Cricket betting at jabi — bet at the best odds on every match in BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup
T20 to Test — bet across multiple markets in every format. Both pre-match and live in-play are available at jabi.
The three cricket formats and tournaments you can bet on
Much of the appeal of cricket betting depends on the format. T20 matches are fast-paced and the situation can change every over, while Test matches require following conditions patiently over five days. ODI, or one-day cricket, sits between the two — the picture can shift many times across fifty overs.
BPL is of special interest to cricket fans in Bangladesh. With familiar faces on the field in the country's franchise tournament, betting markets are far more active during that season. IPL brings the chance to bet while watching international stars play. For Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup and other ICC events, the number of markets available at jabi is notably higher.
The right approach to betting differs by format. In T20, the situation after the toss and the powerplay overs matter most. In Tests, pitch character and weather play a big role. In ODI, the scoring rate in the middle overs and batting in the final ten overs are important. jabi's platform offers separate markets for all three formats.
T20 Cricket
BPL · IPL · T20 World CupThe fastest format — odds can shift dramatically every over. The most popular format for in-play betting.
ODI Cricket
ICC · World Cup · Bilateral SeriesThe match picture can change repeatedly across 50 overs. All markets are active — from match winner to over/under.
Test Cricket
Five-Day SeriesPitch, weather and innings momentum — Test betting markets are analytical and long-term.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
At jabi you can bet on football as well as cricket. Because a football match can end in a draw, the betting market has three outcomes — home win, draw, and away win. In limited-overs cricket (T20 and ODI) there are generally no draws, so you choose between two outcomes — which makes calculating odds more straightforward.
Popular football markets include goalscorer, handicap, and both teams to score. In cricket, markets like top batsman, total wickets, or runs in a specific over are more common. The two betting experiences are naturally quite different as a result.
With a multi bet at jabi you can combine cricket and football selections on the same slip, but every selection must win — lose one and the entire bet is lost. For a completely different kind of entertainment outside betting, you can also play live casino games at jabi Casino.
Popular betting markets at jabi — where to bet in cricket
Each market calls for a different kind of prediction. The most commonly used markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Simplest marketPick which of the two teams will win. In T20 — team A or team B — if the team you backed wins, the bet is successful. With no draw possible, the choice is straightforward.
Toss Betting
T20 · ODIWhich team will win the toss before the match — odds on both options are usually close to equal in this market. The result is known before the match begins.
Top Batsman
Individual performanceWho will score the most runs for a given team — this market usually offers several options. Pitch conditions and batting order are relevant here.
Total Runs Over/Under
Scoreline betWill total runs in the match be above (over) or below (under) a set number — you pick one of the two. Pitch conditions and each team's batting strength are factors to consider.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bowling performanceWhich bowler will take the most wickets in the match — the balance of pace and spin and the opposition's weaknesses are important factors in this market.
Multi Bet
Multiple selectionsYou can combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections win, the odds multiply — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost. For example — 3 selections at 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (rounded) — a ৳100 bet pays ৳408 only if all win.
How to read odds — decimal, fractional and American
Odds are written in three different ways, but all three express the same probability. jabi generally uses the decimal format, which is the easiest to understand.
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 per ৳1 staked (including profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Profit of 2 units per 1 unit staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — betting on team A to win (৳200 stake)
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — betting on favourite team B to win
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200 (minus means you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit). Total return on a ৳200 stake is ৳300 (৳100 profit).
In the American format, a plus (+) sign means underdog — it shows how much profit a ৳100 bet would return. A minus (−) sign means favourite — it shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. All three formats simply express the same reality in different ways.
Limited-overs cricket matches generally do not end in a draw, so odds are split between two teams. The team less likely to win has higher odds — meaning a bigger return if they do win.
Understanding odds and setting your own budget before betting is important. Betting is a form of entertainment — staying within your limits is the right approach. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines is a good habit.
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. Every wicket, every maiden over, and every big shot affects the odds. When team A is batting comfortably, their odds of winning shorten — because the probability is rising. Three quick wickets can flip the situation entirely.
In a T20 match, losing quick wickets in the powerplay raises the chance of a lower total — this brings down the odds on the 'total runs under' market. On the other hand, if a strong batter is at the crease in the final overs, the chance of a higher score increases.
In live betting you have less time to decide — so it is worth looking at the market carefully before placing a bet and sticking to your budget. Live betting is convenient on the jabi mobile app — see jabi App details to find out more.
As overs pass, the run-rate pressure builds. If a team needs 60 runs off the last 5 overs in a 20-over match, their odds of winning can suddenly shorten. These moments keep in-play betting closely tied to the cricket.

Beyond traditional bookmaker betting, betting exchanges are becoming more popular. Here you can bet in two roles — BACK and LAY.
BACK bet: Say you back team A to win with a ৳1,000 bet at decimal odds of 1.80. If team A wins, you make ৳800 profit (before commission). If team A does not win, you lose ৳1,000.
LAY bet: In the same match you bet on team A to lose — you are essentially acting as the bookmaker. If the backer's stake is ৳1,000, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80). If team A does not win, you receive ৳1,000 (before commission); if team A wins, you pay out ৳800.
Exchange betting is a bit more complex, but for experienced bettors it is an interesting option. If you are interested in slots or other types of games, take a look at the slots section.
