Cricket Betting at joya99 — Bet on T20, ODI and Test Formats
joya99 offers a wide range of betting markets on BPL, IPL and international matches for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From match winner to live in-play — all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Where to Bet
Each format has its own pace and betting strategy. Understanding what to look for in each format is the starting point for a better betting experience.
With only 20 overs of play, every ball can shift a bet. BPL and IPL are played in this format, so it is the most familiar to fans in Bangladesh. The total runs market is very active in T20.
T20 World Cup BPL IPLIn a 50-over match the momentum can shift many times. Betting opportunities arise from the first powerplay through to the final overs. ICC World Cups and bilateral series are played in this format.
ICC World Cup Bilateral SeriesIn Test cricket a draw is a valid result, so three markets are open — first team wins, second team wins and draw. Pitch conditions, weather and the role of spinners all influence betting.
Test Championship Draw PossibilityCricket fans in Bangladesh naturally show the most interest in BPL and ICC tournaments. joya99 markets are most active during Bangladesh Tigers matches.
Alongside cricket, joya99 also offers football betting — from the Premier League to local leagues. In football all matches have three possible results (home win, draw, away win), so odds distribution is different from cricket.
Sports like Kabaddi, Badminton or Tennis have fewer markets, but competition pressure often produces attractive odds. To bet on other sports, check the full sports section at joya99 Bet.

- A draw is possible in ODI and Test cricket — not in T20
- Handicap markets are more popular in football
- Cricket has special markets based on wickets and overs
- T20 live odds change the fastest
joya99's Popular Cricket Markets
From match winner to multi bet — each market is worth understanding separately.
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. In T20 only two results are possible, but in Test and ODI a draw is also an option.
All FormatsYou can bet on the toss before the match starts. Since the result is 50-50, odds are generally close for both teams. It is a familiar market for quick decisions.
Pre-MatchThis market asks which batsman will score the most runs in the innings. Since the bet is spread across more players, the odds are comparatively higher.
Player MarketYou choose whether the total runs in an innings will be more than a set number (over) or less (under). Pitch type and team strength make this market interesting.
T20 / ODIThis market is about which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. The choice between a pace bowler or spinner depends on the pitch.
All FormatsMultiple selections from different matches are combined into one bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases significantly, but if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple Matches
Handicap and First Innings Markets
In the handicap market a virtual advantage is given to the weaker team so the odds for both sides come closer together. For example — if team A is given a 20-run handicap, then 20 is subtracted from team A's score when settling the result.
Special markets such as total runs in the first innings, runs before the first wicket and total runs in the powerplay give you the chance to bet on specific parts of a match. Reading joya99's FAQ section before placing bets in these markets will make the rules clear.
Learn to Read Odds — Three Formats
The same odds can be written in three ways. Here is what each one means with a simple example.
| Format | Team A (Win) | Team B (Win) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 | Multiply your stake by this number to get the total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 | For every unit staked equal to the right number, the left number is your profit |
| American | +150 | −125 | "+" means profit on ৳100 stake; "−" means how much you must stake to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳200
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150 — all three show the same result.
If team A wins: total return ৳500 (৳300 profit + original ৳200 stake). If team A loses: the full ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B wins (favourite), stake ৳200
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125. If team B wins: total return ৳360 (৳160 profit). American format −125 means you must stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
How Multi Bet Odds Work
Three bets on separate matches: Decimal 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 — the combined odds will be 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (approximately).
So on a ৳100 bet, if all selections are correct the return is ৳513. But if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Decimal format is the simplest — that is why joya99 shows it as the default.
Live In-Play — Bet While the Match Is On
Live in-play betting means placing bets directly while a match is in progress. Odds change instantly with every wicket, every six hit or a rain break.
Say team A has scored 80 runs in the first 10 overs but lost 3 wickets — in this situation team A's odds of winning will shorten and team B's odds will lengthen. You can place a new bet to take advantage of that shift.
Quick wickets in the powerplay, a spinner dominating the middle overs or a hitter coming in during the death overs — each event is reflected in the live market. In T20 these changes happen fastest; in ODI they are a little slower.
Live betting is more convenient on mobile. Download the joya99 App to access live markets from anywhere — Android APK and iOS versions are available through official channels.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Starting with the mindset that betting is for entertainment leads to a better experience.
- Set a budget first: Decide in advance how much you will set aside each week or each match. It is better to start with a small portion of your total bankroll.
- Focus on one market: Start by getting comfortable with just the match winner market. Betting across too many markets at once makes things complicated.
- Check the pitch report: Before betting on the total runs market, it is important to know whether the pitch favours batting or bowling.
- Be patient in live betting: Odds change quickly in live betting. Take your time and choose the right moment rather than rushing.
- Be careful with multi bets: The more selections you add, the higher the risk. It is better not to go beyond two or three selections at the start.
- Treat the toss market as a game: The toss result is entirely based on chance, so placing a large bet is not advisable.
- Do not rush after a loss: Avoid the urge to place a large bet immediately after losing a match to try to recover.
- Follow responsible gaming rules: Reading joya99's responsible gaming guidelines will help you set your own limits.
