Cricket Betting at 3999bet — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — bet on match winner, toss, top batsman, and many more markets in every format. Live in-play, multi bets, all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Competitions Bangladeshis Bet On
Before betting on cricket, it helps to understand the format, because the odds and types of betting markets differ across formats.
T20: The fastest format. Bangladeshi fans follow BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, and the ICC T20 World Cup most closely. Results shift quickly in a 20-over match, making in-play betting especially popular.
ODI: In this 50-over format, bettors follow the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series. The longer match gives more room for detailed analysis in top batsman and total runs markets.
Test: In five-day cricket, a draw is a possible result, so the odds structure differs from T20 or ODI. Specialist markets like first innings lead and innings-margin victory are available only in Test cricket.
Alongside these three formats, 3999bet also offers betting on football and other sports.
Why Betting on Football and Other Sports Is Different
Football
Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and international football offer markets like match winner, correct score, and goal/no goal. There are no innings or overs — the two halves of 90 minutes set the rhythm for betting.
FootballCricket
Cricket has over-by-over in-play markets, odds that shift with each wicket, and toss betting — none of which exist in football. Cricket betting is more familiar to Bangladeshi users, so the markets are more detailed.
CricketOther Sports
Badminton, tennis, kabaddi, and other sports have match winner and set/game-based markets. Understanding each sport's own structure makes market analysis more straightforward.
Other SportsFor those who enjoy casino games alongside sports betting at 3999bet, 3999bet Casino has a full collection of slots, live casino, and table games.
5 Popular Cricket Markets Explained
Which cricket betting market to choose depends on the match format and your own analysis. Below is a brief explanation of the common markets available at 3999bet.
Match Winner: Simply pick which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 — it is either team A or team B. Example: if you place a ৳1,000 bet on team A and team A wins, you receive a return based on the odds.
Toss Winner: A bet on which team wins the toss. This is a standalone market in cricket — it has no connection to the match result. Wicket counts and run statistics play no part here.
Top Batsman: Which batter will score the most runs? This market requires you to pick one player from a team. Considering pitch conditions and batting order makes the analysis clearer.
Total Runs (Over/Under): The bookmaker sets a runs figure — you predict whether the total runs in the match will be above (Over) or below (Under) that figure. Taking pitch conditions and both teams' pace attacks into account helps with the decision.
Multi Bet: Combining selections from several matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied for a larger return — but if one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. For example, if three matches have odds of 1.60, 1.80, and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳547 if all are correct.
Use statistics when analysing markets, but remember — cricket is always unpredictable. Betting is for entertainment.
Handicap and Over/Under: These markets are understood through their conditions rather than specific run examples — in a handicap market, the weaker team is given an artificial advantage, while in over/under markets you bet on whether a figure will be above or below a set number.
Decimal, Fractional and American — Three Types of Odds
On 3999bet and any other sports betting platform, odds may be shown in three different formats. All three convey the same information — only the way it is expressed differs.
The table above shows the odds for team A and team B in all three formats. How each of these numbers works is explained with examples below.
Working Examples
Example 1 — Team A (underdog):
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200.
A ৳200 bet on team A returns ৳600 if team A wins (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake); if team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite):
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
A ৳200 bet on team B returns ৳360 if team B wins (৳160 profit).

Odds Shift with Every Wicket — How In-Play Betting Works
In-play or live betting lets you place bets in real time while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly useful because every event — a wicket falling, a boundary, the end of a powerplay — changes the odds immediately.
The bar chart above is a hypothetical example — it shows how odds change as wickets fall.
If several wickets fall by the end of the powerplay in a T20 match, the batting team's odds lengthen. Conversely, if only 8 runs are needed in the final over, the odds shorten. This dynamic is what makes in-play betting interesting.
However, avoid making rushed decisions during live betting. Analyse the match situation and place your bets within your set budget.
Building Good Habits in Cricket Betting
Keep a separate budget: Set a fixed budget for betting and staying within it is the most important thing. If you lose, you should not place more bets to try to recover the loss.
Build skill in one market: Understanding every market well at the same time is difficult. Focusing on simpler markets like match winner or total runs early on helps you gain experience faster.
Analyse by format: A batter who performs well in T20 is not always in the same form in Test cricket. Keep format differences in mind when analysing betting markets.
Play responsibly: Betting is for entertainment, not a source of income. Set your own limits and take a break when needed. Learn more on the Responsible Gaming page.
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. If you are less experienced, it is better not to combine more than 2–3 selections.
Manage emotions during in-play: Odds change fast in live betting, which can lead to rushed decisions. Before each bet, pause for a moment, understand the market, then decide.
