399bet register Cricket Betting — T20, ODI and Test Match Odds
Popular markets for BPL, IPL and international cricket, live in-play betting, and odds formats — all explained simply. From Bangladesh Tigers matches to the T20 World Cup, betting on all major events is now straightforward.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Understanding the formats before cricket betting matters — each format has a different pace, strategy, and market type. All three formats are available for betting on 399bet register.
T20
Just 20 overs per side — matches finish quickly and odds shift with every ball. Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, which draws the most interest from Bangladeshi fans.
BPL • IPL • T20 World CupODI
50 overs per side — strategy plays a bigger role in this longer format. Run rate, partnerships, and powerplay overs have a significant impact on betting markets. The ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup are played in this format.
ICC World Cup • Champions TrophyTest
The longest format, played over five days — a draw is possible, so three-outcome markets are available. Pitch conditions, weather, and batting lineup all play a major role in betting decisions.
Bilateral Series • ICC World Test ChampionshipBPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is Bangladesh's domestic T20 league. With both local and overseas players taking part, this tournament is of particular interest for betting.
Domestic T20 LeagueIPL
The Indian Premier League is one of the most competitive T20 tournaments in the world. IPL betting markets are very popular among Bangladeshi users.
International T20 LeagueInternational Matches
Bilateral series and ICC tournaments involving Bangladesh Tigers and all other Test-playing nations — these provide betting opportunities throughout the year.
Tigers • ICC EventsCricket vs Other Sports
What makes cricket distinct is the high number of in-match events — every over, every wicket, and even every ball can shift the odds. In a T20 match, if the run rate suddenly spikes in the final overs, odds change fast.
In football, fewer goals mean odds stay relatively stable and markets are structured differently — see the football betting page for a full guide. In cricket, the combined performance of batters, bowlers, and the team as a whole needs to be assessed together.
Exchange-style live betting, available at BetterLive live betting, allows both BACK and LAY positions on cricket matches — offering more strategic options than football.
What Makes Cricket Betting Different
- In Tests, three results are possible: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw
- In T20 and ODI, only two outcomes — no draw
- The toss result as a betting market is unique to cricket
- Runs per over is an important factor in in-play markets
- Weather and pitch conditions directly affect odds
- In a multi bet, odds from multiple matches are multiplied together
Popular Cricket Markets
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team wins the match? In Tests there are three options (Team A, Team B, or draw); in T20 and ODI just two. Example: if Team A's tenth bowler takes 3 wickets in the final over, Team B's winning odds shorten quickly.
Toss Winner
Which team wins the toss — this is the only cricket market where playing quality is completely irrelevant. Both teams have roughly equal chances, so the odds are close.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in the match or innings? The team's batting order and current form are considered in this market.
Total Runs (Over / Under)
Will the total runs in a match or a specific innings be above (over) or below (under) a set number? Example: if the line is set at 160 and the pitch looks batting-friendly, bet the over.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return — but if any one is wrong, the entire bet loses.
Powerplay Runs
In T20 and ODI, this is a bet on the total runs scored during a specific powerplay — it is an in-match market where quick decisions are needed.
Handicap Betting
One team is given a virtual run advantage — this makes betting on the weaker side competitive as well. The result can be understood without any example stake or return.
Which market is right for you?
The match winner market is the simplest for new users — as there are only two or three options to choose from. For experienced users, total runs over/under and multi bets offer more room for analysis. Before betting in any market, it is good to know the relevant rules — you will find details on the Terms & Conditions page.
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together — so the potential return increases, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet loses. Consider this as part of your entertainment and keep it within your means.
How to understand Decimal, Fractional & American Odds
Odds are written in three different formats, but all three mean the same thing for the same option in the same match. The examples below make it easy to understand the difference.
| Odds Format | Team A Win (Example 1) | Team B Win (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
| Stake (Example) | ৳200 | ৳200 |
| Total Return (if win) | ৳450 | ৳300 |
| Profit (if win) | ৳250 | ৳100 |
The teams and numbers are examples only — they are not live odds or a promise of winning.
Explanation of the three formats
Decimal (2.25): Total return including the stake. A ৳200 stake returns ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450 — meaning ৳250 profit.
Fractional (5/4): ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. A ৳200 stake gives ৳250 profit + ৳200 stake = ৳450 total.
American (+125): A positive number means how much profit on a ৳100 stake. +125 means ৳125 profit on ৳100.
American (-200): A negative number means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. -200 means ৳200 staked for ৳100 profit, total return ৳300.
In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket & Over
Live in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly relevant because the situation changes at every moment of the game.
Say Team A is 120/3 in the 15th over of a T20 match — the odds will be different at that moment. If two wickets fall in the next two balls, the odds for Team B to win will drop quickly. In in-play betting, these changes are visible in real time.
Live betting also works in over-under markets — if a team starts batting slowly after the powerplay, the odds on the under may drop.

Multi Bet Example (Cricket and Others)
In a multi bet, suppose the odds of three selections in decimal are 1.40, 1.70, and 1.80. Multiplying them: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three selections are correct, the return is ৳428. But if any one of them is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
If you want to place a multi bet in live betting, make sure the odds on each selection are fully confirmed before placing — because in-play odds change quickly.
