99bd taka Cricket Betting — the best betting experience on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL excitement to ICC tournaments — at 99bd taka there is a betting opportunity on every ball. Bet on multiple markets including Match Winner, Toss and Top Batsman.
Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
The first thing to understand in cricket betting is the format, because the types of markets and likely outcomes differ across T20, ODI and Test matches.
T20: The fastest format — results can shift quickly in a 20-over game. This format is played in BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup. For fans in Bangladesh, BPL feels like a festival — every boundary creates a new equation.
ODI: In the 50-over format, mid-innings situations open up new opportunities in the betting markets. Interest in betting around Bangladesh Tigers matches in the ICC Champions Trophy or the ODI World Cup is particularly high.
Test: This five-day format is the most tactical. A draw is a valid result, so the market offers three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. Separate markets for Test matches are available at 99bd taka.
Those interested in football betting alongside cricket can also bet on all sports with the same account at 99bd taka.
BPL and IPL
Franchise T20 leagues offer the highest level of competition. BPL is Bangladesh's own league, and IPL is India's top-tier franchise tournament.
T20 LeagueInternational Matches
ICC tournaments, bilateral series and the Asia Cup — Bangladesh matches attract extra interest.
ODI TestPopular Betting Markets
Every match has multiple markets. Below are seven common markets with a brief explanation of how each works.
Match Winner
A bet on who will win. Example: if you bet on Team A to win, you only get a return if Team A wins — a draw or a Team B win means the bet loses (draws do not normally occur in T20 or ODI).
T20 ODI TestToss
The simplest market before the match starts — which team will win the toss. Knowing the pitch and ground conditions can help you decide.
Any FormatTop Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs. There is a separate market for each team — for example, who will be Team A's highest run-scorer.
T20 ODITotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored will be above (Over) or below (Under) a set number — for example, whether Team A will score more than 160 runs in their first innings.
Innings BetPowerplay Runs
Over or Under on how many runs will be scored in the first six overs. This market is especially popular in T20, where the form of the opening batters has the biggest impact.
T20Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets. On a pace-friendly pitch a bet on the pacers is easier to reason; on a spin-friendly pitch a bet on the spinners makes more sense.
Test ODIMulti Bet
Multiple markets can be combined into one bet — if all selections are correct you receive a combined return; if even one is wrong the entire bet loses. The risk is higher, but so is the potential return.
How to Read Odds
Betting odds are written in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability in different ways.
| Format | Team A win odds | Team B win odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A (৳200 bet): Decimal 2.25, Fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three are the same odds. If Team A wins, you get your ৳200 stake back plus a total return of ৳450 (profit ৳250); if Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Team B favourite (৳200 bet): Decimal 1.25, Fractional 1/4, American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳250 (profit ৳50).
At 99bd taka, decimal odds are the default, but you can change the format to your preference.
Live In-Play Betting
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — and it works best in cricket, because every ball can change the situation.
What happens when a wicket falls?
When a big wicket falls, the batting team's odds increase (meaning their chances of winning decrease) and the fielding team's odds shorten. When the new batter comes in, the situation is reassessed.
As the overs progress...
In T20, if the run rate is low in the final five overs the batting team's odds rise quickly. If a strong partnership builds in the middle overs, the odds swing back.
In-Play Markets
During live play, markets such as how many runs will be scored in the next over, whether a wicket will fall on the next ball, or which team will be ahead at the end of the powerplay are available at 99bd taka.
Football and Other Sports
Outside cricket, football is the second-biggest sport in sports betting. The main difference between cricket and football betting is the result structure — in football a draw is a normal and expected outcome, so a three-way market (Team A, Team B or Draw) is standard. T20 or ODI cricket does not usually end in a draw, so the market is two-way.
Football handicap betting, corner counts and goals over/under work similarly to cricket's runs over/under market, but the pace and tactics of the game are different.

A Few Useful Things to Keep in Mind When Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. Keeping the following points in mind will help you have a better experience.
- Set a budget: Only bet with money you can afford to lose. There is no need to chase bigger returns after a win.
- Understand the format first: Before placing your first bet, read the market carefully — Over/Under and Match Winner markets work differently from each other.
- Start with small bets: Get familiar with a new market using a small stake first — a large bet should never be your first step.
- Keep a clear head in live betting: Odds shift fast when a wicket falls or a big six is hit — avoid placing large bets on impulse.
- Be careful with multi-bets: Adding more selections increases the potential return, but lowers the chance of all of them being correct — so keep your stake limited.
- Responsible betting: If you feel that betting is affecting your daily life, read the information on the responsible gaming page.
An example of a multi-bet
Odds of three selections: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (rounded). A ৳100 bet returns ৳357 if all three are correct; if even one is wrong, ৳100 is lost.
