Cricket Betting at joy99 — enjoy every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is more than a sport — it is Bangladesh's passion. joy99 offers betting on T20, ODI and Test matches across a range of markets. Football and other sports are also available on the platform.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
T20
T20 is the fastest format — matches finish in just a few hours with 20 overs per side. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the biggest stages for this format. Rapidly changing scores and wickets make it ideal for live betting.
ODI
In One Day International (ODI) cricket each team plays 50 overs. The Cricket World Cup and most bilateral series matches are played in ODI format. The longer gameplay means more markets and opportunities for session-based betting.
Test
Five-day Test cricket is the highest form of the game. Conditions can shift in every session, which makes betting patterns different. A draw is a possible result in Tests — unlike T20 or ODI — and that is what sets Test betting apart.
BPL is the tournament closest to Bangladeshi fans — matches are played at venues including Dhaka and Chattogram, with local stars alongside overseas players. The Bangladesh Tigers' matches in IPL and international series also draw special interest at joy99.
Betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, joy99 also offers betting on football and several other sports. Football matches run 90 minutes with possibilities including draws and penalty shootouts, making the markets different in nature from cricket. Where wickets and runs are the core units in cricket, events like goals and corner kicks are at the centre of football betting.
Sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi have different match structures — markets are built around sets, games or points. Each sport has its own pace and betting approach, so it helps to focus on the sport you know best.

Popular betting markets and examples
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. T20 and ODI have two possible results; Tests also include a draw. Example: in a limited-overs match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team A and Team A wins, your bet is successful.
EasiestToss Betting
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result depends entirely on the coin toss — completely random. Many bettors use this market as a warm-up.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. Considering the team's batting order and pitch conditions makes this market more interesting.
Skill-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: total runs in the first innings over or under 160 — consider the pitch, weather and the team's batting strength before choosing.
AnalyticalMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet to increase the potential return. Example: picking three teams across three separate matches multiplies all three odds together — if all three win the return is much higher, but if one fails the entire bet is lost.
High riskInnings by Innings
Which team will score more runs in the first or second innings, how many runs will be scored in the first 6-over powerplay — these smaller markets allow you to bet while the match is unfolding.
Live-friendlyHow to read odds
Odds are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs. See the comparison below:
Easy guide to understanding odds
Decimal 2.50 — multiply your stake by 2.5 to get the total return.
Fractional 3/2 — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked.
American -200 — you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.
Example 1: Team A's odds are decimal 2.50 — a ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳500 if you win, which includes ৳300 profit and your ৳200 original stake. If you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2: Team B is the favourite at decimal odds of 1.50. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 — meaning only ৳100 profit. In American format this is written as -200, meaning you must bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.
Live in-play betting
Betting in real time while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. Odds change in an instant after each wicket or big six — that is what makes in-play betting different.
Say Team A loses 2 wickets quickly in the first 5 overs — Team B's odds will drop immediately because Team B has the advantage. Then if Team A scores heavily in the next over, the odds may level out again.
Reading the situation at the end of the powerplay, in the middle overs or in the death overs and then making your decision is the key appeal of live betting. Keep in mind though — odds change fast, so make sure you understand the markets beforehand.
Live betting can be done from anywhere via the joy99 app. The joy99 app makes it easy to follow a match on the go or during a break.
A few practical tips before betting
Start with one market
Rather than placing bets across all markets straight away, pick a simple one like match winner or toss. Move to other markets gradually as you gain experience.
Stick to your budget
Set a fixed amount for each session and do not go beyond it. Betting is a form of entertainment — it should not be treated as a source of income.
Strategy varies by format
In T20, late-innings batting matters a lot; in Tests, pitch conditions and weather play a role. Each format has its own pace.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. If any one of multiple selections is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so start with fewer selections.
Play responsibly
If betting ever becomes a source of stress, stop. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and set your own limits.
Remember
Betting is a form of entertainment. Use it to add to your enjoyment of cricket matches.

Cricket match winner — odds example
In a limited-overs match with decimal odds, Team A is at 1.65 and Team B at 2.30. A ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns a total of ৳2,300 if Team B wins — including ৳1,300 profit. If Team A wins, the full ৳1,000 is lost.
Multi bet example: three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 — combined: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳428 — but all three selections must win. If one fails, the full ৳100 is lost.
The teams in the examples are labelled "Team A" and "Team B" — these are for illustration only and do not refer to any specific team. Betting returns are not guaranteed and match results are always uncertain.
