Something to keep in mind
Decimal odds are the easiest to read — multiply the number directly to get the total return. This format is a convenient starting point for new bettors.

Cricket formats and favourite tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a passion. Whether it is a BPL night match or the excitement of IPL, or any international tour by the Tigers — every match sparks new conversation. joya 777 connects that passion with the betting experience.
Cricket is played in three main formats — each with its own characteristics and betting approach:
T20
The fastest format, with odds shifting every over. BPL and IPL are played in this format.
ODI
50-over matches — major tournaments including the T20 World Cup are held in this format.
Test
Five-day cricket — a test of patience and analysis, with more betting markets available.
BPL is Bangladesh's biggest franchise tournament — the mix of local and overseas stars makes it a particular point of interest in the betting community. IPL's global appeal and international events like the ICC T20 World Cup provide betting opportunities throughout the year.
Alongside cricket, joya 777 offers football and several other sports markets. Football has three possible outcomes (home win, draw, away win) — limited-overs cricket has no draw, so only two outcomes apply. In Test cricket, a draw is a separate betting option. Understanding these differences across sports helps when choosing betting markets.
Popular betting markets
There are opportunities to bet on every aspect of a match. The markets below are the most commonly used in cricket betting.
Match winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. Example: between team A and team B, you choose team A.
Simple All formatsToss winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. It has no connection to the match result — a small, standalone bet.
Pre-matchTop batsman
Which batsman in a team will score the most runs. Separate markets are usually available for each team.
Team-based T20 popularTotal runs over / under
A bet on whether the total runs after a set number of overs will be above or below a given number. Example: will team A score more or less than 70 runs in the first 10 overs.
NumericalMulti bet
Placing multiple selections together on a bet slip to form a single bet. You receive a full return only if all selections win. Example: choosing 3 teams across three matches multiplies the odds.
Higher return Higher riskTop wicket taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or across the whole match. Popular in both T20 and ODI.
Bowling specialIn a multi bet with multiple selections, all must win — one loss means the entire bet is lost. Read the FAQ for details.
How to read odds
Odds in betting are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just presented differently.
| Format | Odds for team A to win | Return on ৳1,000 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳2,500 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake |
| American | +150 | ৳1,500 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
Example 1: decimal odds of 2.50 for team A to win means a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000). The same odds written in fractional form are 3/2 and in American form +150. If the bet loses, you lose ৳1,000.
| Format | Odds for team B to win (favourite) | Return on ৳1,000 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | ৳1,250 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳250 profit + ৳1,000 stake |
| American | -400 | ৳400 needed to win ৳100 |
Example 2: team B is the favourite, odds 1.25 — a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 in total if you win (৳250 profit). American minus odds (-400) show that ৳400 must be wagered to make ৳100 profit — a familiar sign of the favourite.
Live Betting
Odds shift when a wicket falls — live in-play betting
Betting while a match is in progress is called live in-play betting. In T20, every over, every wicket and every big hit has an immediate effect on the odds.
Example: if team A loses 2 quick wickets in the powerplay, team B's odds of winning may shorten — because the data shows teams losing wickets quickly are often under pressure. Similarly, if team A needs 18 runs off the last over, team B's chances of winning are considerably higher — and the odds reflect that.
Live betting in Test cricket is more complex — pitch conditions, weather and each session all shift the odds. You can see the latest odds during a match in the joya 777 Bet section.
- Bets can be placed after the match has started
- Odds update according to wickets and overs
- Opportunity to make decisions based on how the match is unfolding
- Live betting across all formats — T20, ODI and Test
Stay smart with betting — some useful tips
01
Set a budget first
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Betting is for entertainment — go in prepared to accept a loss before you start.
02
Do not put all bets on one match
Instead of placing your entire budget on a single match, split it into several smaller bets. This keeps the risk spread out.
03
Understand the market properly
Before betting on a new market, read the rules carefully. A toss bet and a match bet are completely different — do not confuse the two.
04
Do not rush in live betting
Placing large bets quickly in the heat of the moment can lead to losses. Make each decision calmly.
05
Follow the responsible gaming guidelines
Read joya 777's responsible gaming guidelines to keep betting enjoyable. Use the limit-setting tools available.
Betting is entertainment — it is not a guaranteed way to earn money. Always play within your means. For ages 21+.

Test matches generally offer the most markets — each innings, each session and the draw possibility create separate markets. T20 has fewer markets but odds change quickly, making live betting more popular there. ODI sits in the middle — the longer duration gives more opportunity to read the flow of the game.
In a multi bet, if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: if you bet on three matches and one result is wrong, there is no return even if the other two win. That is why multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk.
Yes, live in-play betting can be placed at any point during a match — though certain markets may be temporarily suspended at specific moments (such as while the ball is in the air). Odds update instantly when a wicket falls or a powerplay begins.
In football, bets are placed on three outcomes — home win, draw and away win. In T20 and ODI cricket there are no draws, so only two outcomes. In Test cricket a draw is possible, giving three outcomes. Cricket also has many bowling and batting specific markets that football does not.
American minus odds indicate the favourite — the team considered more likely to win. -400 means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. Example: if team B's odds are -400 and you bet ৳1,000 and win, you receive ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit).
