Cricket Betting at 999bet — Best Markets for T20, ODI and BPL
Follow Bangladesh's favourite sport even more closely. Bet on various cricket formats at 999bet — from Match Winner to Top Batsman, live betting to multi bets.
Three Cricket Formats — Which One Should You Bet On?
One of the biggest draws of cricket betting is that the sport is played across three distinct formats, and the betting approach is a little different for each.
T20: The fastest and most entertaining format. Odds shift very quickly in a twenty-over match. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the two most popular T20 competitions. The T20 World Cup carries extra pull for those who want to back the Bangladesh Tigers on the international stage.
ODI (One-Day International): Fifty-over matches move at a comparatively slower pace, so betting strategy differs. Markets like Top Batsman or Over/Under runs are quite popular in ODIs.
Test Cricket: Five-day matches — here a draw is a possible result, so odds are split three ways. Changes in pitch and weather over the long duration affect the odds.
BPL and Domestic Tournaments
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the country's biggest T20 competition. It is a franchise tournament featuring domestic teams — both fan passion and betting activity run high.
T20 LeagueIPL and International Leagues
India's IPL is the most-watched T20 league in the world. Packed with top performers, this competition draws attention from bettors worldwide.
InternationalICC Tournaments
T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, and the World Cup — interest in betting around the Bangladesh Tigers' performance in these ICC events is the highest across the country.

Football and Other Sports — Betting Beyond Cricket
Besides cricket, 999bet also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton, and several other sports. From a betting perspective, there are some important differences between cricket and football.
In football, every match has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This three-way market means the odds on each result are slightly lower. In T20 and ODI cricket there is no draw, so the market is limited to two outcomes.
Football offers special markets like half-time score, both teams to score (BTTS), or correct scoreline. Cricket has its own equivalents — number of wickets, partnership runs, or powerplay score. The structure of each sport is different, so it is worth understanding the rules of a market before placing a bet.
Before betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines — staying within your budget is the best approach.
5 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Understanding which market to bet on is the first step in cricket betting. Below are the most common markets and a brief example of each.
Decimal, Fractional, and American — Three Odds Formats
Odds in cricket betting at 999bet can be displayed in three ways. All three express the same probability — the only difference is how they are presented. Below, all three formats are explained using a single example.
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳1,000
| Format | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Returns ৳2,500 if it wins (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Same calculation — ৳2,500 total return |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake; returns ৳2,500 if it wins; ৳1,000 lost if it loses |
Example 2 — Favourite Team B wins, stake ৳1,000
| Format | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Returns ৳1,800 if it wins (৳800 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Same calculation — ৳1,800 total return |
| American | -125 | Minus means favourite — a ৳125 stake is needed to win ৳100 profit |
In American format, "+" means underdog (more profit on a ৳100 stake) and "–" means favourite (more stake needed for less profit). Decimal format is the easiest to calculate.
Multi Bet Example (3 Selections)
Say you pick three matches with odds of 1.40, 1.70, and 1.80. Multiply them together: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳428 in total — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets are exciting, but the risk is higher. Betting is for entertainment — no method guarantees a win.
LIVE In-Play Betting — Odds Change Over by Over
With 999bet's live betting feature, you can place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every over and every wicket can shift the entire market.
If quick wickets fall in the powerplay, the batting team's Match Winner odds rise. On the other hand, when a big partnership builds, the run target looks more secure and the odds come down. Odds are recalculated after every ball.
There is very little time to decide during in-play betting. Following the match situation beforehand makes it easier to understand how the market is moving. Betting is a form of entertainment — outcomes are never certain.

Some Useful Tips Before You Start Cricket Betting
-
Start with one format. T20, ODI, and Test each have different rules. Focus on one format first, then move to the others gradually.
-
Read the market terms. In a Top Batsman market, if a player does not bat, the bet may be voided — it is worth knowing these conditions in advance.
-
Set a budget. Decide the maximum amount you will stake before each session. It is better not to try to recover losses by placing extra bets.
-
Compare odds. Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Markets tend to be deeper in major tournaments, so there are more options available.
-
Be careful with multi bets. Adding many selections increases the potential return, but one wrong pick loses the entire slip. Keeping it to 2–3 selections is safer.
-
Betting is entertainment, not a livelihood. Cricket betting is for enjoyment — there is no guarantee of winning any bet. If you have a problem, visit the responsible gaming page.
Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
- There is no draw in T20/ODI cricket — there is in football.
- Over/Under markets in cricket are run-based; in football they are goal-based.
- In cricket, pitch conditions affect the odds; in football, weather affects the pitch.
- In Test cricket, markets stay open for five days — odds change many times.
- Live markets for both sports are available for betting at 999bet.
