399bet Bet — Complete Guide to Placing Bets from Start to Finish
From login to funding, choosing a market to filling in the bet slip — learn how every step works on 399bet in plain English.
Log in and fund your account
Before you start betting, two things need to be done — log in to your account and add a balance. Both take just a few minutes.
Go to the 399bet Login page
Open the 399bet Login page from the top menu of the site. Sign in with your username and password. If you are new, you only need a few details to open an account.
Make a deposit
Go to the Cashier or Deposit option. Transfer a minimum of ৳100 from bKash, Nagad or Rocket. The amount is added to your balance instantly.
Start betting
Once the balance is added, go to the sports lobby or casino section and pick the market or game you want.
Find a market and read the odds
When you open a match on 399bet, you will see numbers next to each event. These numbers are the odds — they tell you how much you will get if your bet wins.
Betting sites generally show odds in three formats. The decimal format is used most on 399bet. The table below compares all three formats — three ways of expressing the same price:
| Format | Odds | Return | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳450 | ৳250 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳450 | ৳250 |
| American | +125 | ৳450 | ৳250 |
These three numbers are three different ways of showing the same bet. Decimal 2.25 means if you stake ৳200 and win, you get ৳450 back — including ৳250 profit. If you lose, the ৳200 is gone.
Favourites have lower odds. For example, odds of 1.50 on Team B winning means a ৳200 stake returns ৳300, a profit of only ৳100. In American format this is -200, meaning you need to risk ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
For detailed cricket markets and betting strategy, go to the Cricket Betting page — it has separate information on BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup.
Single bet and multi bet — stake and return
Clicking on a market adds the selection to the bet slip. One selection makes a single bet; more than one makes a multi bet.
Bet Slip — Multi Bet (example)
The odds of three selections multiply: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32. A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all win. If any one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost.
How does a single bet work?
When the bet slip has only one selection, it is a single bet. Type in the stake and click the "Confirm Bet" button. For example, in a limited-overs cricket match, Team A has odds of 1.65 and Team B has odds of 2.30. If you stake ৳1,000 on Team B and Team B wins, you get ৳2,300 back — a profit of ৳1,300. If Team A wins, you lose the full ৳1,000.
Advantages and risks of a multi bet
In a multi bet, several selections are combined, so the odds multiply and grow. There is a chance of getting ৳432 from a ৳100 stake (as in the example above). But if even one event loses, the entire bet is lost. Multi bets can be fun, but it is better to keep the stake small.
Bets on casino games
Alongside sports, 399bet also lets you bet on live casino, slots and fishing games. Casino games have no bet slip — you set the stake directly in the game window. See the 399bet Casino page for more details.
Sports, casino and exchange betting
399bet has not only a traditional sportsbook but also a betting exchange where you can bet against other players.
BACK bet — backing a team
BACK means you think Team A will win. If you BACK Team A with ৳500 at decimal odds of 1.80 — and Team A wins, you make ৳400 profit before commission. If Team A does not win, you lose ৳500.
LAY bet — betting against a team
LAY means you think Team A will not win. If you LAY against Team A with a backer's stake of ৳500 — your liability is ৳400 (৳500 × 0.80). If Team A does not win, you make ৳500 profit before commission. If Team A wins, you have to pay out ৳400.
Commission applies on the betting exchange. Before placing a bet, check the liability shown on the slip.
It is worth reading the Responsible Gaming guidelines — especially before getting into multi bets and exchange betting.
Open and settled bets — check your history
Which bets are still running and which have been settled — all the details can be found under the "Bet History" or "My Bets" option.
Open bet
A bet stays "open" until the event is over. The score and status update live.
ActiveSettled bet — win
If the bet wins, the return is automatically added to your balance. The history will show "Won".
Settled - WonSettled bet — loss
If the bet loses, the stake is deducted. The history will show "Lost". Check which selection failed.
Settled - LostVoid / Refund
If a match is cancelled or has no result, the bet is voided and the stake is returned.
RefundedOn the history page you can filter by date, sport or bet type. Checking your history regularly gives you a clear picture of how much you are spending and where — this is the simplest way to manage your budget.
Set a budget, stick to your limits
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a reliable way to make money. So it is wise to set some limits for yourself before placing any bets.
Daily budget
Decide in advance how much money you will put on bets each day. When you reach that limit, stop betting for the day.
Loss limit
Set a decision to stop betting after losing a certain amount. Chasing losses by placing more bets usually leads to losing even more.
Time control
Set a time limit for how long you will bet. Take breaks — it is easier to make decisions with a clear head.
Know your limits
If betting feels stressful or starts affecting your daily life, take a step back. If needed, read the Responsible Gaming guide.
