The toss is the first thing settled in any cricket match, and it is also the easiest market to misjudge. This page explains toss winner and toss combination, sets them beside match betting, and shows how to read the price before you stake anything.
JeetBuzz lists three cricket markets among its most popular: toss winner, toss combination and match betting. In a bookmaker market you bet against the sportsbook at the price shown, rather than against another player. Toss winner asks only which captain calls correctly. Toss combination adds the decision to bat or bowl first, so the same coin flip now has four possible outcomes. Neither market tells you anything about the quality of the teams, which is why many careful bettors keep stakes on them very small.
Choosing between them is a question of how much you know and how long you want your stake tied up. The cards below describe what each one rewards.
A simple two-outcome coin flip is usually priced close to evens, so the price says little about who will win the match. There is little to research, so treat it as a light entertainment bet rather than a strategy.
You name the toss winner and whether they bat or bowl. Venue habits, dew and pitch reports help with the second call, though they never make it certain.
You back one side to win the game. Squad news, recent form, conditions and the format all matter, and the market stays open long after the toss.
Placing a toss slip and a match slip on the same game doubles your exposure to one fixture. Add up both stakes before deciding how much is too much.
Odds are the price of an outcome and they carry the sportsbook's margin. The format shown on the slip is the one that counts, so look at it before you confirm. The notes below apply to any cricket market.
A lower number means the sportsbook thinks the outcome is more likely, and so it pays less. A long price pays more but happens less often.
Multiply the stake by the odds shown, in the format the slip uses. At 2.50, a 10-unit stake returns 25 units, which is 15 units of profit once the 10-unit stake is taken out.
Team news, weather and the toss itself change prices. The price on the slip when you confirm is the one that applies to that bet.
If you add up the chance implied by every outcome, the total is above 100 per cent. That gap is the book's cut, and it is why long-run results lean against bettors.
JeetBuzz states that it runs a 24/7 customer support team. If a slip settles in a way you did not expect, ask rather than assume.
Note the fixture, the market, the price, the stake and the time. Specific details get faster answers than a general complaint.
Use the 24/7 support team for settlement queries and ask which rule the market followed.
JeetBuzz says players who cannot reach support can email info@jeetbuzz.com. Never include your password in a message.
The market names above come from the sportsbook's own help material. Everything else is general betting knowledge, kept cautious on purpose.
The help material does not list which tournaments are offered, so this site names none. Look at the sportsbook for the fixtures currently listed.
Nobody can beat the coin toss, and few bettors beat a margin over a long run. Expect to lose over time and stake accordingly.
You must be 18 or older. JeetBuzz may ask for proof of age and can suspend an account until it is supplied.
This site does not say online betting is legal where you live. That check is yours to make before you register.
Short definitions of the terms that appear beside cricket markets.
A bet on which captain wins the coin flip. There are two outcomes, and it settles as soon as the toss is made.
A bet that joins the toss winner with the decision to bat or bowl first. Both parts must be correct for the slip to win.
The toss winner chooses whether their side bats first or fields first. Conditions on the day usually drive that choice.
A bet on which side wins the game. It settles when the result is official and follows the market's own rules for ties or abandonment.
The amount you risk on a single slip. It is the most you can lose on that bet.
A market where you bet against the sportsbook at its price. It differs from the exchange, where players bet against each other and commission is charged on net winnings.
Answers to what newcomers tend to ask before they place a first slip.
Register, fund the account with a sum you can afford to lose, open the cricket section, pick a market, check the odds and your stake, then confirm. Keep the first stake small.
It is simple, but it offers no real edge. Use it to learn how a slip works, with a stake you would not miss.
You can place separate slips, but doing so guarantees a loss on one of them and the margin takes a cut of the other. It is rarely sensible.
Open the sportsbook from the site menu, which lists a Sports section, then choose cricket from the available sports.
No. The exchange is peer to peer and charges commission on net winnings in each market. This page covers bookmaker markets only.
Stop for the day. If it keeps happening, talk to someone you trust and ask the support team what options exist for taking a break.
