-based markets. In cricket, odds shift over by over or ball by ball; in football that shift comes with goals or foul events.
Those who like betting across different sports should read the detailed sports betting guide — it covers markets and strategies for football, basketball and other sports.
Most bettors in Bangladesh, however, feel more at home with cricket, because the game itself is familiar — an understanding of each team's strengths and weaknesses, pitch behaviour and weather comes naturally.
Popular cricket markets — what each one involves
Each market depends on a different type of prediction. Below is a brief introduction to the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes: Team A wins or Team B wins.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match — this market's outcome is entirely independent, as the toss can go either way.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team — this depends on a specific player's form and batting position.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the score will be above or below a set runs line — for example, whether the first innings will exceed 160 runs.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combining the results of several matches at once multiplies the odds — for example, three selections at 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 give combined odds of 4.32. A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all are correct; if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Handicap Market
One team is given a virtual head start or deficit — this makes the market more interesting even between two unevenly matched sides.
First Wicket to Fall
In which over or at what score the first wicket will fall — this market is more common in T20 and generally offers higher odds.
Cricket odds — understanding the three formats
On jitabet and most betting platforms, odds can be displayed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Team A (৳500 stake) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Return ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500: Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, total return is ৳1,500 (profit ৳1,000 + original ৳500); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B, stake ৳500: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (negative odds mean how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (profit ৳125).
In a limited-overs cricket match there is no draw — so there are only two possible outcomes with odds. For more detail, see the jitabet Bet betting guide.
Live In-Play Betting — odds change when wickets fall
The most engaging aspect of cricket betting is live or in-play betting. You can place bets after the match has started, and the odds change with every over and every wicket.
Say Team A is 120/2 after 15 overs — the odds will favour Team A at that point. But if two quick wickets fall, the odds in the 16th over can quickly level out or shift towards Team B.
In the Powerplay and death overs, make your decisions based on the run rate and the bowler's form — but remember that in live betting time is short, so have some idea of the situation before you start.
- Watch how odds change after each wicket — that is where the opportunity lies.
- The over-by-over run rate market gives you a better feel for the match conditions.
- In-play requires quick decisions — take a moment to think clearly rather than rushing.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — these tips can make your experience more comfortable.
- Focus on one market: Start by getting familiar with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. It is better to build a solid understanding of one market than to spread across all of them at once.
- Stick to a budget: Set a separate budget for each match and do not exceed it. Placing a larger bet to recover losses is not a good decision.
- Check pitch and weather: Rain forecasts and pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) play a significant role in the match outcome.
- Watch the team's recent form: How the team has performed in its last few matches and whether key players are in the lineup — this information is easy to find.
- Follow responsible betting: Betting is entertainment — never treat it as a source of income. If needed, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Know the rules: Before placing any bet, read jitabet's terms and conditions once — especially the wagering requirements for bonuses.
Betting is for enjoyment — set your own limits and stick to them.
