Cricket Betting at 399bet — bet across all formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
T20, ODI and Test — bet on match winner, top batsman, live in-play and many more markets across all three formats. 399bet is a complete platform for fans of BPL, IPL and international cricket.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Understanding the format matters in cricket betting because the style of play differs across all three, and so do the betting markets. 399bet offers betting on all three formats.
T20: The fastest and highest-scoring format. Each team plays just 20 overs, so the match moves quickly and results can shift in moments. Bettors in Bangladesh are most interested in tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup. Multi bets and live betting are especially popular in T20.
ODI: Strategy plays a bigger role in this 50-over format. The ability to compare first and second innings scores means over/under run markets can be approached more carefully. Betting markets are most active during Bangladesh Tigers matches at ICC events.
Test: In this five-day format, a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Innings totals and session betting are also popular.
Football and Other Sports Alongside Cricket
399bet is not limited to cricket. Football is also very popular in Bangladesh, and international football matches are available to bet on at 399bet. There are some key differences between football and cricket that are also reflected in the betting markets.
The match winner market in football generally has three options — home team wins, draw, or away team wins. In T20 and ODI cricket, a draw is not possible, so there are only two options. In Test cricket, however, all three options return.
Football has handicap and over/under markets based on goals, while cricket markets are built around runs and wickets. In live betting, in-match developments shift odds quickly in both sports.
399bet also features the fun 24 Hour Grand Prix game, which offers a different kind of competitive experience.
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own characteristics. Below are seven common markets with a simple explanation of each.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI (Team A or Team B), three in Test (Team A, Team B or draw). The simplest market and a good starting point for newcomers.
Toss Winner
A bet on who will win the coin toss at the start of the match. The outcome is entirely random, making this a quick and straightforward market. Odds are usually close for both sides.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. With multiple options available, odds here can be relatively higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
A choice between two options — whether the total runs in a match or innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Understanding the pitch and weather conditions is useful here.
Powerplay Score
A bet on how many runs a team will score in the first six overs of a T20 match. The situation can shift quickly depending on wickets and the batters' form.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. The spinner vs pacer situation, pitch type and batting order all influence how this market moves.
Multi Bet (Multiple Bets)
Multiple market bets can be placed on a single ticket. You only receive the full return if all bets win; losing even one means the entire stake is lost. For example, placing bets on three matches at odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 gives a combined odds of 4.32.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are expressed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information in different forms. 399bet generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three makes things easier on any platform.
Example 1 — Same odds in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳200):
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If Team A wins, a ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳450 — that is ৳250 profit plus the ৳200 original stake back. If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds (Team B to win):
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win 100. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Team names, dates and fixtures are not included in the examples — they are only meant to illustrate the numbers.
How Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
Live betting means placing bets in real time while the match is in progress. Odds move as quickly as the situation on the field changes. 399bet's live betting market keeps pace with this.
Say Team A loses two wickets in one over — their chances of winning naturally drop and their odds go up. At the same time, Team B's odds come down. These changes are visible live and any new bets are placed at the updated odds.
After each over, the run rate calculation shifts. Once the powerplay ends, fielding restrictions are lifted — new markets form at every moment. This is why live betting calls for focus and the ability to make quick decisions.
Keeping a stable internet connection during a live session is important, as odds change rapidly. Live betting is equally accessible on mobile through the 399bet App.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set a budget: Betting is a form of entertainment. Set a limit for yourself before each session and stick to it. For more on responsible play, read our Responsible Gaming page.
- Start with one market: New bettors may want to focus on just the match winner market at first. It is better to understand one market well before moving on to others.
- Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test are very different in nature. A single over can change a T20 match; in Test, changes come more gradually.
- Do not rush in live betting: Even though odds change fast, it is better not to place a bet without understanding the situation. Take a moment.
- Limit your selections in a multi bet: The more selections in a multi bet, the lower the chance of winning. Starting with 2–3 selections is sensible.
- Read the rules: For a clear understanding of betting terms and conditions, see our Terms and Conditions page.
