Cricket Betting at 999bet — Bet on Every Tigers Match
From T20 to Test, from BPL to the ICC World Cup — 999bet offers betting on every format of cricket. Match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under and many more markets, all on one platform.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport — and at 999bet you can bet on every format of the game. In T20 matches, each over brings rapid change, making this format's betting market the most active. ODIs are comparatively longer — 50-over two-innings matches offer more room for strategic betting. Test matches are five-day affairs where pitch behaviour, weather and team management play a major role.
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the most anticipated tournament for cricket fans in Bangladesh. When the Tigers take the field under the lights at Dhaka, excitement rises across the country. IPL also draws strong interest from Bangladeshi fans. International events like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy keep cricket betting active throughout the year.
Alongside cricket, 999bet also offers football betting. In football, the clock never stops — 90 minutes run continuously, giving live betting a slightly different feel. In cricket, odds shift when a wicket falls or a powerplay ends; in football, the market changes when a goal is scored or a yellow card is shown.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Several types of markets are available for cricket betting at 999bet. Each market works differently — here is a brief explanation of seven common markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win the match. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you choose one of two options. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team B and they win, you get a return; if they do not win, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner
The outcome is decided before the match even starts. Bet on which team will win the toss. It is a completely independent event — there is no direct connection to the match result. Simple example: pick either Team A or Team B.
Top Run Scorer
Pick which batsman will score the most runs in a team's innings. Current form and batting order are important considerations here.
Total Runs Over or Under
The bookmaker sets a run target. Example: whether Team A will score 160 runs in their innings — if they score more than 160, the over bet wins; if less, the under bet wins.
Multiple Bets Combined
Select outcomes from multiple matches or markets together. You only get a return if all selections are correct — if any single one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. The potential return is higher, but getting all selections right is harder.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or the full match — that is the question in this market. Understanding the pitch conditions and bowling lineup well is important here.
Innings Score and Runs in a Specific Over
Some markets let you predict how many runs will be scored by a certain over — for example, how many runs Team A will score in the powerplay (first 6 overs). This type of bet is very active during the early phase of a match.
How to Read Odds
Odds on betting platforms are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Most platforms in Bangladesh use the decimal format, as it is straightforward to understand.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return of 2.25 per ৳1 staked (profit of 1.25) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit on a ৳4 bet |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on ৳100 (plus sign means underdog) |
Example 1 (Underdog team): Suppose Team A is expected to win, with odds of 2.25 (fractional 5/4, American +125). On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins the total return is ৳2,250 (profit of ৳1,250 plus the original ৳1,000 stake returned). If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (Favourite team): Team B is the favourite here — odds of 1.25 (fractional 1/4, American -400). A minus sign in the American format means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳1,250 (profit of only ৳250).
Calculating a Multi Bet
When combining three separate bets, the odds are multiplied. Say the odds for three selections are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively. The combined odds would be 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately). So on a ৳100 bet, if all are correct, the return is ৳336. But if even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
These calculations are examples only — there is no guarantee of returns in real matches.
Live Betting — Placing Bets During the Match
You can still place bets after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. Here, odds change from moment to moment.
In cricket, when a wicket falls a team's ability to score runs decreases, so the odds for that team's total runs change. During the powerplay, fielding restrictions alter on-field tactics — once the powerplay ends, the market shifts too. If it rains and the target changes via the Duckworth-Lewis method, odds move quickly again.
Live betting requires quick decisions. If you can place bets at the right time, you can participate in multiple markets within the same match. However, this pace can sometimes be stressful — that is why it is important to follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Live betting requires a good internet connection — a slow connection can cause you to miss a bet.
- There is a brief window between odds changes — take a moment to read the situation rather than rushing.
- Knowing the recent form of both teams before the match makes it easier to follow live betting.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind can make the experience more structured:
-
Set a budget in advance
Set aside a fixed amount that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Do not go beyond this limit. -
Understand one market well
Start by focusing only on the match winner market. Entering too many markets at once leads to confusion. -
Keep track of pitch and weather conditions
The possibility of rain or a spinning pitch can dramatically change the outcome of a Test match. -
Stay level-headed about your favourite team
Avoid emotional decisions about the team you support — betting requires a clear head. -
Do not chase losses
Placing larger bets to recover losses after a losing streak is dangerous. Take a break and come back the next day.
