The Three Cricket Formats and Their Betting Differences
The first thing to understand in cricket betting is the format — because the style of play differs across formats, and the available markets change accordingly.
T20 — The fastest format. Every ball matters in a 20-over match. Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in this format. Markets shift quickly — it is the most popular format for in-play betting.
ODI — Strategy plays a bigger role in 50-over matches. The Bangladesh Tigers play differently in ODIs, so market analysis also differs. The T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series fall under this format.
Test — In a five-day match, a draw is a valid result. Markets like match winner, innings total and series winner are most common here. Draw markets are not available in T20 or ODI.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting is not limited to just "who will win" — betting across different markets lets you follow the match more closely.
Match Winner
SimplestTeam A or Team B — pick one of the two. Example: if you back Team B at odds of 1.80, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if they win (৳800 profit).
Toss Winner
Before the MatchWhich side wins the toss — a straightforward market. Betting closes before the match starts, so place your bet in time.
Top Batsman
Innings-BasedWho will score the most runs for a given side in a specific innings — this market is about an individual player's performance.
Total Runs Over/Under
Number-BasedWill the runs scored be above or below a set number (such as 160) — this market requires you to predict the combined performance of both sides.
Multi Bet
High RiskCombine multiple selections together — each set of odds is multiplied to form the final odds. You need to win every selection to receive the full payout.
Innings Winner
Test and ODIWhich team scores more runs in a specific innings — this market is very popular in Test and ODI betting. Each innings offers a separate betting opportunity.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds on betting sites are displayed in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, you lose ৳1,000. |
| Fractional | 3/2 | |
| American | +150 |
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
| Format | Team B Win Odds | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins (৳800 profit). In American format, a minus sign means how much you need to bet to win ৳100. |
| Fractional | 4/5 | |
| American | -125 |
At joya best, odds for the same match are shown in all three formats. Choose the format you prefer.
In-Play Betting During the Match
You can still place bets after the match has started — that is the main appeal of in-play betting. Odds change in real time when a wicket falls, after the powerplay ends, or following a rain break.
Say Team A is scoring quickly in the first 6 overs of a T20 — at that moment Team A's odds will shorten because they are ahead. On the other hand, if Team B suddenly takes two wickets, their odds will come down.
In in-play betting, decisions need to be made quickly. The situation can change within a single over, so you need to keep your eye on the match before placing a bet.
- Make decisions based on live score updates — it takes a few seconds for a bet to be confirmed.
- Odds are determined by a combination of wickets, run rate and remaining overs.
- Using the joya best App on your mobile, you can place bets from anywhere while the match is in progress.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Bet with the format in mind: The last 5 overs matter a lot in T20. In ODI, pitch conditions change around the 30–40 over mark. In Test, the pitch behaves very differently on day five.
- Split your markets: Rather than putting everything on one market, splitting your bet between match winner and total runs gives you more varied experience.
- Stick to a budget: Set a fixed amount for each match. If you lose one match, it is better not to try to recover by betting more on the next one.
- Keep multi bet selections low: Adding more than 3–4 selections reduces the chance of winning all of them. A smaller multi bet is safer.
- Betting is for entertainment: Cricket betting is a way to stay engaged with the match, not a guaranteed route to profit. For more on playing responsibly, read the responsible gaming page.
- No rushing in live betting: Wait for the right moment in in-play. There is no obligation to bet from the very first ball.
