399bet Cricket Betting — Place Bets on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a feeling. At 399bet, you can bet across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — from match winner markets all the way to live in-play markets.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three formats each have their own pace. A T20 match wraps up in just a few hours and is the most watched format in Bangladesh — especially during the BPL and IPL seasons. In a One Day match, the fifty-over contest makes strategy more complex; when national teams take the field in ICC tournaments and the T20 World Cup, excitement sweeps the whole country. Test cricket is a five-day test of patience — the betting markets here stay open longer because pitch conditions, weather and team form keep changing throughout.
BPL holds a special place for Bangladeshis because familiar faces are on the field. IPL is India's franchise league, but Bangladeshi fans follow it just as closely. You can bet on matches from each of these tournaments at 399bet.
| Format | Duration | Major Tournaments | Betting Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 3–4 hours | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup | Fast-moving markets, live betting popular |
| ODI | 7–8 hours | ICC Champions Trophy, bilateral series | Handicap and total runs markets prominent |
| Test | Up to 5 days | Test series, World Test Championship | Innings betting and session markets |
From BPL and IPL to international series — betting markets are open for every major match at 399bet.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
Football betting is steadily growing in popularity in Bangladesh, much like cricket. The difference is that cricket generates many smaller markets from over-by-over data beyond just the match winner, which football does not offer in the same way. In football, the main focus is on the match result, whether both teams will score, and the correct score.
In other sports — such as tennis, badminton or kabaddi — the number of markets is comparatively smaller, but the odds range can sometimes be wider than in cricket. Once you understand the pace and rhythm of each sport, placing bets becomes more comfortable.
Live in-play betting is most dynamic in cricket — every wicket or six can shift the odds. In football, odds change quickly when a goal is scored. At 399bet, 399bet bet sportsbook lets you access markets across multiple sports at the same time.
Football Betting
Markets on match result, both teams to score and total goals — popular alongside cricket.
Other Sports
You can bet on match winner and set markets in tennis, badminton and a few other sports.
7 Popular Betting Markets — Where to Bet in Cricket
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options. Simple and straightforward.
Toss Winner
Which team wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome depends entirely on chance — a simple market.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs. One player is picked from within the team.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or match will go above or stay below a specific number.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If 3 selections have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined odds are 4.32 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all win. If any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
First Wicket Method
You can bet on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, LBW or run out.
Betting Exchange
On an exchange, you bet not only against the bookmaker but also against other bettors — with both BACK and LAY options. Aster Live offers a detailed live environment of this kind.
How to Read Odds — Explanation of Three Formats
Odds on betting platforms are written in three different forms. None is "better" than another — they all express the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — All Three Formats Together (Team A to win, bet ৳200)
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200
If the bet wins, the return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team's Odds (Team B to win)
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Decimal format is the simplest — the total return figure is shown directly. Most betting platforms in Bangladesh use decimal as the default. 399bet uses it too.
Odds Multiply in a Multi Bet
Three selections — 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 — but all three must win.
A multi bet offers the possibility of a higher return, but the risk is also higher — if one loses, the entire bet is lost.
LIVE In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
Live betting or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly useful because the situation can change fast.
Consider this — if two wickets fall in the first three overs, the odds for the batting team will jump sharply. On the other hand, if a partnership runs long, the odds for that team to win will shorten. Every ball, every over — all of it is reflected directly in the market.
After the powerplay, you need to consider the run rate and the number of wickets remaining when making decisions in the live market. Live betting is available at 399bet, but it is for entertainment — results are never guaranteed.
- Odds change quickly when a wicket falls — watch the in-play market carefully
- The required run rate relative to overs remaining affects the odds
- In situations like a tie or Duckworth-Lewis, market rules may differ
- Read the full terms and conditions before placing a bet
Every moment is new in live betting — markets stay open at 399bet even while the match is ongoing.
Stay Aware While Betting — Some Useful Advice
Betting is for entertainment — set a budget and stay within it.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will spend on betting each week or month. It is better not to overspend in the excitement of a win.
- Understand one market well. Start by focusing only on match winner or total runs. Trying to cover all markets at once leads to confusion.
- No rushing in live betting. Odds change quickly in-play. Rather than making an instant decision, take a moment to observe the situation.
- Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Bet to add to the enjoyment of watching cricket — not in expectation of profit. If you lose, stop rather than feeling discouraged.
- Stay responsible. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and use the self-exclusion feature if needed. 21+ For adults only.
