2 99bet Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to International
From Bangladesh Tigers matches to IPL and the T20 World Cup — 2 99bet is the place to put your cricket knowledge to use in every match. Bet on your preferred markets and watch how odds shift over by over in live in-play.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Understanding the three formats in cricket betting matters — because the style of play and the markets are different in each.
T20: The fastest format. Results come within just 20 overs, so betting markets are the most active. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and the excitement these two tournaments generate among Bangladeshi fans needs no introduction.
ODI: Strategy in the middle overs has a greater influence in this 50-over format. Major tournaments like the ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup are ODI format. Individual batsman and bowler performance markets are quite popular here.
Test: This five-day format is a game of patience. A draw is possible, so the Match Winner market has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or the match is drawn.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 2 99bet. Football betting is a little different from cricket — a 90-minute match sees comparatively fewer goals, which makes markets like handicap and both teams to score more appealing.
A cricket match can produce over 300 runs and offers betting opportunities on both team and individual performance. Football markets focus mainly on goal count, match result, and half-time score. Because the pace and market types differ, many people find cricket more familiar — cricket knowledge and discussion is far more widespread in Bangladesh.
From coffee shops in Dhaka to stadium stands — the cricket talk that goes on everywhere is knowledge you can put to use in the sports section of 2 99bet. You can find out more about betting options at 2 99bet Bet there.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket offers far more than just predicting who wins a match — there are many types of markets. Below is a simple introduction to the 7 most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Who will win the match — Team A or Team B (in Test, a draw option is also available)? The simplest market. Example: if Team A has higher odds, you can back Team A to win.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss at the start of the match? Odds for both sides are almost equal in this market because the outcome is completely random. It is more for fun than for skill.
Top Batsman
Which batsman in which team will score the most runs in the match? This market, where you pick the highest scorer within a team, is enjoyable if you have knowledge of individual players' form.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be more (over) or less (under) than a set number? Pitch type and weather conditions can guide your bet in this market.
Top Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? The role of pace or spin bowlers changes depending on the pitch — recent bowler form is important in this market.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
You can combine results from multiple matches into one bet. Example: three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (rounded) — a ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all are correct; if any one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Highest-Scoring Team in the First Innings
In a five-day Test or an ODI, which team will score more runs in the first innings? The batting line-up of both sides and pitch behaviour play a role in this market. Many people enjoy it as a light-hearted bet.
How to Read Odds
Betting odds can be written in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. The numbers differ but they represent the same probability. See the two worked examples below.
Example 1 — Three Formats Together
Bet on Team A to win, ৳1,000 stake. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If you win, you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
Team B's odds to win: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200 (minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 if you win (profit of only ৳500). The favourite pays less profit because the chance of winning is considered higher.
The teams here are for illustration only — this is not a commitment about any real match. Betting is for entertainment, not a guarantee of financial gain.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Over by Over
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket this is especially interesting because odds change instantly with every wicket, big shot, or tight dot ball.
Say Team A has scored only 50 runs in the first ten overs and lost two wickets — the odds for Team A to win will lengthen, meaning the potential return on that outcome is comparatively higher. Conversely, if a team scores at a rapid pace in the powerplay, the odds for the opposing team increase.
Live betting is particularly popular in T20 matches because the game can swing multiple times in just 20 overs. As the required run rate changes in the final over, the market shifts with it.
In live betting you have less time to decide — so setting your budget in advance is a good habit. It is always wise to follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget: Before each session, decide how much you are willing to bet. This is not an investment — set aside a fixed amount for entertainment purposes.
- Understand one market well: Rather than jumping into every market at once, gain experience with simple markets like Match Winner or Total Runs first.
- Learn how to read odds: Odds written in decimal, fractional, or American format all represent the same value; read the two examples above again.
- Stay patient in live betting: Odds change quickly mid-match; analyse the situation rather than placing bets in a rush driven by emotion.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combined odds in a multi bet can be large, but if all selections are not correct you lose the entire bet — so it is better to keep the stake low on multi bets.
- Follow the 21+ rule: Cricket betting in Bangladesh is only for those aged 21 or above. Read the terms and conditions there to know everything.
Betting as Entertainment
Cricket betting is essentially an entertainment activity — a way to stay more connected to the sport you love. No outcome is certain, so never bet more than you can afford to lose.
