joya 9apps Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
joya 9apps offers an extensive cricket betting section for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Match winner, top batsman, total runs and live in-play markets — all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test. The style of betting differs across each format because the pace of play and range of possible outcomes vary.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in just twenty overs, so the situation can change with every ball. Tournaments like the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), IPL and ICC T20 World Cup attract the most attention from Bangladeshi cricket fans. All these tournaments are available to bet on at joya 9apps.
ODI, or one-day matches, are played over fifty overs, giving more room for strategy. The Bangladesh Tigers' matches in international ODI series are of particular interest to bettors.
Test cricket is a five-day match — a draw is a possible result, so the number and variety of markets is different. Because the pace of a Test match is slower, session-based betting is more popular.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, joya 9apps also offers betting on football and other sports. However, the betting structure for cricket and football is quite different.
In football there are three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Because of this three-way market, football odds are structured differently. Multiple markets are available for each match across major international leagues and tournaments.
In cricket (T20 and ODI), there is no draw — the result is decided directly between the two teams. Test cricket does have a draw, so the odds structure there is closer to football. For more details on sports betting, visit the joya 9apps Bet page.
Betting is also available on tennis, badminton and other sports, though cricket remains the main draw for Bangladeshi bettors. Each sport has its own market types and rules — it is important to understand the rules of a sport before placing a bet.
7 Popular Betting Markets
Various types of markets are available in cricket betting. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — betting on which team will win. In T20 and ODI, only two outcomes are possible: Team A or Team B.
Toss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This market is settled quickly.
Top Batsman
Betting on which player will score the most runs in an innings or across the full match. You need to know who the strongest batsman in the team is.
Total Runs Over/Under
Betting on whether a team's total runs or the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches together. All selections must be correct to win; if one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Man of the Match
Betting on who will be awarded the best player of the match. It could be a batsman, a bowler or an all-rounder.
In handicap betting, one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to even out the odds. For example, if Team A is stronger, Team A may be given a handicap of 20 runs — meaning Team A must win by more than 20 runs for the bet to pay out. This is a market that can be understood without numerical examples.
How to Read Odds
There are three types of odds formats on betting sites — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Say ৳200 is placed on Team A to win. Decimal odds 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200 — all three mean the same thing. If Team A wins, the total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if Team A loses, the full ৳200 is lost.
This time Team B is the favourite — their odds are decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. In this case a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 in total (৳100 profit).
The lower the odds, the bigger the favourite and the smaller the potential profit. The higher the odds, the greater the risk but also the greater the potential return. These figures are examples only — live odds change constantly based on match conditions.
Live In-Play Betting
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, odds update instantly when a wicket falls, an over is completed or a big six is hit.
Say Team A has made a strong start — 90 runs for 1 wicket after the first 10 overs. Team A's odds to win will shorten (because they are ahead), while Team B's odds will lengthen. Conversely, if two wickets fall in quick succession, Team A's odds may lengthen again.
There is less time to make decisions in live betting, so having some knowledge of the match beforehand helps. It is better not to place a bet in a rush without thinking it through.

Practical Cricket Betting Tips
- Start with one type of market. The match winner market is the most straightforward — it is a good starting point for beginners.
- Set a budget first. Set aside a specific amount that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but a single wrong selection ends the entire bet.
- Keep an eye on pitch and weather conditions. The type of pitch and the weather affect run rates and bowlers — this is especially relevant for over/under markets.
- Do not try to chase losses after a loss. Betting is a form of entertainment — no strategy can guarantee a profit.
- Play responsibly. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to understand your limits and keep your betting under control.
