jilievo Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet across multiple markets — Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman and more — in Test, ODI and T20 formats. During live in-play betting, odds update as each over progresses. Everything in one place.
Why cricket is the most popular betting sport in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a game — it is a feeling. When the Tigers take the field, eyes are glued to radios and phone screens in every home. jilievo lets you bet while watching the match, in any format and any tournament.
From BPL night matches to ICC T20 World Cup group stage games — betting markets are open for every match. Odds change from moment to moment, so placing a bet at the right time is a considered decision.
Beyond cricket, jilievo Bet also offers betting on football, tennis and other sports — though cricket remains the most discussed among Bangladeshi users.
Three formats — three different betting experiences
Each cricket format plays differently, so the betting markets differ too. Knowing what to expect from each format makes decisions easier.
T20 — the fastest format
Every ball counts in this 20-over format. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three competitions followed most closely by Bangladeshi fans. Odds move fast, making live betting particularly engaging in this format.
ODI — the fifty-over contest
In 50-over ODIs, the match can turn at any moment. In ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series ODI betting, the Total Runs Over/Under and Top Batsman markets are especially popular.
Test — the five-day challenge
In five-day Test cricket, the Match Winner market has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. That third option does not exist in ODI or T20, so the odds work differently.
Major tournaments
BPL: The Bangladesh Premier League takes place every winter, and with local teams competing, it draws the highest level of fan interest.
IPL: India's T20 league is widely followed in Bangladesh too. The presence of big-name players keeps betting markets active for every match.
International matches: The ICC T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and bilateral series naturally attract the most attention when the Bangladesh Tigers are playing.
How football and other sports betting differs
Besides cricket, jilievo also offers betting on football, badminton and tennis. Bangladeshi users show a keen interest in the English Premier League and the FIFA World Cup. However, there are some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting markets.
Football typically has three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. This three-way structure makes the odds different from T20/ODI cricket, which usually has just two outcomes. Test cricket does allow a draw, so it is closer to football in that respect.
In tennis, you can bet on each set and game, which is just as dynamic as per-wicket or per-over live betting in cricket. Those interested in casino games can find live casino and slots at jilievo Casino.
Cricket vs Football Betting
Number of outcomes
2 in T20/ODI (no draw), 3 in Test, usually 3 in football.
Variety in live markets
In cricket, odds change with every wicket, over and powerplay.
Duration
Test lasts five days, T20 around three hours — football is 90 minutes.
Popular betting markets and examples
Each market calls for a different approach and level of attention. Below are seven main markets.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. There is no draw in T20/ODI, so you pick one of two options. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A will win, bet on them at that odds.
Toss Betting
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this is completely separate from the match result. You can take part in this market even if you are less certain about the outcome. The odds for both teams are usually equal or close.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a team in the match — this market lists odds for several batsmen. Bet on the player you think is most likely to score the highest.
Total Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — for example, 160 runs in an innings. You bet on whether the total will go over or stay under that number. Knowledge of the pitch conditions and wicket situation helps when deciding.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple selections multiplies the odds together. Example: pick three selections across three separate matches — you only receive the full return if all selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
Powerplay Runs Over/Under
A number is set for how many runs a team will score in the first six overs (the powerplay). If the team bats aggressively, go Over; if they play cautiously, go Under — that is the basic approach.
Betting Exchange — BACK and LAY
In regular betting you play against the bookmaker. In an exchange you play against other users — BACK means betting that a team will win, LAY means betting that a team will not win. Example: if you BACK Team A and they lose, your stake is gone; if you LAY Team A and they do not win, you profit.
Odds are written in three formats — how to read them
The same odds can be written in decimal, fractional or American format. All three convey the same information — only the presentation differs.
| Format | Odds on Team A winning | Return on ৳200 stake | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳600 | ৳400 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳600 | ৳400 |
| American | +200 | ৳600 | ৳400 |
In the example above, Team A's winning odds in three formats — Decimal 3.00, Fractional 2/1 and American +200. A ৳200 stake returns ৳600 in total if Team A wins (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake); if Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Understanding favourite odds
Team B's winning odds: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400.
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
A ৳200 stake on Team B winning returns ৳250 in total (৳50 profit) — the profit is lower because they are the favourite, but they are considered more likely to win.
When a wicket falls, odds shift — how live betting works
In live or in-play betting, you place bets while the match is in progress. Odds update instantly after every wicket, boundary or dot ball. If Team A makes a strong start, their odds of winning shorten — meaning they are now the favourite.
In T20, if the batting team suddenly loses three wickets after the 15th over, odds can flip quickly. Watching the situation carefully in those moments makes it easier to judge where to place a bet.

Impact of wickets
When a top-order batsman is dismissed, the batting team's odds lengthen — the system considers them to be in a weaker position.
Change with each over
In the final five overs, if the batting team needs a lot of runs and it looks unlikely, the fielding team's odds shorten.
Betting pause
In some live markets, betting pauses briefly just before a ball is delivered — this is normal and happens on all platforms.
Things to keep in mind before betting
Betting is entertainment — winning is not guaranteed, and you should only take part prepared to lose. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience better.
Set a fixed budget
Only set aside money you can afford to lose. Placing larger bets to recover losses is not a good habit.
Focus on one market
Rather than spreading bets across many markets at once, focusing on one gives you a clearer picture of what is happening.
Multi bets carry higher risk
Multi bets increase the odds, but if all selections are not correct you lose the entire stake. With three selections at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 — a ৳100 stake returns ৳381 if all are correct, but one wrong selection means losing the full ৳100.
Bet responsibly
Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income. To learn more about responsible betting, read the Responsible Gaming page.
Know the rules and terms
It is worth reading the platform's terms before you start betting — especially the conditions attached to bonuses.
