Cricket Formats and Competitions

999bd T20 cricket match atmosphere

Three formats are most common in cricket betting — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has a different style of play, so betting strategies differ as well.

T20 is the fastest format. Scores shift quickly in just 20 overs, so odds change from moment to moment. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments on the subcontinent — Bangladeshi fans follow these two tournaments more closely than any other.

ODI is a fifty-over game — the pace is comparatively slower, but a tactical turning point mid-innings can change the result. Betting interest in Bangladesh Tigers matches rises noticeably during the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments.

Test cricket is a long five-day contest. The betting markets here are far more varied — there are separate markets for first-innings advantage, session-by-session runs and the likelihood of bowlers taking wickets.

Alongside international matches, 999bd also offers markets for domestic T20 leagues and bilateral series from various countries.

Popular Betting Markets

What types of bets are available in cricket and how each market works.

Match Winner

A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. Example: Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's are 1.95 — if you pick Team B and they win, the profit is added on top of your original stake.

Simple Market

Toss Betting

A bet on which team will win the toss. Pitch conditions or weather can increase the importance of the toss. The probability of each outcome is generally about equal in this market, so odds are usually close to 2.00.

Short-Term

Top Batsman

A bet on which batter will score the most runs. When a team has several strong batters, the odds in this market are higher because of the competition. Understanding the team's batting order is helpful here.

Expert Pick

Total Runs Over/Under

A bet on whether the total runs scored in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. The pitch type, weather and both teams' batting strength all influence this market.

Statistics-Based

Multi Bet

Combining selections from several matches into a single bet. Example: three matches with odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90 — the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳456 if all selections are correct. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.

High Return Potential

Top Bowler / Wickets

A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market becomes more interesting on spin-friendly pitches. Choosing a bowler based on match conditions makes the betting experience more engaging.

Strategic Market

How to Read Odds

Three odds formats are used in cricket betting — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are written differs.

Format Team A (to win) Team B (to win) Return on bet (Team A, ৳200 stake)
Decimal 2.25 1.80 200 × 2.25 = ৳450
Fractional 5/4 4/5 Profit ৳250 + original ৳200
American +125 -125 Total return ৳450

Example 1 — ৳200 bet on Team A: Decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three mean the same thing. If Team A wins, the return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake); if Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.

Example 2 — ৳200 bet on favourite Team B: Team B's odds are 1.80 in decimal, 4/5 in fractional and −125 in American (a minus sign means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳360 (৳160 profit).

The decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the odds by the stake to get the total return. 999bd shows decimal odds by default.

A quick way to remember odds

  • Decimal odds × stake = total return
  • Odds below 1.00 mean favourite
  • American + means underdog
  • American − means favourite
  • The higher the odds, the lower the probability

Football and Other Sports

Alongside cricket, 999bd also offers betting on football. In football there are three possible results — home win, away win and draw. The key difference from cricket is that third outcome: there is no draw in T20 or ODI, which makes the market structure different.

Football offers markets for goals over/under, whether both teams will score and first goalscorer. These formats work much like the runs over/under in cricket — the difference is just the sport itself.

Round betting and points-winner markets in boxing have their own character — find out more at 999bd Boxing Betting.

You can bet on computer-controlled matches in virtual games — see the Virtual Sports Betting page for details on how it works.

Live In-Play Betting

Live Updates

You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket, every ball, every wicket and every over can shift the odds.

For example: Team A's odds may be 2.00 at the start of a match, but if they lose two wickets in the first over the odds can quickly move to 3.00 or higher. Conversely, if Team B keeps hitting boundaries, their odds of winning will shorten.

In T20 cricket, the powerplay overs (overs 1–6) are especially important for live betting — scores change fast during this period and odds fluctuate the most.

Staying focused during live betting matters because there is little time to decide. Betting within your own limits is the wisest approach — betting is a form of entertainment and should not be treated as a guaranteed source of income.

See our guidelines on the Responsible Gaming page for advice on betting responsibly.

Why odds change during live betting

01
A wicket falls — when a key wicket drops, that team's odds rise immediately.
02
Boundaries and sixes — several big shots in a row raise the run rate and increase a team's chances of winning.
03
End of an over — after each over, the target versus balls remaining is recalculated and odds are reset accordingly.
04
Field decisions — reviews, no-balls or a rain break can also affect the odds.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting

01
Understand the format before you bet. Fast bowlers may be more effective in T20, while spinners play a bigger role in Test cricket. Choose your market based on the format.
02
Check the pitch report. A batting-friendly pitch produces higher scores, so picking 'over' in the runs market may be a reasonable choice.
03
Set a budget. Decide how much you will stake before each match. Do not put everything on at once.
04
Be careful with multi bets. Combined odds can look very profitable, but a single wrong selection means the whole bet is lost. Start with fewer selections.
05
Do not bet on emotion. Betting on your favourite team out of loyalty often leads to poor decisions. Treat betting as entertainment.
06
Do not rush in live betting. Watch the situation, then decide. Making quick decisions just because odds are moving fast is not a good idea.

Cricket Betting FAQ

You can bet on all three formats, but each has its own character. T20 matches finish quickly and results come fast — it is easier to follow for new bettors. ODI matches run longer, so there are more in-play betting opportunities. Test cricket offers the widest variety of markets, but reading the odds across a five-day game takes a bit more experience.

In terms of the basic betting rules, there is no difference between BPL and IPL — both are T20 format and offer the same markets. The difference is in team strength and familiarity. BPL features Bangladeshi teams, so knowing the local players makes it easier to analyse the markets. IPL has the best players in the world, which also means there is more information available.

In cricket, live odds can update after every ball. A wicket or a big six can shift the odds instantly. In T20 the pace of change is fastest because every ball carries more weight. In Test cricket the odds move comparatively slowly. It is worth confirming the odds before placing a bet, as there can be a difference between the odds shown on screen and the odds at the moment the bet is confirmed.

No, you can mix selections from different sports in a multi bet. It is possible to combine a cricket match, a football match and another cricket match in the same bet. Keep in mind that if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. The more selections you add, the higher the risk — even if each one looks likely on its own.

If a match is cancelled or incomplete due to rain or any other reason, the bet is settled according to the betting rules. Generally, if a specified number of overs have been completed the result is considered valid; otherwise the bet is voided and the stake is returned. For the specific rules at 999bd, see the Terms and Conditions page.
