jitaace Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test Matches
From match winner to live in-play across BPL, IPL and international cricket — everything in one place about how cricket betting works at jitaace, which markets are most popular and what you need to know to read odds.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket is one of Bangladesh's most loved sports, and the betting approach differs across the three main formats. T20 matches are the shortest — just 20-over innings — so odds shift quickly and live betting is most active in this format. ODI, or One Day International, is a 50-over match, making over/under and top batsman markets popular during the middle overs. Test matches run for five days — a draw is a valid result here, so you can bet on three outcomes.
In terms of competitions, Bangladeshi cricket fans follow BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) most closely — the country's own T20 league. Interest in India's IPL and the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments also runs throughout the year. Betting markets for all these competitions are available at jitaace, with Bangladesh Tigers matches attracting the most bets.
Strategy varies by format — in T20, missing the powerplay overs can cause odds to shift dramatically; in ODI, the run rate during the middle overs matters; in Test cricket, in-play decisions are shaped by the pattern of wicket falls.
Football and Other Sports
jitaace is not limited to cricket — football is also a significant part of the offering. Interest in betting on the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga and international football tournaments is growing steadily in Bangladesh. Football has three possible match outcomes — home win, draw and away win — whereas T20 and ODI cricket have no draw.
The difference in betting is also clear in the format. Football is 90 minutes of continuous play and odds change relatively slowly. In cricket, odds update immediately after each over or when a wicket falls. Betting markets are also available on sports such as badminton, table tennis and kabaddi.
If you want to combine matches from multiple sports on a single slip, you can use the multi-bet feature — that page explains in detail how to place a bet with multiple selections together.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
These are the markets used most often for cricket betting at jitaace. Each one works a little differently.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — team A wins or team B wins. Example: team A odds 1.65, team B odds 2.30; a ৳1,000 bet on team B returns ৳2,300 if they win.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. The result does not depend on on-field performance, so odds are generally close for both teams.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. With multiple candidates, odds can be comparatively higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: line 160.5 runs — if you choose over, the innings must end on 161 runs or more.
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Both pace and spin bowlers are typically among the options.
Multi Bet
Adding multiple selections from multiple matches onto one slip multiplies the odds together, making the combined odds much higher. However, if any single selection loses, the entire bet is lost — higher risk, higher potential return.
How to Read Odds in Cricket Betting
Odds on a betting site can be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same result, just written differently. jitaace generally displays odds in decimal format, which is most familiar in Bangladesh.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Team A to win, stake ৳500. Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If you win, you get back ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — odds for the favourite
Team B to win — Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳500 stake returns ৳750 if you win (৳250 profit).
Working out the total return in decimal format is straightforward — stake × odds = total return. Odds cannot go below 1.00 because that would return less than the stake. A favourite's odds sit between 1 and 2; an underdog's odds are above 2.
Quick Guide to Reading Odds
- Decimal: Stake × odds = total return. 2.50 means ৳2.50 back for every ৳1 staked.
- Fractional: 3/2 means ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked, so ৳5 total return.
- American +: +150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake.
- American −: −200 means you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Moving with Wickets and Overs
You can still place bets after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket it is particularly useful because the momentum of the game can shift with every ball. If the batting team scores quickly in the first five overs, their chance of winning increases and the opposition's odds lengthen.
When a wicket falls — especially a key batsman — odds change within seconds. If the run rate per over is tracking above or below the target, that too is reflected in the odds in real time. In a T20 match, when the required run rate in the last five overs climbs to an unusually high level, the chasing team's odds rise quickly.
Decisions need to be made fast in live betting — odds do not stay the same for long. For that reason, understanding the match well and watching it closely matters. Remember, in-play betting is part of the entertainment — keep your budget in mind before each bet.

Multi Bet Across Multiple Matches
A multi bet is a way of placing a bet by combining multiple selections onto a single slip. For example, take three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 — the combined odds would be 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately), so a ৳100 stake would return ৳399 — but only if all three selections win; if one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will put into betting each month and do not go beyond that limit. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
- Know the format before you bet: Betting markets and the pace at which odds move differ between T20 and Test matches — get to know the characteristics of each format first.
- Keep to one or two markets: Rather than betting on many markets in every match, focus on one or two specific markets.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change quickly, so take a moment to think before making a decision. Keep a clear head when placing bets.
- Do not increase stakes after a loss: Avoid the temptation to place a larger bet to recover a loss — this is the most common mistake.
- Responsible gaming: If you have any concerns about your betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines and make use of the support available.
