Cricket Betting at bet jilly — bet on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test — pick from markets like match winner, toss, and top batsman across all cricket formats. Deposit quickly via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket and join live odds while the match is on.
T20, ODI and Test — three formats, three different experiences
One interesting aspect of cricket betting is that the style of betting differs completely across the three formats. T20 matches finish quickly, so odds shift from moment to moment. A wicket falling or a big powerplay score changes the market picture instantly.
In ODI matches, events unfold over 50 overs, giving more opportunities to place bets at different stages. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are especially popular for cricket betting — many fans have a good understanding of the teams in these tournaments. Matches involving the Tigers in the ICC T20 World Cup or other international series naturally attract greater interest.
Test cricket is a five-day game of patience. A draw is a possible result here, so the market offers three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role in this format.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Football is extremely popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. Football matches are generally decided within 90 minutes, and a goalless draw is a normal outcome. So the match winner market in football has three options — presented in the 1X2 format. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw; one of the two teams always wins.
bet jilly also offers tennis betting, where markets are built around a head-to-head contest between two players. Tennis set scores and game handicap markets are completely different from cricket's innings-based markets — visit the bet jilly tennis page for more details.
In cricket, run rate, wicket count, and individual batsman scores each create their own markets — something football or tennis does not have. This variety makes cricket betting a distinct experience.
Which are the popular markets in cricket
Match Winner
A market on which team will win the full match. In T20 or ODI, place a bet on one of two outcomes. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, bet on the Team B winner option.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is unrelated to the match result — winning the toss does not mean winning the match. Pick either of the two teams.
Top Batsman
A market on which batsman will score the most runs in the full match or in a team's innings. Pick one player from the team — if they do not score the highest, the bet is lost.
Total Runs Over / Under
A market on whether the combined total runs of both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: total runs over/under 315.5 — if you think 316 or more runs will be scored in total, choose over.
Multi Bet (multiple markets)
Adding more than one market to a single bet creates a multi bet. If all markets win, the odds are multiplied; if even one loses, the entire stake is gone. This increases the potential return but also increases the risk.
Top Bowler / Wicket Market
A market on which bowler will take the most wickets, or whether a wicket will fall in a specific over. This market carries particular weight on bowling-friendly pitches and in conditions suited to bouncers.
Handicap and Line Markets
In a handicap market, one team is given an artificial advantage or disadvantage — for example, giving Team A a -1.5 run handicap means they must win by more than 2 runs. To understand this market without needing a stake or return example: adding the handicap to the actual result gives a new "adjusted" result, and the bet wins or loses based on that adjusted result.
How to understand decimal, fractional and American odds
Cricket betting odds are shown in three formats. bet jilly generally uses the decimal format, but knowing the other two is also useful.
| Format | Team A (example) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3,000 on a ৳1,000 stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American (plus) | +200 | Possible ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Worked example 1 (big odds): Team A to win — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳3,000 if Team A wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); ৳1,000 is lost if they lose.
Worked example 2 (favourite): Team B to win — decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 (minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit).
The higher the odds, the less likely the market considers that team to win — and the greater the potential profit. Favourites generally have lower odds.
Place bets while the match is on
In-play or live betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. In cricket, odds shift after every over, every wicket, and even every ball. This is a completely different experience from pre-match betting.
For example, if Team A scores only 30 runs in the powerplay and loses 2 wickets, their winner odds will rise significantly because the market sees their chances of winning as lower. Team B's odds will drop accordingly.
Live betting requires quick decisions — odds may only last a few seconds. In the rush, only stake what you are comfortable with, and treat it as entertainment.
Many cricket fans in Dhaka show particular interest in live betting during the BPL season because the pace of the match changes fast. You can place live bets from anywhere using the bet jilly app.
Some useful points for new bettors
Start with one format
There is no need to jump into T20, ODI, and Test all at once. Start with the format you watch the most.
Set your budget first
Set a fixed amount for betting and try not to go beyond it. Chasing losses by placing more bets is not a good idea.
Be careful with multi bets
Adding many markets to a single bet increases the potential return, but one miss means losing everything. New bettors can try a multi bet with fewer selections.
Treat it as entertainment
Cricket betting is a way to have fun — not a reliable source of income. Read our responsible gaming guide to play responsibly.
