Cricket betting at jaja9 — bet on T20, ODI and Test formats
Make Bangladesh's most popular sport even more enjoyable. From BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup to international Test series — jaja9 offers a wide range of markets for every match. Betting here is purely for entertainment, backed by secure payments and a simple interface.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
The first step in cricket betting is understanding the format, because the length of the game and the tactics involved completely change the nature of the available markets.
T20 is the shortest format — just 20 overs per side. Matches usually finish within three hours, so in-play betting moves at a much faster pace. BPL and IPL are the biggest festivals of this format. BPL is particularly popular with Bangladeshi fans because local stars take part.
ODI, or One Day International cricket, is a 50-over contest. With a longer match duration, markets for total runs, partnerships and wickets see more activity. Test cricket is a five-day examination — a draw is a recognised result here, so three-outcome markets are available. Major tournaments like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy bring a distinct edge to every match.
Cricket betting differs somewhat from football betting — in football, the outcome is often readable from the scoreline, but in cricket, pitch conditions, weather and batting order play a much bigger role. Alongside cricket, jaja9 also offers markets for football and other sports.
Popular cricket markets available at jaja9
You can take part in various types of markets from the start of a match right through to the end. Below are six common markets with simple explanations.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes (Team A or Team B); in Test there are three (Team A, Team B or Draw).
SimplestToss Winner
A market on which team wins the toss. The result is entirely down to luck, so the prices for both teams are usually close to each other.
Short-termTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs for their team? Knowing the batting order and current form helps when taking part in this market.
AnalyticalTotal Runs — Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored in an innings or across the full match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number.
Statistics-basedMulti Bet
Select multiple markets across multiple matches together. If all selections are correct, the combined odds increase your return — but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
High riskFirst Wicket Fall
A market on the score at which the first wicket falls. Bets are placed based on the openers' form and the bowling attack.

Decimal, fractional and American odds — how to read them
Odds are written in three different formats around the world. jaja9 generally uses decimal odds, but understanding all three formats is useful in any situation.
Example 1 — the same price in three forms: A ৳500 bet is placed on Team A to win. Decimal odds 2.50, fractional 3/2, American +150 — all three are different expressions of the same price. If Team A wins, the total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit plus the original ৳500 stake); if Team A loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — the favourite's price: Team B is the favourite, priced at decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
| Return on ৳500 stake | ৳1,250 | ৳900 |
In-play betting during the match — odds shift with every wicket and over
In-play or live betting is the most dynamic cricket experience. Markets remain open after the match has started, and odds update instantly after every wicket, every six or every big over.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 3 wickets in 10 overs — at that moment their odds to win the match will lengthen (higher price) because their chances have dropped. On the other hand, if Team A reaches 60 runs without losing a wicket, their odds will shorten (lower price, meaning they are becoming the favourite).
In T20, if a big over yields 18–20 runs, the total runs market can shift completely in the middle of the innings. Live markets at jaja9 are updated continuously, so you can make decisions while following the match. Keep in mind — live markets can close and reopen quickly, especially just before or after a wicket.
A reliable mobile connection is needed to enjoy in-play betting. Viewing live markets and placing bets is straightforward on the jaja9 App.
Multiple markets combined — how multi bet works
Take a three-selection multi bet as an example: if the decimal odds are 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.13 (rounded). So on a ৳100 bet, if all selections are correct the return is ৳513. But if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer a higher potential return, but the risk increases proportionally.
Alongside cricket, jaja9 also offers football betting. In football, results come within 90 minutes and markets such as total goals, first goalscorer and handicap are available. The handicap market works like this — a weaker team is given a goal advantage to level the market for both sides; the outcome is determined by adding that advantage to the final score. In the over/under market, you choose whether the total number of goals will be more or less than a set figure (such as 2.5), without calculating a specific stake or return.
Alongside cricket and football, jaja9 also carries markets for other international sports. If you want to enjoy casino games beyond sports, jaja9 Casino has a large collection of slots and live table games.
Things to know before you start
Betting is a form of entertainment — taking part thoughtfully gives you the best experience.
- Understand the format and pitch: T20 and Test markets are completely different. Whether the pitch favours batting or bowling is useful information for reading the markets.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet. Not going beyond that limit is responsible betting.
- Compare odds: Read the odds across different markets. If you have a good understanding of a particular market, focus on that one.
- Stay calm in-play: Odds change fast in live betting. Analyse the situation rather than rushing on impulse.
- Be restrained with multi bets: Adding too many selections increases the chance of losing everything on one wrong pick. Two or three selections are generally better.
- Follow responsible betting guidelines: Betting is a way to spend time, not a guaranteed source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
How does a betting exchange work?
In regular betting you bet against the site; in an exchange you bet against another bettor. Example: BACK Team A at decimal 1.80 — on a ৳500 bet, if Team A wins you gain ৳400 (before commission); if they don't win, ৳500 is gone. Conversely, if you LAY Team A, you take on the backer's risk of ৳500 — if Team A does not win you gain ৳500; if they do win, you pay out ৳400 (liability = ৳500 × 0.80).
