Jeetway bet: cricket and sports betting

Cricket betting

How a cricket market works depends on the format of the match:

Twenty20 (T20)

20 overs per side, about three and a half hours. Most markets settle the same day, and the pace suits live betting. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and most franchise leagues use this format.

One Day International (ODI)

50 overs per side over a full day, with more time for markets on innings totals and individual performances.

Test cricket

Up to five days, two innings per side, and a draw is a possible result. Markets can run session by session.

Besides Tests, ODIs and T20 internationals, the sportsbook also covers domestic T20, T10, The Hundred and women's cricket.

Open Sports and you'll see a tab for each betting provider: Cricket, 9Wickets, BTI, SABA, SBO, CMD368, SV388, Horsebook, RWB and Pinnacle. Each tab opens that provider's own markets, all paid from the same BDT balance.

Cricket competitions

The main leagues and tournaments on the cricket pages:

The live cricket section also lists smaller domestic and regional events, for example South Africa Cup Pro20, India Jain Premier League, Pakistan MPL Jamat Based League, Agra District Women's League, Akluj Rural Championship and Chandigarh League. These change from week to week.

Cricket betting markets

Which markets are open depends on the match. Bigger fixtures usually carry the longest list.

Match winner

Pick the team that wins the match. Some matches also offer a draw or tie price.

Top batsman

Choose the player who scores the most runs for their team.

Top bowler

Choose the player who takes the most wickets for their team.

Total runs over/under

Bet on whether the match total ends above or below the line set by the sportsbook.

Innings total runs

The same over/under idea for one team's innings.

Fall of first wicket

Bet on the score at which the first wicket falls.

Method of first dismissal

Caught, bowled, LBW, run out or stumped: choose how the first batter is out.

Player performance specials

Markets on an individual player's runs, wickets or other match statistics.

Live betting and pre-match odds

Pre-match bets are placed before the first ball, at the odds shown when you confirm the slip.

In-play (live) markets stay open during the match and the odds change as it unfolds. They are suspended for a moment after wickets, boundaries and other key events, and bets placed after a market should have closed are void.

Football and tennis betting

• Football
• Tennis

Football markets settle on normal time, meaning 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs only count where the market says so, and a match that doesn't start by 23:59 local time on the scheduled day is void unless it is played within 3 days.

Tennis bets settle on the official result. If a player withdraws or is disqualified before the match ends, bets on that market are void unless the market rules give another settlement method.

How to place a bet

1. Log in and open Sports from the menu.
2. Pick a match from the competition list or the live section.
3. Tap the odds for the outcome you want. The selection is added to your bet slip.
4. Enter your stake in BDT. The slip shows the potential return before you confirm.
5. Confirm the bet. Open bets and settled bets are listed in your betting history.

How decimal odds work

Odds are shown in decimal format by default. With decimal odds, the potential return is your stake multiplied by the odds: a ৳500 stake at 1.80 returns ৳900, which is ৳400 profit plus your stake. Lower odds mean the outcome is considered more likely.

Cricket betting rules

The Jeetway sportsbook rules decide how bets are settled when a match doesn't go to plan. The main cricket rules:

• One legal ball. Bets stand only if at least one legal ball is bowled.
• Rain-affected matches are settled using the official method, normally the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern (DLS) method.
• ODI and T20 "No Result": bets are void unless the market says otherwise.
• Test matches not completed within five days: unsettled bets are void; markets already decided stand.
• Late bets: bets placed after a market should have been suspended (for example after the start of play) are void.

General settlement rules

• Markets settle on the official result from the governing body; corrections can be applied within 24 hours.
• Events not completed within three days of the scheduled end are void.
