Cricket Betting at 299bet apps — A New Experience with Every Match
From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC tournaments — 299bet apps has betting markets across every cricket format. Learn how to read odds, which markets to choose, and how live betting works, all explained in plain language.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI, and Test — each have their own pace and strategy. T20 is the fastest; results can change at any moment in just 20 overs. ODI sits in the middle — you can watch the ups and downs of both teams across 50 overs. Test cricket is a five-day contest, and the betting markets here are far more varied.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is one of the biggest events of the year. 299bet apps opens separate betting markets for BPL, IPL, the T20 World Cup, and the ICC Champions Trophy. When the Bangladesh Tigers play international matches, the number of available markets usually increases further.
Besides cricket, 299bet apps also offers betting on football and other sports. One major difference between cricket and football is the draw — limited-overs cricket has no draw result. So cricket markets carry odds for only two outcomes, while football has three.
T20 Format
The shortest format. BPL and IPL T20 betting markets give you the chance to place multiple bets within a single match.
ODI Format
In a 50-over match, if the situation shifts mid-innings, live odds can change significantly as well.
Test Cricket
In a five-day game, Test cricket offers a wide range of betting options from series winner to session-based markets.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting includes multiple markets — not just match win or loss, but many other types of bets. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so odds are split between two sides. Example: if Team A wins, the bet succeeds; if Team B wins, the bet is lost.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this is a separate market. The result does not depend on on-field performance, so odds are usually roughly equal.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team or in the whole match — you pick one batter in this market. The winner is generally decided at the end of each innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose in advance whether the total runs in the match will be over or under a set number. Pitch conditions and weather play a major role in this market.
Multi Bet
Multiple match bets can be combined together. If all bets win, you receive the full multi bet return; if any one loses, the entire bet is void.
Man of the Match
Who will be the best performer of the match — this market usually has many contenders, so the odds for the winner can be relatively higher.

How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting sites generally display odds in three formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American (Moneyline). All three express the same outcome — only the way they are presented differs.
The example below shows the same bet in all three formats. A ৳200 bet is placed assuming Team A will win:
| Format | Odds | What does it mean? |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return on a ৳200 bet is ৳500 (profit ৳300) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 — profit on ৳200 is ৳300 |
| American | +150 | Plus means underdog — ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Odds are lower for the favourite. If Team B is the favourite, you might see: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A minus sign in American format means favourite — a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (profit ৳100).
If the bet loses, the full ৳200 stake is gone. These examples are for understanding only — they are not live odds or a promise of winning.
The decimal format is the most widely used among players in Bangladesh because the total return can be found simply by multiplying.
Live Betting — What Happens When a Wicket Falls
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. Odds change much faster here than in pre-match betting, because the situation is new after every ball.
Say the first team has made a strong start — their odds will drop because they appear more likely to win. But if an important wicket suddenly falls, the odds will shift again. If a lot of runs are scored in an over, the odds on the total runs over/under market also change significantly.
In live betting you can watch the match and make decisions as it unfolds. Keep in mind though — rapidly changing odds sometimes leave very little time to decide. Live betting should therefore be treated as part of the entertainment.
Live betting markets on 299bet apps are available for both T20 and ODI formats. Markets are updated at the end of every over.

Some Practical Tips for Betting
Set a budget in advance. Before placing any bet on a match, decide how much you are willing to spend. Betting is a form of entertainment — it should not be seen as a way to earn money.
Understand one market well. It is a good idea to start with simple markets like match winner or total runs over/under. More complex markets can come once you have experience.
Be careful with multi bets. Multi bets can return more, but if any one bet loses, the entire stake is lost. Example: betting on three matches at odds of 1.50, 1.80, and 1.90 gives combined odds of 5.13 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳513, but all three must win.
Do not rush in live betting. Odds change very fast in in-play betting. Instead of deciding in a hurry, read the match situation first and then make your decision.
Keep an eye on casino games too. Alongside cricket, 299bet apps offers live card games and other entertainment at 299bet apps Casino — for a different kind of experience between bets.
Multi Bet Example
| Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Bet 1 | 1.50 |
| Bet 2 | 1.80 |
| Bet 3 | 1.90 |
| Combined Odds | 5.13 |
| Stake | ৳100 |
| Potential Return | ৳513 |
All three bets must win. If any one loses, ৳100 is lost. This is an example only.
Football and Other Sports
After cricket, football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. 299bet apps also has betting markets for domestic and international football league matches.
One major difference between football and cricket: a draw is a valid result in football, so the match winner market has three options — Team A win, Team B win, and draw. Limited-overs cricket has no draw, so the odds structure is different.
Markets for tennis, badminton, and other sports are also available. Each sport has its own market structure — visit the 299bet apps Bet page to learn more about sports betting.
