Compare Jaya9 betting odds and work out your stake returns

Three formats, one price

Format meanings

Decimal minus one equals Hong Kong, and a negative Malay price is one divided by the Hong Kong price with a minus sign, so -0.50 means you stake 0.50 to win 1.00. Positive Malay prices are a separate case for odds below evens: +0.50 is profit per unit staked, equal to decimal 1.50, so BDT 1,000 returns BDT 1,500.

Usage and settings

Bangladeshi players mostly use decimal, and every example on Jaya9's own promotion cards and help pages is written in decimal too, so the format is worth learning even if you grew up with Malay prices. Switch the format in settings and the whole sportsbook redraws.

Decimal returns

Stake and price math

The return equals the amount wagered times the decimal price, including the original stake. BDT 500 at 2.02 returns BDT 1,010, of which BDT 510 is profit.

Favourite and long shot

BDT 200 at 1.50 returns BDT 300, which is the kind of price you see on a strong favourite in a T20 league match and the kind of return that adds up slowly. BDT 1,000 at 6.00 returns BDT 6,000, a profit of BDT 5,000 on a selection the market considers a long shot.

Slip totals and profit

The bet slip shows the total return before you confirm, and that figure is what lands in the balance if the bet wins. Profit is return minus stake, and that is the number to compare across prices. Two bets of BDT 100 at 1.50 return BDT 300 in total, a profit of BDT 100, if both win, and one bet of BDT 200 at 2.00 returns BDT 400, a profit of BDT 200, so splitting a stake across short prices halves the upside without removing the risk. The slip rounds to the nearest paisa.

Implied probability and margin

Divide 1 by the decimal price and multiply by 100 to get the implied probability. Odds of 2.00 imply 50%, odds of 1.50 imply 66.7%, odds of 6.00 imply 16.7%. Add up the implied probabilities of every outcome in a market and the total comes to more than 100%; the excess is the bookmaker's margin. A two-way market at 1.90 and 1.90 implies 52.6% each, a total of 105.3% and a margin of about 5%. Lower margins mean better prices for you, and the exchange usually runs tighter than the sportsbook on big cricket matches.

Lay odds and liability

On the cricket exchange you can lay an outcome, which means betting that it will not happen. Your liability is calculated by taking the lay stake and multiplying it by one less than the odds. Lay BDT 1,000 at 3.00 and you win BDT 1,000 if the team loses but pay BDT 2,000 if they win. Lay at 1.50 and the liability drops to BDT 500. The slip shows liability in red before you confirm, so read that number as well as the stake. Laying at short prices means a small liability for a return equal to the stake, and laying at long prices means a large liability for the same return, so the liability figure deserves a second look every time.

Accumulators

An accumulator multiplies the decimal prices of every selection. Three legs at 1.80, 2.00 and 1.50 give combined odds of 5.40, so BDT 500 returns BDT 2,700 if all three win. One loser and the whole bet loses. The implied margin compounds with each leg, which is why accumulators pay less than they appear to. Two or three legs on prices you actually rate is a sensible ceiling for most players, and a single bet at 2.00 is usually a better use of the same BDT 500 than a six-leg accumulator built on hope. Each extra leg roughly adds another margin to the total. Jaya9 settles accumulators when the last leg finishes, and a void leg is removed with the price recalculated from the remaining legs.

Odds in play

Live prices move after each ball and goal, and the slip may ask you to confirm a revised price before placing the bet, a step covered on the live betting page. Cash-out offers are simply the current value of your bet at the new odds. The football page shows 1X2, handicap and totals prices with BDT examples.
