Cricket Betting at 999bd — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
The best markets for Bangladesh's most popular sport, all in one place. Bet across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test. From live in-play betting to toss, top batsman and over/under — find every market at 999bd.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
Understanding the format is important before getting into cricket betting. T20 is the fastest format — each team gets just 20 overs, scores shift quickly and the result stays uncertain right to the last over. Betting markets are most active in this format, as odds shift with every wicket or big shot.
In ODI or One Day International matches, the 50-over game gives more opportunity to make betting decisions in the middle stages. If a team's run rate is high in the power play, markets for the rest of the innings change. In Test cricket, the five-day game makes a draw a valid result, so there are three markets — Team A win, Team B win and draw.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is the closest tournament. Interest in matches between local franchise teams runs very high. IPL is also extremely popular in Bangladesh — every match in India's top franchise league has the potential for high-scoring play. The T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series — the Bangladesh Tigers' matches in all these international competitions draw the most attention.
Cricket betting is a little different from football and other sports. In football, one goal in a 90-minute game can change the whole situation. In cricket, results shift over by over — a single wicket or a big over can bring a major change to the markets. In tennis betting, you follow game by game or set by set, where individual performance matters more than in cricket. Cricket betting depends on a team sport, so the markets are more varied.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
At 999bd, you can place bets on multiple markets in a single cricket match. The most familiar markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Who will win the match — this is the simplest market. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (Team A or Team B); in Tests a draw is also possible.
Toss Betting
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely random, so odds are usually roughly equal for both sides.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs within a team. This market is straightforward if you consider the team's batting order and pitch conditions.
Total Runs Over/Under
You can bet on either side — whether the total runs in the match or an innings will be above or below a set number.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches or events into one bet. You only receive the full return if every selection is correct — one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Handicap and Power Play
One team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to make the match more even. Power play run markets also fall under this category.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats Explained Simply
Odds on betting sites are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same information; only the way they are written differs. The examples below use a ৳200 bet on Team A to win.
| Format | Odds | How to Read It | Return on ৳200 Bet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply the stake by the number to get the total return | ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450 (৳250 profit) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Stake the right-hand number, win the left-hand number as profit | ৳200 bet returns ৳250 profit, total return ৳450 |
| American | +125 | Plus means profit on a ৳100 bet | ৳200 bet returns ৳250 profit, total return ৳450 |
All three formats give the same result — decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4 and American +125 are the same odds. If Team A wins, ৳450 comes back (including ৳250 profit); if Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Odds are lower for the favourite. Say Team B is more likely to win — their odds might be decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2 or American -200. American minus odds mean how much you need to bet to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (only ৳100 profit) — because Team B's higher chance of winning means a smaller reward.
Most sites in Bangladesh default to decimal format because it is easier to understand. At 999bd you can set your preferred format.
Quick Reference
- Decimal: simplest — odds × stake = total return
- Fractional: traditional British format — ratio of profit
- American plus (+): profit on a ৳100 bet
- American minus (−): how much to bet to win ৳100
- If the bet loses, the original stake is not returned
Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Change During the Match
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. In cricket this is particularly useful — odds for each market are recalculated after every over and after every wicket.
Say the first team scores 65 runs in 6 power-play overs without losing a wicket. In that situation, their odds of winning will shorten — meaning they become the favourite. On the other hand, if two wickets fall in quick succession, the other team's odds of winning shorten.
There are several other popular markets in live betting — how many runs will be scored in the next over, will the next ball be a wicket or maiden, total runs in the final 10 overs. You need to decide quickly on these markets because odds can change within minutes.
HRG Live Betting offers live markets for sports other than cricket too. Cricket live betting is naturally most active during BPL or IPL.
A good internet connection is important for live betting — if you are using mobile data in Dhaka, keep latency low. Live updates come through faster when using the 999bd app.
Practical Betting Tips — Things Worth Keeping in Mind
Cricket betting is one way to enjoy the game — keeping that in mind makes the experience better. A few basic points make it easier to make decisions.
-
Bet with the format in mind
T20 and Test markets are different. In Tests a draw is possible, so there are three-outcome markets; in T20 or ODI there are only two. -
Consider pitch and weather
On spin-friendly pitches, top batsman or total runs markets are more likely to settle lower. Rain or Duckworth-Lewis situations make the result uncertain. -
Be careful with multi bets
Adding more selections increases the potential return, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet. -
Set a budget
Decide how much you will bet per session before you start. It is best not to place larger bets to recover losses. -
Start with small bets
In an unfamiliar market, start with a small amount to see how that market works. As your experience grows, decisions become clearer. -
Follow responsible betting practices
Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income. For more information, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Multi Bet Example
Three separate selections across three matches: odds 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90.
Combined, the total odds are: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 ≈ 3.99
If all three are correct on a ৳100 bet, the return is ৳399 — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
