499bet Cricket Betting — from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bet on every moment of Bangladesh's favourite sport. BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — multiple markets across all formats, live odds in real time, and easy deposits via bKash or Nagad.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket is woven into everyday life in Bangladesh. At 499bet, you can bet across three distinct formats — each with its own pace and strategy.
T20: This twenty-over format moves fast and results come quickly. Major franchise leagues including BPL and IPL are played in this format. Conditions change every over, which makes live betting particularly engaging.
ODI: In fifty-over matches, teams have more time to build their innings and odds shift more gradually. The ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are usually played in this format.
Test: This five-day format offers the widest variety of markets. Odds shift throughout the innings — session-by-session total runs and wicket markets are especially popular.
Popular Tournaments
- BPL — Bangladesh Premier League, local franchise T20
- IPL — Indian Premier League, the subcontinent's biggest T20 league
- T20 World Cup — ICC's biennial global T20 championship
- ICC ODI World Cup — held every four years, the most prestigious tournament
- Bilateral Series — Bangladesh Tigers home and away series throughout the year
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is also very popular at 499bet. From European leagues to the World Cup — football offers match winner, both teams to score, and handicap markets.
The difference between cricket and football is that in cricket, if a T20 match ends in a tie or 'no result', that is shown as a separate outcome in the markets, while in football a draw is its own result option. Some cricket markets (such as toss and top batsman) do not exist in football, and some football markets (such as correct score) do not apply to cricket.

Other sports — tennis, badminton, kabaddi — are available in familiar market formats, though the number of markets is fewer than for cricket.
Popular Betting Markets
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — the simplest market. Example: bet on team A or team B in a T20 match.
Simple MarketToss Winner
Bet on the toss result before the match starts. Pick either team A or team B.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs in the match — within a specific team or across the whole match. Especially popular in longer ODI and Test formats.
Player MarketTotal Runs — Over / Under
Whether runs scored will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: will the first innings total exceed 160 runs.
Totals MarketMulti Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets multiplies the odds together. Every bet must win — if any one loses, the whole bet is lost.
Multiple BetsTop Bowler
Who will take the most wickets in the match — this market appears more often in Test and ODI matches.
Player MarketThree Ways to Read Odds
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three different formats. Below, the same value is shown in all three formats with an explanation of each.
Example 1 — ৳500 bet on team A to win
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply the stake by 2.25 to get the total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If team A wins, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 in total (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake). If team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — ৳500 bet on favourite team B to win
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Favourite odds are usually below 1.50 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Only ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | Minus means you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100 |
If team B wins, a ৳500 bet returns ৳625 in total (৳125 profit). Remember — lower odds do not mean lower risk, they mean lower return.
Simple rules for reading odds
- Decimal is the simplest — stake × decimal odds = total return (profit + original stake).
- Fractional is the traditional British format — 5/4 means 5 parts profit for every 4 parts staked.
- American plus (+) means profit on a 100 stake. Minus (-) means how much you need to stake to win 100.
- All three formats express the same value in different ways — the difference is only in presentation.
- Betting is for entertainment. Odds do not guarantee a profit — outcomes are always uncertain.

Live Betting — Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Live or in-play betting means placing bets on a match while it is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging, because odds shift instantly whenever a wicket falls or a big over is bowled.
For example — if a team suddenly loses three wickets in the 15th over of a T20 match, the opponent's odds of winning drop quickly and the batting team's odds rise. Live markets stay open at this point and new bets can be placed.
Live betting in Test cricket is even more varied — conditions change after each session, and markets for wicket probability based on spin or pace conditions remain open. In ODI matches, odds shift most sharply during the powerplay and death overs.
Decisions in live betting need to be made quickly, so it is important to decide in advance how much you want to stake. Betting is always for entertainment — do not go beyond your budget.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start
- Set a budget first. Decide how much you will spend on betting each week or month and stay within that limit.
- Know the formats. T20, ODI and Test have different rules — understand which markets apply to which format before placing a bet.
- Be careful with multi bets. Even though odds are larger in a multi bet, the risk is higher — if any one bet loses, everything is gone.
- Time your live bets. Live markets change fast, so take a moment to understand the situation before making a decision.
- Treat it as entertainment. It is better not to expect a regular income from betting — there are no guarantees, just like any game.
- Confirm you are 21 or older. Betting is not allowed for anyone under 21.
Multi Bet Example
Three bets on three separate matches: decimal odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80. As a multi bet, the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all three win — but if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
The main appeal of a multi bet is the chance of a larger return from a small stake — though that chance is also lower.
