Cricket Betting at b 999 — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on every cricket format — from T20 and ODI to Test. b 999 brings together popular markets, live in-play options and a straightforward odds system in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Before understanding cricket betting, it helps to have a clear idea of the formats, because the type of markets and strategy differ for each one.
T20 is the fastest format — just 20 overs, so the situation can change with every ball. BPL and IPL are played in this format and are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup brings this intensity to the international stage every two years. Whenever the Bangladesh Tigers play, the whole country gets behind them.
ODI, or one-day cricket, has 50 overs, so the pace is a bit slower but there is more room for strategy. If you can read a team's batting order and pace bowling attack, it becomes easier to analyse many markets.
Test cricket is a five-day contest — the market value shifts with every session and wicket. Because a draw is possible in this format, you can bet on three types of outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at b 999. Football matches usually end in 90 minutes and tend to have fewer goals, so the odds are generally different. Where cricket offers run-based markets across a full innings or specific overs, football markets are goal-based. To learn about markets for other sports on b 999 Bet, visit the b 999 Bet page. Those who prefer casino games will find a separate section at b 999 Casino.
Popular Cricket Markets and Bet Types
Many types of markets are open for each match. Below is a simple explanation of the six most commonly used markets.
Which team will win — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 and ODI there are two possible outcomes; in Test, a draw is also an option. Example: in Team A vs Team B, if you bet on Team B and Team B wins, you win.
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match begins. The toss winner does not always match the match winner, so this is treated as a separate market.
You pick who will score the most runs within a team. This depends heavily on the team's batting order and pitch conditions.
b 999 sets a specific run line, for example 160. If you think Team A will score 170, bet on "Over". If you think it will be 150, go "Under".
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs (the powerplay) or within a specific over range. This market is especially active in T20 matches.
Combine multiple markets on the same slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply — but if any one is wrong, the entire bet is void. Example: three matches with decimal odds 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = roughly 3.99, so a ৳100 bet could return ৳399 — if all three are correct.
How to Read Odds
b 999 supports three odds formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information — only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳200
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, you receive a total of ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, stake ৳200
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds mean you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. On a ৳200 stake you receive a total of ৳300 back (৳100 profit).
The decimal format is the easiest because the full return is shown as a single number. b 999 displays decimal by default, but you can change it to your preference.
| Format | Team A (underdog) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
| Return on ৳200 stake | ৳500 | ৳300 |
| Profit | ৳300 | ৳100 |

Live In-Play Betting — Everything Changes with Each Wicket and Over
Once a match starts, the live betting section on b 999 becomes active. Odds update automatically with every ball, every wicket and at the end of every over.
Say Team A is at 60 runs for 5 wickets after 10 overs in a T20 match. At that point, Team B's odds of winning will shorten and Team A's will lengthen. In live betting, you can place a bet taking advantage of that shift.
Once the toss is done live, you can read the pitch and weather conditions, making your bet more informed than before the game. However, because odds change fast, you need to confirm your bet before the market closes.

A Few Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Choose markets based on the format: In T20, total runs markets are more useful because the innings is short and run rates can be estimated with reasonable confidence. In Test, draws are more likely, so factor in the draw option when betting on the match winner market.
- Watch the pitch and weather: On a pace-friendly pitch, the odds for the pace-bowling team may be shorter. If rain is forecast, the chance of a draw in Test increases.
- Set your budget first: Keep a separate budget for each session, and if you lose in one match, stay within your set limit rather than placing bigger bets in another match to recover the loss.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining three selections raises the odds, but if one is wrong the whole slip is void. So it is generally better to keep the stake small on multi bets.
- Betting is entertainment — not investment: Cricket betting is for enjoyment. There is no guarantee of winning and it is best not to treat it as a source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and stay within your limits.
- Play easily on mobile: With the b 999 App you can follow the live score and place bets from anywhere. The b 999 app is available on Android and iOS.

Understanding Handicap and Over/Under Markets
In handicap markets, the weaker team is given an advantage. Say Team B is given a handicap of −1.5 runs. That means Team B must win even after the handicap is deducted — simply being ahead on the score is not enough. It is wise to read the rules carefully before placing a bet in this market rather than relying on a specific stake or return example.
For Over/Under markets in cricket, consider the pitch and the batting strength of the teams. If the pitch is batting-friendly and both teams have strong batting orders, the chance of "Over" can be considered relatively higher.
