Cricket betting at 3999bet — BPL, IPL and T20 to live markets, all in one place
Combine the excitement of bat-and-ball competition with betting. 3999bet offers a range of markets across every cricket format — from before the match starts to the final over.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
From T20 to Test — each format has its own character, and understanding that difference matters in betting.
T20
BPL IPL T20 World CupJust twenty overs — every ball can change the situation. BPL matches featuring Bangladeshi teams are especially popular here. IPL and T20 World Cup also generate large markets. Due to the fast pace, live in-play betting is most active in T20.
ODI
One-Day Series ICC EventsFifty-over matches allow for deeper strategic analysis. You can factor in a team's batting and bowling averages before entering a market. ICC events offer more options in ODI betting markets, and Bangladesh Tigers matches draw the highest local interest.
Test
Five-Day Cricket ICC Test ChampionshipIn five-day Test cricket, a draw is a valid result, so three outcomes are possible — Team A win, Team B win or draw. The pitch behaviour across days and nights, batting order and weather all influence the markets.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, 3999bet also has a notable football market. For the English Premier League, La Liga or international matches, the market typically offers three outcomes — home win, draw or away win.
The main difference between cricket and football is match length and scoring patterns. In T20, odds shift after every over, while football's lower goal count means the market moves differently. Betting options are available for tennis, volleyball and other sports too, but cricket draws the most interest in Bangladesh.

Popular betting markets
Where to place your bet in a cricket match — six common markets with brief examples.
-
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Example: choose between Team A or Team B — bet on whichever you think will win. In ODI and T20 there is no draw, so there are only two options.
-
Toss Winner
Bet on which team wins the coin toss. This does not depend on the overall match result, so it is considered a straightforward market.
-
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman from a team will score the most runs in an innings. Consider whether it is more likely to be the opener or a middle-order player — assess the pitch and situation before choosing a market.
-
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether a team's total runs in a set number of overs will be more than (over) or less than (under) a specified number.
-
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine the results of several matches in a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return — but if one is wrong, you lose the entire bet. See the detailed example in the odds section below.
-
Handicap Betting
To level out the difference in strength between two teams, one team is given a virtual advantage or deficit. A run handicap is applied to the stronger team to bring the odds closer to even.
-
Live In-Play Markets
Place new bets while the match is in progress — how many runs in the next over, when the next wicket will fall, how many runs a team will score in the last five overs. The odds change moment to moment.
How to read and understand odds
Three common odds formats — decimal, fractional and American — express the same price in three different ways.
Three formats, same price
| Format | Team A win | Team B win (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Working example 1 — Team A
Team A win price: decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,250 if you win (৳750 profit + original ৳500 stake); you lose ৳500 if you lose.
Working example 2 — Team B (favourite)
Team B win price: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds mean you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳500 bet returns ৳750 if you win (৳250 profit).
Multi bet calculation
Three selections across three matches: decimal 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90.
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (rounded)
A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all selections are correct. But if one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
Cricket decimal example
No draw in limited-overs matches — Team A 1.65, Team B 2.30. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,150 if Team B wins (৳650 profit); if Team A wins, you lose ৳500.
Live in-play betting
Live in-play betting lets you place bets after a match has already started. When a wicket falls, the bowling team's odds shorten because the batting team is under pressure. Conversely, a big over during the powerplay can quickly reverse the odds.
In T20, the situation changes after every over — the run rate in the last five overs, wickets in hand and field placement all influence live markets. In ODI, these changes come more slowly, giving a little more time for analysis.
Before getting into live betting, it is worth understanding how the markets work properly. You can find advice on setting your own budget and time limits on the responsible gaming page.
Some useful habits for betting
Betting is one form of entertainment — keeping the following habits in mind can make the experience better.
Set your budget first
Decide in advance how much money you will put into betting each week or month, and stick to that limit.
Start with one market
Beginners should focus on the simple match winner market first. Rather than jumping into many markets at once, understand one properly before moving on.
Be careful with multi bets
Returns can look large with a multi bet, but the risk is also higher. All selections need to be correct at the same time — one wrong pick and you lose everything.
Do not try to chase losses
After a loss, it is better not to try to recover it immediately with a larger bet. Take a break and keep a clear head.
