Rashed Hossain teaches mathematics at a private school in Sylhet. His natural affinity for numbers got him thinking — could statistics actually give you an edge in cricket betting? Searching for that answer led him straight to jili9's analytics section.
"I treat cricket like a math problem. Every match has variables — pitch, weather, team form, toss decision. jili9's data helps me make sense of those variables."
— Rashed Hossain, Sylhet
Rashed started preparing two weeks before the IPL season kicked off. He tracked home and away stats for each team over the past two seasons, monitored the form of top batsmen and bowlers, and noted scoring patterns by venue. Then he got on jili9 and started placing bets on carefully selected markets.
Which markets did Rashed bet on?
Rather than focusing on match winners, Rashed paid closer attention to specific markets like total runs, first innings score, and top run-scorer. In his view, these markets are more influenced by statistics and carry less uncertainty.
These kinds of specialized markets are easy to find on jili9. You can place bets both before the match and while it's live. Rashed would typically watch the first five overs of an innings before making his call on live betting.
What He Achieved in Seven Weeks
Across seven weeks of the IPL season, Rashed placed a total of 43 bets and won 28 of them — a success rate of around 65%. His net ROI came to +54%, making it his best IPL season in five years. By accumulating VIP points on jili9, he moved up to Gold tier and is now setting his sights on Platinum next season.
