jitawin Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL and international matches — jitawin's cricket section offers markets including Match Winner, Toss and Top Batsman. Live odds update with every over so you can bet as the match unfolds.
Three cricket formats and popular tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own style of betting. Understanding which markets suit which tournament matters.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the most anticipated time of year is the BPL season. From Dhaka stadiums to neighbourhood tea stalls, the tournament is talked about everywhere. Because each over changes quickly in T20, betting markets stay very active. Odds at the start of a match can shift dramatically the moment the first wicket falls.
The IPL draws strong interest from Bangladeshi fans as well. High-quality performances are expected in every match, so odds tend to be fairly even throughout. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments attract the most attention.
In ODI (One Day International) matches, the 50-over span means mid-match tactics and bowling changes have a clear effect on betting markets. In Test cricket, five days of play include the draw as a valid result, making the market broader with three possible outcomes.
T20 Format
The fastest format. Any single ball can change the result of a match. All BPL and IPL matches are T20.
ODI Format
A one-day match of 50 overs. Mid-game tactical changes play a big role in betting markets.
Test Format
The long format played over five days. Three possible outcomes including a draw, making the markets more varied.
Differences in betting on football and other sports
You can bet on football and other sports alongside cricket, but the markets and approach are different.
In cricket, wickets, run-rate and powerplays drive the odds, while in football markets are built around goals, corners and cards. A draw is always possible in football, so the Match Winner market shows three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so the market is limited to two outcomes.
In sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, matches are shorter, making live betting very fast-moving. Cricket-focused markets at jitawin are the most familiar to Bangladeshi bettors because they include specialist markets such as Top Batsman, Toss and Over/Under that are not usually found in other sports.
Those who want to enjoy casino games beyond cricket can visit the jitawin casino section for live baccarat, roulette and Teen Patti. Slots fans will find hundreds of games from studios including PG Soft and Pragmatic Play on the jitawin slots page.

• Cricket (T20/ODI): 2 possible outcomes, fast-changing live odds.
• Cricket (Test): 3 possible outcomes (including a draw).
• Football: 3 outcomes, half-time/full-time markets.
• Both sports: live betting, Multi Bet and handicap markets are available.
Popular betting markets in cricket
From Match Winner to Top Batsman — each market has its own characteristics.
Match Winner
The simplest market. You bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options.
Example: Team A vs Team B — backing Team A means you win if Team A wins and lose your stake if they do not.
Toss Market
A bet on which team will win the toss. It has no connection to the match result, so odds are usually close to even for both teams.
Example: Team A or Team B — bet on one, settled as soon as the result is announced.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman from a given team will score the most runs. There may be a separate market for each innings.
Example: one market for Team A's top scorer and a separate market for Team B's top scorer.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs in a full innings or up to a set number of overs will be above (Over) or below (Under) a given number.
Example: will more than 50 runs be scored in the first 6 overs — you bet on one side.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into one bet. All selections must be correct to win; one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Example: three selections — decimal odds 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (combined odds). A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all win.
Handicap Market
A market where the weaker team is given a head start to level things out. The stronger team is artificially set back by a run advantage.
Example: if Team A is given a -15 run handicap, Team A must win by more than 15 runs for the bet to win.
Top Bowler Market
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Particularly popular on pace-friendly pitches.
Example: pick one bowler from either Team A or Team B. If that bowler takes the most wickets, the bet wins.
Reading odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Odds are written in three formats. jitawin generally uses decimal format, but understanding all three is useful.
Odds are a number that tells you how much you get back if your bet wins. The three common formats are decimal, fractional and American. The example below shows the same odds expressed in all three ways.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500:
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200
If you win, you receive ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake returned).
If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite), stake ৳500:
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
American minus odds tell you how much you need to stake to make a profit of 100.
A ৳500 bet returns ৳750 if it wins (৳250 profit).
With decimal format, simply multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. ৳500 × 3.00 = ৳1,500. This is the easiest way to calculate. Decimal format is a good starting point for new bettors.
| Format | How it is written | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | A ৳1 bet returns ৳3 in total (profit included) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | A ৳1 bet earns ৳2 profit; stake returned separately |
| American (+) | +200 | A ৳100 bet earns ৳200 profit |
| American (−) | -200 | A ৳200 stake is needed to earn ৳100 profit |
Keep in mind: betting is a form of entertainment. Higher odds are not a guarantee of winning. Bet within your limits and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live in-play betting — every ball shifts the odds
The chance to bet while a match is in progress — odds update instantly when a wicket falls, a six is hit or an over ends.
Live betting LIVE is a system where you can place bets after a match has started. After the first wicket falls the batting team's odds may rise, and after a big six during the powerplay the fielding team's odds can shift as well.
In a T20 match, new markets open at the end of each over. For example, after the 15th over an Over/Under market may open on how many total runs Team A will score in the remaining 5 overs. Staying informed and focused is important in this fast-moving environment.

Some important tips before you start betting
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Keeping these tips in mind will help you have a better experience.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or each week. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Focus on one market: Start by getting comfortable with the Match Winner market only. Going into too many markets at once is risky for beginners.
- Follow the match: It helps to have a general sense of the recent form of the team you are betting on.
- Do not chase losses: Placing a large bet to quickly recover from a loss is harmful.
- Take breaks: Avoid betting non-stop. Taking time before each decision leads to a better experience.
- Follow the age rule: Cricket betting and all gambling activities are for persons aged 21 and over only.
