Cricket betting at joya 9tv — all markets from BPL to the T20 World Cup
joya 9tv brings Bangladesh cricket fans a wide range of betting markets — from match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play. Every ball, every wicket — odds shift as the game moves, and so do the opportunities.
Cricket's three formats and betting
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own pace and betting approach.
T20
This format covers just twenty overs and has the fastest pace of play. In tournaments like BPL and IPL, odds can shift dramatically after every over. joya 9tv offers separate markets for Bangladesh Tigers T20 matches. Bettors tend to be most active in this format because matches end quickly.
ODI
In fifty-over one-day matches, markets like total runs, partnerships and bowling figures are more popular. ODI matches in the ICC World Cup and bilateral series offer longer windows for betting, which some bettors prefer.
Test
In five-day Test cricket, pitch conditions, weather and innings results shift odds gradually. Innings winner, draw or total runs by either team — Test matches offer many markets not available in T20.
BPL, IPL and international matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is our home tournament — excitement spreads across the country with every match played at Dhaka's stadiums. joya 9tv offers separate markets for every BPL match during the season.
Bangladeshi bettors also follow the IPL closely. joya 9tv's platform lets you bet on the performances of world-class players in this Indian tournament.
For international events like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, tournament winner and group-stage knockout markets are available separately. Keep in mind that betting is a form of entertainment — play within your limits.
Football and other sports
Sports betting on joya 9tv goes well beyond cricket.
Alongside cricket, interest in football is growing steadily in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi bettors are clearly engaged with English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and World Cup matches. Football markets like match winner, half-time score and total goals work differently from cricket — football has the possibility of a draw, which limited-overs cricket does not.
Some seasonal markets are also available for local sports like Kabaddi and Badminton. However, liquidity in these sports is lower than in cricket or football, so odds may be less competitive.
If you want to combine multiple sports events into a single bet, it's worth reading about multi-bet or parlay betting separately — the rules for combining different markets are explained in detail there.
Cricket vs football — key differences
- Limited-overs cricket has no draw; in football a draw is a possible result.
- In cricket, the pitch report and toss result influence betting markets.
- In football, live odds shift after goals; in cricket, after every wicket and over.
- In Test cricket, live betting is possible across five days — football has nothing equivalent.
Popular betting markets
An overview of the most commonly played bet types in cricket.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: team A is playing team B, you think team A will win, so you bet on team A.
T20 ODI TestToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. It is independent of the match result, so it stands as its own market. For example, if you think team B will win the toss, you bet on that side.
All FormatsTop Batsman
This market covers which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. You can bet on a team basis or a match basis. Batting order matters in this market.
ODI T20Total Runs Over / Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: over or under 160 runs in team A's first innings.
T20 ODIFirst Wicket to Fall
A bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls — a fast-moving market in live betting that requires quick decisions. The strength of the opening partnership is an important factor.
LiveMulti Bet
Combining multiple markets into a single bet. For example, linking the winners of two matches together. All selections must be correct to win. For details, see the multi-bet guide.
CombinationMan of the Match Market
A bet on who will be the top performer in the match — the winning team's players generally have lower odds here. There may also be separate markets on whether a batsman or bowler takes the award. This is an example of a player props market.
How to read odds — three formats
Decimal, fractional and American — all three show the same value, just written differently.
| Format | Odds for team A to win | Odds for team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Example 1 — ৳500 bet on team A to win
Decimal odds of 2.25 means a return of 2.25 times your stake. A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 in total (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, you lose the full ৳500. American odds of +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet.
Example 2 — ৳500 bet on favourite team B
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — decimal 1.25. A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (only ৳125 profit). American odds of -400 means you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100. Lower odds mean less profit, but the bookmaker considers the outcome more likely.
Odds on joya 9tv are shown in decimal format by default, but you can change the format to your preference from the settings.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — live betting
In-play or live betting means placing bets in real time while a match is in progress. In cricket this is especially interesting because every wicket, every boundary and even a maiden over can shift odds instantly.
Say team A is batting and has scored 70 runs in 10 overs for 2 wickets. At that moment, team A's odds of winning may go up or down compared to the start of the match — depending on pitch behaviour and the bowling lineup. In live markets, timing your decision is the key.
In T20, a sudden wicket after the powerplay moves odds quickly. In ODI, if the run rate slows in the middle overs, the odds reflect the reduced chance of the chasing team winning. In Test, if wickets fall in the session just before fading light at the end of the day, odds reset for the next day.
Live betting is a game of quick decisions — take your time and stay within your budget. To learn more about responsible betting, read the responsible gaming guide.
Some practical tips before you start betting
These are not strategies — they are general guidelines for enjoying betting as entertainment.
- Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you will put into betting each session and stick to that limit — whether you win or lose.
- Learn to read odds. Decimal odds are the simplest — the higher the odds, the less likely that outcome is. Beginners should practise understanding odds with small bets first.
- Don't rush in live betting. Odds change fast in-play, but making hasty decisions rarely works out well.
- Focus on one market. Start with simple markets like match winner or total runs. Rather than spreading across many markets at once, pay proper attention to one.
- Read the rules. Before you start betting, go through the terms and conditions once — especially the bonus wagering requirements and withdrawal rules.
- Treat it as entertainment. Expecting a regular income from betting is not realistic. Enjoy it the same way you enjoy watching cricket — as something fun.
