jabi Cricket Betting — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on every cricket format — from match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play. jabi offers a simple interface and fast payments for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One-Day (ODI) and Test. Each has a different character, so the betting markets differ too.
T20: Matches are short with fewer overs, so one big hit or wicket can change everything. In Bangladesh, BPL is the biggest stage for this format. Internationally, the T20 World Cup draws strong interest every year.
One-Day (ODI): In a fifty-over match the innings builds gradually, so there are more opportunities in in-play betting. The ICC Champions Trophy and the World Cup are the biggest stages for ODI betting.
Test: Betting on a five-day match calls for a bit of patience. Alongside match winner, markets include innings runs, series result and top wicket-taker.
Many Bangladeshi fans bet regularly during IPL. jabi also keeps markets active for Bangladesh national team international series.
Besides cricket, football betting is popular on jabi. Football matches last 90 minutes with low scores, so markets like Asian handicap and both teams to score are more common. Cricket has no goals — it has runs, wickets and overs, so the market types are completely different.
A draw is possible in football (1X2 market), but in limited-overs cricket a draw is not the norm — one team wins. This difference directly affects how odds are calculated: two outcomes in cricket, three in football.
In sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, markets are much simpler — usually match winner and set score. In cricket, format-specific markets like wickets, run rate and powerplay score make betting more varied.

Football vs Cricket
Key differences at a glance:
- Draws are rare in cricket, common in football
- Cricket has innings-based markets
- Football has goal-count-based markets
- Live betting moves at a different pace
jabi offers a range of markets for cricket betting. Each market works a little differently — some are straightforward, others need a bit of analysis.
Match Winner
Simple MarketBet on which team will win the match. In limited-overs cricket there are only two outcomes — team A wins or team B wins. This is the most common market and suits beginners.
Toss
Quick MarketPredict which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is known quickly and odds are generally even.
Top Batsman
Specialist MarketWhich batter will score the most runs? This market requires picking the highest scorer within one team. The result shifts depending on the batting order.
Total Runs Over / Under
Runs MarketBet on whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above (over) or below (under) a set line. Wickets slow the scoring, so this market can shift every over.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bowling MarketWhich bowler will take the most wickets? Pitch conditions and weather play a big role here. On a spin-friendly pitch, the spinner's odds will be lower.
Multi Bet
Multiple SelectionsCombine selections from multiple matches or markets into one bet. For example, you can build a multi bet by picking the winner of three separate matches — all selections must be correct to win.
Odds on betting platforms are written in three ways. All three express the same result — only the format differs.
| Format | If Team A wins (৳1,000 bet) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 2.50 Decimal |
Return ৳2,500 Profit ৳1,500 |
Bet amount × odds = total return |
| 3/2 Fractional |
Profit ৳1,500 + stake returned |
Numerator/denominator — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| +150 American |
Profit ৳1,500 | A + sign means that amount of profit per 100 staked |
Example 1 (not the favourite): Team A's winning odds are 2.50 decimal, 3/2 fractional, +150 American. On a ৳1,000 bet, winning returns ৳2,500 total (profit ৳1,500 + stake ৳1,000); losing means ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite): Team B's winning odds are 1.50 decimal, 1/2 fractional, -200 American. A minus American odds figure means you stake that amount to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, winning returns ৳1,500 total (profit ৳500).

Betting during a match is called in-play or live betting. In cricket this is especially significant because the situation changes with every over and wicket — and the odds change with it.
Say the batting team is in a strong position at the 15th over of a T20 — their odds of winning will shorten (meaning their probability is higher). But if two wickets fall in quick succession, the odds can flip fast.
In the powerplay overs (first 6 overs) scoring tends to be quicker due to fielding restrictions. Over/under markets shift rapidly during this phase. Wickets in the middle overs slow the run rate, while the death overs see it climb again.
In-play moves at a slower pace in Test matches — pitch conditions, weather and session changes influence the odds. There is more room here to study the situation before placing a bet.
Remember, betting is for entertainment. Read our guidelines on the responsible gaming page and stay within your limits.
