Cricket betting at joy9 — bet on all matches from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches — joy9 gives you live odds, multiple betting markets and easy mobile payments. Watch the cricket, understand it, then place your bet.
Three cricket formats and the tournaments where betting is popular
Cricket fans in Bangladesh mainly follow three formats — and joy9 keeps betting markets open for all three.
T20 is the fastest format — a result in just 20 overs. Odds shift quickly, making it the most engaging format for live betting. Every BPL and IPL match is played in this format, which is why Bangladeshi fans naturally have the most interest in these two leagues.
ODI matches have 50 overs. There is more market variety compared to T20 — separate markets are available for total runs, partnerships, or the score at a specific over. ICC tournaments and bilateral series are played in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. The betting markets here are different — a draw is a valid result, so the Match Winner market has three options. Reading the situation and staying patient matter more in this format.
T20, ODI and Test — live betting markets are available on joy9 for all three formats.
Popular betting markets on joy9
A single match offers the chance to bet on multiple markets. Below is a straightforward explanation of seven common markets and how each of them works.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Team A vs Team B — you pick one of the two (no draw in T20/ODI).
Most commonToss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is known quickly, so many people use it as a warm-up bet.
Pre-match marketTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. You can factor in current form and pitch conditions before deciding.
Player marketTotal Runs Over / Under
Whether runs scored will be more (Over) or fewer (Under) than a set number. Example — if the line is set at 160 runs for an innings, you bet Over or Under that figure.
Runs marketFirst Wicket Partnership
How many runs the opening pair will add before the first wicket falls. A line is set and you play it as Over/Under.
Partnership marketMulti Bet
Combining multiple selections from multiple matches increases the combined odds. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple selectionsBetting Exchange
You can bet from two positions — BACK (for) or LAY (against). In a LAY bet you take on the role of the bookmaker, and your potential liability is known in advance.
Exchange market
Decimal, Fractional and American — learn to read odds
Odds on a betting platform are displayed in three formats. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | If Team A wins (৳500 bet) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal 2.50 | Total return ৳1,250 (profit ৳750) | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional 3/2 | ৳750 profit on a ৳500 bet | The number on the right is the stake, the number on the left is the profit |
| American +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet | "+" means profit per ৳100 staked |
The favourite's odds are usually lower. Example — Team B's decimal odds are 1.80, fractional 4/5, and American -125. American minus odds mean you need to stake ৳125 to profit ৳100. On a ৳500 bet the total return would be ৳900 (profit ৳400).
On joy9, you can view and understand odds in all three formats through joy9 Bet.
Live in-play betting — odds change during the match
Beyond pre-match betting, joy9 offers live betting — odds update with every event as the match is in progress.
In cricket, a wicket falling or a big over during the powerplay moves odds immediately. If a team is behind in the last five overs of a T20 match, their odds lengthen — giving you a chance to enter a new market. In ODI, you can pick a live market based on how the situation looks after the 30th over.
In a Test match, when the pitch starts breaking up on day three or four, spinners gain more influence and the odds in the wicket market shift accordingly. In live betting, waiting patiently for the right moment is the key.

Beyond cricket — football and other sports
joy9 has betting markets not just for cricket but for football and other sports as well. However, the style of betting differs by sport.
In football, the Match Winner market has three outcomes — Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins. In T20/ODI cricket there is no draw, so the market is simpler. In Test cricket a draw is possible, so like football it also has three options.
In football, Over/Under on goals or the Both Teams to Score market are popular. The cricket equivalent would be Total Runs or the number of sixes. The main difference is that in cricket, pitch conditions, weather, and the state of the innings influence odds more heavily.
Cricket vs football betting — a brief comparison
- Match length: T20 takes a few hours, football 90 minutes — the pace of live markets differs.
- Draw result: Possible in football and Test cricket, not available in T20/ODI.
- Number of markets: Cricket has wickets, runs, overs — far more options.
- Weather impact: In cricket, rain or pitch conditions can stop play directly — odds reflect that.
- Multi Bet: You can mix markets from both sports to build a Multi Bet.
How combined odds are calculated in a Multi Bet
A Multi Bet (or accumulator) means combining multiple selections into a single bet. Multiplying the odds of each selection gives you the combined odds.
A worked example: Multi Bet with 3 selections
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (rounded)
If all selections are correct on a ৳100 bet, the return is ৳357. But if any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi Bets make betting more entertaining — but the more selections you add, the greater the risk. Consider each selection on its own merits.
Things to keep in mind
- Higher combined odds means a higher potential return.
- Losing one selection means losing the whole bet — that is part of the format.
- Betting is always for entertainment; there is no guaranteed profit.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
- Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test odds are structured differently — learn each one separately.
- Start with one market: Focus on the Match Winner market first, then move on to other markets.
- Set your budget first: Decide how much you will bet on a match before you start, and do not go beyond that.
- Be patient with live betting: Watch the first few overs, get a feel for the situation, then enter the market.
- Keep Multi Bets small: A two or three selection Multi Bet is manageable — with five or six selections, the risk increases considerably.
- Consider pitch and weather: In cricket, pitch type and weather can change the pace of a match — this has a direct effect on betting decisions.
- Compare odds: Decimal, Fractional and American — read the odds for the same match in all three formats at least once.
- Play responsibly: Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Read the responsible gaming policy.
- Know the rules: It is a good idea to read the Terms and Conditions before placing a bet.
