999bet games Cricket — Bet on all matches from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Betting on Bangladesh's most popular sport is now available directly from mobile. Place bets across multiple markets including Match Winner, Toss and Top Batsman — with live in-play options too.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket has three distinct formats — T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test. The style of play differs in each, so the betting markets differ too.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in just 20 overs. Bet results also come quickly. Franchise tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in the T20 format, and these two leagues attract the most interest from Bangladeshi fans.
ODI gives each team 50 overs. Batting strategy, run scoring and the rate of wicket fall — all together it is a different rhythm of play compared to T20. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and ICC-organised tournaments always carry a distinct level of excitement.
Test cricket is the long five-day format. Innings margin, the possibility of a draw and pitch behaviour all play a role in betting markets here.
Which markets can you bet on?
Match Winner
Who will win between the two teams — this is the most straightforward market. Example: if you pick Team B in a match between Team A and Team B, you win the bet if Team B wins.
SimpleToss Result
You can also bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market — it has no connection to the match result.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. This market may count a single innings or the full match performance.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the runs scored will be more (Over) or less (Under) than a set number. Example: whether Team A will score more than 160 runs in the first innings.
StatisticsTop Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is quite popular in T20 and ODI, as the result becomes clear within the match.
BowlingMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct you win; if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost — but the potential return can be much higher.
High ReturnHow three types of odds formats work
Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Team B Win Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A wins (odds 2.50): A ৳200 bet returns ৳500 if you win (৳300 profit + original ৳200 stake). If you lose, ৳200 is gone. The same bet is 3/2 in Fractional and +150 in American — all three give the same result.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite (odds 1.80): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American odds figure tells you how much stake is needed to make ৳100 profit. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if you win (৳160 profit).
999bet games displays Decimal format by default as it is the easiest to calculate.
How football and other sports betting differs
Alongside cricket, football is also very popular in Bangladesh. At 999bet games football betting covers matches from the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and international tournaments.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is the possibility of a draw. Football has three outcomes — home win, away win or draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw (matches abandoned due to rain are settled under separate rules). In Test cricket a draw is possible, so there are also three outcomes.
Handicap betting is very common in football — a goal advantage is given to the weaker team to level the bet. Run handicap in cricket works for the same reason.
In addition, 999bet games offers betting on combat sports such as Muay Thai Champion, with separate markets for rounds and results.
Multi bets are relatively straightforward in cricket because each selection is the outcome of a specific match. Three selections with odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80 combine to give approximately 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all three win. However, if even one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
In-Play Betting — place bets while the match is on
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. In cricket this is especially useful because the odds shift after every over and every fallen wicket.
Say Team A loses two wickets in a row during the first powerplay — their win odds will rise immediately (meaning they are now the underdog) and the opposition's odds will fall. Betting at that moment of change creates a different kind of opportunity.
Live betting in Test cricket is even more varied — markets such as session result, runs in a specific over and the timing of the next wicket are available.
Live odds change fast, so check the market carefully before confirming a bet. The 999bet games app provides real-time updates, which helps with live betting.

A few practical tips before you start
- Choose one format: T20, ODI or Test — start by understanding one format well. Each format has a different game plan, so market behaviour differs too.
- Stick to a budget: Set aside a fixed amount and stay within that limit. It is better not to try recovering losses by placing larger bets after a loss.
- Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk. One wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. It is better to start with fewer selections.
- No rushing in in-play: Odds change fast in live betting. Look at the market carefully, then make your decision.
- Treat it as entertainment: Betting is for enjoyment, not as a source of income. Follow the Responsible Gaming guidelines and remember that casino and betting activities are for ages 21+.
- Learn multiple markets: Do not limit yourself to Match Winner — explore markets like Top Batsman or Over/Under as well.
