999bd Cricket Betting — All Formats and All Major Tournaments in One Place
From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC World Cup — 999bd gives you the chance to bet on every major cricket moment. Before the match starts or in the middle of play — join your preferred market at any time.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Before getting into cricket betting, it is important to understand the differences between formats. Each format has a different pace, strategy, and type of markets. 999bd offers betting across all three formats.
T20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per side — the most popular format, combining fast results, big shots, and team strategy. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are the biggest events in this format. Odds movement is most active in T20.
BPL · IPL · T20 World CupODI Cricket
50-over one-day matches — the game can turn from the opening strategy right through to the final finishing. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are the main attractions on the ODI calendar. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances always draw attention.
ICC World Cup · Bilateral SeriesTest Cricket
The longest format — five days of patience, strategy, and mental resilience. Markets here are different: innings series results and top scorer can shift with every session. In a long game, live betting becomes even more important.
Test Series · World Test Championship
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 999bd also offers football betting. In football, a match can have three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw — so the market structure is different from cricket. In limited-overs cricket matches a draw is generally not possible, so market prices are built differently.
In football, half-time/full-time, total goals over-under, and both teams to score markets are popular. In cricket, markets based on wickets, run rate, and partnerships are more common. The betting style for the two sports is different — so it is better to focus on the sport you understand well.
Betting markets are also available for Kabaddi, tennis, and badminton. The rules for determining the result differ for each sport, so it is important to understand the scoring system of that sport before placing a bet.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting is not just about 'who will win' — you can bet on many types of markets. Below are seven main markets, each with a description and a simple example.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — bet on which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI, pick one of the two teams. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team B is stronger, so you place a bet on Team B.
Toss Betting
Bet on who will win the toss. The toss and the match result are completely separate — winning the toss does not mean winning the match. Odds movement in this market is low, making it a good starting point to get familiar with.
Top Batsman
Bet on which player (or who within a team) will score the most runs. If someone gets injured or gets out unexpectedly during the innings, this market can shift quickly.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in the match or a single innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: the line is 160 runs — you think the pitch is batting-friendly, so you bet on over.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Choose outcomes from multiple matches or markets and combine them into one bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if any single one is wrong you lose the entire bet. Detailed calculations are given in the odds section below.
Top Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. The pitch type, weather, and the opposition's batting lineup play a big role in this market.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual advantage (for example, a head start of 15 runs) so that the odds on both sides are more even. The handicap amount is determined by specific rules — read the conditions carefully before placing a bet.
How to Read and Calculate Odds
Betting sites display three types of odds: Decimal, Fractional, and American (Moneyline). 999bd generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three lets you bet comfortably anywhere.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3 return for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (underdog bet): Team A's odds to win are 3.00 decimal, 2/1 fractional, +200 American. On a ৳500 bet, if Team A wins you receive ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite bet): If Team B is the favourite, odds might be 1.25 decimal, 1/4 fractional, -400 American (American minus odds mean how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). On a ৳500 bet, if Team B wins you receive ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Multi bet example: If three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.90 respectively, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct you receive ৳399 — but if any one is wrong you lose the entire ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting — Decisions in the Middle of the Game
In-play betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds change with every wicket, over, and boundary, so you need focus and the ability to decide quickly.
Odds Change After Each Over
At the end of every over, odds are reset based on the run rate and overs remaining. After a big over, the odds for the stronger team drop suddenly.
Market Shifts When a Wicket Falls
When an important batsman gets out unexpectedly, the flow of the match changes. At that moment new markets may open or existing odds are revised quickly.
Effect of Conditions and Pitch
Rain, fog, or a damp pitch can change the nature of the match. In live betting it is important to keep this information in mind, as odds always track real-time events.
Cash-Out Option
In many markets there is an option to exit a bet while the game is in progress and take a partial return — check the rules before committing to holding a bet all the way through.
Some Practical Tips for Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guaranteed method of making a profit. However, a few habits can help keep your experience more organised.
Set Your Budget in Advance
Decide how much money you can spend for entertainment before you start. Never go beyond that limit. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Understand the Market Before You Bet
It is better not to bet on a market whose rules you do not fully understand. Try a new type of market with a small amount first.
Do Not Bet on Too Many Markets in One Match
Keeping focus is easier when you do not place bets on too many different markets in one match at the same time. Make clear-headed decisions on one or two markets.
Do Not Rush in Live Betting
In-play betting moves fast, but placing large bets driven by emotion is not a good idea. Stay within your planned limits.
Know the Terms and Conditions
The rules of betting and what happens if a match is cancelled are all detailed in the terms and conditions. Read them beforehand.
