Cricket Betting at 9999 colour — Top Markets for T20, ODI and Test
Bet on match winner through to top batsman across BPL, IPL and international cricket. Live in-play, multi bets and easy deposits — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Competitions Most Followed in Bangladesh
From T20 to Test — each format has its own pace, tactics and betting character.
T20 — The Fastest Format
Just 20 overs a side; the situation can change with every ball. BPL and IPL are the most followed T20 leagues in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Tigers' matches at the T20 World Cup draw the attention of a huge number of bettors. This format offers the most markets.
ODI — Fifty Overs of Competition
In a One Day International, both sides bat for fifty overs. There is room for the match to turn around at any stage, which makes live betting on ODIs particularly interesting. Betting markets for ODIs at ICC tournaments are very wide.
Test — The Five-Day Classic
In a five-day match, pitch behaviour, weather and the balance between batting and bowling become far more significant. A draw is a valid result in Test cricket, so a three-way market is available.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
BPL holds a special place for Bangladeshi fans — local cricketers play alongside overseas stars. IPL is held in India, yet its popularity among Bangladeshi fans is enormous. International events like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy also carry very wide betting markets.
Cricket offers more variety in markets than football and other sports — beyond match winner, you can bet on individual performances and runs per over. Compared to sports betting overall, cricket has its own distinct market structure.
How Cricket Betting Differs from Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, 9999 colour also offers betting on football and other sports.
A football match lasts just 90 minutes and goals are typically few. A single event — such as a penalty or a yellow card — can change the entire picture. Cricket spans 20 or 50 overs with many events taking place, so the number of in-play markets is generally higher.
Tennis, kabaddi and other sports are also available for betting, but outside cricket, football has the most markets in Bangladesh. European leagues aside, football betting takes on extra importance during the World Cup or AFC tournaments.
It is worth learning each sport's own market and odds structure — a strategy that works in cricket may not apply directly to football. Treat betting as entertainment; the main purpose is enjoyment.
Cricket vs Football Betting
- Cricket has more in-play markets
- Football matches are shorter and decisions come quickly
- Test cricket includes a draw market
- Multi bets are available on both sports
5 Popular Cricket Betting Markets — Explained Simply
Here is how each market works, with a straightforward example.
Which team will win?
This is the simplest market. Pick Team A or Team B. If Team A is the favourite in a T20 match, their odds are lower and Team B's odds are higher. If you back Team B and they win, you get a higher return.
Who will win the toss?
This market closes before the match starts. With only two possible outcomes, odds are nearly even. Some bettors find toss betting appealing if they have a good read on pitch or weather conditions.
Which batter will score the most runs?
Pick which batter will finish top in a specific innings or across the whole match. The more candidates there are, the higher the odds tend to be. This market is a good example of performance-based betting in cricket.
Will the total runs be above or below a set number?
Say the line for total runs in the first innings of a T20 is 165. If you think the pitch favours batting, choose 'over'. If the total is 166 or more, you win. If it is 164 or fewer, you lose.
Multiple match bets combined
Pick three teams to win across three matches running at the same time and combine them into a multi bet. Say the decimal odds for the three selections are 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 — the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳484 — but all three selections must be correct; one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Odds can be displayed in three different formats, but they all carry the same information. The example below shows the same situation in all three formats:
| Format | Odds on Team A to win | Return on ৳500 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake returned) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳1,250 (same result) |
| American | +150 | ৳1,250 (same result) |
Favourite example: odds on Team B to win are decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳500 stake the return is ৳625 — profit of only ৳125. The favourite's odds are lower, so the return is lower too.
If the bet loses, you lose the full ৳500 — this is a normal part of betting. Betting is for entertainment, not as a guaranteed way to make money. Read our guide on responsible gaming.
Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Betting while the match is in progress is a way to follow cricket more closely.
In-play betting in cricket moves faster than in most other sports, because every wicket, every six and every maiden over has an immediate effect on odds. A team that looks to be struggling early in the match can see their odds shift completely by the halfway point.
For example, in a T20, if the first team's top three batters are dismissed quickly, the match winner odds for the second team come down — because the situation is turning in their favour. If the run rate is good during the powerplay, the 'over' market for the first team's total runs becomes popular.
When a wicket falls
Odds against the batting team rise; odds for the bowling team shorten.
When runs come quickly
Odds on the runs 'over' market shorten; odds on 'under' lengthen.
Rain or interruption
Many markets are temporarily suspended.
In the final overs
When the match result is close, odds move rapidly.

9999 colour LoginSome Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
A few simple habits help you enjoy betting as a long-term activity.
- 1 Set a fixed budget: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend in each session. Staying within that budget is the sensible approach.
- 2 Build skills in one market first: Start with simpler markets like match winner, then move on to more complex ones.
- 3 Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds change quickly, so making decisions driven by emotion is not a good idea.
- 4 Understand the risk in multi bets: Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
- 5 Keep a betting record: Track which markets you bet on, how much you wagered, and what the results were — this helps you understand your own habits.
Keep in mind
Betting is purely for entertainment. If you lose a bet, do not place a bigger bet to recover the loss — that leads to further losses. If you feel betting is going out of control, you can find support information on the Responsible Gaming page.
