Cricket Betting at jilibet — markets for BPL, IPL, and international matches
From T20 to Test cricket — bet on match winner, toss, top batsman, and more across all formats. Everything from reading odds to live betting is explained here in plain terms.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the game is more than entertainment — it is a passion. From the fast pace of T20 to the long strategic battles of Test cricket, the betting experience is different in each format.
T20: The most popular format. Matches wrap up in 20 overs, so things can change quickly and odds shift fast. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup all fall under this category.
ODI: Fifty-over matches offer a wider range of betting markets. ODIs are played in the ICC World Cup and bilateral series. If an innings is interrupted or the Duckworth-Lewis method applies, market results are settled accordingly.
Test: In a five-day Test match, a draw is a valid result. So the match winner market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or the match is drawn. Pitch conditions and weather are important factors to consider when betting on Tests.
BPL
Bangladesh Premier League — a T20 franchise tournament featuring both local and international cricketers.
IPL
Indian Premier League — the most-watched T20 league in the world. It is also hugely popular among Bangladeshi fans.
T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup features all top teams, including Bangladesh Tigers.
ODI and Test Series
Bet on fifty-over and Test matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, jilibet also offers betting on football and a few other sports. Football betting works a little differently — each match has three possible results (win, loss, or draw) and goals are the main basis for betting markets.
Cricket has markets for runs, wickets, over-by-over scores, and more that you do not find in football. In T20, conditions change every over, so live odds move quickly. In football, if no goals are scored, odds can stay relatively steady for a long stretch.
In sports like tennis and badminton, each game or set is treated as a separate betting market — which is similar in concept to cricket's over-by-over markets. Every sport has its own rules, so it is best to start with the one you know well.

Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting is not limited to just "who will win." There are several types of markets, each with its own nature and outcomes. Here is a brief explanation of seven common markets:
-
Match Winner: A straightforward bet on which team will win the match. T20 and ODI have two options (Team A or Team B), while Test matches have three (Team A, Team B, or draw). Example: if Team A wins, your bet succeeds; if Team B wins, you lose your bet.
-
Toss Winner: A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. In cricket, the toss is often strategically important depending on pitch conditions.
-
Top Batsman: A bet on which player will score the most runs for their team. This market usually offers several options within a single team.
-
Total Runs Over/Under: A bet on whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: total runs in the match will exceed 320 — that is an over market.
-
Method of First Wicket: A bet on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, and so on. This is a specialist market preferred by experienced bettors.
-
Top Wicket Taker: A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is popular in T20 because specific bowlers bowl set overs.
-
Multi Bet (Accumulator): Combining several markets into one single bet. If all selections are correct, the return is large — but if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. You can find full details on multi bets on the jilibet Bet page.
Three separate markets with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.60 — combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳336 if all three selections are correct. If any one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Choosing a Betting Market
Every market carries its own risk. It is better to focus on markets you understand well. Betting is for entertainment — not a guaranteed way to make money.
How to Read Odds
Betting platforms display odds in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three convey the same information; only the way they are presented differs.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
Team A to win, bet ৳1,000:
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return = bet × odds |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | Positive number = profit on a ৳100 bet |
In this example, a ৳1,000 bet that wins returns ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + the original ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the favourite team
Team B to win (favourite), bet ৳1,000:
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return = ৳1,000 × 1.25 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 bet |
| American | -400 | Negative number = how much you need to bet to win ৳100 |
In this example, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit + the original ৳1,000 stake). The favourite's odds are lower because they are considered more likely to win.
The difference between the three formats
Most platforms in Bangladesh display decimal odds, which are the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. Fractional odds follow the British method, and American odds follow the US method.
All three formats carry the same information — only the way the numbers are expressed differs. Use whichever one you find easiest to understand.
Live Betting — While the Match is On
Live betting in cricket means you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds change every moment depending on the pace of play, wickets fallen, and overs remaining.
For example, in a T20 match, if Team A has lost 3 wickets in 15 overs, Team A's odds of winning will rise — meaning Team B is now considered more likely to win. At the same time, other markets such as total runs or the time of the next wicket will also adjust their odds to reflect the current situation.
In ODI matches, it is normal for odds to shift after the powerplay ends or when a review is taken. In Test matches, noticeable odds changes come at the start and end of each day, or when the pitch behaviour changes.
Live betting requires quick decisions. It is popular among experienced bettors because you can place a market based on how the match is actually unfolding. That said, odds move fast — it is better to set a limit for yourself beforehand and stick to it.
Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start Betting
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will bet before each match and stay within that limit. Following the responsible gaming guidelines is important.
Start with one market
A simple tip for beginners: start with just the match winner market. Once you understand one market well, move on to the next.
Compare odds
Look at what the odds are across different markets for the same match. Betting is part of entertainment — explore the odds out of curiosity, not to calculate guaranteed profit.
Understand the cricket format
Markets that work in T20 may not apply in Test cricket. Choosing a market that fits the format is the sensible approach.
Stay steady in live betting
Odds change fast in live betting. Make decisions within your own limits without rushing.
Do not chase your losses
After losing a bet, placing a bigger bet to recover is not a good idea. Staying within your planned limit is the best approach.
